For Home Builders
I came.
I built.
They changed their minds.
Are you a residential builder? You like doing renos? New builds? Repairs? You lucky devil.
It can be nice spending your day in the leafy suburbs while everyone is slaving away in the CBD and eating lunch at their desk. But any experienced residential builder knows things don’t always go according to plan with your clients.
When your home building project hits a snag, we can help you get back on track.

The Tribunal (NCAT) can be tough on builders.
But adjudication can be even tougher on homeowners.
You’ll want to be prepared for any battles at NCAT and also make sure you’re prepared to tackle payment issues with adjudication.
How can Lauderdale help you resolve your dispute? Let’s take a look in our toolbox, shall we?
Did you know, thanks to recent changes in regulations, you can now take homeowners to adjudication? Now, if they ignore your invoice, you can bet they’ll be speaking to their lawyer. But this time they’ll be yelling, “What do you mean I’ve got a judgment against me?”
You probably know that dodgy construction companies often ignore letters of demand.However, you may be surprised about how well they work on a homeowner. Especially one who is mortgaged to the hilt and “forgot” to give you a payment schedule.
A lot of builders get the short end of the stick when it comes to NCAT. Usually because their client shows up to the hearing armed with an expert report and a colour-tabbed document drafted by their solicitor.
Let Lauderdale prepare your own documents to show your side of the story. And while we’re at it, let’s see if we can take them to adjudication at the same time. That will make them sit up and listen!
If your dispute ends up in court litigation, we have heavy hitters ready to go. Think of us as hired guns. We will stand up for your rights and enforce your contract.
