A construction contract dispute arises when parties involved in a construction project disagree over contract terms, obligations, or performance expectations. These disagreements can occur between multiple stakeholders, including contractors, subcontractors, developers, architects, engineers, suppliers, and property owners.
Common causes often include late payment issues, delays in completion, defective or substandard works, variations or scope modifications, unclear specifications, or disagreements concerning responsibilities. When left unaddressed, construction disputes can escalate rapidly, significantly impacting both finances and timelines. It is therefore essential to seek timely, expert legal advice to mitigate and resolve conflicts efficiently and effectively.
Construction disputes can arise from contract breaches, payment issues, defects, or project delays. Resolving them efficiently is crucial to minimising costs and disruption.
