A written building contract is often required by law and is essential for protecting everyone involved in a project. Our building lawyers prepare clear, user-friendly contract templates that comply with Australian and state-based legislation, including:
Our templates range from straightforward domestic building contracts through to bespoke commercial head contracts, subcontracts, design and construct agreements, consultancy agreements, and supply contracts. We tailor each document to your business model, project pipeline, and risk appetite.
Where you operate under principal-issued contracts such as AS 4000, AS 4902, AS 4905, GC21, or PC1, we can also prepare standard amendment schedules so your position remains consistent from project to project.
Before we negotiate anything, we take the time to understand your commercial position, project risk profile, scope of works, and program. That up-front investment means our negotiation strategy is targeted: we protect what matters most to your project while preserving the working relationship with the principal or head contractor.
Our construction lawyers identify the clauses that genuinely shift risk, including:
We deliver contract markups, schedules of departures, side letters, and negotiation playbooks, and where the matter warrants it, we lead negotiations directly with the other side and their legal team.
Cash flow is the lifeblood of every construction business. If money is owed to you, the right strategy depends on the size of the debt, the strength of your contractual position, and the realistic prospects of recovery.
We advise on claims under the Security of Payment Acts in every Australian jurisdiction, including:
On the defence side, our construction lawyers help respondents resist unjustified payment claims, contest jurisdictional facts, and challenge determinations through judicial review where appropriate.
A construction dispute can stall programs, trigger funding issues, sour key relationships, and escalate costs quickly if it isn’t managed early and well. We develop dispute resolution strategies tailored to the status of your project, the terms of your contract, and the relevant legislation.
Our construction dispute lawyers act on:
We run matters through contractual dispute resolution procedures, expert determination, mediation, adjudication, arbitration, and litigation in state and federal courts and specialist tribunals.
