Did you know?

Signing a contract that includes the “warranty as to design accuracy” clause could mean your variations to the design of the project may not be paid! It is important to know what this clause means to you as a subcontractor and what you can do about it.

Join us for this informative session with Tom Walker from Cleland Lawyers who will focus on this problematic and unfair condition found in many building subcontracts.

The seminar will provide clarity on:

• What is a “warranty as to design accuracy” clause;

• Suggested amendments to the subcontract to minimise and manage its impact;

• Contractual notices that should be issued to try and prevent the design accuracy warranty being enforced; and

• How Australian Consumer Law can be used in a dispute with the main contractor about a refusal to accept a variation clause that is reliant on the design accuracy clause.

The seminar will also provide practical guidance on how notices should be issued to a main contractor so as to maximise the subcontractor’s position in a dispute.
