Building & Construction Disputes

At Rockliff Snelgrove Lawyers in Sydney, we understand that every building and construction matter and dispute is unique, each with its own considerations and facts that need to be properly identified and assessed to provide proper and effective legal advice to our clients. Our extensive experience in representing companies or individuals in building and construction disputes allows us to provide you with a practical and tailored resolution to your building and construction dispute.

Over the years we have dealt with all forms of building and construction disputes ranging from quantum meruit claims for works where there is no contract to breach of contract claims in the Supreme Court.

Whether you are a first-home buyer and having a dispute with your builder for defective building work or a sub-contractor that is trying to recover money from a builder, we can advise you and represent you when you need it most.

We understand that these disputes can be stressful to all parties involved and we aim to facilitate the process for you to allow you to focus on your business and cash flow.
