Construction has traditionally been one of the main drivers of the economy. Business processes in this area are extremely complex and diverse: they include not only direct production tasks, but also interaction with contractors, suppliers, regulatory authorities and end customers. At any stage, disputable situations may arise, which can lead a delay of deadlines or the cost increases. To minimize these risks is the main goal of construction consulting. What is included in the concept of "legal support"? It is advisable to entrust this area of ​​activity to professionals, advises lawyer and expert Dmitry Gorbunov (Managing Partner of Tendaudit Law Firm).

Indeed, the tasks of a lawyer in support of construction include understanding the following points: at what stage of construction is the object, what documentation needs; clear assignment of responsibilities of all parties at all stages of construction with reference to specific dates; fixing the results of work in documents, etc.

A composition and number of documents may differ depending on whether the building being erected- a residential building or a shopping center. The only competent legal support can reduce the risks of failure to meet construction deadlines and financial losses.
