Construction Contracts: Protect Your Legal Rights as a Homeowner in Sydney

When undertaking a construction project for your home, it's essential to have a legally binding agreement in place with your builder or contractor. A construction contract outlines the scope of work, timeline, and payment terms, among other important details. This contract not only ensures that everyone is on the same page but also serves as protection for you as the homeowner.

We work closely with our clients to ensure that their legal rights are protected throughout the project.
Some common legal issues that homeowners may face during a construction project include:

1. Disputes over scope of work: A well-drafted construction contract should outline the specific work that is to be completed, including any changes or additions. If there are disagreements over the scope of work, a contract can provide a clear basis for resolving these disputes.
2. Delays: Construction projects can often take longer than expected, which can be frustrating for homeowners. A contract can outline a timeline for completion and provide remedies if there are delays.
3. Payment disputes: Payment terms should be clearly outlined in a construction contract, including when payments are due and how much they will be. If there are disputes over payment, a contract can provide a basis for resolving these disputes.
4. Quality of work: Homeowners have the right to expect that the work performed on their home is of good quality. A contract can include provisions for ensuring that the work meets certain standards and that any defects are addressed.
