Building
Contract
Disputes
Many building disputes stem from defective work, unclear terms, unclear estimates and quotations, additional costs, defective and/or incomplete work and delays to the works. Homeowners and builders benefit from reviewing contracts before work begins. Seeking advice on contractual responsibilities throughout the life cycle of a project including defective and/or incomplete works and/or additional costs reduces future risk and strengthens your position if a conflict arises.
Defective Work
& Snagging Claims
Defective work and a failure to comply with building regulations and/or statute and/or contractual obligations can be very expensive to correct.
