Construction law is a complex area that applies at every stage of a building’s life: from design to completion, and well beyond, through the statutory guarantees that apply for several years after handover.
Owners and developers
Have you had construction or renovation work carried out and defects have appeared? Were defects noted at handover or discovered in the months that followed? Maître Toorawa assists you in asserting your rights against the contractor, its insurer or in expert proceedings.
Several statutory guarantees apply: the perfect completion guarantee (1 year), the two-year guarantee for equipment items, and the ten-year decennial guarantee for defects compromising the structural integrity of the building or rendering it unfit for its intended purpose.
Construction professionals
Builders, developers, architects, contractors: the firm advises you on the drafting and negotiation of your contracts, assists you during works handover, and defends you when your liability is called into question before civil or administrative courts.
Off-plan sales (VEFA)
Off-plan purchases offer the buyer specific legal protections. In the event of late delivery, non-conformity or unresolved snagging items, Maître Toorawa represents you before the developer or before the competent courts.
