Scope and Acceptance
These Terms & Conditions govern the relationship between Perknomad and any client who engages us to carry out residential renovation work. By accepting a written quotation, signing a contract, or authorising work to begin, you agree to be bound by these terms.
Where a signed contract exists between you and Perknomad, the specific terms of that contract take priority over this page if there is any conflict. These terms fill in the gaps and set out the general expectations for every job.
Quotations and Pricing
All quotes are prepared in writing and remain valid for 30 days from the date of issue, unless stated otherwise in the document itself. Quotations are based on the scope described at the site measure and on material prices current at that date.
The following principles apply to pricing:
- Fixed price items — cabinetry, labour, tip fees and specified finishes are locked once the contract is signed.
- Provisional sums — trades such as electrical and plumbing are quoted as estimates where the extent of work cannot be confirmed until the wall is opened.
- Material price rises — if a supplier increases prices by more than five per cent before order placement, we will discuss options with you before proceeding.
- Variations — any change to the scope must be approved in writing before the additional work begins.
Payment Terms and Scheduling
Unless otherwise agreed, payments are structured as follows:
- A booking deposit is payable on contract signature to reserve your spot in the schedule and to commence material ordering.
- Progress payments are invoiced at agreed milestones, typically after demolition, after cabinetry installation, and after benchtop fitment.
- The final balance is due within seven days of practical completion and handover.
Invoices are issued by email and are payable via bank transfer or the payment method nominated on the contract. If a progress payment is not made by the due date, we may pause work on site until the account is brought up to date. Extended delay without communication may result in the job being rescheduled to a later date.
Site Access and Client Responsibilities
Renovation work requires regular and safe access to the property. As the client, you agree to:
- Provide clear access to the work area during agreed working hours, typically 7 am to 5 pm on weekdays.
- Remove valuables, furniture and personal items from the rooms in scope before demolition day.
- Ensure any pets are secured while trades are on site.
- Advise us of any known hazards, including asbestos, faulty wiring, or previous unapproved building work.
- Obtain any required strata or body corporate approvals before work begins.
If access is blocked on a scheduled day, we may need to reschedule, and a reasonable attendance fee may apply to cover the wasted crew time.
Variations, Delays and Completion
Building work is subject to factors outside anyone's control, such as weather, supplier lead times and concealed damage discovered after demolition. Where a variation is required, we will provide a written price and revised timeline before proceeding, and no additional charge will be applied without your approval.
Practical completion occurs when the agreed scope has been delivered and the work is ready for use. Any minor defect or incomplete item must be recorded in writing at handover. We will rectify genuine defects within a reasonable timeframe, and the workmanship warranty stated in your contract will commence from the date of practical completion.
Liability, Warranties and Governing Law
Perknomad holds all required licences and insurance for residential building work in Western Australia. Our workmanship warranty covers defects arising from our installation, while manufacturer warranties apply to products supplied. The warranty does not extend to damage caused by misuse, neglect, unauthorised alterations, or normal wear and tear.
To the extent permitted by law, our liability for any claim is limited to the value of the affected portion of the work. Nothing in these terms excludes any right you have under the Australian Consumer Law or the Home Building Contracts Act.
These terms are governed by the laws of Western Australia, and any dispute will first be addressed through good-faith negotiation before either party pursues formal resolution.
