EXPERT IR CONSULTANCY
Engaging in a commercial building works contract is a significant undertaking for any builder. While such contracts can lead to profitable projects and valuable business relationships, they also come with substantial risks.
Unlike domestic building contracts which are governed by the Domestic Building Contracts Act 1995 (Vic), commercial contracts are generally subject to fewer statutory protections and require careful negotiation and legal scrutiny.
From limited statutory protections to harsh contract terms, payment risks and knowing your contractors, once you sign that contract you are committed to a whole range of concerns not just bricks and mortar. A tightly drafted contract, accurate information and sound advice is vital to ensure your project runs trouble free, is on budget and on time.
“The building and construction industry has been characterised by difficult IR challenges for many years”
Industrial disputation remains a key risk for project construction work. Appropriate risk management at the front-end of projects makes IR management more effective at the back end.
