AU Australia property term

Home Building Contract

Western Australia

Plain-English definition

The agreement between an owner and builder setting the price, plans, specifications, payment stages, timeframes and responsibilities for residential building work.

Why this matters to a foreign buyer

Read the plans, inclusions, exclusions, site-work allowances, variation process, delay clauses and progress-payment schedule together. Do not rely on sales brochures or verbal promises.
