Contract reviews, advice and negotiations - all for a fixed price
We will advise you on your proposed building contract, no matter if it's based on HIA or Master Builders or an entirely bespoke contract.
We will explain your key risks, rights and obligations. We can then help you to negotiate to secure the best possible legal arrangements. We know what to ask for, what can be conceded in return and what should be non-negotiable.
To help you get started, we've prepared these guides for property owners, so you know what to check and to watch out for.
Advice and support during construction - so you know the best thing to do
If you've been left in a state of frustration and uncertainty due to delays, unexpected costs, defects, we can help you.
We will help you understand whether the parties are fulfilling their contractual and statutory obligations, and whether claimed payments are really due.
We will guide you through it all, explaining things in plain English, so you can properly understand your rights and obligations and know what to do.
Dispute resolution - at the right price
With our detailed knowledge of construction law and dispute resolution, we can assist you to resolve disputes with your construction partners.
Most of all, we will help you ensure that you get what you have paid for.
Most disputes can be resolved without escalating to formal legal proceedings. We can help you to achieve that by:
- issuing notices under the contract, demanding your counterparty fulfil their contractual and legal obligations; and
- negotiating on your behalf, aiming for a prompt, cost-effective resolution to the dispute.
If your dispute can't be resolved through negotiations and informal dispute resolution methods, we can escalate matters to representing you in legal proceedings, before the state Civil and Administrative Tribunal or Courts (be it Magistrates, Local, Country, District or Supreme - we're experienced in it all).
And we can even help you resolve your fencing dispute or encroachment dispute with your neighbour.
