Construction Lawyer Brisbane Services

Construction Lawyer Brisbane offers a range of services to help people with their construction related legal issues. We have helped resolve debt recovery and security for payment disputes, residential building litigation including QCAT proceedings, as well as commercial projects in need of review or variation by using our skillset, which only involves these types cases.

Non-Payments or Partial Payments

The following is a list of common situations that our law firm encounters when it comes to non-payments or partial payments:

  1. A homeowner engages a builder to carry out construction work.
  2. The builder performs the work and sends a claim for progress payment.
  3. The homeowner either denies the builder the payment or reduces payment of the builder’s claim for reasons such as:
    • the builder did not provide proof/evidence of completion of the works
    • the builder did not have the work approved, certified, or provide the owner with a copy of the certificate
    • the builder’s work is incomplete and is found to be defective

Builders are known for giving home owners the runaround, but there is a solution. Construction Lawyer Brisbane can help when there is incomplete work so that you’re not left footing the bill despite work that has not been completed as promised.

Court Work and Debt Recovery

If you are dealing with an unpaid bill for construction services, our experienced construction lawyer brisbane can help. We have experience of acting on behalf of homeowners; contractors or subcontractors who are owed money by a former contractor when they went bankrupt without paying their debts. In addition to preparing legal claims against them which is often necessary if the original invoice was never paid directly out-of court settlement offers may also be made depending upon each situation’s specifics

Adjudication

Building disputes can be overwhelming, but it is important to remember that there are other options. One of them being Adjudication – the legal process for resolving these cases without going through costly court proceedings. With Construction Lawyer Brisbane on your side, you’ll have no problem navigating this challenging terrain and getting what’s rightfully yours in return.

Our specialist construction lawyer has knowledge throughout every step which will help guide you through your dispute resolution smoothly with little stress.

Building Disputes

You can relax as we work with your building dispute. We will help you to resolve legal issues about:

  • residential and commercial buildings disputes;
  • payment disputes or variations in service agreements that were not honored by either party’ s contractor (or supplier);
  • QCAT proceedings where someone has lodged a complaint against another person who may have committed fraud/scamming behaviour during contract negotiations.

Contract Review

Construction contracts can be tough to read, especially if you are not familiar with them. A good construction lawyer should always have experience in reviewing these documents so that they can help their clients avoid pitfalls.

A lot goes into each contract from details about payments or deadlines- make sure those things suit your needs by consulting an expert like us at Construction Lawyer Brisbane.

If you are currently in a situation, let’s talk

The stress of not knowing what to expect from a building and construction dispute can be overwhelming. You need an experienced builder or subcontractor who is looking out for your best interests, which I am here ready to do all that they may require in order to ensure success.

The uncertainty around these types of disputes often brings unnecessary worry along with it- costing people valuable time spent on worrying when there isn’t anything else worth focusing attention too; but as long as we have someone like myself fighting hard by putting together strong arguments based off years’ worth knowledge regarding construction law.
