Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to get a construction contract reviewed in Geelong?
Our flat fee is $49 with no hidden charges — you get a plain-English PDF report that walks you through the key issues clearly and quickly.
How long does the review take?
You'll receive your plain-English PDF report about 5 minutes after uploading your contract. The service runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so whether you're reviewing a contract on a Sunday night or early Monday morning before a site meeting, you won't be left waiting.
Are there specific Victoria laws that affect my construction contract?
Yes — the Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 2002 (VIC) gives contractors and subcontractors important rights to claim and recover progress payments, and those rights can be affected by the wording of your contract.
Is this legal advice?
No — our report is a plain-English review that explains what the contract says and flags clauses that may be worth negotiating or querying further. It is not legal advice and does not create a lawyer-client relationship.
