Time limits apply to construction claims, so it is important not to delay.

As a general rule, a claim for breach of contract must usually be brought within six years. If the contract was signed as a deed, the time limit may be twelve years.

Other time limits may apply depending on the type of claim, the parties involved and when the problem became known.

Because limitation can be complicated, it is sensible to take advice as early as possible. Missing a deadline can prevent you from bringing a claim.
