Building & Construction
Building works are a complicated enterprise, affecting clients both personally and financially. Before you enter into a building contract, even if it is a 'standard form', get our advice on its terms. Having a comprehensive contract, in an accessible and easy to understand format, can help to avoid future dispute and prolonged litigation. We will work to understand your individual needs, and ensure that your contract caters for them, whether you are an owner, a builder or a contract administrator.
If you are unsure about your rights under a building contract, or if you fall into dispute with your builder because they are not meeting your expectations or with your client because they are in breach of contract, get our advice as soon as practicable.
We can also assist you in dealing with claims for loss or injury, disputes with authorities, obtaining development consent or challenging unreasonable consent conditions.
