Construction Lawyers Brisbane

Our clients choose our services because of our first-hand construction expertise as engineers, quantity surveyors, and contract managers (we are MCIBSE, C Eng, MRICS, MAIPM). We are also QBCC Adjudicators and regularly represent clients in disputes under the Building Industry Fairness (Security of Payment) Act - you can count on our extensive knowledge of the law. These credentials guarantee that we will fully understand your situation, develop your cost or delay claim in-house, and select the most appropriate legal approach and strategy to deliver results quickly and efficiently. 

With our extensive engineering expertise and on-site construction experience, we possess the ability to interpret, analyse, and offer contract recommendations in various domains such as rights, liabilities, duties, and scope, specifically tailored to Australian Standard Contracts (AS4000 and AS2124 Series), Australian Building Industry Contracts (ABIC), Master Builders Association (MBA), Security of Payments Act compliance, as well as FIDIC, JCT, and NEC4 standard contracts.

We conduct comprehensive contract analyses to identify and evaluate the key terms and conditions within the contract. In this process, we thoroughly review the drawings, technical specifications, and site records to ascertain the cause, effect, and merit of any claim.

As part of our comprehensive range of services, we offer in-house planning and scheduling expertise. In situations where delays occur, we conduct a thorough analysis of the baseline schedule and progress updates. This analysis allows us to develop prospective and retrospective windows and perform time-impact analyses to assess the impact of the delays.

It is widely recognized that incomplete project planning, inadequate schedule tracking, and poor contract and financial control are often at the root of troubled projects plagued by delays and cost overruns.

We specialize in helping developers identify suitable partners, leading to the formation of successful joint ventures through teaming agreements. We understand the importance of finding the right collaborators to achieve project success.

Fast-track projects often result in a significant number of defects, some of which may be deeply rooted underground, making rectification extremely challenging.
