Independent arbitration of construction disputes

If you are caught up in a construction dispute where it is impossible to reach a mutual agreement with the other party and you wish to avoid a time-consuming and costly legal process, Vinçotte is ideally placed to conduct the arbitration proceedings, owing to its complete independence and impartiality.

What you need to know

A construction dispute resulting in legal proceedings can be very expensive both in terms of time and money owing to the various stages that have to be completed. These include looking for and appointing an expert witness, setting up meetings, and drawing up various reports.

The expert witness carries out a court-ordered appraisal and draws up a report to be submitted to the court. In most cases, the court judgment is based on the expert witness' report.

We operate on an independent basis in the construction sector, while being recognised as an impartial entity. Our purpose in conducting independent arbitration proceedings is to reach an amicable settlement with the other party and therefore achieve a compromise. Towards this end, we bring all the different parties together, listen to the different problems, sort out the problems and hold discussions.
