Building Contracts – Safeguarding Your Interests
Building Lawyer For Individuals & Families
Our Building Lawyers specialise in helping home buyers and families by meticulously reviewing, amending, and clarifying building and renovation contracts to ensure there are no nasty surprises. Some clients do not know that for domestic building or renovation work that costs $12,000 or more, there must be a written building contract (and builders’ indemnity insurance).
A good building contract not only sets out the scope of the project, the material specifications, costs and timelines, but it also contains provisions for how to handle changes to manage risks and help avoid disputes. If you need help understanding your building contract or are under pressure to accept a builder’s price increase or contract alterations, please reach out for a complimentary initial consultation. Our Lawyers are skilled in evaluating the fairness and legality of building contracts/contract changes and will act to protect your interests and investment.
