    Contentious construction covers disputes arising from building projects, including contract breaches, defects, delay or disruption claims, payment disputes and professional negligence. A solicitor in this area handles the dispute from start to finish: advising on liability, preparing pleadings and documentary evidence, drafting and issuing statements of case, managing interim applications, and leading or defending court or arbitration proceedings. They also navigate adjudication under the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996, negotiate settlement across JCT and NEC contracts, and instruct experts or mediators where needed.

It wasn’t an easy transaction but glad to say Thomas was calm throughout dispute me loosing my temper numerous times regarding lender enquiries, building control, planning and warranty matters.
