Building and construction disputes commonly occur when there is a disagreement over pricing, a variation or change in the scope of works, defective or poor workmanship, compliance issues or delays in the scheduled building timeline.

NSW Fair Trading provides information on the steps that should be taken in the event of a building or construction dispute. This information can be accessed at the following links:

The NSW Government has published a document called the NSW Guide to Standard and Tolerances 2017 (The Guide). Any building work that does not meet these standards could be considered defective. The Guide can be accessed at the following link New South Wales Guide to Standards and Tolerances 2017 (nsw.gov.au).
