Construction
Construction litigation forms a major part of our practice. We act for a range of
building owners, building contractors, engineers and other construction professionals
(and their insurers) in a range of construction cases throughout New Zealand.
This has involved acting for owners of multi-unit apartments in various building
claims involving builders, designers, local authorities, certifiers, suppliers and
others. We act for individual owners of residential and commercial premises in litigation
involving various liability defects.
We also regularly act for builders and building contractors on various building
disputes, arbitrations and other construction litigation matters (including claims
for payment under the Construction Contracts Act 2002).
We act for a major Australasian consulting engineering firm on various construction
related disputes involving engineering issues.
We are regularly recommended by other construction professionals and independent
construction experts to assist with resolving complex and difficult construction-related
disputes.
