// WHY KUKUH LEGAL

Built for Construction Disputes

Industry-Specific Focus

Our work centres exclusively on construction and engineering matters — PAM, CIDB, FIDIC, and CIPAA are not occasional encounters for us.

Contract Precision

We identify pressure points in contract language before they become disputes, and address them clearly in plain terms you can act on.

Proportionate Approach

Not every dispute needs arbitration. We assess your position honestly and recommend the most proportionate route — advisory, adjudication, or arbitration.

Statutory Timeline Awareness

CIPAA proceedings move on fixed statutory deadlines. We structure our work to keep pace without compromising the quality of each submission.

All Contract Parties Served

Whether you are an employer, main contractor, or subcontractor, our advice is calibrated to your specific position and exposure in the contract chain.

Malaysian Jurisdiction Fluency

From PAM 2018 to CIPAA 2012 and AIAC arbitration rules, our counsel is grounded in Malaysian construction law as it applies today.

// FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Common Questions

What types of construction disputes does Kukuh Legal handle?
We work on payment disputes, variation claim disagreements, extension-of-time denials, liquidated damages assessments, defects liability issues, and termination claims. Our three core services — contract advisory, CIPAA adjudication, and construction arbitration — cover the main stages at which these disputes need legal input.
How does CIPAA adjudication differ from arbitration?
CIPAA adjudication is a faster statutory process designed specifically for unpaid construction claims. It must conclude within fixed timelines under the 2012 Act. Arbitration is a more comprehensive dispute resolution process administered by AIAC, suited for complex matters involving defects, delays, or project termination that require more extensive evidence and advocacy.
How long does contract advisory work typically take?
Contract review and drafting engagements typically span one to three weeks, depending on the scope and complexity of the document. We provide a risk-allocation summary and key-dates schedule as part of the deliverable.
Are your fees fixed or variable?
We offer starting-point fees for each service area — RM 750 for contract advisory, RM 2,400 for CIPAA adjudication representation, and RM 5,000 for construction arbitration. Final fees are discussed at initial consultation based on the specific scope and complexity of your matter.
Does Kukuh Legal advise subcontractors, or only main contractors?
We work with all parties in the construction contract chain — employers, main contractors, and subcontractors. Our advice is shaped around your specific contractual position and the particular risk you face.
Is client information kept confidential?
All client communications and case materials are treated with strict confidentiality under Malaysian legal professional privilege obligations. We do not share case details outside what is necessary to progress your matter.
