By the time a construction dispute reaches the lawyers, the paperwork is already telling the story.

Site instructions. Notices. Emails. Meeting notes. Program updates. Cost records.
They show what happened, when it happened and what everyone did next.

Good records make your position easier to explain and defend.

Poor records leave your team digging through old emails and trying to piece the story together months later.

Contractors, your job gets delayed.

What comes first?

A) Notice of Delay
B) Extension of Time
C) Variation
D) Delay Cost Claim

The answer is not always what contractors think.

Richard Zhang explains why the contract process matters before you send the wrong notice, claim the wrong thing, or send nothing at all.

Variation disputes often come down to whether the contractor followed the contract and kept the right records.

Ping’s experience is simple: good contract administration changes the outcome. It affects how much gets recovered and how hard the dispute becomes.

Level Playing Field Lawyers works with contractors on variation claims, adjudication applications, payment disputes and construction contract issues.

Think it’s subcontracting? Under the proposed changes, some arrangements will be treated as labour hire.

Victorian construction businesses supplying workers to other contractors will need to review whether their arrangements fall within the labour hire licensing regime.

If made in their current form, the new regulations commence on 29 October 2026, less than two months away.

Businesses affected by the changes should review their arrangements early, particularly where labour is being supplied as part of subcontracted works.

Need clarity on whether your arrangements are caught?

Notice of delay or extension of time?

They might sound similar, but treating them as the same thing could create a serious contract administration problem.

Richard Zhang explains the distinction and what contractors need to check before relying on either notice.
