CONTRACT DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Construction contract dispute resolution
– finding solutions to avoid burning through cash!
Nobody likes getting into a blue with their builder, but if you stay in it's almost par for the course in construction – sooner or later it’s your turn to get stiffed.
Too many good subbies end up walking away wearing the raw end of the pineapple – only to get a snow job from slick lawyers.
The key ... staying on top of your contract game!

Not every fight can be settled over a handshake!
Sometimes, you need to bring in the big guns – like an adjudicator or the court.

About contract adjudication
All construction contract adjudications are conducted by an independent and qualified third-party adjudicator who reviews the information that you submit.
​
Adjudications are carried out from written submissions / arguments only, meaning:
-
you don’t need to turn up
-
there are no interviews or questions
The adjudication decision is binding and must be followed based on the rules and regulations in the state you are in.
​
Most disputes that go to adjudication get sorted within 30 days of filing the application – this means you get paid faster AND without burning through cash like other dispute resolution methods.
Going to court
There are times when the dispute needs to be resolved by the court and fancy lawyers are a must.
Legal proceedings can be a massive investment in your time and money. We’ve spent plenty of time in courtrooms and lawyers' offices, so we know how quickly costs can spiral out of control.

How we can help ...
You need someone in your corner who talks straight and knows the industry inside and out.
With nearly two decades spent working for builders, we’ve seen every trick in the book. We’re pros at settling disputes and finding solutions that work for everyone involved. We often act as the middleman between our clients and their legal teams.
​
Armed with our experience in construction, we understand drawings and how buildings are built. It's pointless to shell out cash for a lawyer to figure out roof drawings if the beef is really about the basement!
We can dig through the mountain of material that you have, and fish out the appropriate parts the lawyers need. This way, you can focus on what you do best while we make sure the lawyers have everything they need to win the fight.
Let us handle the headache, uncertainty, hours of paperwork and confusion of prepping applications so you can get back to doing what you do best—being the king of your trade.
​
So, if you’re in a bind or see one coming, contact us for some no-nonsense advice.
