Construction Contract Dispute Solicitors   

The construction contract is the number one weapon for both the employer and main contractor when it comes to fending off construction disputes.  The importance of having each section drafted by a legal professional cannot be over-estimated, as ambiguities within the contract documentation are the cause of many construction disputes.  Many of the common areas for disputes outlined above can be mitigated by drafting clauses in the contract to head off the possibility of a disagreement.
