For your matter in the UAE: BaghdadiLaw assists with construction contracts and project claims, from advice and file review through the agreed legal work and local representation by our licensed partners and lawyers. UAE construction claims should be organised around the event and relief sought: extra time, payment, correction of defects or dispute determination.

BaghdadiLaw brings nearly seven decades of legal practice, since its founding in 1957, to construction contracts and project claims, connecting the legal work to the matter it must address. UAE construction claims should be organised around the event and relief sought: extra time, payment, correction of defects or dispute determination. This category connects those routes while keeping their contractual notices and evidence requirements distinct.
UAE project claims should be organised by the relief sought: time, payment, defects or contract exit. Civil Transactions Law 25/2025 requires current-law and event-date checking; the construction contract's notice and determination process remains central to the evidence review. Choose payment claims for unpaid amounts, delay and extension claims for disputed time, and construction disputes for performance or defect issues. Choose construction arbitration when the dispute process is the immediate question. List overlapping issues without treating their calculations as interchangeable.
We agree the work your matter needs: Distinguish payment, defective work, variation and delay claims before combining them. Compare contractual administration, negotiation and the agreed dispute process; technical cause and financial valuation may need expert input. The deliverable is agreed for your file: A construction-claim breakdown linking each project event to its contractual basis, requested relief and records for further assessment.

Delays, scope changes, design issues and payment disputes require the contract and technical record to be read together.
A delay dispute needs evidence of cause, responsibility and effect on completion.
Delayed payments, disputed quantities, variations and termination can leave substantial project accounts unresolved.
Construction and infrastructure arbitration requires the contract, programme and technical evidence to work together.

They may form part of the same dispute, but each needs its own contractual basis, calculation and evidence. Separate certified work, variations and delay-related costs so payment credits and overlapping amounts can be checked.
Read the dispute clause and any relevant amendments or incorporated terms. Its parties, scope and agreed preliminary steps need review; the fact that a related project contract uses arbitration does not by itself settle the route for your contract.
