Successful Defence of QCAT Building Dispute – Claim Withdrawn
Baker Merz Lawyers recently acted for a residential builder in a Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal (QCAT) building dispute concerning renovation works at a residential property in Teneriffe, Brisbane. The applicants had commenced proceedings alleging defective and incomplete work and sought substantial compensation for rectification costs, delays, and associated losses.
BuildConex provided quantum and technical analysis supporting the defence. The forensic examination of the claimed rectification costs demonstrated that the applicants' valuation was unsupported by the scope of work actually undertaken and the market rates applicable to the residential renovation context. The claim was ultimately withdrawn, avoiding a contested hearing and achieving a favourable commercial outcome for the builder client.
