Defective Buildings

Defective buildings cause more than inconvenience—they can jeopardise health, safety, asset value, and commercial viability. We act decisively for property owners, developers, and bodies corporate in complex disputes involving design flaws, construction defects, and compliance failures.

Our team has experience across a broad range of claims, including leaky building litigation, structural failures and engineering defects, non-compliant fire, weather-tightness, or seismic performance, claims under the Building Act 2004, Fair Trading Act 1986, and common law, and multi-party litigation involving builders, developers, architects, and councils.


We are skilled in navigating expert evidence, insurance issues, and limitation periods—especially in high-value, multi-dwelling or commercial claims. We fight for accountability and full recovery, and we know when to settle and when to litigate.
