Application, Acceptance & Precedence
Requesting a quote, issuing a deposit, accepting an estimate, accessing https://premierbuildreno.com.au/, or permitting site access constitutes acceptance of these Terms.
These Terms protect Premier Building & Renovations Pty Ltd (“the Company”, “we”, “us”) across all services, site visits, trade works, and digital interactions.
Executed Major Building Work Contracts mandated under Section 28 of the Building Work Contractors Act 1995 (SA) take precedence over these Terms only to the extent of direct inconsistency.
Quotations, Site Conditions & Latent Deficiencies
Written quotes strictly rely on initial non-invasive visual observations. The Company accepts no liability for costs or delays arising from latent site conditions, hidden structural defects, dry rot, subterranean obstructions, or concealed electrical/plumbing issues.
Hazardous Materials: Unexpected hazardous substances (e.g., asbestos) requiring abatement will be managed strictly under the Work Health and Safety Act 2012 (SA) as a mandatory variation at the Client’s expense.
Provisional Sums: All Prime Cost (PC) and Provisional Sums are non-binding estimates. Actual costs adjust based on final supplier invoices plus standard trade margins, per Section 29 of the Building Work Contractors Act 1995 (SA).
Limitation of Liability & Statutory Guarantees
Services carry non-excludable statutory guarantees under Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) (ACL). Under Section 64A of the ACL, liability for breach of a statutory guarantee is strictly limited to re-performing the services or covering the cost of re-performance.
Residential building works carry statutory warranties under Section 32 of the Building Work Contractors Act 1995 (SA).
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company disclaims all liability for indirect or consequential losses, including loss of rent, commercial profits, living expenses, storage costs, or property devaluation.
Aggregate direct liability for contractual breach, tort, or negligence shall not exceed total actual monies paid by the Client for the specific project.
Extensions of Time (EOT) & Delay Damages Immunity
The Company is not liable for financial compensation, lost income, or liquidated damages caused by completion delays outside direct operational control.
Delays from force majeure, severe weather, supply chain disruptions, council approvals under the Planning, Development and Infrastructure Act 2016 (SA), client selection delays, or mandatory variations automatically entitle the Company to a reasonable Extension of Time (EOT).
Site Access, Structural Integrity & Third-Party Indemnity
The Client must guarantee continuous, safe site access compliant with South Australian WHS standards. The Company accepts no liability for pre-existing structural flaws, ground movement, or historical settlement.
Indemnity: The Client indemnifies and holds harmless the Company, its directors, employees, and subcontractors against all third-party claims, legal fees, or property damage arising from pre-existing site defects or client-directed works.
Website Usage & Digital Disclaimer
Information on https://premierbuildreno.com.au/ is provided for general informational purposes only. The Company provides no guarantees regarding website accuracy, server uptime, or freedom from malicious code.
The Company accepts no liability for website downtime or third-party web links.
Intellectual Property & Copyright
All custom plans, architectural concepts, quotes, renderings, and website content remain the exclusive intellectual property of Premier Building & Renovations Pty Ltd under the Copyright Act 1968 (Cth).
Unauthorized reproduction, alteration, or transfer of our designs to third-party builders is strictly prohibited.
8. Photography, Social Media & Online Reviews
Media License: Unless the Client opts out in writing prior to project commencement, the Client grants the Company a perpetual, royalty-free license to photograph and film completed works for marketing, web, and social media platforms.
Defamation: Public feedback and online reviews must remain truthful and non-defamatory. The Company reserves all legal remedies under the Defamation Act 2005 (SA) to address false or malicious reviews.
Invoices, Deposit Limits & Payment Terms
Statutory Deposits: Deposits strictly comply with Section 29 of the Building Work Contractors Act 1995 (SA) (up to $1,000 for works up to $20,000; up to 5% for works over $20,000).
Payment Due Dates: Invoices must be paid strictly within 7 calendar days of issuance.
