Building & Construction

“Our Building & Construction barristers identify practical outcomes that align with the commercial realities of construction projects.”

Chris Chapman, Principal Barristers’ Clerk

Building and construction disputes are frequently document-heavy, technically complex and time-sensitive. They arise within a heavily regulated environment and often involve multiple parties, expert evidence and significant financial exposure.

Chapman’s List barristers practising in building and construction law act in:

  • Contractual disputes
  • Security of payment proceedings
  • Defect and delay claims
  • Professional negligence claims
  • Regulatory and disciplinary proceedings
  • Arbitrations and mediations
  • Urgent interlocutory and injunctive applications

 Barristers are briefed by firms acting for developers, builders, subcontractors, engineers, insurers and government authorities. Members regularly appear in the Supreme Court of Victoria, the County Court, VCAT and in domestic and international arbitrations.
