Managing cost increases and clients

Cost increases are making it difficult for builders to manage existing and new home building jobs. Fixed price contracts make it hard for builders to cover their costs. Consumers, however, don’t benefit from builders not being able to start or finish jobs.

At this online event Keith Ryan, HIA Victoria Deputy Executive Director, will explain the legal issues that apply to these contracts and also discuss ways to work with clients to manage these problems.

Topics that will be covered include:

  • Negotiating with clients to amend or end contracts
  • Cost escalation clauses
  • Use of PC and PS items
  • Using cost plus contracts
  • Managing delays between contracts and being able to start work.
