Construction adjudication provides a statutory dispute-resolution process intended to address certain construction disputes without requiring the parties to wait for a full arbitration proceeding. The process operates on compressed timelines, making preparation particularly important. Parties need to understand their contractual rights, the applicable requirements under the Construction Act and the deadlines that may apply to their particular dispute. Adjudication often overlaps with other proceedings, including lien disputes. A timely advise and representation is key to succeeding in an adjudication process.

Mechantaf Law assists clients with assessing their position, preparing or responding to adjudication claims, organizing the relevant contractual and project documentation, developing submissions and representing their interests throughout the adjudication process.
