Disputes Regarding Contracts for Building Works

Building works come in many different forms, from an extension or conversion, to a complete renovation project. Whatever the nature of the project, a contract will be involved, in many cases more than one. Those contracts might be formal “JCT” style contracts running to many pages in length. They might be less formal written agreements. Or they might be a verbal agreement and a handshake. Whatever the form of the contract, no-one wants a dispute, but unfortunately in building projects things can go wrong and when they do, it’s important to get the correct advice as soon as possible.
