Construction & Engineering

Hardwicke’s specialist team of construction barristers has members listed as leaders in their field in the principal legal directories. We have acted across the whole spectrum of domestic and international construction and engineering disputes, acting for employers, contractors and construction professionals.

Our work includes residential properties, from bespoke houses to large residential developments, and commercial buildings such as hotels, galleries and museums, warehouses and factories. Our expertise extends beyond buildings and includes: dockyards, ship building, tunnels, roads and industrial plants. Recently, our barristers have been involved in cases involving the Buncefield Oil Storage Depot, the Bath Spa, Wembley Stadium, the new runway at Manchester Airport and the Welsh Assembly building.

We deal with claims under all of the main standard forms (JCT, ICE, NEC3, GC/Works, DOM/1 DOM/2) including claims for payment, delay & disruption, extensions of time and defective works. Hardwicke’s size and breadth allows us to offer a full service to construction clients.
 
Our barristers understand the pressures of construction disputes, particularly the time limits in adjudication. We can put together teams of barristers at all levels at short notice to deal with adjudication matters and our barristers are experienced in the enforcement of awards and challenges to jurisdiction.
