Simple Works Contract

Have an architect designed home in Melbourne that's been to tender and I've picked a builder. Been presented with the standard 69 page Simple Works Contract created by the AIA and Master Builders Australia.

What has been your experience using this contract? Especially interested to hear of any issues had with the contract or with the build and how it was resolved with the contract.

    The Simple Works Contract is written in collaboration with the Master Builders Australia and the Australian Institute of Architects. The purpose of the contract is so that the risk (cost of work and timing) is equally shared between the builder and the client (owner). The contract is administered by an architect to ensure that each party is equally protected.

    The contract is good because the client will know up front the cost of the works and timing of the works. If there is a need to vary time and cost then the builder has the right to claim additional time and cost. The contract clearly sets out the process of variations to the project.

    An example would be if during the course of the renovation there are termites found in the floor structure the builder can make a claim for additional time and cost. Another example would be if a client (owner) wants to make a change to the kitchen joinery such a change would impact the time and cost, again the builder has a right to claim for additional work and time.

    Another good reason to use this contract, from a clients point of view, is if the project runs over time there is a part of the contract which requires the builder to pay the client/owner penalties to cover additional costs due to the delay (such as rent when the client can't move back into their home).

    There are other contracts that can be beneficial for different reasons. Just make sure you are protected during your project.

    Hope this helps! Good luck for you project!
