Construction Law

We provide expert legal advice on construction law, supporting developers, builders, contractors, property owners, and investors across Waikato and New Zealand. Our Construction Law team is experienced in guiding clients through every stage of construction projects, from contract negotiation and risk management to dispute resolution and compliance.

Construction law in New Zealand involves complex contractual, regulatory, and commercial considerations. We assist clients with drafting and reviewing construction contracts, including NZS 3910, NZS 3916, and bespoke agreements for residential, commercial, and infrastructure developments. Our lawyers provide clear advice on risk allocation, payment terms, variations, warranties, and compliance with the Construction Contracts Act and Building Act.

We also support clients with project management issues, resource consents, health and safety compliance, and resolving disputes that may arise during construction. Our team is skilled in negotiation, mediation, and litigation, helping you avoid costly delays and keep your project on track.

McCaw Lewis is committed to delivering practical, strategic advice that empowers you to make informed decisions throughout the construction process. We work collaboratively with other specialist teams within the firm to offer comprehensive support for all your property and commercial law needs, including asset protection, financing, and environmental compliance.
