Navigating construction complexities in land-scarce Singapore requires extensive preparation and collaboration with the right entities. Builders must adhere to specific laws to minimize environmental disruption and ensure proper maintenance post-construction. This intricate landscape necessitates expert legal guidance. Construction projects often involve numerous parties, complex contracts, and significant investments, which can lead to disputes and potential litigation. Our legal firm specialises in construction litigation, providing clients with the expertise and guidance they need to navigate these challenging situations. We understand the unique challenges faced by clients in the construction industry and have a deep knowledge of the legal and regulatory landscape. Our team of skilled lawyers is committed to delivering tailored solutions that protect our clients' interests and help them achieve their objectives.

Singapore's construction laws are governed by the Building and Construction Authority Act.

 

Our firm's construction litigation expertise spans a wide range of areas, including:

1. Contract disputes: We have extensive experience handling disputes related to construction contracts, including claims of breach, disputes over the scope of work, payment disputes, and delay claims. Our lawyers are well-versed in the interpretation and enforcement of construction contracts and are skilled at negotiating, mediating, and litigating these disputes to achieve the best possible outcomes for our clients.

2. Construction defects: Our firm has successfully represented clients in claims involving construction defects, such as design flaws, faulty materials, or poor workmanship. We work closely with clients and industry experts to identify the causes of defects and develop strategies for resolving disputes, whether through negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or litigation.

3. Delay and disruption claims: Delays and disruptions can have significant financial consequences for construction projects. Our lawyers have experience representing clients in claims related to delays and disruptions, including those arising from unforeseen site conditions, change orders, or other factors. We help clients quantify their damages and pursue appropriate remedies, such as extensions of time, additional compensation, or termination of the contract.

4. Insurance coverage disputes: Construction projects often involve multiple insurance policies, which can lead to disputes over coverage for losses or damages. Our lawyers have experience handling insurance coverage disputes related to construction projects, working to ensure our clients receive the full benefits of their insurance coverage.

5. Regulatory compliance and permitting: Our firm has a deep understanding of the regulatory landscape governing the construction industry, including zoning, land use, and environmental regulations. We advise clients on compliance issues and represent them in disputes related to permitting and regulatory enforcement actions.
