How to Save Time and Money When Facing a Construction Dispute
When building a new property there are no end of hurdles that need to be jumped. From planning, budgeting and permissions to one of the more difficult aspects: construction disputes. Construction disputes can take many forms and they have the habit of creeping up on you right when you thought it was plain sailing. If the dispute is not resolved quickly and efficiently, it can have a huge impact on the overall project, causing delays which lead to huge losses of both time and money. This is why it always pays to be prepared for unexpected problems when embarking on your project.
How to Avoid a Dispute
There are a number of ways in which you can seek to avoid a dispute in the first place. These include making your intentions clear in your initial plans and pre-empting when you are likely to go off course so that you can prewarn the other parties involved. For smaller issues, an open meeting with the other party can help to resolve the problem without conflict. Meetings such as this should be clearly documented and can benefit greatly from the input of an experienced third party. Here at Simon Levy, we have professional consultants on hand who are adept at resolving disputes outside of court. Our advisors will also be able to advise you on the best course to take in order to resolve a dispute as swiftly as possible in order to limit disruption to your project.
Common Types of Construction Disputes
Construction disputes take many forms, some more common than others. Often, disputes arise when there is a perceived breach of contract or delays in the construction process. Likewise, delayed payments, false charges or poor quality of the work itself are often to blame. Whether a dispute is being raised against you, or you need to raise a dispute with your construction company, our team at Simon Levy Associates is experienced in a whole range of issues and will be able to guide you from planning permissions right through to construction. All in all, communication is key to ensuring that all parties work together to resolve any issues as quickly as possible.
