SPECIALISATIONS

BUILDING

A lot can go wrong in the flow of a construction process, both for the client as for the contractor or architect. Some of the works lack quality, a subcontractor runs off with the materials, the invoices do not correspond to the works delivered, a contractor remains unpaid or material prices rise during the project ...

Few construction projects run completely smooth, and legal questions, discussions and problems are never far away. Solutions must also be sought in an increasingly regulated legal framework.

Our BAAKN-experts support you as a builder, but also as a contractor, developer or architect in every phase of the construction process and undertake quick and decisive action before any damage has had a chance to increase disproportionally.

Disputes may be settled where they can, but they become proceedings where necessary.

BAAKN has specialized knowledge based on decades of practical experience in such areas as:

Discussions on (sub)contracting, formal acceptance of worx, defects, etc.
Conducting negotiations
Insurance issues
Expert research, both amicable and judicial
Drafting of agreements: contractor and architect agreements and any disputes arising from them
Advice before, during and after the commencement and execution of construction projects

We provide pragmatic and flexible assistance tailored to all actors involved in construction projects and at every stage of the construction process. You can build on us.
