HOW DOES BUILDSAFE WORK?

WHAT ELSE DOES BUILDSAFE DO APART FROM HOLD THE DEPOSIT (SECURITY AMOUNT) SAFE?

• Provide you with a construction contract if you do not have one to use.  The BuildRight Conditions of Contract are drafted fairly and equitably and are free to use on any project where you are using the BuildSafe service.

• Provide you with all of the documents, tools and support that you need to contract effectively - for example, we will give you payment claims and payment schedules to use to make sure you comply with your obligations under the Construction Contracts Act. We also provide a number of other forms (see our Schedule of Documents that we provide) including a Site Instruction form which you can use to record in detail any variations or requests for pricing of additional work etc.

• We will explain the ins and outs of insurance and we will help you put effective insurance in place.  This is to minimise the risk to both parties of loss by accident or natural disaster.
   
• Help you resolve any problems you may have during the project quickly and cost effectively via the Building Disputes Tribunal Ltd - If a dispute arises at any time during the course of the construction contract or on completion regarding the nature, quality, or value of any building work required to be undertaken under that contract, that dispute is dealt with immediately by a statutory process called Adjudication and the outcome, or determination as it is called, is binding on the parties. Adjudication is the most commonly utilised method of resolving disputes in the building and construction industry, it is quick, cost effective and most importantly binding on the parties. For more on Adjudication or Dispute Resolution for the Building and Construction industry please visit the Building Disputes Tribunal website for further information.
