Understanding Fair Trading Contracts
The Fair Trading Contract, provided by the New South Wales government, is a standardised building contract crafted to ensure fairness for both homeowners and builders for Tamworth and its surrounding areas. Regularly updated to align with legislative changes and industry standards, this contract highlights a clear scope of work, a comprehensive progress payment schedule, and effective dispute resolution mechanisms. While it offers a user-friendly format and is deemed more homeowner-centric, offering enhanced protection for their rights, it might not be apt for all construction projects, especially those demanding intricate or specialised work.
