Speak with ABS about practical building consultancy and technical support.
Building consultancy provides practical, technical and project-based advice about construction work. It can assist with project management, construction sequencing, quality, defects, compliance, rectification and dispute-related building issues.
Glen Sim can assist builders and contractors with project planning, construction scheduling, technical discussions, quality concerns, defect investigations, contract-administration issues and practical options for resolving problems before they become more costly.
Often, early technical advice can help clarify what has happened, what evidence is available, what work may be required and how the parties can communicate a practical way forward. It does not replace legal advice, but it can help the technical issues be understood earlier.
Yes. Through Awesim Building Consultants, Glen can provide technical advice, building inspections, expert witness reports and Scott Schedules for matters that may proceed to NCAT or other legal forums. The appropriate report depends on the dispute, evidence and procedural requirements.
Useful information may include the address, plans, contracts, specifications, photographs, correspondence, inspection reports, notices, invoices, timelines and the specific question you need answered. Do not delay contacting us if evidence may be lost or building work is continuing.
