What if the builder does not achieve practical completion of the home within 130 working days?
If the builder does not achieve practical completion of the home within 130 working days (approx. 6 months) from slab down (plus any applicable extensions claimed by the builder), the builder will pay the owner $300 per week (inclusive of GST) into their nominated bank account until practical completion is reached, up to a maximum of 10 weeks.
Is steel frame and Masterwall construction durable long-term?
Yes. Steel frames are highly durable and resistant to common structural issues like movement, shrinking, or water damage. When paired with Masterwall, your granny flat will have a robust exterior built to withstand the elements for decades.
What is Masterwall and how does it work with a steel frame?
Masterwall is a lightweight external cladding system made from insulated EPS panels. It attaches seamlessly to steel framing and is finished with a durable, rendered coating. Together, they create an energy-efficient, strong, and stylish structure.
