building & construction

Navigating construction projects in Queensland can be legally complex, with challenges ranging from regulatory compliance to contract and payment disputes. At New Era Lawyers, we help developers, builders, contractors and suppliers manage legal risks and ensure successful project completion.

We provide support at every stage of a project, from contract advice and negotiation to dispute resolution and enforcement. Our expertise covers resolving disagreements over contract interpretation, scope of work and variations, delays, defects, negligence claims and payment issues. Whether you’re facing unexpected project issues or disagreements over contract terms, we provide strategic advice to safeguard your position and contractual entitlements.

We understand that payment disputes can place a significant strain on your business, jeopardising cash flow and making it harder to meet project obligations. Our team has a strong history of successfully enforcing clients’ rights under Queensland’s security of payment laws, ensuring they recover what they’re owed. We assist with payment claims and schedules, adjudication applications and responses, subcontractors’ charges and enforcement actions – helping clients achieve the outcomes they deserve.

We prioritise resolving disputes through negotiation, mediation and adjudication when it leads to the most effective and beneficial outcomes, leveraging our proven track record of success. When litigation becomes necessary, we provide determined representation, focused on achieving a successful outcome.
