I employed an architect when I was building my new house. I have since discovered that the builder departed from the drawings and the architect didn’t pick up on the departure. I now have to have that part of the house rebuilt. Do I have a claim for professional negligence against the architect?

To make a claim for professional negligence against the architect for a breach of duty of care you need to show that the architect was negligent in not detecting and correcting the builder’s departure from the plans and that this breach has resulted in damages to you.

The court will consider the appropriate level of the standard of care for the architect and our expert professional negligence lawyers at NSW Compensation Lawyers will ensure that your claim for compensation has every chance of success.
