Building & Construction

Given the construction boom in Sydney at the moment, the volume and need for competent and reliable building and construction lawyers has never been more vital. Anybody who has ever been involved or had to manage the construction of a building or their home can attest to the legal complexities involved in building and construction.

Selecting the right building and construction lawyer is crucial in helping you understand the complex legal issues in building contracts and the law.

Building disputes

Building disputes can impact many aspects of the parties involved. Whether it be a homeowner who is waiting to move into their home, a sub-contractor who has not yet been paid, or a developer who has gone over budget and over time – building disputes can be costly, stressful, and not in the interests of all parties.

Having a reliable building and construction lawyer can not only minimise your risk and exposure, it can enhance the profitability of your next project.

An unresolved building dispute lingering over your company can significantly delay your project, reduce profitability and tighten your company’s cash flow.

Our experience

Over the years we have seen a number of individuals or companies who, because of poor legal representation (or lack of legal representation), have ended up in lengthy court battles over a range of building disputes which could have been avoided if they had approached lawyers at the early stages.

No matter how big or small your next construction project is, it is always a good idea to have an experienced lawyer to draft or review your building and construction contract and guide you through the laws and legal issues in construction.

At Rockliffs Lawyers our lawyers have years of experience handling commercial, industrial, rural and domestic building disputes.

Some of our clients include builders, property developers, project managers, independent contractors and sub-contractors, building owners, property consultants, surveyors, architects and engineers among others.

How can we help?

We can assist you with all your front end building and construction needs for both residential and commercial building work. Whether it’s providing you with timely and effective advice or assisting you in negotiating a building and construction contract, our experience allows you to devote your resources where it is needed most, whilst ensuring your rights are being looked after.

We work closely with architects and claims consultants to speed up the resolution process and can offer assistance with:

  • Pre-contractual drafting and contract review
  • Payment claims and debt recovery
  • Dispute resolution and/or Court appearances including litigation
  • Body corporate advice
  • Joint venture negotiation
  • Professional liability claims/insurance claims
  • Assistance interpreting and acting on the Home Building Act 1989
  • Risk management and building protection works

Our Sydney building and construction lawyers can assist you with the building and construction process – from buying and selling a property to settling disputes upon project completion.

This includes advice relating to the:

  • Home Building Act 1989 (NSW);
  • Home Building Regulation 1997 (NSW);
  • Building and Construction Industry Security for Payments Act;
  • Environmental Planning and Assessment Act & Regulation;
  • Competition and Consumer Act 2010;

Before you enter into your next construction project, contact us at Rockliffs Lawyers for a discussion with our team of lawyers to see what value we can bring to your next project.
