Hi,
I am going to be the owner builder for a property I am going to build. From those that have done it or are doing it, how is it best to pay trades and what type of contracts did you use? I am intending on contracting out 99% of the work.
Carpenters - did you pay per hour and use a cost plus contract (as work will be more than $10k). It seems they also need to be a registered builder - limited in carpentry or unlimited.
Slab, Earthworks, Drainage, Roofer, Electrician, Plumber, Cladding- I assume all fixed price quotes.
What about bricklayers? Fixed price or hourly? They also need to be licensed as work over $10k?
And plasterers?
Thanks.
Thanks
