Contractor fully vindicated by the arbitration board for the building industry
Multi-million renovation of a listed canal house in Amsterdam. All of the principal’s claims were rejected in two instances.
The Case
A contractor carried out a large-scale renovation of a listed canal house in Amsterdam. The project was worth millions of euros. Gradually, a serious conflict arose: the principal held the contractor liable for alleged errors, blocked all payments, and refused to engage in discussions. The situation was completely deadlocked.
What Was at Stake
The contractor was in dire financial straits. No payments, substantial claims, and a principal who cut off any discussion. The company's continued operation was put at risk.
The Strategy
I developed a clear strategy and brought the case before the Arbitration Board for the Building Industry (Raad van Arbitrage in bouwgeschillen). Step by step, I demonstrated that the principal’s allegations were unfounded and that the contractor had acted correctly—carefully, precisely, and with a thorough understanding of construction practices.
The result
All of the principal’s claims were dismissed—both in the initial proceedings and on appeal. The contractor was fully vindicated and received the payment to which he was entitled.
