Residential Building Contracts
Building a new home is stressful and can become your biggest nightmare: from finding a suitable builder to signing a contract, every step of the way is paved with potential pitfalls. We are here to help.
Domestic Building contracts are regulated in part with Schedule 1B of the QBCC Act. Antony was instrumental in the coming into existence of what we today know as the QBCC. This provides you with a terrific competitive advantage in navigating the very complex world of building regulations, builder due diligence, contract reviews, directions to rectify, dispute resolution, to name but a few.
Having acted for Master Builders and HIA members over the last 20 years we can advice on the need for special conditions to be applied to industry standard contracts.
We are here to support you throughout the building process with the administration of your build. This is particularly important when working to a budget and even more so when the possibility of contract termination arises (because improperly terminating contracts has devastating consequences).
Working in conjunction with you and the QBCC at necessary times will see you through your build with the minimum of fuss and heartache.

We were referred to Antony by a colleague to advise us on our building contract. Antony was professional, personable, and thorough.
Our consultation was very educational. He walked us through the parties obligations and made our obligations easy to understand. He went above and beyond. As we are new to the building industry, he provided an in-depth knowledge and insight into realistic and practical expectations that will carry us through many stages of our first home build.
I highly recommend contacting Antony for your building and construction legal enquires, particularly before putting ink to paper!
