Uncover hidden risks, eliminate uncertainty and prevent cost blowouts - before you’re locked in

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, Build Right Construction Lawyers will show you exactly where you stand, highlight any potential risks and help you understand your rights. It’s a simple step now that can save you significant money and stress down the line. 


We provide clarity, confidence and peace of mind, knowing your interests are properly protected.  


Don’t risk unwanted surprises, have your contract reviewed with us today and build with confidence.

Our Contract Review Service

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. 


Contract review & advice


We will perform for you a full legal review and issue advice about the proposed contract documents. That will include:

  • Builder background and compliance checks
  • Plain-English written advice
  • Clear risk summary
  • Table of proposed changes to make
  • A consultation with you, to run through our advice and recommendations
  • All for a fixed fee of $990 (incl. GST) - with no charge until we deliver you our advice


Negotiations with the builder on your behalf


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 you're ready to begin?


If you're not sure whether your contract is ready to be reviewed, give us a call or send it to us and we’ll let you know, free of charge.

What you get from us

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.
