Services

You need the right advice before you sign a building contract, for any type of project, whether you’re a homeowner or contractor. What builders say and what the contract says are often different. Before you sign, it’s worthwhile consulting with us to make sure you avoid common pitfalls such as front-end loading, and contract types that are more favourable to one party over the other.

If you come to us after you have signed a contract, we will take the time to explain the pertinent clauses, what they mean for you, and workshop your options.

Litigation is always the last resort.
