Construction Disputes

JCT Contracts form the backbone of many building and construction projects. Although commonly used for substantial development works, they can also be found in minor works of construction and renovation. They are designed to provide a clearly defined set of agreed terms so that everyone involved in the project knows where they stand and to prevent disputes. They are not the only form of construction-specific contract available, with many different contract forms in use. Unfortunately, as with any contract, disputes still arise over what certain terms mean and when and how they apply in your particular circumstances.

Construction works can be significantly disrupted by disputes. Disputes cause delays and can ultimately result in a project coming to a complete standstill, potentially causing everyone involved to suffer significant losses. Resolving construction disputes quickly and with certainty is therefore often essential.
