Re: Terminate Build Contract 8Nov 03, 2021 4:41 pm Ash19 Thanks John and others for the response. I have told the builder I can't afford the increase and if he can't honor the contract we will have to cancel it. He said he will check and get back. How long do I need to wait for his response? Hi ash19 It depends on whether or not you wish to terminate the Contract mutually or pursuant to the Contract. If mutually, then there is no timeframe. I suppose you play this by ear on what seems appropriate in the circumstances. If pursuant to the Contract, then you should follow the Contract timeframes for the relevant termination clause. In both circumstances you might speak with a local solicitor or a construction lawyer to assist you with getting it right. Of course, terminating a contract is risky and getting it wrong may cause you to repudiate the Contract. Alternatively you might speak with the QBCC for assistance.