Late Interest & Recovery: Overdue balances accrue daily interest at 10% per annum, plus all debt collection fees and legal costs on an indemnity basis.
Right to Suspend Works
The Company reserves the right to suspend on-site trade works, withhold material deliveries, or clear equipment from the site if any invoice remains unpaid beyond the 7-day due date.
The Company is released from liability for project delays, site exposure damage, or extra mobilization costs caused by invoice-related suspensions.
Client-Supplied Materials & Subcontractors
The Company accepts no liability for delays, defects, or premature failure of materials, fixtures, or equipment provided directly by the Client.
Subcontractors engaged directly by the Client are not under the direction of the Company. The Company disclaims all responsibility for their workmanship, safety compliance, or site damage.
Council Permits, Approvals & Boundary Verification
Unless explicitly included in our written scope, obtaining and paying for all development consents, building approvals, boundary surveys, and engineering certifications under the Planning, Development and Infrastructure Act 2016 (SA) is the Client’s sole responsibility.
The Company accepts no liability for structural encroachments or council stop-work orders arising from incorrect boundary indications provided by the Client.
Utilities, Site Amenities & Working Hours
The Client must provide continuous access to operational water and electricity at no charge to the Company for the duration of the works.
Standard working hours are Monday to Saturday, 7:00 AM – 5:00 PM. Delays resulting from client-imposed hour restrictions will trigger an Extension of Time (EOT).
Practical Completion, Handover & Punch-Lists
Practical Completion occurs when works are substantially completed and ready for their intended use, subject to minor omissions or defects.
A joint handover inspection will generate a single, binding punch-list. The Company will rectify agreed minor defects within a reasonable timeframe. Claiming minor defects does not entitle the Client to withhold final progress payments.
Tolerances & Natural Material Variations
Works will be completed within standard industry tolerances defined by the National Construction Code (NCC) and Australian Standards.
Natural materials (timber, stone, concrete, tiles) are subject to variations in color, grain, shade, and texture. The Company is not liable for natural material characteristics or minor surface hairline shrinkage cracks.
Subcontracting & Assignment
The Company reserves the right to subcontract any portion of the trade works, specialist installations, or structural tasks to licensed contractors.
The Client may not assign or transfer their rights or obligations under these Terms to any third party (including subsequent property buyers) without our prior written consent.
Termination for Breach or Insolvency
The Company may terminate the agreement immediately upon written notice if the Client breaches a material term, fails to remedy an unpaid invoice within 7 days, becomes insolvent, or enters bankruptcy.
Upon termination, the Client must immediately pay for all completed work, installed materials, non-refundable supplier orders, and reasonable demobilization costs.
Force Majeure
The Company is not liable for failure to perform or project delays caused by events beyond reasonable control, including severe weather, acts of God, fires, floods, global supply chain collapse, industry strikes, epidemics, government orders, or civil unrest.
Severability & Entire Agreement
If any provision of these Terms is found to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under South Australian law, that clause will be severed without affecting the validity and enforceability of the remaining clauses.
These Terms constitute the complete agreement between the parties regarding liability, website usage, and trade services.
Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
These Terms are governed exclusively by the laws of South Australia.
Mandatory Mediation: Before initiating court proceedings or SACAT applications, parties must attempt informal negotiation or mediation facilitated by Master Builders SA or the Housing Industry Association (HIA). Both parties submit to the jurisdiction of South Australian courts.
Hard Rock & Subsurface Obstructions Clause
Excavation pricing assumes clean earth conditions. If rock, hard unyielding substrate, shale, concrete obstructions, buried footings, or dense clay are encountered requiring heavy machinery (e.g., rock breakers, core drills), it will be treated as an unforeseen site condition.
Additional labor, heavy machinery hire fees, disposal costs, and structural delays will be billed to the Client as a mandatory variation, and the Company is automatically granted an Extension of Time (EOT).
