What is a Building Dispute?
A building dispute arises when conflicts and disagreements occur during a construction project, whether it is residential or commercial. These disputes can occur for various reasons, such as issues with the quality of workmanship, delays in construction timelines, disputes over contract terms, non-payment, or disagreements regarding variations or defects. When one party fails to fulfil their contractual obligations or there is a disagreement regarding project specifications, it can lead to a building dispute. Resolving such disputes requires legal expertise and a thorough understanding of construction laws and regulations to protect the rights and interests of the parties involved.
