When the job is building work

For residential building work, a quote may not be enough above a set price. Check whether your job counts as building work where you are.

  • Queensland: a domestic building contract over $3,300 must be in writing, dated and signed by everyone, or it may not be enforceable. qbcc.qld.gov.au
  • New South Wales: residential building work over $5,000 including GST needs a written contract, and you give the homeowner the Consumer Building Guide. nsw.gov.au
  • Victoria: domestic building work over $10,000 needs a written major domestic building contract, with GST included in the price. consumer.vic.gov.au
  • New Zealand: residential building work of $30,000 or more including GST needs a disclosure statement, a consumer protection checklist and a written contract. business.govt.nz

Tips for plumbing quotes

  • Keep the hot water unit on its own line, separate from the labour to fit it.
  • Say whether the price includes after-hours or weekend rates.

How do I make a plumbing quote easy to say yes to?
