Renovating an older house?
Asbestos was used as a building product between 1940 and 1980 for its insulating properties. The now known health hazards from inhaling loose fibres from this product has seen the introduction of Workplace Health and Safety regulations with regards to the removal of asbestos.

Contractual obligations and warranties
Any residential building or construction work carried out in Queensland which is valued over $3300 needs a QBCC approved legal contract and a home warranty insurance policy taken out on the owner's behalf. Both of these provide peace of mind and clarity when it comes time to start any project.
Any renovations which require waterproofing needs to be undertaken by a qualified waterproofer with a certificate of currency being issued at completion, to warrant the work. This legal obligation ensures peace of mind for an extended period of time long after the project's completion.
In many cases, engineering and certification is required to meet council requirements, which can be organised by the contractor or owner-builder. By using honest and open communication and consultation, as well as following legal requirements, we strive to ensure our custom work meets all of our client's expectations.
