Part B: Insurance for consumer protection
Domestic building insurance is a cover that is provided by the builder for buildings whose cost of
building work is more than $16, 0000 inclusive of labor and cost of materials. This claim is only
effective in cases where the builder dies, become bankrupt or has mysteriously disappeared. The
insurance cover the buyer of the property should the property be sold by the original owner
within six year of completion of the project be it that the domestic building insurance was
provided by a registered practitioner of building or by an owner-builder practitioner. It is a
requirement under Section 137B of the Building Act 1993 that the owner-builders offer warranty
insurance for any works of building they have conducted on their property should the value of
the work is valued at $16,000 or higher for the remainder of the period of six years. It is essential

that the property owners understand that the domestic building insurance policy is meant to
benefit the buyer and that the builder or owner-builder would be held fully responsible in
ensuring that the works of the building are in complaint with the outlined legislation during the
time of construction.
Part C: Contracts
The type of contract that could be used for this project is lump sum or fixed price contract. This
contract encompasses a total fixed prices for all the activities related to the construction and may
include benefits or incentives in case of early completion of the project before the stipulated time
or penalties in the case of delays in the delivery of the project deliverables. This contract would
work well in circumstance where the scope of work is clearly defined and the schedule properly
reviewed and agreed upon. Lump sum or fixed price contract is ideal in the case where the owner
is intending to transfer the burden of the risks to the builder and wants to avoid changes in the
orders for unspecified work.
