Consumer Protection for Repairs and Rebuilds

The Department of Building and Housing has a web page covering the protections available to consumers like us who are having repairs done, or a new house built. The topics covered are:

• Disputes
• Warranties
• Putting it right
• Complaints about licensed building practitioners
• Other laws that protect you

You can find it here. There is also a link to a site called Consumerbuild with more information about building, buying, renovating and maintaining houses - which sort of covers us.