Statutory Building Indemnity Insurance
Where domestic building work exceeds statutory insurance thresholds under SA law and requires development approval under the Planning, Development and Infrastructure Act 2016 (SA), the Company will maintain statutory Building Indemnity Insurance as required by Section 34 of the Building Work Contractors Act 1995 (SA).
The cost of the insurance premium will be billed directly to the Client as an authorized preliminary expense.
Statutory Cooling-Off Period
In accordance with Section 36 of the Building Work Contractors Act 1995 (SA), the Client may terminate a domestic building work contract within 5 clear business days after receiving a signed copy of the contract by giving written notice to the Company.
The Company will not invoice or perform works during the statutory cooling-off period without explicit written authorization from the Client.
Progress Payments & Statutory Invoicing
Progress payments requested by the Company are strictly for work already performed or materials already supplied, in accordance with Section 30 of the Building Work Contractors Act 1995 (SA).
The Client is not obligated to pay a progress claim without a formal written tax invoice detailing the milestone completed.
Statutory Defect Claims & Limitation Periods
Any legal proceedings initiated by the Client for breach of statutory warranties under Section 32 of the Building Work Contractors Act 1995 (SA) must be commenced within 5 years post-completion.
Under Section 159 of the Planning, Development and Infrastructure Act 2016 (SA), an absolute 10-year limitation period applies to legal actions for economic loss or rectification costs resulting from defective building work.
Property Damage & Unstable Soil Disclaimer
The Company accepts no liability for ground movement, soil subsidence, reactive clay expansion, or foundation settlement occurring on the site unless directly caused by sole proven negligence of the Company.
The Client guarantees that all boundary walls, fencing, trees, and adjoining structures are structurally sound prior to the commencement of earthworks or excavation.
Client Variations & Scope Lock-In
Requests for additions, alterations, or omissions after contract execution must be submitted in writing.
The Company reserves the right to decline requested variations if they compromise structural integrity, violate the National Construction Code (NCC), or unreasonably delay existing project commitments. Approved variations will incur an administrative margin.
Storage & Unclaimed Materials
Materials delivered to the site remain the property of the Company until fully paid for.
If the Client causes a suspension of work exceeding 14 calendar days, the Company reserves the right to charge site protection, security, and material storage fees until work resumes.
Privacy & Personal Information
The Company collects, holds, and processes client personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
Personal details are used exclusively for administration, trade scheduling, subcontractor management, statutory insurance filings, and invoicing, and will never be sold to third-party marketing entities.
Work Health and Safety (WHS) & Site Access Rights
The site is designated a controlled work zone under the Work Health and Safety Act 2012 (SA). The Company reserves the right to deny site entry to the Client, occupants, or third parties during active construction hours for safety reasons.
The Client indemnifies the Company for any injuries or safety fines caused by the Client or their guests entering restricted work areas without prior consent and personal protective equipment (PPE).
Title Retention & Retention of Title (Romalpa Clause)
Ownership of and legal title to all materials, goods, structural elements, and fixtures delivered to or installed at the site remain with the Company until all outstanding invoices are paid in full.
If the Client defaults on any payment, the Company reserves all lawful remedies to repossess and remove unpaid materials.
Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR)
The Client acknowledges that these Terms constitute a Security Agreement for the purposes of the Personal Property Securities Act 2009 (Cth) (PPSA).
The Client grants the Company a Purchase Money Security Interest (PMSI) in all goods, materials, and fixtures supplied. The Company may register its security interest on the PPSR at the Client’s expense.
Statutory Security of Payment Rights
The Company reserves all rights to enforce rapid payment claims and statutory adjudication under the Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 2009 (SA) (SOP Act).
The Client agrees that any payment dispute under an invoice may be referred to an accredited adjudicator under the SA SOP Act, and any decision rendered is legally binding and enforceable as a court judgment.
