Construction Arbitration Lawyers Thailand FAQs

Construction arbitration is a method of resolving breaches in construction law in Thailand without the need to go through a traditional court system. The parties involved in the dispute can jointly choose an arbitrator and in a simplified and private manner, building disputes can be settled legally. Settling construction contract claims using this method very often suits both parties. More privacy is afforded to all involved and you can often get a case concluded far quicker and much cheaper than using the court system in Thailand which can often take years to get a result due to the system being so backed up.

ViZe Counselor has seen its fair share of construction litigation in Thailand as a well-established and respected construction claims expert. Several types of recurring and common issues seem to arise, such as delays. Many occasion has arisen where a building contractor has given an 8-9 month deadline to a client and after 12 months the project is nowhere near complete and a construction solicitor is called upon as the parties can’t agree on how to move forward. Customers have also been known to prevent progress on a project and sometimes clients have unrealistic expectations and building lawyers get called. Also, errors and issues with the design can lead to building and construction lawyers being called.
