At GOFORTH Kitchens Bendigo, we offer complete project management services for your kitchen renovation and guarantee a fixed price for signed and approved plans.
We understand that building contracts are important in Victoria, and we want you to feel secure before starting the renovation process. Kitchen upgrades can be complicated, so we provide you with a signed contract. This shows how seriously we take our work and your peace of mind. Protecting your property and interests should not be something you need to worry about.
You might think that a signed contract for a kitchen renovation is unnecessary. Still, with multiple contractors, different timelines, and your hard-earned money at stake, it is something you should consider. Without a registered builder in charge and a signed contract that covers the entire project, homeowners can easily get caught up in disputes and legal issues with suppliers and contractors. We want to avoid that and ensure a smooth renovation process for you.
Here are 8 reasons to get a signed contract before your next kitchen upgrade:
- Ensure Scope of Work
When it comes to home renovations and upgrades, it’s always best to avoid making assumptions. You want to make sure that you and your builder are on the same page right from the start, so that you don’t run into any misunderstandings later on. This section of the contract is where you get to outline exactly what you need the construction company to do, and what you expect from them. It’s important to get this part right, so that you can enjoy a stress-free renovation experience!
- Confirm Costs and Payment Terms
Are you thinking about renovating your home? That’s fantastic! But before you start, it’s important to make sure that you don’t run into any unexpected expenses. One way to do that is by detailing all the costs in a contract. This will help you stay within your budget and ensure that everyone is on the same page about who is responsible for any extra expenses.
- Timeline Clarity
We all know that kitchen and bathroom renovations can be quite a hassle and more often than not, they take much longer than we anticipate. That’s why having a written timeline with your builder is so important. It will help you keep track of your project’s schedule and give you a heads-up in case any delays come up.
- Qualified Contractors
You want to make sure the various jobs in your building project are being completed by qualified contractors. More importantly, you want it guaranteed that your kitchen upgrade is being lead by a registered builder. Having it in writing that your renovation will be carried out by such operators safeguards you and your property from poor-quality work and reduces the risks of potential issues.
- Warranties and Guarantees
Warranties and guarantees ensure a certain quality of work and confirm what product/design faults you may be covered for should any arise. This can protect you from further costs should an aspect of your kitchen prove to be faulty. It is essential to work with a builder who is happy to provide warranties and guarantees in writing before a kitchen upgrade.
- Insurance Coverage and Liability
It is important to know what you are covered for and what you are responsible for before heading into any renovation. Having a signed contract that details the insurance coverage and liability responsibilities of each party in the event of any accidents, damages or injuries during a renovation project, can protect you from certain issues, legal disputes and unexpected costs.
- Dispute Resolution
A contract should typically include an agreed-upon method for resolving any disputes, such as mediation or arbitration. It can be comforting to know that there is a process in place, that you agree to, that could help resolve any problems without having to resort to legal action.
- Cancellation Policies
Cancellation and termination policies outline the conditions under which each party can cancel or terminate a project. This provides clarity on potential consequences and associated costs with a cancelled project. You want to be informed of what your rights are and whether you are permitted to cancel your project at any certain point.
There you have it, 8 reasons why you should get a signed contract before your next kitchen renovation. Ultimately, it is about protecting your interests and covering all bases. Contracts are there to support and help protect you legally if something goes wrong or if there is a dispute. With such a significant investment on your part, it is a good idea that both builder and homeowner enter into a written agreement.