Electronic Signatures & Digital Communications
Both parties agree that contracts, variation orders, and approvals executed via electronic signatures comply fully with the Electronic Transactions Act 2000 (SA).
Electronic notices sent via email are deemed received on the business day immediately following transmission, provided no delivery failure notice is generated.
Temporary Services & Utility Usage Charges
Where temporary utility services (such as portable generators, site toilets, temporary power poles, or water meters) are required due to unavailable on-site utilities, all rental and usage charges will be passed to the Client as a mandatory preliminary variation.
The Company accepts no liability for utility outages or voltage fluctuations caused by external utility providers.
Demolition, Structural Removal & Hidden Cavities
Quotes for demolition or wall removals strictly assume non-load-bearing conditions unless engineered structural plans are explicitly included in the contract scope.
The Company accepts zero liability for damage to unmapped internal wiring, hidden plumbing conduits, concealed gas lines, or structural sag revealed following the removal of existing walls, ceilings, or joinery.
Scaffolding, Protection Work & Neighboring Boundary Access
If construction requires boundary access, scaffolding, or protection works on neighboring properties under Section 139 of the Planning, Development and Infrastructure Act 2016 (SA), obtaining neighbor consent is the Client’s responsibility.
The Client indemnifies the Company against all third-party trespass claims, access disputes, or neighboring property complaints resulting from lack of neighbor authorization.
Material Substitutions & Discontinued Stock
The Company reserves the right to substitute specified materials, finishes, or fixtures with items of equivalent quality and standard if specified items are discontinued, obsolete, or subject to extended manufacturer lead times exceeding 14 calendar days.
The Company will notify the Client in writing of necessary substitutions, and such replacements will not constitute a breach of contract.
Wet Weather, Mud & Site Decontamination
The Company is not responsible for site ground conditions transformed by natural rain events or flooding.
If extreme mud, water accumulation, or soil instability prevents safe vehicle access or machinery operation, the Client will cover costs for temporary access tracks (e.g., gravel, crushed rock, or bog mats) as a variation.
Tree Roots, Vegetation & Landscape Alterations
The Company accepts zero liability for structural damage caused to existing or adjacent trees, root systems, gardens, lawns, or landscaping resulting from mandatory excavation or foundation work.
The Client remains liable for tree removal permits required under local council vegetation/significant tree protection laws.
Dust, Noise, Vibration & Living Disturbance
The Client acknowledges that renovations generate dust, noise, vibration, and general operational disruption.
The Company accepts no liability for minor cosmetic cracking, dust settlement on furniture/electronics, or living inconvenience suffered by occupants remaining on site during construction works.
Protection of Client’s Contents & Valuables
The Client is solely responsible for removing or protecting personal belongings, valuables, furniture, and delicate items from active work zones prior to commencement.
The Company accepts no liability for accidental damage to or loss of unremoved personal belongings left within or adjacent to the work site.
Matching Existing Finishes & Age Discrepancies
While the Company will make reasonable trade efforts to match new materials to existing structures (e.g., brickwork, render, tiles, paint, timber flooring), exact color, texture, and batch matches cannot be guaranteed due to age, weathering, and manufacturing batch variations.
Color or texture mismatches with existing aged elements do not constitute defective work.
Statutory Workplace Harassment & Zero Tolerance
The Company operates under strict Workplace Health, Safety, and Equal Opportunity policies.
Verbal abuse, intimidation, harassment, or physical threats directed by the Client or occupants toward the Company’s staff or subcontractors will result in immediate work suspension and potential contract termination under Section 17.
Works Surrounding Existing Utilities & Underground Services
The Client must provide accurate location plans for all underground services (water, gas, electrical, telecommunications, stormwater) prior to excavation.
Where plans are inaccurate or unavailable, the Company will use Dial Before You Dig (DBYD) protocols. The Company is not liable for damage to unmapped or incorrectly positioned underground services.
