Construction Contracts

At Master Builders SA, we have a range of building and construction standard contracts available for purchase to members only.

Our contracts are of the highest industry standards and provide confidence for both the builder and the consumer. We have contracts available from housing to sub-contracts, and domestic aids such as Site Reports and Variations to Contract.

In late 2019 Master Builders SA’s contracts were reviewed and updated by construction law specialists Fenwick Elliott Grace. These updates and changes have been done without altering the risk allocation or the plain English look and feel of the contracts. Importantly, the changes provide:

  • compliance with changed or new legislation
  • clearer definitions and more consistent use of defined terms
  • more precise language leading to reduced scope for ambiguity or misunderstanding of contract terms
  • streamlined structure, format and numbering
  • confirmation of the Owner’s obligations to cooperate with and not delay the Builder
  • more clarity and certainty about where a variation might arise
  • more clarity and certainty about the risk of adverse site, weather and access conditions
  • a clearer process for practical completion
  • substitution of a Defects Liability Period in place of the Maintenance Period to better align with wider industry practice
  • updated the dispute conciliation and arbitration provisions; and
  • a reduction of MBA fees for the dispute conciliation and arbitration provisions.

We welcome any feedback or questions from our members who currently use our contracts or may be interested in starting to use our contracts online through our Master Suite platform, which are included FREE in your membership with Master Builder SA.
