    Building work disputes cover disagreements arising during the design, development or completion of building projects, including defective work, delay, cost overruns, defects, variations to the contract, and payment disputes under construction contracts such as JCT and NEC. A solicitor in this area will advise on contract interpretation, pursue or defend claims for money or performance, prepare and serve notices, draft and respond to adjudication demands, liaise with engineers and surveyors, prepare court or arbitral proceedings, and negotiate settlements or interim solutions while protecting the client’s position in the project timeline and budget.
