JAC HOMES WEBSITE TERMS AND CONDITIONS

The home is our standard single storey home design with standard inclusions with no structural variations including standard options.

The build time period starts on the date JAC Homes pours the slab.

The build time period concludes on the date JAC Homes confirms to you in writing that the house has reached practical completion.

The fixed 4-week handover allowance concludes 4 weeks after JAC Homes confirms to you in writing that the house has reached practical completion regardless of whether or not handover has been completed.

This allowance is meant to provide for the usual time taken for final inspections, cleaning and payment activities normally occurring between practical completion and handover.

JAC Homes provides an allowance of 4 weeks but does not guarantee handover will occur within 4 weeks as delays at this stage are out of the control of the builder eg: council inspections, council documentation, bank valuations, receipt of final payments.

Please contact your contract administrator for more details on client handover requirements.

Subject to meeting these conditions, JAC Homes will pay $300 to you for each week that exceeds the guaranteed build time, up to a maximum of six (6) weeks in total.

Any amounts due will be paid into the customers nominated financial institution account, within four weeks of handover.

Eligible for contracts signed on or after 1st June 2019.

Terms of the Fixed Build Time

Should your home qualify, then JAC Homes will guarantee to complete the construction of your home within the agreed time-frame from commencing its construction (as described below) (Guaranteed build time). Working week means normal trading hours excluding weekends and business and public holidays.

However, where the progress of construction is delayed by an outside party, client supplied trades or fixtures, fittings or appliances, client variations, delay payment or act of God, your home will no longer be eligible for the Fixed Build Time.

Construction commences from slab pour. Construction of a house concludes on the day that JAC Homes delivers a Practical Completion Certificate in accordance with the Building Contract.

Eligible for contracts signed from September 2017 and clearly stated in the specification documents.

Effect of Breech of the Fixed Build Time

If the agreed build time is not met JAC Homes will pay you $300 for each complete week from the expiration of the agreed Fixed Build Time until the day construction of the house concludes for a maximum of six (6) weeks. Such payment will be the full extent of JAC Home’s liability to you for failing to meet the agreed build time duration.

First Home Owners Grant
(excerpt from Revenue SA website, 16th December 2013)

The First Home Owner Grant (FHOG) is paid by the State Government to eligible first home owners. The payment is made only after an application has been submitted to and approved by RevenueSA or a financial institution authorised by RevenueSA to process applications.

The FHOG applies to the purchase or construction of a residential property, including a house, flat, unit, townhouse or apartment that meets local planning standards anywhere in South Australia. The FHOG currently applies to both new and established homes, but will cease for established homes from 1 July 2014.

The residential property must be occupied as each applicant’s principal place of residence property for a continuous period of at least six months commencing within 12 months of date of settlement for contracts to purchase, or the date construction is completed for owner builders or contracts to build.

Visit revenuesa.sa.gov.au for more details.

After Sales Care

When it’s time to move in, we provide you with Handover Pack which contains warranties and practical information. During handover, we talk to you about your home, and how to maintain the property so it always presents beautifully.

We realise it may take more than three months to properly settle into your new home. That’s why we offer a 6 MONTH maintenance period, double the time of other builders.

We know peace of mind is important. If you can’t feel safe in your own home – where can you? That’s why all JAC Homes come with a 50 YEAR Structural Guarantee. Again, double the time offered by other builders.

6 Month Maintenance/Defects Liability Period

6 months after Practical Completion, JAC Homes will carry out a maintenance service at your home. This service is at no charge to the Homeowner.
We require the Homeowner to complete the Maintenance Report Sheet/Defects Liability Form & send it to us by the due date (which is 6 months after Practical Completion).

•    This form will be provided to you at handover & should be in your handover pack from JAC Homes.

•    Once we receive your Maintenance Report Sheet/Defects Liability Form from you, we will send you written confirmation that we have received it. If you have not received a confirmation letter within 10 days of submitting your form, we suggest you contact our office to ensure that is has not been lost through the post or email/fax
transmission.

•    Upon receipt we will also issue an inspection to the Supervisor who will contact you to arrange a time to view your concerns. Once the Supervisor has inspected, they will confirm what work we will carry out at your home.

•    They will complete an inspection report which you will either receive a copy of onsite and/or a letter will be sent to you to confirm the Supervisor’s findings.

•    As well as the client receiving a copy of the inspection report, a copy is also submitted to JAC Homes will issue work orders to the specific subcontractors/companies as necessary.

•    The Subcontractors/Companies will call you directly to arrange a suitable date/time to attend site & carry out the work.

•    Please note that damaged items may not be rectified unless they are noted as outstanding on your Record of Practical Completion Inspection (PCI), which was provided to you when your Practical Completion inspection was carried out by JAC Homes (prior to Handover).

All defects will be subject to specific industry standard tolerances.

Eligible for contracts signed from September 2017 and clearly stated in the specification documents.
