Defective works can significantly impact the structural integrity and value of your property. Our experienced team will help you assess the scope of the defects, liaise with experts, and pursue claims against builders who have failed to meet their contractual obligations. We are adept at negotiating settlements and, where necessary, representing you in tribunal or court proceedings.

Our construction legal services can help Perth homeowners resolve various defective building disputes, including:

• structural defects

Unforeseen price increases and unjustified time extensions can strain a building project, often leaving homeowners vulnerable to additional costs and delays. Our building and construction lawyers in Perth provide strategic advice to challenge invalid variations and ensure that any contract modifications are lawful and justified. Our goal is to help you avoid unnecessary expenses and ensure timely project completion.

Delays in construction projects can lead to significant financial losses, including temporary accommodation costs and lost rental income. We can assist you in seeking compensation for builder delays that have resulted in hardship. Our team will thoroughly review your building contract and identify any breaches to pursue a fair resolution on your behalf.

All new home builds begin with optimism and excitement. It can be devastating when things go pear-shaped and a dispute arises between an owner and their builder.

When a dispute cannot be resolved informally, a building complaint may be made to the Building Commissioner. Some disputes ultimately proceed to the State Administrative Tribunal (SAT). This process can be intimidating and confusing for homeowners.

We provide legal advice and representation throughout the building complaints process and in SAT proceedings, with a focus on resolving disputes in a timely and cost-effective manner.
