# Arbicon: Construction Dispute Resolution Specialists

Arbicon is a Birmingham-based construction consultancy providing expert dispute resolution, claims management, and quantity surveying services to clients across the UK. With additional offices in Peterborough, London, Leeds, and Manchester, they serve contractors, subcontractors, developers, and legal professionals navigating complex construction conflicts.

The firm specialises in alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods including adjudication, arbitration, mediation, and expert determination, offering faster and more cost-effective alternatives to lengthy court proceedings. Their claims consultancy team handles payment disputes, variation claims, loss and expense claims, extension of time analysis, defects disputes, and professional negligence matters. They also provide expert witness services under CPR35, supporting solicitors and barristers in construction litigation.

What sets Arbicon apart is their pragmatic, commercially-minded approach. Rather than simply advocating positions, they focus on understanding underlying project dynamics and commercial relationships to identify realistic settlement pathways. Their chartered quantity surveyors bring technical depth to financial claims, substantiating quantum with detailed analysis. The team's experience spans contract interpretation, delay analysis, defect assessment, and retention recovery—delivering bespoke solutions rather than template approaches.

Their breadth of service—from pre-action protocol support through to full litigation backing—positions them as trusted advisors throughout dispute lifecycles. Client testimonials emphasise their ability to communicate complex issues clearly, particularly valuable when translating technical disputes for non-specialist stakeholders. This combination of expertise, commercial acumen, and clarity makes them a distinctive choice in the competitive construction advisory market.
