Construction and building claims lawyers** Glasgow and Edinburgh

The construction and projects industry is notorious for litigation, claims and disputes. Projects can take years to complete and can be subject to lengthy delays and cost over runs. Things can be made more difficult due to the many parties that can be involved – such as surveyors, architects, funders, developers and builders. As the project develops, matters can become highly contentious between the various parties involved.

Construction Adjudication

Adjudication is a method of construction dispute resolution. Adjudication is a 28 day procedure which is designed to protect cash flow during a construction project.

Adjudication is commonly used for disputes relating to interim payments, delay and disruption of works, final accounts and extensions of timescales for the completion of projects.

The appointed adjudicator will consider the evidence of each party and reach a binding decision.

Construction Arbitration

Arbitration is a further method of construction dispute resolution. Arbitration involves disputes being resolved by an independent, third party arbitrator or arbitration panel.

Final account disputes

Final accounts of how much is due when a construction project has been completed, are a source of many construction disputes. With the amount of factors and different costs to be considered, final accounts can be contentious leaving parties with different understandings of how much is actually due. If you are disputing the value of a final account, contact us today to find out how we can help.

Extension of time/loss and expense claims

Construction contracts often make provisions for time extensions in the event of certain unforeseen delays. The circumstances surrounding a delay is a common source of dispute, with the cause of delay often being an area of contention.

Type of Claim

“Alba Claims is an innovative way for businesses to pursue commercial claims on a no win no fee basis. Businesses are often unable to pursue claims either because the cost of litigation is too high or they consider that they can deploy their finances for a better return elsewhere. Alba Claims can help address this with their no win no fee mechanism.”
