Arbicon

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.

Your Outsourced Commercial Department

Beyond disputes, we provide proactive support to prevent issues before they arise. We are experts in the procurement and evaluation of all major construction contracts, including JCT and NEC standard forms.

From project rescue for failing developments to acting as CPR35 Expert Witnesses in boundary disputes or professional negligence cases, we provide the technical and legal authority required to reach a resolution. We pride ourselves on being approachable and transparent, offering a free initial consultation to help you understand your rights and the best path forward.

"Our mission is to provide the construction industry with a commercial edge, ensuring that contracts are fair, payments are recovered, and disputes are settled without the need for traditional, costly litigation."
