RENOVATION HINTS AND TIPS

Assessing the type of work required to build or renovate your home is essential. By engaging an appropriate building practitioner to conduct an inspection, you can prepare for the amount of work that may need to be undertaken before renovating starts.

For most building and renovating work you will talk directly to the builder. In larger building companies, it may be a consultant or a manager. Whatever the case, you must be able to deal with an individual person for the duration of the project, so do your homework.

Obtain at least three quotes from separate builders and check examples of their work and references.

Ensure your builder is registered, this is required for work over $5000. You can do this by visiting the Building Commissions website at http://www.buildingcommission.com.au and searching for a builder under the “Finding a RBP” option.

For building work over $12,000, building practitioners are required to provide warranty insurance for consumer protection.

Reduce your risks with plumbing, electrical and gas fitting work by using only a registered contractor and ask to see their license, ensure that you are issued with a Certificate of Electrical Safety at completion of the work, always use a licensed plumber and make sure your plumber is accredited to perform the particular kind of work you need.

Make sure your plumber also gives you a Compliance Certificate at the end of any job costing $500 or more. Following these guidelines as a minimum when building and renovating will make the process a more rewarding one..
