Construction Disputes Solicitors: Domestic & Commercial Property
A building dispute in relation to the construction of a domestic or commercial property can have dire consequences for consumer and commercial clients. This might involve poor workmanship by a contractor, failure to properly follow the design or specification of the architect, engineer or surveyor.
