Is it a HIA contract or a NSW Home building contract for work over $20,000? if its the NSW home building contract, check clause 11 - The contractor must provide a copy of any relevant invoice, receipt or other document evidencing the purchase price of the item at the time payment is requested. If the contractor purchases a prime cost item, any discount for prompt payment will be allowed in favour of the contractor. All written warranties for such items must be given to the owner on completion of the work and must be enforceable by the owner If its a HIA contact, i dont have one handy. if you have a PDF version, search the document. If its an image PDF file and cant be searched, read it. Short of that you will need to seek some independent advice if you really need more. The NSW acts dont have a domestic building contracts act like VIC does AFAIK, and their home building Act doesn't cover what you're looking for. Though given that there is something about invoice evidence in the NSW contract itself, there should be something somewhere in some legislation that supports this. Conversely perhaps there isnt, and if it isnt in the HIA contract, you may be sht out of luck. As to convenience, well you'll have to decide if its more convenient for you to get bent over or take a drive to the builders office.

Re: Provisional Sum Items - Actual cost v contract provision 14Feb 24, 2021 8:20 pm Noname ........ you could call the company while you are in the builders office viewing the invoice and ask them if the figures match right in front of the builder. Would be funny AF. What's funnier is when the client turns up on site to inspect the variation and says to the tradie "I paid Top Dollar for that....." and the tradie says " Show me the variation...