Hazardous Waste Disposal & Environmental Compliance
Disposal of contaminated soil, chemical waste, asbestos, or hazardous substances will strictly adhere to the Environment Protection Act 1993 (SA) and EPA directives.
All testing, specialized handling, transport, and EPA tipping fees will be charged to the Client as a mandatory variation.
Client Delay in Selections & Project Holding Fees
The Client must provide final tile, paint, fixture, and finish selections by the dates agreed in the project schedule.
Failure to provide selections on time releases the Company from completion timelines and entitles the Company to charge a daily holding/standby fee for trades forced to pause operations.
Warranties on Client-Selected Appliances & Equipment
Manufacturer warranties for installed appliances (e.g., ovens, hot water units, air conditioners, solar panels) pass directly to the Client.
The Company provides no independent warranty on manufactured units beyond standard trade installation compliance, and the Client must handle product failure claims directly with the manufacturer.
Staging, Scaffolding & Temporary Fencing Safety
Temporary fencing, edge protection, and scaffolding erected on site must not be altered, moved, or tampered with by the Client or unauthorized third parties.
The Client assumes full legal liability for any WHS breaches, injuries, or council fines resulting from unauthorized modifications to safety barriers.
Final Payment, Handover & Keys Release
Full settlement of the final progress invoice is a strict condition precedent to the release of keys, occupancy documentation, compliance certificates, and formal handover of the project.
The Company retains physical possession of the site and works until all monies owed under the contract and variations are received in cleared funds.
Domestic Building Dispute Resolution Scheme (SACAT Jurisdiction)
The Client acknowledges that minor domestic building disputes under $100,000 may be referred to the South Australian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (SACAT) under the South Australian Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 2013 (SA).
Both parties agree to attend a compulsory conciliation conference at SACAT prior to requesting a formal tribunal hearing.
Asbestos Clearance Certificates & Testing Protocols
For structures built prior to 1990, the Client is responsible for providing an Asbestos Register or paying for professional sampling prior to demolition.
Where friable or non-friable asbestos is disturbed, work will immediately cease until a licensed Class A/B asbestos removalist clears the area and issues a formal Clearance Certificate under the Work Health and Safety Regulations 2012 (SA). All costs will be billed as a mandatory variation.
Artificial Intelligence, Digital Renders & Conceptual Visualizations
Computer-generated 3D renders, AI-generated design concepts, or visual mock-ups provided on https://premierbuildreno.com.au/ or in sales presentations are for conceptual illustration only.
Final construction will strictly follow formal engineering plans, working drawings, and physical specifications. Discrepancies between digital renders and built reality do not constitute a defect or contractual breach.
Energy Efficiency & Environmental Compliance (NCC Volume 1 & 2)
Works designed to meet National Construction Code (NCC) energy efficiency requirements rely strictly on specified materials.
If the Client requests variations to windows, insulation, layout, or orientation that compromise the energy assessment, the Client must pay for a revised energy compliance report and any necessary structural alterations.
Heavy Vehicle Parking, Permits & Road Impact Damage
The Client must ensure adequate parking for trade vehicles, skips, and heavy transport on or directly adjacent to the property.
Any local council permits, road closure fees, or work-zone parking permits required under council bylaws are the Client’s financial responsibility. The Company accepts no liability for damage to council footpaths, crossovers, or nature strips caused by heavy machinery unless directly resulting from sole proven negligence.
Pre-Existing Mould, Rot & Fungal Contamination
Visual quotes exclude liability for internal wall mould, damp proof course (DPC) failures, subfloor rot, or concealed fungal decay.
Rectification of pre-existing moisture ingress or structural timber rot mandatory for code compliance will be executed strictly as an authorized variation.
Client Directives Directly Opposing Trade Advice
If the Client insists on specific construction methods, materials, or layout choices against the express written technical advice of the Company or design engineers, the Client executes such directives at their own risk.
