Having private building work done is a significant investment for most people. Projects will often be a part of significant home renovations and therefore when something goes wrong (as it inevitably does sometimes) it's vital to act quickly to stop the situation escalating.
Seeking sound legal advice about your particular situation as a priority is a solid first step to take towards dispute resolution. Oratto member breach of contract lawyers have all the experience and skill needed to advise on your dispute.
Verbal contracts are contracts all the same
Many people assume that unless a written contract exists then there is no formal agreement in place and breach of contract sanctions will not apply. Whilst a written contract is the ideal, a verbal agreement is just as binding as a written one and you can still pursue the building company if a dispute arises.
Common breach of contract problems include:
- not completing the agreed work to an acceptable standard
- falling weeks or months behind the agreed work schedule
- asking for further funds in order to complete the job
