Construction Law

Navigate Complex Construction Disputes With Our Team of Experienced Construction Lawyers

Construction disputes are likely to be legally and technically complex, typically involving large sums of money and having cascading consequences for all parties involved. Yuen Law acts for all players in the construction industry,  from developers, main-contractors, sub-contractors,  suppliers, consultants, architects, engineers, Management Corporation Strata Title (MCST), to home owners involved in construction projects. 

Common construction claims

Oftentimes, construction claims are a result of challenging conditions leading to an unforeseen change, or some type of non-performance as per the contract terms or letter of award. These could be errors and omissions, progress payments delays, defects, variation orders, construction delay, suspension of contract, disruptions from loss of productivity, termination of construction contracts, property damage,  disputes over insurance coverage, or even wrongful claims on performance bonds.

Our dispute resolution lawyers have extensive expertise in the construction and engineering industry, and possess in-depth knowledge and understanding of the legal and commercial issues that arise through the course of a project. Our building and construction lawyers work collaboratively with clients to arrive at the most ideal resolution, and minimise costly litigation.

Alternative Dispute Resolution in Construction Disputes

Besides litigation, Yuen Law has extensive experience in other forms of construction disputes resolution, such as mediation, arbitration, adjudication under the building and construction industry Security of Payment Act, and if the situation permits, private negotiations. Construction claims do not always have to be resolved in the courts.
