Construction disputes are rarely about the law alone — they are about delay, variation, payment, and cash flow, documented well or badly over years of a project. We advise from the contract forward, because the paper signed on day one decides who absorbs the cost when the schedule slips.
The contract and the license
Contract negotiation and drafting for owners, contractors, and subcontractors — plus the industry's regulatory layer: contractor licensing under the Contractors' License Law (RA 4566), permitting, and bid protests in public and private procurement.
The claims
Delay, variation, defect, and payment claims, prepared with the documentation to survive scrutiny — and dispute resolution where they end up, including arbitration before the Construction Industry Arbitration Commission (CIAC), the specialized forum that decides most Philippine construction disputes. We also run debt collection and recovery with an eye on the cash flow that keeps a contractor operating.
Who we act for
Contractors — including those we serve on retainer — developers, engineers, architects, subcontractors, and suppliers. We know the industry's practical frictions — slow enforcement, slower payment — and we build strategies priced against what recovery is actually worth.
