Construction and Build Contracts

We provide expert legal advice on construction and build contracts, supporting developers, builders, contractors, investors, and property owners across Waikato and New Zealand. Our Property and Commercial Law team is experienced in drafting, reviewing, and negotiating construction contracts to ensure your project runs smoothly and your interests are protected.

Construction and build contracts are essential for setting out the terms, responsibilities, and expectations of all parties involved in a building project. We assist clients with a wide range of agreements, including NZS 3910, NZS 3916, and bespoke contracts for residential, commercial, and infrastructure developments. Our lawyers advise on risk allocation, payment terms, variations, warranties, dispute resolution, and compliance with the Construction Contracts Act.

We also support clients with contract administration, project management issues, and resolving disputes that may arise during construction. Our team provides practical solutions for managing delays, defects, and claims, helping you avoid costly litigation and keep your project on track.

McCaw Lewis is committed to delivering clear, 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 dispute resolution, resource consents, financing, and asset protection.
