Performing work for an owner-builder
Contractors should be aware there are risks and responsibilities associated with carrying out works on a project undertaken by an owner-builder.
An owner-builder is defined as someone who carries out domestic building work on their own home or land.
Owner-builders may be enthusiastic about their project, but they often lack the experience of trained building professionals. As a result, contractors should look to protect themselves in case the project goes wrong.
This resource indicates what steps contractors should take before committing to the works, including checking if the owner-builder has obtained the relevant permit.
Protect your reputation and avoid unforeseen disputes by considering these recommended precautions prior to starting work on an owner-builder project.
