Employing someone to renovate your property, build an extension or even a new home from scratch can often be an expensive and stressful process, involving architects, builders and other sub-contractors. People save for many years so they can afford to create the home of their dreams.
Unfortunately disputes can arise in relation to building works. For example, the work may not have been completed to a professional standard or work may be halted due to a dispute over the amount of money that is owed to the builder. In these circumstances Stephens Scown's Dispute Resolution team can advise you on where you stand and what your legal options are, so that the dispute can be resolved as quickly and as cost effectively as possible.
Stephens Scown has extensive experience of dealing with a broad range of building disputes and if it is not possible to resolve matters by way of negotiation, mediation or some other form of alternative dispute resolution, it may be necessary to issue court proceedings.
In some circumstances and depending on the type of contract you have with your builder or architect, it may be appropriate for you to pursue your claim by way of arbitration, adjudication or expert determination. Our team can advise you on these options.
