ABIC CP-2014 C Commercial Cost Plus - Residential Special Conditions
The ABIC CP-2014 C Commercial Cost Plus Contract is a commercial contract that, in its unamended form, is not suited to residential building work. These Special Conditions adapt it for residential projects, in a version tailored to the requirements of the relevant state or territory.
ABIC CP-2014 C NSW - Commercial Cost Plus Residential Special Conditions
$220.00AUD
The ABIC CP-2014 C Commercial Cost Plus contract in its unamended form does not contain all the provisions required by the Home Building Act 1989 (NSW) for a contract to do residential building work. These Special Conditions modify the contract to the minimum extent necessary to achieve compliance, enabling its use on residential projects in New South Wales. This provides a practical and balanced alternative to standard cost-plus contracts commonly used in the residential sector.
- When used with the matching ABIC CP-2014 C contract and completed correctly, these Special Conditions amend the contract document to satisfy the applicable requirements of the Home Building Act 1989 (NSW).
