Building Owner FAQs
When should I serve notice?
Before starting notifiable work, allowing for the statutory one- or two-month notice period that applies to the relevant work.
Can I serve my own notice?
Yes, but an inaccurate description, owner detail or drawing can invalidate it and delay the project.
Does dissent stop the project?
No. It normally means the dispute-resolution procedure applies and an Award is required.
