Construction & Infrastructure

The construction and infrastructure industries form a key sector in the Australian landscape, facing constant pressure from regulations, interested local and federal government bodies and affected stakeholders. The sector is projected to face steady growth until 2028, but the sector pressures will persist. The construction industry is dealing with stricter regulations under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (Cth), with psychosocial health and silica dust becoming new concerns, as well as changes to the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth).

Astris Law works with clients to manage the industry pressures, in order to stay compliant and in turn, focused on their enterprise. Through Astrons and Phronesis, we work with builders, property developers/planners and investors to manage risks and compliance effectively, whether through drafting tailored construction contracts or resolving disputes over project delays, or setting up policies and procedures for workplace health and safety, or managing contract breaches.
