The construction industry is an important sector that contributes to the economic growth for Malaysia. This lead to the coming into force of the Construction Industries Payment Adjudication Act 2012 on 15th April 2014.

- ISSUES IN CONSTRUCTION DISPUTE
- Timeline Disputes – Projects don’t always go as planned. Parties can quickly start feuding over project delays and schedule changes.
- Workmanship and Surety Issues – Anytime workmanship gets questioned, tempers can inflame the situation. If parties disagree on the quality of the workmanship, it can bring projects to a screeching halt.
- Contractor Termination – Termination is often thought of as a lose-lose situation for all parties involved. All alternatives should be explored before considering contractor termination.
- Construction or Design Defects – Accusations of structural defects, substandard materials, or code violations are incredibly serious and need to be investigated and handled very carefully.
- Mechanics’ Liens – When contractors and suppliers go unpaid, they have a right to enforce mechanics’ liens under Texas law.
- Contract Drafting and Negotiations – Unlike business contracts and other types of contracts, construction contracts have industry specific considerations. Only experienced construction lawyers will understand your needs and protect your interests when drafting and negotiating construction contracts.
