Get Australia's best residential building law firm to review your residential building contract

We will uncover hidden risks, avoid cost blowouts and check your builder's background - all for a fixed fee of $990

Most domestic building contracts favour the builder


Building a home is exciting. Yet most building contracts are written to protect the builder, rather than the homeowner. 


When things go wrong, homeowners are often left dealing with delays, cost variations, unexpected charges and disputes that feel impossible to challenge. 


We commonly see contracts that include:

  • Clauses allowing the builder to pass on cost increases during construction
  • Heavy reliance on provisional sums and prime cost items, which can blow out the contract price
  • Little or no consequences to the builder for delays
  • Poorly defined scopes of work that leads to disputes over variations 


For a fixed fee of $990, Build Right Construction Lawyers will review your contract, highlight any potential risks and unusual obligations, explain your rights and suggest the amendments required before you should sign. 


It’s a simple step now that can save you significant money and stress down the line. 


We have helped hundreds of homeowners in dealing with dozens of builders all around the country. By engaging us, you can benefit from our experience and proceed knowing that your legal and financial interests are properly protected.  


Don’t risk unwanted surprises, have us review your building contract today.

Free initial consultation


A 10-minute chat is all it takes for us to understand your situation and the legal support you will benefit from the most. 


Our contract review & advice package


A full legal review and advice about the proposed contract documents. 


That will include:

  • Builder background and compliance checks
  • Plain-English written advice
  • Clear explanation of your risks and obligations
  • Setting out what changes you should request
  • A consultation with you, to run through our advice and answer your questions


Our domestic building contract review and advice is for a fixed fee of $990 (incl. GST) - and we don't charge until after we deliver our advice.


Negotiations with the builder


If you would like further assistance, we will get the contract to the point where you are either happy to sign it, or decide not to proceed with that builder. 


That includes us doing the following

  • Negotiating with the builder on your behalf, to obtain terms and conditions that you are happy with.
  • Further consultations with you, as required


We will do that work for you at our hourly rates, with our total fee capped at 0.5% of your Contract Price (incl. GST) - no matter how much work is required. 


Unsure if your contract is ready to be reviewed?


Give us a call or simply send it to us, and we’ll let you know if your contract is ready to be reviewed - free of charge.

What our service provides

Contract Clarity

Save Money in the Long Run

Builder Accountability

We’ll advise you about your contract in plain English, so you know exactly what you’re agreeing to before you sign it. 


We'll identify your key risks, obligations, and exclusions that may otherwise have been overlooked. And then we'll help you negotiate with the builder before you sign. 

Builder Accountability

Save Money in the Long Run

Builder Accountability

A well-reviewed contract clearly defines your builder’s responsibilities, timelines and standards. This ensures your builder is held accountable, establishing a stronger contractual understanding from the outset and preventing disputes once building has commenced.