The Client releases and indemnifies the Company from all statutory warranty claims, failures, or remedial costs resulting directly from client-directed departures from standard trade practice.
Subfloor & Soil Geotechnical Classifications
Soil testing and geotechnical site classifications (e.g., Class A, S, M, H1, H2, E, P under AS 2870) provided prior to contract execution determine foundation engineering.
If actual excavations reveal abnormal soil behavior, uncompacted fill, high water tables, or unmapped underground springs not disclosed in initial soil tests, footing design modifications will be executed as a mandatory variation at the Client’s expense.
Key Loss & Site Security Code Access
Where the Client provides physical keys, access codes, or smart lock credentials to the Company, the Company will take reasonable security precautions.
The Company accepts no liability for unauthorized site entry, theft, or property loss resulting from shared key boxes or pre-existing security vulnerabilities outside the Company’s direct control.
Unfair Contract Terms (ACL Compliance & Mutuality)
In accordance with the Treasury Laws Amendment (More Competition, Better Prices) Act 2022 (Cth) amending the Australian Consumer Law, these Terms are drafted to balance legitimate business interests without imposing unfair contract terms.
If any individual clause is declared void or unfair by a court or tribunal, that clause shall be severed or read down strictly to the minimum extent necessary, leaving all remaining protective provisions fully enforceable.
Security Payment Claims & Enforceability
The Client acknowledges that progress payment requests may be issued as Formal Payment Claims pursuant to the Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 2009 (SA).
Failure to issue a formal Payment Schedule within the statutory timeframe under the Act waives the Client’s right to dispute the claim amount, making the full invoiced balance a debt recoverable in court.
Title to Salvage & Demolished Materials
Unless explicitly agreed in writing prior to site setup, all materials removed during demolition, excavation, or strip-out (including structural timber, copper wiring, scrap metal, and architectural salvage) become the property of the Company.
The Company reserves the right to retain, recycle, or sell salvaged items to offset site waste disposal costs without crediting the Client.
Insurance Maintenance & Risk Allocation
The Company maintains public liability and trade contract works insurance during active construction.
However, risk of physical loss or damage to the Client’s existing structures, contents, and uninstalled client-supplied goods remains with the Client. The Client must maintain current Home and Contents insurance covering structural alterations.
No Waiver of Rights
Any failure or delay by the Company to enforce strict performance of any provision in these Terms, or to exercise any contractual right or statutory remedy, shall not be construed as a waiver of that provision or right.
A single or partial exercise of any legal right by the Company does not prevent further exercise of that or any other right.
Independent Legal & Technical Advice
The Client acknowledges having read and understood these Terms prior to issuing a deposit, accepting an estimate, or executing a contract.
The Client confirms they have had full opportunity to seek independent legal, engineering, or trade advice regarding the binding nature of these provisions.
Defective Work Notification & Right to Rectify
Before engaging third-party builders or starting dispute proceedings, the Client must issue written notice of any alleged defect to the Company.
The Client must allow the Company continuous, unhindered site access for 30 business days following notice to inspect and rectify agreed defects. Denying entry releases the Company from liability for rectification costs paid to third parties.
Post-Handover Maintenance & Structural Settlement
Minor cosmetic cracks, joint expansion, silicone movement, or timber shrinkage occurring within 6 months post-completion due to natural settlement, building movement, or humidity fluctuations are classified as normal maintenance.
The Company accepts no liability for routine maintenance, minor structural movement, or seasonal expansion post-handover.
Statutory Right to Suspend Works for Safety
Under the Work Health and Safety Act 2012 (SA), the Company reserves the absolute right to suspend works immediately if unsafe site conditions, aggressive behavior, structural instability, or hazardous materials present a risk to workers.
Standby costs, equipment rentals, and project delay expenses arising from safety suspensions will be billed to the Client as a mandatory variation.
