It was in conversations with Scott Herring, a Cobargo community member, that the Phoenix Shed program was born. We facilitated his idea, of pooling community resources to come up with the Phoenix Shed Workshop, which guided participants through the process of building an 8m x 4m structure. Supported with the generosity of Reece Grants, Building Angels as the licensed builder ran the workshop over the course of several weeks. Read more here.
Last week, we finalised the delivery of 41.85 tonnes of FREE tiles to the Bega Valley Shire to assist those rebuilding after losing their home in the Black Summer Fires. Read more here about how this was made possible.
Understanding your contract, its inclusions, exclusions, and the jargon used is paramount to ensure you manage your budget and you avoid any additional stresses during your re-build. Here we explain a few key elements like Prime Cost versus Provisional Sum and how that can impact your budget; the importance of obtaining a Home Builders Compensation Fund Certificate (also known as Home Owners Warranty) before you pay a deposit; and explore the benefits of Liquidated Damages.
BUILDING ANGELS has launched the BUILDING BACK BETTER program to Support Black Summer Bushfire Victims in the rebuild. The program is designed to offer exclusive discounts from industry partners on building materials with an aim to provide at least $250,000 of discounted products into fire-affected communities.
Building Angels allows the wider building industry, other charities and community organisations to work together and support individual cases of people in need with their building works.
