• ​Described by clients as “​dedicated and sharp” in prior editions of the Legal 500 rankings

While spending many years working on international construction projects, friends and family members kept asking Alex for assistance with legal matters for their residential building projects. Alex  came to realise that few law firms stand ready to provide specialist help to parties to residential building projects.

​So, Alex started Build Right Construction Lawyers to do precisely that.

Since then, we have helped dozens of property owners, developers and owners corporations successfully navigate the legal landscape to achieve the best possible legal outcome for their residential builds, particularly by enforcing their contracts and resolving disputes with their builders.  

We advocate for the everyday person,

protect investments and ensure peace

of mind.

We also help builders and subcontractors understand their legislative obligations and the regulatory environment with which they must comply, ensuring a better outcome for everyone.

We pride ourselves in our expertise in construction law, our high-quality work and our fast turnaround times. 

We do what we do because we truly gain satisfaction from helping people redress the power imbalance between themselves and the companies they deal with.  

Being a boutique law firm, we provide our top tier services at affordable rates and we place a strong emphasis on client satisfaction. 

And we're proud to say that we've been recognised as " Best Emerging Residential Construction Law Firm 2025 - Australia" and made the lists of top 10 construction law firms in both Sydney and Melbourne.

We're also a member of the Law Society NSW Professional Standards Scheme, meaning we guarantee you high quality legal services.
