Construction Litigation & Dispute Resolution Lawyers

Specialist Lawyers in Building & Construction

Construction disputes can escalate quickly and may require formal dispute resolution processes where issues cannot be resolved at a project level.

Our team of construction litigation lawyers assists developers, contractors, subcontractors and property owners with construction disputes across residential and commercial projects, including contract disputes, payment issues, delays and defective work.

Construction Dispute Resolution

Construction disputes may arise at various stages of a project and can involve multiple parties and complex contractual arrangements.

Dispute resolution processes may include:

  • negotiation between parties
  • adjudication under Security of Payment legislation
  • mediation and alternative dispute resolution processes
  • formal litigation proceedings

The appropriate approach will depend on the nature of the dispute and the project circumstances.

Construction litigation may involve issues such as:

  • contractual disputes
  • payment disputes and claims
  • delays and extensions of time
  • variations and scope changes

Litigation processes are governed by procedural requirements and may involve multiple stages.
