Whether you’re a homeowner, developer, or contractor, construction disputes can disrupt your project and cause significant financial losses.
At TV Edwards, our building dispute claims solicitor team provides expertise and guidance when effectively resolving building disputes, securing compensation or remedies for substandard work, breaches, or negligence.
Because every case is different, we tailor our approach to ensure each client’s interests are protected, delivering clear outcomes for them in residential or commercial disputes.
Understanding Building Dispute Claims
Building dispute solicitors handle conflicts arising from construction projects, including breaches of contract, defective work, or payment disputes. There are a number of issues that can cause these disputes, including:
- Breaches of building contracts or errors in terms
- The negligent supply or installation of materials
- Substandard work by contractors or subcontractors
- Negligence by engineers or architects during planning
- Disputes over contractual payments or invoices
Losses can result from these disputes, coming in the form of reduced property value or additional repair costs, among other things. A well-drafted contract can prevent issues from arising, but if they are unavoidable, our building dispute claims solicitor team will pursue remedies like damages or corrective work.
Why Building Disputes Matter
Building disputes can delay projects, inflate costs, or diminish property value, impacting homeowners, developers, or commercial tenants.
If issues are left unresolved, litigation may arise, which will strain relationships and finances. These disputes can also lead to prolonged project delays and unexpected repair costs, which can further impact an individual’s financial stability.
Our contract disputes lawyers offer strategies that address these conflicts, often through amicable resolutions.
When to Seek Legal Advice
If negotiations with your builder fail to resolve defective work or payment disputes, consulting a building dispute claims solicitor early is essential. Prompt action strengthens your claim by preserving evidence and meeting legal deadlines.
TV Edwards’ solicitors provide fixed-fee consultations wherein we assess your case and outline a clear path towards resolution.
