How does weather affect my build?
Your building contract includes an allowance for inclement weather, which may extend your build timeframe where applicable. This allowance varies by state, for example, in Victoria contracts typically include 10 days. Please refer to your specific contract for details relevant to your state.
Weather delays are sometimes necessary to ensure safety and protect the quality of your home. Delays may occur due to:
-
Extreme heat
-
Rain or wet site conditions
-
High winds impacting structural works
Where applicable, weather delays may be claimable under your contract.
