37 Commerce Road, Lynch Wood, Peterborough, Cambs, PE2 6LR, Peterborough
Founded in 2006, we bridge the gap between quantity surveying and construction law. We specialise in resolving complex disputes in weeks rather than years, acting for employers and contractors to recover payments and settle contract conflicts without the stress of court.
Disputes are an expensive reality in the construction industry, but they don't have to end in a courtroom. At Arbicon, we provide a unique professional combination of Chartered Quantity Surveying and Construction Legal Services designed to protect your commercial interests and resolve conflict swiftly.
Whether you are a building employer, a main contractor, or a sub-contractor, we act as your dedicated commercial department. We understand that in construction, time is money. That is why we focus on Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)—a faster, more cost-effective way to settle disagreements in days or weeks, rather than the years often required for litigation.
Resolving Disputes in Weeks, Not Years
We are leading specialists in Construction Adjudication, a process that allows parties to resolve payment and contract disputes rapidly. Our team doesn't just advise; we represent you through the entire process. By leveraging our deep understanding of the 'Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act', we help our clients navigate:
- Payment & Pay Less Notice Disputes: Ensuring you get paid for the work you've done.
- Final Account & Variation Claims: Valuing changes accurately to protect your margins.
- Extensions of Time: Expert delay analysis to mitigate liquidated damages.
- Loss and Expense: Recovering the true cost of project disruptions.
A National Presence with Decades of Expertise
Since our founding in 2006, we have grown into a leading practice with a footprint across the UK's major construction hubs. Our team includes professionals with over 40 years of experience in the field, providing a level of seniority and insight that is rare in the industry.
