Environment Law
The built environment, encompassing buildings, infrastructure, public spaces, and landscapes, is a fundamental aspect of modern life, underpinning how countries and their society’s function and interact.
Oversight and regulation of these environments are governed by a specialized and evolving branch of legal practice known as Built Environment Law. This field intersects diverse disciplines, including property law, planning, environmental protection, health and safety, construction, heritage, and urban development. The Built environment covers a vast group of trades, from the Professional Team and Main Contractor right through to the plumber, electrician and everyone in between.
We can assist with the review of the agreement for the project or draft an agreement for you, tailor-made to the specific project. These contracts can either be of a general nature or of a specific nature for a specific project. Although many Building Contracts can be pretty standard, one must be mindful of specific changes or amendments that are recorded in the Contract Data for these agreements.
We have experience in the built environment and are able to appropriately guide your business in the process from the outset, whether that is during the tender stage or the appointment phase. Our intricate knowledge of the industry as a whole enables us to understand the role of each professional, builder, plumber, electrician etc. involved in the project.
If not managed appropriately, these changes could drastically affect one’s project which may ultimately lead to one’s financial downfall, and the risk of suffering a complete economic and financial loss. We are able to assist both big and small companies alike with any of their needs in this regard.
