Practice areas
Every type of construction dispute. One side of the table.
We represent homeowners, landlords, leaseholders, residents' management companies and commercial property owners. Below is what we recover — and how.
Defective & Substandard Workmanship
Cracking, leaks, structural movement, failed waterproofing, unsafe electrics or plumbing — work that breaches the implied terms of skill and care under the Supply of Goods and Services Act and the Consumer Rights Act 2015. We instruct independent experts, quantify the cost of remediation, and recover it from the contractor or their insurers.
Breach of Building Contract
Disputes under JCT (Standard, Intermediate, Minor Works, Design & Build), NEC4 and bespoke contracts. From scope variations and instruction disputes to wrongful termination and rejection of payment notices, we know these contracts inside out.
Delay & Non-Completion Claims
Liquidated damages, extension of time refusals, abandonment and repudiatory breach. We pursue contractors who walk off site and developers who miss long-stop completion dates, recovering the cost of completing through alternative trades.
Cost Disputes & Overcharging
Final account challenges, contested variations, smash-and-grab adjudications, true value adjudications, and recovery of overpayments. We secure independent quantity surveyor evidence and challenge inflated valuations line by line.
Building Safety Act, Cladding & Fire Safety
Remediation Orders, Remediation Contribution Orders, Building Liability Orders, and claims under the Defective Premises Act 1972 (extended to 30 years). Acting for leaseholders, freeholders and RMCs against developers and original contractors.
Party Wall Disputes
Section 10 awards, surveyor disputes, trespass and damage caused by neighbouring construction. We act for adjoining owners against unreasonable building owners and their contractors.
Adjudication, Mediation & TCC Litigation
Construction Act adjudication (28-day binding decisions), CEDR mediation, and full Technology & Construction Court litigation. We choose the forum that maximises your recovery, not the one most convenient for the firm.
New-Build Defects & Warranty Claims
Claims against NHBC, LABC, Premier Guarantee and other structural warranty providers, alongside parallel claims against the developer under the Defective Premises Act and the Consumer Code for Home Builders.
