Construction law becomes contentious when something doesn’t go to plan. Often this is because a party has not complied with their contractual obligations.
Non-contentious
Non-contentious construction law does not involve a dispute. It simply refers to either transactional or advisory work.
Construction law involves very complex legal procedures due to the complicated nature of protocols within the construction industry. We always advice-seeking specialist legal advice when facing a construction dispute.
