Liability Matters

Understanding Builder Liability

Builder liability is a critical issue that can have lasting legal and financial consequences for homeowners and developers alike. In Canberra and Queanbeyan, construction projects are subject to strict regulations and standards under the Building Act and local planning laws. If a builder fails to meet these requirements—whether through substandard workmanship, code violations, or non-compliance with approved plans—homeowners may face costly rectification work or legal action. Cebis helps clients navigate these challenges by offering expert insight into liability risks and how to manage them effectively.
