    Is it necessary to have a building lawyer to review builder's contract?

    If so, can you please recommend a good building lawyer in Melbourne?

    Thanks.

    Is it a HIA contract? These tend to be fairly standard and you're reasonably well protected unless they've put a bunch on special conditions in there.

    Getting legal advice is always best practice of course:

    Phillips & Wilkins Solcitiors
    03 9480 1155

    They have specialist property lawyers. I think William Elder might be one of the guys to talk to.

    Nick Carsteine CAC legal gets my vote. Located in the CBD if that helps.

    Property lawyers (conveyancing & land law) are different to those who do construction contracts.

    Colin Biggers & Paisley are construction lawyers.
