Shopping Centre, W. London

A major Department Store in London’s Bayswater was re-developed and extended to create a show piece shopping mall development.

The project suffered some very significant structural and building services problems during construction that led to very extensive delays in the opening of the centre.

Anser’s directors were engaged as part of a small team by the client to review the causes for the delay, to evaluate financially the disruption that had occurred and to work with their solicitors to put together and prosecute a claim against those liable.

The work entailed forensic research into what had gone on and the construction of critical path as-built programmes. Our client was successful in making a very substantial financial recovery through the courts.
