recently used McAndrews Law for the settlement of my house in North Brisbane, and I couldn’t be happier with the service. From start to finish, the team was incredibly professional and efficient. A special mention to Robyn, the paralegal, who was absolutely outstanding—her communication was clear, timely, and reassuring throughout the entire process. She handled every detail with precision and care. Joel and the team made everything smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend McAndrews Law for anyone needing legal support with their next real estate or land transaction. Top-notch service!

Our experience with McAndrew Law has been the best in our conveyancing history. Robyn and the team were incredibly professional, thorough, and swift in all areas of our recent sale, making the whole process as painless as possible. We’re grateful for their expertise, and found the cost of services to be very reasonable. We would use McAndrew Law again for any future conveyancing needs.

What Is a Building Contract Review and Why It Matters

A building contract is more than just paperwork – it’s the rulebook for your entire build. The problem is, most contracts are drafted to protect the builder, not you. Without an expert review, you risk signing an agreement that hides unfair clauses, allows costly variations, or leaves you exposed if things go wrong.

That’s where we come in. We go beyond simply “checking the fine print” – we explain what each term means for you in real life, and how it could impact your budget, timeline, and peace of mind. Our goal is to make sure your contract is fair, balanced, and reflects the deal you actually agreed to.

Why should I get my building contract reviewed before signing?

In Queensland, you need a written contract if you’re carrying out domestic building work priced over $3,300 including labour, materials and GST. Most of these contracts are drafted to protect the builder – not you.

A legal review helps identify unfair clauses, hidden costs, and risks that could lead to disputes, delays, or budget blowouts. 

How long does a building contract review take?

In most cases, we can complete your review within 2–3 business days. If your build is urgent, we can often provide an expedited service.
