By engaging JHP Building Ltd for our services, you acknowledge and agree to the following terms and conditions, which outline the responsibilities and expectations of both parties. These terms apply to all services and goods sold by the supplier to the client.

Quotes are fixed-price agreements based on the detailed scope of work provided. Once a quote is accepted in writing, any changes or additional work requested by the client may result in a variation to the quote and additional charges. Quotes are valid for 30 days and are exclusive of GST.

Estimates are provided as a guideline based on the initial assessment of the project. Actual costs may vary depending on the final scope of work and materials used. Any significant variations from the estimate will be communicated to the client for approval before proceeding.

The following rates shall apply when work is charged out on a time-materials (charge-up) basis. Any variations to the original scope of work will be documented and charged accordingly. Time spent travelling from our workshop to the job site and back, as well as time spent acquiring materials from the suppliers and bringing them to the site, will also be considered billable time. This ensures complete transparency in our billing process. Invoices for charge-up work will be issued on a regular basis, typically at the end of each week or upon completion of specific project milestones. Payment is due within 7 days of the invoice date. Failure to make payment within this timeframe may result in additional charges or suspension of work until payment is received. Any disputes regarding invoiced amounts should be raised within 5 days of receipt of invoice.

· Labour Builder - $80 per hour per Builder.

· Materials - Recommended Retail Price.

· Vehicle - $40 Per Visit

The claimed amount is due and payable within 7 working days of receiving our invoice. Any overdue amounts will be referred to a collection agency, and all costs associated with the recovery of the debt will be the responsibility of the client. Additionally, a late payment fee of NZD $30 may be applied, along with a daily interest charge of up to 0.8% of the outstanding balance. In the event of non-payment, JHP Building Ltd reserves the right to suspend all work until payment is received in full. Any suspension of work due to non-payment may also impact the overall project timeline and incur additional costs.

Due to the fluctuating nature of material and labour costs, JHP Building Ltd reserves the right to adjust pricing for materials and labour if there are signifiant increases in costs. Any price increases will be communicated to the client in advance, and the client’s approval will be required before proceeding with the additional costs. If the client’s approval is delayed, JHP Building Ltd may pause work until approval is received. Any such pause in work due to delayed approval may extend the project timeline, and JHP Building Ltd will not be held liable for any delays caused by the waiting period for such approvals.

If investigation or exploratory work is required to determine the scope of a project, the client will be informed of any additional costs beforehand. These costs will be billed separately if the client decides not to proceed with the full project.

If any variations or additional work are required during the project, they must be approved in writing by the client before proceeding. These approved changes will be documented and invoiced separately from the original contract, and payment for these variations will be due according to the specified payment terms. This ensures that all changes are clearly documented and agreed upon before any additional costs are incurred, providing transparency and clarity for both parties.

The client is responsible for ensuring that the site is ready and accessible for work to commence. Any delays caused by site inaccessibility may result in additional charges.

The client agrees to indemnify and hold harmless JHP Building LTD from any claims, damages, or liabilities arising from the client’s failure to meet their obligations or from third-party claims related to the project.

JHP Building LTD is not liable for any delays or failure to perform resulting from circumstances beyond our control, such as natural disasters, strikes or other unforeseeable events.

All goods and materials supplied by us remain our property until they have been fully paid for. In the event of any unpaid amounts or a breach of obligations, we, or our authorised agents, reserve the right to enter the premises where the goods are located to repossess and, if necessary, resell those goods. Additionally, the client may be required to assist in registering a financing statement under the Personal Property Securities Act 1999 to secure a perfected security interest in any goods supplied.

13.0 RISK:

All goods and materials supplied by JHP Building Ltd will remain the property of JHP Building Ltd until full payment is received. Once delivered to the client’s premises and after payment is made, the risk for these goods and materials will transfer to the client. The client will bear any losses or damages arising from theft, destruction or any other causes once goods are on site and paid for.

Any disputes arising under these terms and conditions will first be addressed through negotiation. In the unlikely event that any disagreements arise concerning the work performed, payments due, or any other business matters, either party may refer the matter to adjudication under Part 3 of the Construction Contracts Act 2002 (CCA).

In accordance with the New Zealand Building Act 2004, we provide a 12-month defect repair period for workmanship and a 10-year structural warranty. JHP Building Ltd will not be liable for any issues arising from defects in materials or components provided by third-party manufacturer’s, or from design specifications that may not align perfectly with on-site conditions. Clients are encouraged to review manufacturer warranties and understand that any claims related to such defects will need to be addressed directly with the manufacturer or designer.

The client is responsible for obtaining all necessary permits and approvals required for the project. JHP Building Ltd can assist in this process, but ultimate responsibility lies with the client.

Either party may terminate the contract with a written notice if the other party breaches any material term. The client will be responsible for payment of all work completed up to the termination date.

Both parties agree to keep all project related information confidential and not to disclose it to third parties without prior consent.
