Building Dispute Lawyers
Building or renovating a property can be stressful, especially if a domestic building dispute or issue arises between the parties involved. Disputes within the construction industry often occur because parties misunderstand their obligations and responsibilities of the building project under the written contract or verbal agreement. Common areas of building disputes relate to:
- Costs
- Variations or changes to the agreement (oral or written)
- The quality of the work does not meet the property owner’s expectations, or
- the work is faulty and requires rectification.
At Davoren Associates, we have vast experience in Building and Construction Dispute resolution and we can assist you as either a property owner or a builder/tradesman. Davoren Associates can advise on Building Contracts (oral or written) and what to do if a legal dispute arises.
If you are concerned with the quality of the work, or the work is not in accordance with your expectations, then you need to discuss your construction project with an experienced construction dispute lawyer.
Our team can advise you on a range of legal matters within the Building Industry such as variations or amendments to the building contract, payment claims defective building work and more.
