About Our Law Firm
Commercial Contracts
Commercial contracts are the linchpin of non-residential building projects for Burwood and its adjacent suburbs. They encapsulate specific agreements between parties, outlining contractual obligations and the scope of works, tailored for business ventures. These contracts come in various types, catering to diverse business needs. Common types include fixed-price contracts, where a fixed price is agreed upon for project completion, and cost-plus contracts, which entail reimbursement of project costs plus an agreed fee. Time and materials contracts, billed based on actual costs of labour, materials, and equipment, are also prevalent.
Each contract type carries its merits and demerits, necessitating a prudent choice aligned with your business requisites. Engaging a Commercial Construction Lawyer can illuminate the contract type most suited for your project, ensuring a comprehensive, legally binding agreement encompassing essential elements like project details, contract information, customer details, terms and conditions, scope of works, special conditions, insurances, and contract price. This meticulous approach to commercial contracts fortifies your interests, mitigating disputes or legal quandaries in your construction journey.
