Claims against Architects
Architects have a very important job within any building project, as there their plans are ultimately responsible for the project being delivered on time and on budget. If they get it wrong, everything else can be affected.
At Colemans-ctts we are experienced in dealing with claims against architects who are accused of acting negligently. In a case such as this, it must be that the architect’s negligence has led directly to a financial loss of some description. Due to this delicate job, any mistakes at all can be very costly. One example is if plans for the build of a house were incorrect but this is discovered at a later stage where it would be very costly to roll back the project and make the necessary changes.

Our Process
Our first job when you come to us with a case against an architect is to ascertain how strong your case is and advise you on whether or not it is likely to succeed. It is not an easy and straightforward process and we will have to assess all of the relevant paperwork and plans related to the project. This negligence must be proven to be below the standards of a “reasonably competent” architect, and on occasion we may also consult with another architect to get a second opinion.
Throughout this whole process we will be honest and open with you about the chances of your claim being successful. In many cases we act on a 'no win no fee' basis to take away any risks for you.

- Defective or inadequate plans or project preparation work
