NSW Building Regulations at a Glance

New South Wales has some of the most detailed residential building regulations in Australia. The Home Building Act 1989 governs contracts, progress payments, warranties, and dispute resolution for all residential work. Builders must hold a valid licence from NSW Fair Trading and comply with HBCF insurance requirements for work over $20,000.

Progress payments must follow the prescribed stages (Deposit, Base, Frame, Lock-up, Fixing, Completion), and deposits are capped at 10% of the contract price. Variations must be agreed in writing before work proceeds — a requirement that catches many builders out at NCAT tribunal hearings.

Build Paperless templates all of these requirements into your project workflow, so compliance is automatic rather than something you have to remember.
