Building and Construction

Litigation and Mediation in QCAT,District & Supreme Court

We act for Builders, Home Owners and Body Corporates. We specialise in building disputes and reviews of QBSA decisions about discipline, insurance, licensing, and rectification of defects.

Building disputes can be particularly complex: there are the legal issues, the technical building issues and the emotional issues.

Conflict can arise over the building period, quality of work, inclusions, variations, progress payments and council certifications.

Builders can easily find themselves involved in disputes with clients and disagreements with the BSA which lead to hearings concerning large amounts of money or reviews of a BSA decisions in QCAT.

Lawyers Qld is uniquely equipped to help you with this type of problem because we are a Law Firm dedicated to acting for clients involved in a building dispute. The firm has represented many clients in QCAT as the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal is known and its' predecessor the Queensland Commercial and Consumer Tribunal or CCT.
