Our Principal Lawyer Ping Gangur attended CCF Victoria’s workplace culture workshop this morning, focused on practical ways civil construction businesses can strengthen culture, retention and long-term workforce growth.

It was a valuable session and a great opportunity to support CCF Vic, hear from industry leaders and connect with others working to build stronger teams across the sector.

At Level Playing Field Lawyers, we see the value of strong communication, clear expectations and early action in building more resilient construction businesses.

Thank you to Civil Contractors Federation Victoria for hosting.

Can you deal with the contract later?

Many contractors sign first and plan to deal with the contract if something goes wrong. But once it is signed, the rules are already set.

That can affect NOTICES, VARIATIONS, PAYMENT, TIME BARS, DELAY COSTS and RISK ALLOCATION.

The problem is not always the contract itself. It is discovering what it means after the pressure starts.

Fuel costs are rising. But can you actually pass them on?

The Road Transport Contractual Chain Order 2026 (Order) commenced on 21 April 2026.

At a glance, this does not look like a construction issue.

But if your project involves trucks, cartage, spoil removal, aggregates, premix, plant transport, material deliveries or transport-heavy subcontractors, fuel-related cost pressure is likely to flow into your project costs.

Will raising contract departures cost you the job?

Many subcontractors stay silent because they do not want to lose the work.

But signing without addressing key risks can create bigger problems later, especially around PAYMENT, VARIATIONS, TIME BARS, DELAY, INDEMNITIES and LIABILITY.

The real issue is not whether to raise departures. It is knowing which ones matter, and how to raise them commercially.
