What is a Building and Construction Dispute?

Building and construction projects have a tendency to generate disputes. When they occur, they are usually destructive, embarrassing and expensive. They can hold up construction, and cost you time and money.

Building and construction matters are usually not isolated issues. They exist within a broader framework that affects many stakeholders and have different consequences depending on the role you play.
