We were involved in a payment dispute with a builder who had failed to honour payments legitimately due to us. Having never been through a formal claims process before, we were uncertain of where to start. We chose BorCon based on our past dealings and because of their reputation, and it turned out to be the right decision.
From the outset, the BorCon team ‘Brad’ was professional, thorough, and reassuring. He took the information we provided and prepared a comprehensive Statement of Claim on our behalf, and later our Replication — all handled with precision and care. Throughout the process, we felt informed and supported every step of the way. Communication was clear, timely, and always professional.
What stood out most was the BorCon's dedication to understanding our matter and presenting it in the strongest possible way. We never felt like just another client — we felt like our case genuinely mattered to Brad.
When the matter was awarded in our favour, the relief was immense. Knowing that the payment was legitimately due and that BorCon helped us achieve that outcome means a great deal to us.
We would not hesitate to recommend BorCon to any individual or business facing a payment dispute or similar matter. Their expertise, professionalism, and commitment to their clients is second to none.
Thank you, BorCon, for serving us with pride.

Brad from BorCon possesses exceptional skills in dispute avoidance and, when necessary, resolution through the various ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution) processes available to contractors and subcontractors. Working with him has made a significant positive impact on my business as a subcontractor operating in South Africa.
His ability to dissect the core issues of complex construction disputes and provide objective, clear advice has helped my company avoid substantial legal costs. Brad’s excellent communication skills, combined with his extensive knowledge of South African law, standard form contracts such as the JBCC and MBSA, and his hands-on experience in the construction industry, make him an invaluable ally in any dispute resolution process.
Brad has also provided Royal Coat Africa with solid contractual guidance at the pre-tender stage, offering us sound advice that helped us navigate potential risks.
When construction disputes arise, the stakes are high, and emotions often run deep. Brad’s logical, analytical approach, combined with his expertise in drafting statements of claim or defense, is an invaluable asset to any client. He has a remarkable ability to perform under pressure, exhibiting a "big-match temperament" that instills confidence in his clients. His turnaround time is also highly commendable. Without hesitation, I would highly recommend BorCon for any dispute resolution needs.
