CONTRACTS

// new

Whether as a builder, owner or developer, the content of the proposed building contract is of paramount importance. It governs the rights and obligations of the parties from the date of signing to the date of building handover and beyond. A well-prepared contract is fundamental to a successful outcome. At KO Construction Law we can guide the client through the many potential pitfalls and traps, often proposing innovative solutions and alternatives. Peace of mind results from good legal advice.

In the absence of a well drawn contract, often, in the course of construction, the parties may encounter difficulties and uncertainties. KO Construction Law will review the contractual situation carefully, taking into account all relevant facts and circumstances, and provide helpful, constructive legal advice designed to overcome such hurdles and move to a successful completion.
