Consumer Building Guide NSW- Things To Look Out For

Be wary of:

1. A salesperson, builder or tradesperson who encourages you to sign a contract quickly to avoid a price increase. This is usually just a sales pitch.

2. A builder who suggests you get an owner-builder permit while they organise all the building work. This can be a ploy by a builder who does not have the right kind of licence, or cannot get home warranty insurance. Sometimes, it is simply to avoid responsibility. If you become an owner-builder, you take on added responsibilities and place yourself at greater risk if the work is not done properly. As an owner-builder, you may be held accountable for statutory warranties provisions for subsequent purchasers of the property.

3. A builder or tradesperson who gives you a quote that seems extremely low compared with others you have received. It is worth asking yourself – are they providing such a low quote just to get the job? Are they cutting corners that could impact the quality of the job?
