construction
Construction law is a complicated field, from front end project development to back end litigation, disputes, rights and remedies Our construction lawyers, drawn from specialists across our firm, are well versed in the legal issues concerning building contracts, development agreements, collateral warranties and novation agreements. We know the legal issues that surround building contracts and what issues, if not dealt with correctly in a contract, will lead to dispute during construction and beyond.
As a team of highly experienced practitioners, CCW’s solicitors housed in a specialist Construction Unit have been involved in major development construction projects throughout Scotland and further afield.
Specifically, we can assist you:
- choose the most appropriate method of project procurement and attain for our clients the greatest transfer of risk or, where acting for contractors, obtain the most favourable commercial terms achievable
- negotiate the main commercial elements of any building contract, whether drafted on JCT, NEC3 or bespoke terms
- prepare and negotiate the ancillary building documentation including professional appointments, sub-contracts and the suite of collateral warranties required in a development
- give you pragmatic advice to tailor the package of construction documentation to the precise size and value of the project
- negotiate with funders over the terms of construction documents
Similarly, where we act for contractors or other consultants, we can negotiate the most favourable terms of contracts or appointments for them and flag up significant areas of risk to them.
