Dispute Resolution

Working in the property and construction industry, you will encounter clients who become involved in disputes at some point. Tom Green Surveying & Architectural Services provides alternative dispute resolution services to contractors and clients nationwide.

Most projects start with the best intentions. Sometimes, however, they do not progress as predicted. Projects overrun, delays occur, and payments are not made. Relationships often deteriorate, and misunderstandings are not discussed.

Disputes can occur for the following reasons: -

1.    A boundary dispute with your neighbour.
2.    A dispute over Rights to Light because of a building project.
3.    A Party Wall dispute.
4.    A contractual dispute with your building contractor.
5.    Professional negligence of your Architect or Surveyor.
6.    Sub-Standard building work
7.    Non-payment by your client

Employing a building contractor or being employed as a contractor can lead to a dispute. We have a professionally trained alternative dispute resolution expert who can assist with contractual disputes.

We are well-versed in alternative dispute resolution to avoid going to court. We will help present your case in an understandable format and assist with the negotiation of the dispute.

We can assist with mediation and negotiation between the parties, and if this is unsuccessful, manage a more formal dispute to a construction adjudication.

We also offer expert witness services and can produce expert witness reports if required. Refer to the expert witness section for more details of this service.

Tom Green Surveying & Architectural Services can assist your legal advisors and suggest the best course of action to reach a compromise or end the dispute.
