Situation:
Our client, the development company ABC Ltd., completed the construction of a modern apartment building with 50 residential units and commercial premises on the ground floor. However, during the construction process, several disputes arose with the general contractor regarding the quality of the work performed and compliance with contractual terms. The general contractor refused to acknowledge certain complaints and demanded additional payment for allegedly completed work, which the client considered to be substandard or not carried out at all.
Client’s Request:
The client requested legal support in resolving the dispute with the general contractor. The goal was to reach a fair settlement that would reflect the actual state of the completed work and minimize the client’s financial losses. It was essential for the client to resolve the matter efficiently and without delay.
Our Solution:
Legal Contract Analysis: We conducted a thorough analysis of the contractual terms between the client and the general contractor to assess whether all contractual obligations had been fulfilled.
Expert Assessments: We arranged for independent expert evaluations of the quality of the work performed, which confirmed deficiencies and substandard execution of certain parts of the construction.
Negotiations with the Contractor: We represented the client in negotiations with the general contractor, presenting evidence of defective work and demanding repairs or financial compensation.
Litigation: As the negotiations did not lead to an agreement, we prepared all necessary documentation and initiated legal proceedings to enforce the client’s claims. Ultimately, the opposing party relented and reached an out-of-court settlement with the client.
Result:
Thanks to our legal support, the client was able to reach a fair settlement with the general contractor. The contractor agreed to carry out the necessary repairs at their own expense and to provide financial compensation for the substandard work. The client was very satisfied with the outcome and was able to proceed with the sale of the residential units and commercial premises without further legal complications.
