Practical Legal Solutions for the Construction Industry
Practical Legal Solutions for the Construction Industry
The construction industry moves fast and legal issues can escalate even faster. From vague contracts and payment delays to variations, defects or complete breakdowns, the risks in construction projects are high and widespread.
At Enterprise Legal, we help builders, subcontractors, developers, homeowners and consultants manage construction risks from start to finish. Whether you’re entering into a building contract, managing performance under pressure, or dealing with a dispute, we provide fast, commercially minded legal advice that keeps your project moving and protects your bottom line.
We act across the full construction lifecycle, offering fixed or capped fees wherever possible, and a plain-English, proactive approach that prioritises outcomes over legal complexity.
What Does a Construction Lawyer Do?
A construction lawyer helps you navigate the legal risks involved in building, developing, or managing construction projects. That includes:
- Reviewing and preparing building and consultancy contracts
- Advising on payment structures, variations, extensions of time, and project milestones
- Helping you manage issues with contractors, subcontractors or clients
- Enforcing rights under Security of Payment laws
- Representing you in disputes or negotiations involving defects, delays, scope changes or non-payment
At Enterprise Legal, our focus is always practical. We don’t just explain the law, we give you clear recommendations, backed by commercial strategy, so you can make the right decision at the right time.
