Building & Construction Law

At Snelgroves we can assist you with all aspects of building or renovating, whether you are a home owner or a builder, whether you are about to enter into a contract or maybe the contract has not ended the way it was initially intended ...

Snelgrove’s building and construction lawyers are industry experts with years of experience handling commercial, industrial, rural and domestic building disputes.

Our clients include builders, property developers, project managers, independent contractors and sub-contractors, building owners, property consultants, surveyors, architects and engineers among others.

We work closely with architects and claims consultants to speed up the resolution process and can offer assistance with:
  • Pre-contractual drafting and contract review
  • Payment claims and debt recovery
  • Dispute resolution and/or Court appearances including litigation
  • Body corporate advice
  • Joint venture negotiation
  • Professional liability claims / insurance claims
  • Assistance interpreting and acting on the Home Building Act 1989
  • Risk management and building protection works
Security of Payment Act

Sometimes it is necessary to make use of the Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 1999 during the course of building works. On many occasions we assist clients in lodging an application for adjudication under the Act, and for others draft a response in answer to a claim made. If you find yourself in a position where you need assistance in this area, let us provide our expertise to have the claim finalised as quickly and professionally as possible.

Snelgrove's can assist you with the entire building and construction process - from buying and selling property to settling disputes upon project completion.

Contact us to arrange a consultation with one of our qualified and committed solicitors.


"I have known Mr Peter Snelgrove for approximately 25 years.

In that time I have grown to appreciate the value of good, reliable, professional and responsible advice.

During this long association Peter has acted for me personally and for the various businesses that I have controlled whether he has been in past partnerships and more recently since 1999 within his own practice.

He has always displayed a level of expertise and dedication to achieving the best possible result for his client in a manner that is rarely found in today's difficult business environment.

- Emanuel (Manny) Tabone, CEO/Managing Director, Axis Building Group
