Building and Construction Law

The ever-growing construction industry in Australia has become a staple to the economy. 

 

Given the complexities, intricacies and risks associated with construction projects, together with the significant amount of work and money involved in them, irrespective of whether they are large or small, a number of legal issues are likely to arise. The issues that commonly arise are defects, incomplete works, delays and payment disputes.
