Building and construction law disputes can be lengthy and costly affairs. Many issues which are often encountered might also be related to areas of law not necessarily connected to building and construction claims. Most of the allegations of misconduct or claimed breaches of contracts can be traced to matters arising from progress payments, defective work, poor quality services and the such. However, there may be other avenues which a commercial litigation lawyer can explore which will assist in the securing of a client’s rights.

The Home Building Act and the Home Building Regulations contain various provisions relating to the conduct and progress of building and construction matters. A competent civil litigation solicitor will be able to locate other causes of action that can be found in the broader area of contract law. Investigating issues in these areas may disclose alternative ways to manage or prosecute a case.

A civil litigation lawyer can assist in conducting the necessary research and pre-trial preparation for any matter, whether it is complex or not, and whether it is for a plaintiff or a defendant.  Not only will a commercial litigation Solicitor be equipped with knowledge of building and construction law, but generally commercial litigation lawyers deal with legal matters across a broad spectrum of legal practice areas. Commercial disputes may also cross over with related disputes in the civil area.

Torts, trespass, industrial relations are all areas of law which may also contribute to the development of a case and the preparation for a robust claim or counter-claim. Misleading and deceptive conduct, implied obligations in contracts which go to unconscionability or reasonableness are further issues which may require exploration. A building and construction law firm which has a host of resources available to it from across a wide spectrum of other practice areas will be in the best position to investigate, prepare and deal with building and construction disputes and their related matters.

For further details about building and construction law matters, please see our section dedicated to “Building & Construction Law”.  Further information can be obtained from there in preparation for a preliminary conference with one of our building and construction solicitors.
