What is a Building Dispute?
A building dispute pertains to conflicts and disagreements that arise during construction projects, both residential and commercial. Common reasons for such disputes include parties failing to meet their contractual obligations, disputes over payment, variations, delays, defects, and issues related to contract termination. Resolving these disputes may involve legal complexities and require the expertise of a building dispute lawyer to ensure a fair and satisfactory resolution for all parties involved.

NCAT (NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal) and Court

Our firm is well-versed in tribunal and court proceedings, guiding you through the legal steps and striving for a favourable resolution.
