Construction Litigation

Construction defects, stalled projects, and payment disputes can quickly disrupt schedules and budgets. Kugler Wechsler represents owners, contractors, and subcontractors with the urgency and precision these disputes require.

When a Project Stalls, We Help You Regain Control

Construction disputes arise at critical moments: when a project falls behind schedule, defects appear after substantial completion, payment obligations are contested, or contractual responsibilities are disputed among project participants. The consequences can affect financing, timelines, occupancy, and long-term asset value, and delays often compound the damage. 

Kugler Wechsler acts for owners, general contractors, subcontractors, developers, and financial institutions in construction litigation across Québec. Our team understands the technical realities of construction projects and the legal framework governing them.

We Keep Your Project Timeline and Exposure in Focus

We identify the core problem and the outcome needed at the outset. Whether defending against a deficiency claim, enforcing a payment obligation, or pursuing a construction hypothec, we tie the strategy to the project timeline and financial exposure. When urgent relief is necessary to preserve rights or prevent further damage, we act quickly to secure your position before the courts.
