Disputes between builders, trades people and consumers or businesses are often made more complicated by the lack of formal written contracts between the parties, but can be equally as complicated where there is a written agreement. Often contracts have been varied (either in writing or verbally) during the build project and are often lacking in necessary detail from the beginning. It can be just as problematic where contracts have not been amended but where they perhaps should have been.
In these situations there is a lot to be argued and much to be disputed, with expert legal representation likely to be pivotal in dictating the course of the dispute and its successful resolution.