Off-Site Storage & Custom Material Allocations
Where custom structural elements, joinery, or imported materials are stored off-site in the Company’s warehouse or supplier yards, title transfers to the Client only upon full payment for the materials.
The Company accepts zero liability for supply chain delays affecting off-site custom fabrications outside its direct control.
Priority of Statutory Contract Provisions
Where these Terms are attached to a formal Major Building Work Contract mandated under Section 28 of the Building Work Contractors Act 1995 (SA), any clause herein rendered invalid by statute will be severed.
The remaining terms will continue in full legal force and effect, ensuring maximum lawful protection for Premier Building & Renovations Pty Ltd.
Dilapidation Reports & Pre-Existing Adjoining Damage
For works involving excavation, structural underpinning, or demolition near property boundaries, the Client must pay for a professional Dilapidation Report of adjoining properties if requested by council or engineers under the Planning, Development and Infrastructure Act 2016 (SA).
The Company accepts zero liability for pre-existing defects, cracks, or structural movement identified on neighboring properties prior to construction.
Cross-Contamination & Existing Household Systems
The Company is not liable for pre-existing deficiencies, blockages, low pressure, or cross-contamination within the Client’s existing plumbing, HVAC, or electrical infrastructure connected to new works.
Upgrading non-compliant legacy service lines to meet current Australian Standards will be executed strictly as an authorized variation at the Client’s expense.
Temporary Weather Protection & Extreme Events
While the Company will take reasonable trade measures to install temporary tarpaulins and site coverings during roof or external wall removals, the Company accepts zero liability for water ingress or damage caused by unpredicted, extreme weather events exceeding standard regional weather forecasts.
The Client remains responsible for ensuring their home insurance policy covers storm and water damage during active renovations.
Latent Hazardous Soil & Environmental Contamination
Earthworks quotes assume non-contaminated, virgin natural soil.
If testing reveals heavy metals, chemical runoff, hydrocarbons, or contaminated fill (PFAS, acid sulfate soils), all testing, containment, safe handling, and certified tipping fees will be executed strictly as a mandatory variation under the Environment Protection Act 1993 (SA) at the Client’s expense.
Subcontractor Work Stoppage & Trade Availability
The Company relies on specialist licensed subcontractors to execute trade-specific works.
The Company accepts no financial liability or liquidated damages for project delays resulting from sudden subcontractor illness, trade labor shortages across South Australia, or industry-wide trade union stop-work actions.
Client Non-Interference with Trade Labor
The Client, occupants, and family members must not direct, instruct, or interfere with trade workers, sub-contractors, or machinery operators on site.
All project directions must be communicated directly through the Company’s designated Project Manager in writing. The Company accepts no liability for defects or extra costs resulting from direct instructions given by the Client to subcontractors.
Electronic Banking & Fraud Disclaimer
Invoices issued by the Company contain bank account details for direct transfer.
The Client is responsible for verifying bank details prior to transferring large payments. The Company accepts zero financial liability for funds lost due to client-side email interception, cyber fraud, or unauthorized modification of payment details on the Client’s end.
Post-Handover Key & Property Security Responsibility
Upon Practical Completion and handover of project keys, full responsibility for physical property security, window locks, door deadbolts, and alarm systems transfers immediately back to the Client.
The Company is not liable for break-ins, property theft, or vandalism occurring post-handover.
Material Price Volatility & Hyper-Inflation Clause
Quotations remain fixed for 30 calendar days. However, if material costs (e.g., structural steel, timber, copper, concrete) increase by more than 10% between quote acceptance and supply procurement due to global market spikes, the excess cost will be passed directly to the Client as a documented price variation.
Final Legal Binding Status & Severability Guarantee
The Client confirms that these 80 Terms and Conditions have been made available prior to contract execution, deposit payment, or site access.
If any court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction deems any specific sub-clause unenforceable, that provision shall be severed, leaving all remaining 79 protective clauses in full legal force and effect for Premier Building & Renovations Pty Ltd
