"I was referred to David Grant when I received a QBCC Intention to Suspend Builder’s License Notice following a swag of complaints lodged by a disgruntled ex-employee. It came at a time when our company had several highly-geared projects underway and an interruption to the program would have proved catastrophic.

The circumstances were complicated but David came up with a very clever strategy which left the QBCC with no choice but to withdraw their allegations and close the file.

David Grant saved my license and my livelihood, there is no doubt about it.

I’ve since engaged David to represent me in several commercial dispute matters with excellent results and highly recommend Law Force"

"Out of the blue, QBCC approached us, claiming that we were selling a NCBP, making very vague references to building codes and national construction codes and threatening large fines. Due to the very vague nature of their accusations and the complexity of the documentation around the NCC and the QBCC act, it was basically impossible for us to get our head around it.

David Grant got his teeth into it and sorted the case out in our Favour, promptly."

"There have been contentious legal situations that have arisen in my career, where I have sought out the services of David Grant and Law Force.  I have found Law Forces’ services to be expert across a number of specialised litigation areas, but more importantly as a law firm they have a culture of being empathetic and to seek expedited resolution. 

In my experience many firms seek to engage with argument and escalation, where Law Force seek practical, strategic and expedited problem solving in an effort to minimise my costs. 

I can recommend Law Force as presenting practical and expert opinions and conflict resolution strategies to resolve potentially significant matters. I have only ever experienced positive outcomes in my dealings with David Grant and Law Force."

Non-Conforming Building Product (NCBP)?

About QBCC NCBP Regulations

The QBCC has the power to "audit" any building product to determine whether it complies with non-conforming building product (NCBP) laws, particularly whether the product was manufactured in compliance with regulations and Australian Standards, or supplied along with information required under a regulation or Australian Standard.
These laws place obligations and liability upon all on supply-chain participants, allowing the QBCC to target anyone involved in the manufacture and supply, or installation of the product.
While the most appropriate target of regulatory action for faulty manufacturing would be the manufacture, the laws allow the QBCC to bypass dealing with well financed opponents and instead target parties at the bottom of the supply chain who often do not have easy access to the manufacturing information.
To make matters worse, the QBCC will often commence regulatory action against a party by issuing a "preliminary view" containing a vague allegation of non-compliance, giving the person only 14 days to respond, threatening "If you do not respond, the QBCC will finalise its views and may take appropriate regulatory action without further reference to you."
The NCBP laws are very complicated and very broad in application, and allow for severe penalties.

If you receive a letter from the QBCC alleging that a product may be a non-confirming product and it considers you to be "a person in the chain of responsibility", you need to immediately seek legal advice from a lawyer experienced in QBCC non-confirming product disputes.

Our strategies are effective
and we get results.
