Creswick Saal Lawyers acts for clients on both sides of a building contract, such as Developers, Contractors, Sub-contractors and property owners. Our experience in building and construction law ranges from large scale multi story developments through to dividing fence issues.
In many instances contracts contain a dispute resolution clause. We believe that a majority of matters can be resolved at the dispute resolution stage, which benefits all parties to the contract in both time and cost.
Both sides to a contract have rights and it is important that those rights are explained clearly and concisely. We specialise in providing pre-contractual advice to parties to a building contract so as they are not taken by surprise once the contract has been entered into and building works have commenced. Our experience indicates that many disputes arise out of parties not fully understanding the terms in the contract. In this regard pre-contractual advice can ensure that both parties know what they can expect from the contract which can reduce any delay and additional costs.
One added advantage that Creswick Saal Lawyers has in this area of law is that the Principal, Brett Saal, was an Electrician for over 10 years prior to practicing as a solicitor. Brett’s insight into the construction industry provides a distinct real world advantage for our clients.
Legislation can also assist and provide rights to a party to a contract such as the Queensland Building Services Authority Act 1991, Building and Construction Industry Payments Act 2004 and Building Act 1975 Sub Contractors Charges Act 1974.
