Legal risks that can appear in the construction process

Even well-planned projects can face significant setbacks if legal risks are not identified and addressed early.

Among the most common issues are:

  • Poorly drafted or unbalanced construction and technical contracts
  • Permits that do not match the actual project
  • Lack of control over subcontractors, penalties or timelines
  • Technical issues with no legal safeguards
  • Obstacles in the registration of new build status or in the setup of horizontal property divisions

Our role is to anticipate these risks and help you structure the project so that it progresses with full legal control and security.

How we support your project at every stage

1. Legal and planning feasibility review

We assess the legal status of the land or building: encumbrances, urban planning limitations, technical conditions, ownership and legal restrictions. We define the legal structure that best suits the project’s objectives.

2. Drafting of contracts for technical teams and builders

We draft or review contracts for construction, architecture, site supervision and project management. We ensure clear provisions on timelines, penalties, changes and guarantees.

3. Permits and regulatory compliance

We advise you on the application and review of permits, ensuring that technical documentation complies with legal requirements and the project is viable.

4. Legal assistance throughout the construction phase

We provide ongoing legal oversight, addressing contractual issues, project changes, and disagreements with professionals or suppliers.

5. Project closure and legal registration

We guide you through the declaration of new build status, condominium division (if applicable), land registry procedures and cadastral regularisation. Everything is documented, filed and legally secured.

6. Preparation for sale or use

If the property will be sold, we assist with deeds, guarantees, payments and coordination with buyers. If you will retain the property, we ensure they are legally ready for use or exploitation.
