Construction contracts play a vital role in the construction industry in Sydney. This important piece of document outlines the scope of work, risks, duties, and legal rights of both the contractor and the owner. With a properly written construction contract, the success of a building project is most likely to happen.
In Sydney, Australia, the construction industry is at its peak. Its multibillion-dollar infrastructure projects employ millions of people across the country. With Australia’s booming construction industry, important elements in building projects such as construction contracts are a must to protect and enforce the rights of millions of construction employees and construction service providers, as well as homeowners and other stakeholders.
Construction can be such a big investment. Well-crafted construction contracts can help protect the rights of the parties involved. A construction lawyer can help guide clients by reviewing and drafting different types of contracts for them. A good construction lawyer knows that a well-written contract can help protect clients when it comes to building disputes and other legal issues that may happen.
How a specialist building and construction lawyer can help with your building dispute
Review, draft, negotiate, and enforce construction contracts for homeowners, builders, contractors, developers, and suppliers.
A construction contract contains the detailed agreement of the contractor and the homeowner. It comprises the job descriptions of both parties – scope of work, duties, and responsibilities – their legal rights, the dangers and risks that can be encountered along the building process, and in some contracts, variations and insurance are included. A construction contract is also known as a building contract.
It is also important to note that a construction contract must always be:
Construction contracts vary depending on the construction service provider or construction organisations whose aim is to aid people, particularly homeowners, in drafting and reviewing their building contracts.
Contracts Specialist offers services to help small to medium-sized construction service providers and homeowners with concerns regarding construction contracts.
To make sure that homeowners, builders and contractors alike are working towards the same direction and the same goal
A home building contract is an agreement containing all the work that should be performed for the construction of a residential building.

We are experienced with NSW building contracts and know when to use them and what you should include in them.
Whether you are the owner or the builder, we can translate your standard construction contract in terms you would understand, and let you know just what should be happening at each stage, or draft conditions to protect your interests.
A commercial contract is an agreement containing all the work that should be performed for the construction of a commercial building or non-residential building.
A skillfully constructed construction contract can protect your interests, minimise risks, and increase profitability. As a specialist building and construction law firm, Contracts Specialists can prepare and review commercial contracts for you. We will work with you to detect, assess, and avoid legal issues before they arise.

A Subcontractor Agreement between a builder/contractor and subcontractor outlines the perimeters of specialist work to be done for the construction project.
As specialist building and construction lawyers, we can help you review or craft subcontract agreements, as well as other standard construction contracts, to ensure that they will have your best interest in mind.
Under a Lump Sum building contract, a “fixed price” for the work to be done is agreed upon by the client and contractor before the work begins. This contract can also be applied to both Home Building and Commercial Contracts.
A Lump Sum construction contract can be more of a risk to the contractor as there are fewer mechanisms to allow them to vary their price. Contracts Specialists can help you determine if a Lump Sum contract will be beneficial to you, and we can also advice you on construction contract provisions you can include.
As a specialist construction law firm, we have the experience and expertise to advice you on a range of legal matters including choice of contracts, contract interpretation, and advice on specific contract provisions.
A Cost Plus Contract states that a client agrees to reimburse a construction company for building expenses such as labour, materials, and other costs, plus additional payment usually stated as a percentage of the contract’s full price.
This type of construction contract is an alternative to Lump Sum agreements. It allows flexibility and transparency for the homeowner, and reduces the risk for a contractor since a Cost Plus construction contract guarantees them a profit. This can also be applied to Home Building and Commercial contracts.
In a Cost Plus Contract, the homeowner has the right to see exactly what the expenses are. Some Cost Plus contracts also state a guaranteed maximum price.
