Building Contracts

You are here: Home / Expertise / Building Contracts

Facilitate exceptional project management with expertly drafted building contracts.

Kylie Howell, the head of our construction team, is a firm believer that a well drafted contract can truly assist in the successful completion of any construction project. In an industry traditionally built on relationships a good contract will build on that and set the boundaries within which the various participants agree to operate.

A good contract will ensure all parties are clear – right from the start of a project – about what it is they need to do and will set out a framework for the resolution of any issues that might arise. As an added bonus it will also ensure you comply with the relevant contractual provisions of the Queensland Building and Construction Commission Act 1991 (Qld).

On the flip side, a poorly drafted contract can result in increased disputes, building delays and cost over runs.

Our expert lawyers understand the construction process and will ensure that you and your business are provided with a tailored contract that meets your needs and budget. We can also advise clients on any construction contracts before they are signed.

We have extensive expertise in drafting and reviewing bespoke:

  • Commercial building contracts (both construct only and design & construct)
  • Domestic building contracts
  • Subcontracts
  • Consultancy contracts
  • Supplier contracts

We can also provide advice in relation to various standard form contracts commonly used within the industry including:

  • QBCC contracts
  • Master Builders contracts
  • ABIA Contracts
  • Australian Standard Contracts
  • HIA Contracts

If you would like a construction contract drafted or would like some advice before signing a construction contract, contact one of our construction lawyers for further information or advice.
