This fills in the enquiry form below; nothing is sent until you submit it. Your details are handled under this site's Privacy Policy.
This lists each source's own lines as read; it is not legal advice, and it sets no price. The value that counts is the value of the work, including materials, labour and GST.
What changes a quote
First is how far the steel has corroded: UNSW says rust takes up more room than the steel it formed from, so the damage beneath a patch can be bigger than the patch. Second is access, since a balcony or landing on an apartment block is reached differently from a step at ground level. Third is whether a design is needed: class 2 remedial building work needs a design from a registered design practitioner.
Lines a government body sets
The checker below lists each rule with its source and read date. Above A$5,000 the contractor needs a NSW contractor licence and the owner must have a written contract; above A$20,000 the home building compensation cover rule applies. No council fee is listed, because no fee for this work was read on a government page.
