Dispute Resolution

---

Construction is often an adversarial business and is not for the faint-hearted. The complexity of modern projects, the tendencies to select the lowest bidder and towards subbie-bashing in terms of risk allocation, programming and payment practices makes for a dog-eat-dog environment. 

This is only partly offset by modern attempts to change the industry culture, through partnering, collaborative teams and the introduction of modern working practices such as BIM. Consequently, money claims that cannot be resolved end up in dispute.

Clause One Consulting is expert in dispute resolution, from preparation of claims, to steering you through the dispute resolution process, in conjunction with our programming and quantum colleagues.

Through statutory adjudication under the Housing, Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 as amended in 2009, it is possible for construction contract disputes to be resolved with a legally enforceable Award within 6 weeks from the launch of proceedings.

We are very experienced in mediation and other forms of cost-effective dispute resolution and can assist your business at every step of the way.
