Reduce the Financial Risks of Your Building Project

Ensuring that construction jobs get completed and contractors and suppliers get paid.

Building contracts are essential, whether you are building a new house or undertaking renovation work. We know from our extensive experience in the building and construction industry how much the contractual arrangements can affect the success and enjoyment of a residential building project. BuildRight Conditions of Contract are drafted to be fair and equitable to both the contractor and the owner.

Safeguard
Your Retentions

Ensure retentions are held in a secure and independent trust account and avoid the risk of losing them.

BuildSafe Retention Trust Fund

Contractors, do not let any employer withhold retentions from you unless they are held in trust in a unique BuildSafe Retention Trust Fund Account established just for you for that project. Make the use of a BuildSafe Retention Trust Fund a condition of the employer holding retentions.

The cost is minimal at a mere $100.00 to establish a trust account for each subcontractor and $25.00 per transaction into or out of that account. The cost of using the BuildSafe Retention Trust Fund is nothing compared to the financial hardship that the loss of retentions can cause you as a result of the insolvency of the employer or head contractor.
