Building and Construction FAQs
Why do construction disputes arise?
Construction disputes often arise because people do not get legal advice before signing a building contract and people do not have an understanding of the unique nature of a building contract.
When should I hire a construction lawyer?
You should hire a construction lawyer before you sign a contract to build with a construction firm.
What are the most common causes of construction disputes?
Disputes arise because people do not understand what construction contracts mean and how they work in practice prior to signing the contract.
Construction disputes may also arise due to a builder’s failure to complete the building or construction project in accordance with the owner’s expectations.
How do you resolve a construction dispute?
You can resolve a construction dispute by complying with the dispute resolution clause in the contract. Alternatively, mediation or issuing proceedings in court can also resolve a construction dispute.
How do I make a complaint against a builder?
You should be careful making complaints against a builder because you do not want to be sued for defamation or causing a builder economic loss. This would only make a difficult situation worse. You should seek legal advice before making a complaint against a builder.
When to start construction litigation?
