Construction Contracts and Administration

Whether you’re a developer, builder, subcontractor or a home-owner, getting your construction contract right is crucial for safeguarding your interests and ensuring a successful build. Almost all of the disputes that we see in the construction space arise because of a one-sided or poorly drafted contract. But there are simple ways to avoid this…

A Well Drafted Contract

There is no one size fits all construction contract. Construction contracts can take many forms and range from one page to thousands of pages. It can be hard to navigate which contract is right for the type of construction work you are undertaking. Our team is here to assist you in creating clear, well- defined contracts that minimise your risk and allocate responsibilities effectively. It is essential that your contract terms are specific to the circumstances of your build. Prevention through solid contract creation is always more effective than dealing with issues later on.

A Comprehensive Contract Review

Before entering into a contract, it is important that you know exactly what you are getting yourself into. We can carefully review your contract, highlight key risks and identify terms you should watch out for. By fully understanding your rights, obligations, and responsibilities, you can avoid unpleasant surprises during construction. Our team helps you stay ahead of potential issues and ensures you are prepared to tackle them before they escalate.

Implement Appropriate Administration Processes

A well-written contract is not enough on its own, it needs to be carefully administered throughout the build. Effective contract administration is essential to guarantee the success of your build. Our team has a deep understanding of industry standards and legal requirements, which is why it is advantageous to have us involved throughout the build. Let us handle the complex details of contract management for you, ensuring that all terms and conditions are met and the build progresses smoothly, on time and within budget.
