At Legalbuild, we believe that prevention is the strongest form of protection. That’s why we don’t just deliver legal solutions - we equip your team with the knowledge and tools they need to operate with confidence.

Our tailored training programmes are designed specifically for the construction industry, giving your business practical guidance on contract management, dispute avoidance, and compliance with legal requirements. By embedding industry best practices into your daily operations, you reduce the risk of costly mistakes and strengthen your commercial position.

Through our training, you’ll also learn how to get the most value from Legalbuild’s services, ensuring our expertise becomes an integrated part of your project delivery. The result is a business that is better informed, more resilient, and prepared to achieve stronger outcomes on every project.

Your contracts are your first line of defence - and often the difference between a smooth project and a costly dispute. At Legalbuild, we make sure every agreement you enter into protects your interests, manages risk, and sets your projects up for success.

Whether it’s reviewing your existing terms and conditions or drafting robust new contracts, our specialists bring both legal precision and commercial construction know-how. We don’t just flag problems - we provide practical solutions that reflect how your business actually operates.

With clear, watertight contracts in place, you gain:

• Stronger protection against disputes and unexpected costs

• Greater certainty over responsibilities, timelines and payment terms

• The confidence that your business is always positioned for the best outcome

From subcontractor agreements to multi-million pound development contracts, we help you start every project on firm ground.

In the UK construction industry, timing and precision are everything. A single missed or poorly drafted notice can undermine your rights, delay payments, or even invalidate your claims altogether.

At Legalbuild, we ensure that every notice you issue is timely, compliant, and enforceable. Our team reviews your contractual and statutory obligations, identifies the key deadlines, and guides you in preparing notices that meet every requirement.

With our support, you can be confident that:

• Notices are issued on time and in the correct form

• Your business remains fully compliant with contract and statutory rules

• You eliminate the risk of invalid or unenforceable claims

• Your commercial position is safeguarded at every stage of the project

By removing uncertainty and strengthening compliance, Legalbuild gives you the clarity to focus on project delivery - knowing your rights are fully protected.

Delays are an unavoidable reality in construction - but how you prepare for them can make all the difference. Without the right evidence, even genuine claims can collapse, leaving businesses exposed to significant losses.

At Legalbuild, we take a proactive approach to forensic delay analysis. Rather than waiting until a dispute arises, we work alongside your team during the life of the project to gather, assess, and organise the evidence you’ll need. This ensures that, if a claim or defence becomes necessary, you’re already equipped with a clear, credible record of events.

Our forensic delay services include:

• Real-time project monitoring to identify emerging delays early

• Systematic evidence collection while works are ongoing

• Robust analysis to establish cause, effect, and liability

• Preparation of substantiated claims or defence documentation

With Legalbuild on your side, you won’t be scrambling for records after the fact. You’ll have a complete, accurate, and persuasive evidential base ready to protect your position and secure the best possible outcome.

Financial impacts can be just as disruptive as delays - and often even more difficult to quantify. At Legalbuild, we work alongside your team throughout the life of a project, systematically gathering and analysing cost data as it arises. By tracking variations, disruption, and resource use in real time, we build a clear and defensible picture of the financial position.

Our experts prepare robust, evidence-based assessments of additional costs and losses, ensuring every figure is backed by contemporaneous records and aligned with contractual and statutory requirements. This proactive approach means that if a dispute does emerge, you already have a well-structured, fully substantiated quantum claim - or defence - ready to withstand scrutiny in negotiation, mediation, adjudication or arbitration.

With Legalbuild’s forensic quantum analysis, you don’t just react to financial disputes - you’re prepared for them from day one.

Strong claims are built on strong evidence. In the fast-paced world of construction, key details can easily be overlooked, misplaced, or recorded inconsistently - leaving businesses exposed when disagreements escalate.

At Legalbuild, we take a proactive approach to dispute substantiation. From day one of your project, we help you capture, compile, and organise the critical documentation you’ll need - from correspondence and meeting minutes to site diaries, progress report, and photographic evidence. Every document is indexed, structured, and aligned with contractual and statutory requirements, ensuring it can be relied upon in any proceedings.

By preparing this evidence as the project unfolds, we remove the scramble to piece together records after a dispute has already arisen. Whether you are advancing a claim or defending your position, you will be fully equipped with a clear, credible, and comprehensive evidence base that stands up in dispute resolution proceedings.

With Legalbuild, your disputes are not only substantiated - they are positioned for success.

Prevention is always better than cure - and in construction, the right commercial decisions made early can mean the difference between profit and loss. Legalbuild works with you throughout the project lifecycle to identify risks before they escalate and put robust controls in place.

Through regular risk audits and “dispute health checks”, we review how your contracts are being applied in practice, ensuring your team is complying with notice requirements, payment provisions, and other key obligations. This proactive oversight not only helps you avoid costly mistakes but also strengthens your negotiating position if challenges arise.

Our advice is clear, practical, and rooted in decades of experience in UK construction law and disputes. By embedding best practice in to your day-to-day operations, we give you the tools to protect your margins, reduce exposure, and maintain commercial confidence across every project.

With Legalbuild, risk is managed, compliance is assured, and your business is set up to succeed.

Even with the best preparation, not every dispute can be avoided. When issues escalate, Legalbuild is by your side - managing the entire process from start to finish so you don’t have to.

We guide you through every stage of resolution, whether by negotiation, mediation, adjudication or arbitration. Our experts coordinate the strategy, evidence, and procedures needed to protect your commercial position, ensuring your case is presented clearly, credibly, and in line with the requirements of each forum.

With Legalbuild in control, you can remain focused on delivering your projects, confident that your dispute is being managed with precision and professionalism. From early settlements to formal proceedings, we keep your objectives front and centre - working to resolve disputes efficiently, cost-effectively, and with the least possible disruption to your business.

With Legalbuild, resolution is never just about closing a dispute - it’s about securing the best outcome for your business.
