Consumer Building Guide NSW-The Basics

By Michael Como | February 15, 2012 |

By NSW Australia law, builders and tradespeople must give consumers a copy of the Consumer Building Guide before they enter into a contract for residential building work worth more than $5,000.

This is the form of consumer information approved by the Director-General for the purposes of the

Home Building Act 1989, section 7AA (contractor obligation), section 96 (2B)    (‘spec’ builder obligation) and section 96A (1A) (developer obligation).

The Home Building Act 1989 is the consumer protection law that regulates residential building work in NSW. Residential building work includes building or trade work on single dwellings, villas, houses and home units.

All builders and tradespeople must be licensed for the kind of residential building work they do where the value of the work (labour and materials, even if you are providing the materials) is over $1,000.

All specialist tradespeople doing electrical wiring, plumbing, draining, gasfitting, air-conditioning or refrigeration work must be licensed regardless of the value of the work and irrespective of whether the work is residential, commercial or industrial.

You should always confirm the licence details of any builder or tradesperson before using them to do work on your home. Go online to www.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au or call 13 32 20 to do a licence check. The licensing requirements also apply to builders and tradespeople carrying out work for owner-builders. A written contract must be used for residential building work.

If the contract price is more than $20,000 (including the cost of any materials supplied by the..contractor), the builder or tradesperson must give a certificate of home warranty insurance to the homeowner.

    Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you
    know a few of the pictures aren’t loading correctly.
    I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue.
    I’ve tried it in two different browsers and both show the same results.



  29. Lon on October 31, 2021 at 4:37 am

    I have been surfing online more than 3 hours these days, but I by no means discovered any fascinating article like yours.
    It’s pretty price enough for me. In my view, if all web owners and bloggers made
    good content material as you did, the net can be a
    lot more helpful than ever before.



  30. Krystal on October 31, 2021 at 4:45 am

    This design is incredible! You definitely know how
    to keep a reader amused. Between your wit and your videos,
    I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Fantastic job.
    I really loved what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it.

    Too cool!
