Defined legal service
Legal support for construction
Reviewing land rights, construction documents and contracts for an owner, client or contractor. Scope depends on the project, work stage and your role.
The problem you need to resolve
- you plan construction or reconstruction and need to assess legal prerequisites
- you are negotiating a works contract, cost changes, acceptance or a contractor dispute
What you receive
- a legal risk list by construction stage
- contract comments and an agreed documentation plan
What we do
- review the questionnaire, deadlines and agreed document list
- separate verified facts from assumptions and define the legal objective
- Compare land rights, permitted purpose, restrictions and the proposed building.
- Review initial planning data, design and documents authorising work for the relevant project.
- Assess scope, timing, payment, variations, acceptance, defects and liability in the works contract.
- Identify completion, commissioning and registration steps; prepare agreed applications or demands.
What we need from you
- land and property records
- planning data, design and authorisation records
- contracts, estimates, acceptance certificates and payments
- regulatory notices and project correspondence
- answer focused follow-up questions and verify the factual information
- do not send a full set of sensitive documents before the conflict-of-interest check and agreement of a protected channel
Fees
- Fees depend on the facts and scope of support. After a short discussion, we explain what the work includes and its cost. Fees are agreed before work begins.
- A possible first stage is a written action plan: review of agreed documents, legal assessment, next steps, deadlines, risks and alternatives.
- Additional objectives, extensive materials and foreign-language documents are discussed separately.
- Court fees and other mandatory payments are separate from the lawyer's fee. Notarial, translation, valuation and expert costs are also agreed separately.
What may change the route
- objections or new claims from another party
- missing, inconsistent or newly received documents
- the need for valuation, expert evidence, a notarial or registration step
- existing court or enforcement proceedings, a missed or imminent deadline
When this service is not suitable
- legal review does not replace design, technical supervision or safety examination
- unauthorised construction requires separate assessment; legalisation is not guaranteed
How we report progress
- we agree the communication channel before work begins
- we report receipt of materials, completion of the assessment, document readiness and the next required action
- where new facts or extra work arise, we first explain the effect on timing and fees and ask for your approval
