Construction Disputes
If you have a difference of opinion with your contractor, or if you are a builder and you have a disagreement with a client or subcontractor, you are likely to need to resolve your disputes through arbitration, adjudication, County Court or High Court.
Your solicitor will advise you on the best route to find a solution, but whichever process is chosen, a CPR Part 35 compliant report from an Expert Witness on liability and quantum will be required by the Court or Adjudicating Authority.
With our extensive experience of the construction process, we can support you all the way from preparation of reports up to court appearances.
Please contact Chris Easton, Martin Durkin, or Richard Sherwood for further information on how we can assist you.
Professional Negligence
As experts in the field of Building Surveying, we are fully conversant with the standards that surveyors are expected to meet. Unfortunately, sometimes the advice you receive from your professional advisers falls short of this standard, whether during contract administration, a pre-purchase survey or during the design phase.
We have acted on multiple cases where clients have incurred loss due to negligent advice; these disputes can be settled via various forms of ADR or litigation. Our expert surveyors will work closely with your legal team to produce CPR Part 35 compliant reports that will be required to further your case.
We can support you all the way from preparation of reports up to court appearances. Please contact Chris Easton, Martin Durkin, or Richard Sherwood for further information on how we can assist you.
Contract Disputes
Construction Contract Disputes occur either when work is not up to a standard expected, or when a contractor is not paid for work that they have done and thought was of an acceptable standard.
