Building trades contracts
This range of New Zealand home building trade contracts allows both the contractor or home owner to protect themselves against misunderstandings.
When remodelling a house or adding rooms you are likely to need to hire a New Zealand contractor. By asking prospective contractors a number of questions you can find out about their reputation and level of experience, and whether they are willing to meet the standards you expect.
You should be aware of the precise terms of any contract. In particular:
- Is there a time limit for the work to be completed?
- Is there a fixed cost for the work - that is, has the contractor given you a quote for the work, which legally binds the contractor, as opposed to an estimate, which does not? If you have not been given a quote, does the contract set a maximum cost for the work?
- Does the contract deal with the issue of sub-contractors? In general, the contractor is entitled to hire a sub-contractor to do some or all of the work unless the contract explicitly states otherwise or unless it is implicit in the agreement that the contractor must do the work personally.
