That goes completely against the intent of a lump sum contract maybe thats the point The clients aren't going to test that in court LOL, they have run out of money Besides the govt and regulators are backing this sort of behaviour-> OBG and they can't say we didnt see it coming? Chris I don't disagree with you in terms of clients not pursuing it court, but being the former GM of one of these companies I never came across anyone who ever had this interpretation either. These guys spend heaps on lawyers and if it was possible to unilaterally increase prices during a build they would be doing it all the time.

Re: Building price increases 14Nov 19, 2021 8:26 am Spazzen It will be pretty hard for any builder to rely on those clauses if the owner disputes the delay. They require notice to be provided within 5 days of the builder becoming aware of a delay. The delays attributed to material shortages have been in newspaper articles for the last 12 months. A builder waiting until they're on site and slab down before claiming a delay in timber likely hasn't been proactive enough to rely on those clauses, any builder has known about the delays for months. Agreed. But the only significant delay of materials at the moment where I am is framing timber and some various selections of taps and toilets that are in containers somewhere. The main issue is that supply prices have increased, and under the design and construct concept ie the builder designs and constructs you a home, the risk is 99% on the builder.
