Friday, 07th February 2025
Homeowners often want to visit their house construction site during the works. They may wish to assess the works, engage in conversation or just generally get a sense of where things are at.
Whilst they are ultimately the owner of the home, HIA contracts can grant builders’ possession of the site. This means they control all visitors and have the right to allow or deny entry.
In this handy resource, learn what you can and can’t do and how best to manage the expectations of the homeowner and the relationship with them during the process.
