Are you looking to enter into a construction contract?

Construction & building contracts outline the legal agreement between parties involved in a construction project and can have serious consequences.

Many people overlook the seriousness of signing a contract, and later on find themselves in a dispute which can sometimes take months or even years to settle.

We at CGM & Partners are here to ensure that any contract matter you have, whether it’s reviewing a construction contract you are about to sign, or a dispute over a building agreement you need resolved, is done so with utmost professionalism and attention to detail to ensure you get the best outcome.

By ensuring that the contract is legally sound and can be enforced, and that the fine details of the contract are fair for the parties involved, we will ensure that you are entering the agreement with full knowledge and transparency of the terms that you are agreeing to.

If you are in a dispute over a construction contract, we provide advice and can help you to resolve the dispute in the most efficient way possible that will achieve your desired outcome, whether that’s mediation, arbitration or litigation.

We work for all parties in building & construction contracts for both commercial and residential projects.

Types of Building and Construction Contracts We Can Help With

Domestic Building Contracts

Domestic building contracts are vital agreements in the commercial or residential building process, covering renovations, extensions, and other home improvements.

These contracts define the obligations of both the contractor and homeowner, ensuring clarity and protection throughout the construction process. Without well-crafted construction contracts, there is a higher risk of building disputes and potential legal issues.

At CGM & Partners, our experienced construction lawyers specialise in all aspects of building and construction law. We ensure your domestic building contract meets all legal standards and addresses the unique challenges of your construction project.

Whether you need assistance with drafting, reviewing, or contract dispute resolution, we provide comprehensive support to protect your interests.

New Home Building Contracts

New home building contracts are essential in residential building projects, setting out the rights and responsibilities of both the contractor and homeowner.

These contracts are crucial for ensuring that the construction process adheres to legal standards and meets all agreed-upon specifications. In the absence of a clear home building contract, construction disputes can arise, potentially leading to costly delays and legal challenges.

CGM & Partners offers expert guidance in managing new home building contracts. Our building and construction lawyer specialises in drafting and reviewing these agreements, ensuring that every detail aligns with building and construction law.

We provide tailored legal services to help you navigate the complexities of the construction industry and ensure your project is completed successfully.

Commercial Contracts

Commercial contracts are a cornerstone of large-scale construction projects within the building and construction industry. These contracts cover everything from infrastructure developments to property projects, requiring precise drafting and negotiation to protect the interests of all involved parties.

In such complex projects, the need for robust construction contracts is paramount to avoid legal issues and contract disputes.

At CGM & Partners, our construction lawyers specialise in commercial construction contracts, offering expert legal support throughout the construction process. We ensure that all agreements comply with construction law and address the specific risks associated with large-scale projects.

Subcontract Agreements

Subcontract agreements are crucial for defining the roles, responsibilities, and payment terms for subcontractors within the construction industry. This subcontract agreement is vital to the smooth operation of a construction project, as it ensures that all parties understand their obligations and help prevent contract disputes.

Well-crafted construction contracts for subcontractors are essential to mitigate risks and ensure compliance with building and construction law.

At CGM & Partners, we provide tailored legal advice to ensure that these contracts protect subcontractors’ interests while complying with all relevant regulations. Whether you need assistance with contract creation or construction dispute resolution, our lawyers are here to support you.

Renovation, Extension, and Repair Contracts

Renovation, extension, and repair contracts play a critical role in residential building projects, ensuring that all parties understand their obligations and that the construction process adheres to building and construction law. These contracts must be carefully managed to prevent disputes and ensure that projects are completed to the agreed standards.

CGM & Partners specialises in providing legal support for renovation, extension, and repair contracts. Our construction lawyers are skilled in drafting and reviewing these contracts, ensuring they meet all legal requirements and protect your interests.

Natural Disaster Repairs Contracts

Natural disaster repair contracts are essential in the aftermath of floods, fires, and other catastrophic events. These contracts ensure that the reconstruction of damaged infrastructure adheres to legal standards and addresses the unique challenges posed by such events.

At CGM & Partners, our construction lawyers provide expert legal guidance in managing natural disaster repair contracts. Our lawyers specialise in drafting and reviewing these agreements, ensuring compliance with both local and national building and construction law.

We offer strategic legal support to help you rebuild with confidence, protecting your interests throughout the construction process.

Small Building Projects Contracts

Small building projects, though less complex, still require carefully crafted contracts to ensure compliance with building and construction law. These contracts are essential for defining the responsibilities of both the contractor and the client, helping to prevent disputes and ensure the smooth execution of the construction process.

At CGM & Partners, our experienced team provides legal advice on drafting, reviewing, and managing building contracts to ensure they meet all legal standards and address the specific needs of your project.

Lump Sum Contracts

Lump sum contracts are a preferred arrangement in the construction industry, offering financial clarity by setting a fixed price from the outset. These contracts are crucial for ensuring that all parties involved have a clear understanding of the project’s scope and budget, reducing the risk of disputes during the construction process.

CGM & Partners specialises in providing expert legal guidance on lump sum contracts within the building and construction industry. We will help you manage your project efficiently, safeguarding your legal and financial interests throughout the construction process.
