Question 1

What is Construction law?

Accepted Answer

Construction law in the UK sets the legal framework for building and construction projects, including building regulations, health and safety, and the responsibilities of those involved in the construction process.

Key legislation in construction law includes the Building Act 1984 and Building Regulations 2010, which outline the rules about how buildings should be constructed, covering everything from structural stability to energy efficiency. Other laws, such as the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, cover planning permission and policies relating to land use and development.

Construction solicitors and lawyers can help draft and review contracts, provide advice on necessary permits and approvals, advise on health and safety compliance, negotiate on your behalf or represent you in court if a dispute arises, and provide support with documentation and paperwork related to construction projects, like drafting notices or filling in forms.
