Construction, Development & Planning

Construction, development and planning services cover the legal side of building in Ireland: planning permission conditions and compliance, section 5 declarations, exempted development questions, building agreements and site purchase contracts, JCT and RIAI-style construction contracts, disputes with builders, retention and defects claims, and the certificates of compliance a purchaser’s solicitor will demand when you come to sell.

Work of this kind is carried out by a solicitor regulated by the Law Society of Ireland. We are not a solicitor’s practice and do not provide it — to instruct a solicitor, use the Law Society of Ireland’s Find a Solicitor directory. You upload the planning file, contract or correspondence and receive a written opinion or a drafted document. Where a matter needs an engineer, architect or planning consultant as well as a solicitor, you will be told so before you pay, and the price of the legal work is agreed in advance.
