Residential building contract requirements
If you’re building residential properties in NSW, you need a written contract with specific details included. As the contract experts, we’ve put together a must-read checklist for any builder who needs this business-critical paperwork. Learn how to cover yourself, quickly.
These building contracts are a must for any project over $5,000, so they affect most builders and projects in NSW. As you may know, residential projects under $20,000 have very different mandatories to larger-scale projects above $20,000. We outline the must-haves for every project level in this detailed article designed for NSW builders managing their business.
Beyond the basic rundown of what you need to include in a residential building contract, you can also get access to our full suite of contracts that cover everything from residential and commercial projects to agreements, trade contracts and much more.
