Life is all about connections and collaborations and without this Building Angels would not exist nor be able to provide the support we are currently providing to those rebuilding after the fires that devastated so much of Australia earlier this year.
It was with the support of our friends at Brickworks Building Products along with some carefully planned logistics that we were able to delivery of two full truck loads of FREE 300 x 300 x 10mm tiles.
That is:
• two truck loads
• 27 pallets
• 1061 sqm
• in excess of $25,000
The feedback was most rewarding and definitely keeps us going.
It was with conversations with Scott Herring, a Cobargo community member, that the Phoenix Shed program was born. We facilitated his ideals, of pooling community resources to come up the Phoenix Shed Workshop which guiding participants though the process of building an 8m x 4m structure. Supported with the generosity of Reece Grants, Building Angels, as the licenced 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.
