What is a Building Dispute?
A building dispute encompasses conflicts and disagreements that arise during the progress of a construction project, whether it is residential or commercial in nature. Such disputes commonly occur when one or more parties involved in the project fail to fulfil their contractual obligations. Issues may arise from various aspects of the construction process, including design flaws, delays, substandard workmanship, cost overruns, breach of contract, or disagreements over variations. Resolving these disputes often requires legal intervention and the expertise of a skilled building dispute lawyer to ensure a fair and satisfactory resolution for all parties involved.
Our Services
At our construction law firm, we provide comprehensive legal services to assist clients in resolving a wide range of building and construction disputes. Our experienced team of construction lawyers is well-versed in handling various types of disputes, including residential building disputes, commercial building disputes, payment disputes, variations, delays, defects, and contract termination. We are committed to protecting your rights and achieving a favourable outcome for your case.
Residential Building Disputes
Our construction law firm specialises in handling residential building disputes, encompassing construction projects such as new home construction, renovations, and alterations. We have extensive experience in navigating the complexities of these disputes and can assist you in resolving issues related to construction defects, delays, contract breaches, and more.
Commercial Building Disputes
Payment Disputes and Variations
Payment disputes and variations often arise during construction projects. Our team is skilled in addressing disputes related to variations in the scope of works, improper procedures for requesting additional payment, and disagreements over budget expectations. We will review your construction contract, assess the situation, and guide you through the necessary steps to resolve these disputes effectively.
NCAT (NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal) and Court
Depending on the nature and value of the building dispute, proceedings may be initiated in the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal (NCAT), the District Court of New South Wales, or the Supreme Court of New South Wales. Our construction dispute lawyers have a deep understanding of the tribunal and court processes. We can assist you in preparing applications, gathering evidence, and representing your interests in hearings to work towards a favourable resolution.
Contract Termination
In cases of contract breaches, our team will thoroughly assess the details of your legal situation. We will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of your options and help enforce your legal rights, including contract termination when necessary. Our goal is to protect your interests and guide you through the process with professionalism and expertise.
As experienced construction dispute lawyers, we are well-versed in alternative dispute resolution methods, including mediation and arbitration.
