Trade Contract – Level 2
The Trade Contract is a lump sum Level 2 regulated contract for use by a trade contractor when contracting directly with a residential owner. The Trade Contract is recommended for use by trade contractors when undertaking a specific trade (i.e. bricklaying, landscaping, concreting or plumbing) for an owner rather than a builder.
It can be used for projects with an initial contract price of less than $20,000 but that may increase to $20,000 (including GST) or more i.e. a Level 1 regulated contract would be required initially but if a variation resulted in a contract price of $20,000 (including GST) or more, the parties would be required to adjust the contract to become a Level 2 regulated contract. The use of the Basic Works Contract avoids the need to change the contract part way through the project for projects that are close to the threshold.
A Trade Contract shouldn't be used in place of a subcontract.
This contract is available for free to eligible members in eDocs. It is not available to purchase in hardcopy.
