A commercial building contract dispute will be decided by SAT or a court.
Examples of such disputes can be between a builder and contractor, between two contractors, between a commercial builder and the developer or about a contract relating to a large-scale building project, such as apartments or a commercial building.
When a dispute arises on a building project it can be a costly exercise for all involved. The sooner the dispute gets resolved, the better.
We appreciate the disruption a building and construction dispute can bring. We can give you practical advice to help sort the dispute out as soon as possible. We also give advice to builders and contractors about standard terms and conditions to help avoid disputes in the future.
There are often ways to resolve a matter with early intervention and lawyers can move that process along. In other circumstances, there can be strict time limits with which you may need to comply.
Disputes can often be resolved in negotiations without the need for legal proceedings or mediation. Where possible, our building dispute lawyers will assist clients to reach an amicable resolution without pursuing litigation as the only option. We work with experienced barristers which we brief as necessary.
