Commercial Contracts
Commercial contracts serve as the cornerstone for non-residential building projects for Sydney and its surrounding areas. These documents outline specific agreements between parties, including their contractual obligations and the scope of works. They are crucial for business projects, especially in construction.

- Time and Materials Contract: Billing is based on the actual cost of labour, materials, and equipment used.
Each type has its pros and cons, and choosing the right one for your project is vital. A specialised commercial construction lawyer can guide you through this selection process.
