Contracts and Compliance

HIA’s kitchen and bathroom members have asked for information that is concise, easy to understand and directly relevant to running a business in the kitchen and bathroom industry.

HIA has now developed a series of Kitchen & Bathroom Information Sheets to assist members in understanding their compliance obligations – information such as:

  • Do I need a licence?
  • What licence do I need?
  • How do I get a licence in another state/territory?
  • Do I need to have a written contract?
  • What rules apply to advertising?
  • What rules apply to business names?
  • What rules apply to advertising?
  • Do I need to undertake induction training?

 

HIA has also developed Information on Contracts addresses frequently asked member questions such as:

  • What insurances do I need to have on a K&B Contract?
  • How much can I take as a deposit & how do I get paid?
  • When am I able to claim an extension of time?
  • Do variations need to be in writing?
  • What if the owner is contracting their own specialist trades?
  • What happens if the client does not pay a progress stage?
  • If I have not been paid can I take back the materials that I have installed?

To order your new and improved K&B Contracts you can phone the memberline on 1800 650 620
