Description

Changes to your building contract after it’s signed are known as ‘variations.’ Failure to properly document and approve variations before work begins is one of the most common causes of building disputes.

If you’ve been issued a Variation, use this checklist to ensure it is clearly documented, accurately costed, and legally compliant before providing written approval. Designed for homeowners managing residential renovations or new builds, this checklist helps protect your rights and avoid costly disputes.
