Roofing contract, 41 Ellery Parade tile roof replacement

Roofing contract template with a materials table and a weather rule

A roof replacement is the one job where the house is open to the sky at the end of the day, so the clause that matters most is the one about closing it. This contract limits how much roof can be stripped at once, names every product with its warranty years, and says who pays when water gets in.

3.2
Claims and payment
Each stage is claimed by a payment claim stating that it is made under the Building Industry Fairness (Security of Payment) Act 2017 (Qld). The Owner pays the claim or gives a payment schedule saying why less is payable within the time that Act allows. No deposit is taken before work starts.
3.3
Batten and rafter allowance
An allowance of 30 battens and 4 metres of rafter repair is included. Anything beyond it is charged at $18 a batten and $110 a metre of rafter, photographed before it is covered, and approved by the Owner in writing before it is done. Unused allowance is not credited because it is already priced into the rate.
4. Weather, tarping and programme
4.1
Never more roof open than can be closed
The Roofer strips only the area it can sarken and batten the same day, and never leaves the dwelling open overnight. At the end of every working day the open area is either battened and sarked or fully tarped, with the tarp weighted and tied, not just laid over.
4.2
Rain
Work stops when rain is falling or forecast at 60 percent or more for the afternoon, and the roof is closed before the crew leaves. The Roofer checks the Bureau forecast each morning and tells the Owner by 7 am if the day is off. A rain day moves the programme by one day and is not a delay claim by either side. The programme is scaffold up 16 November, strip and sark to 19 November, tiling to 25 November, pointing and flashings to 27 November, and handover 1 December, working 7 am to 4 pm on weekdays.
4.3
Water entry
If water enters the dwelling during the works and the roof was not closed as clause 4.1 requires, the Roofer pays for the drying and the repair of any damage. If the roof was closed and an extreme event still drove water in, the Owner claims on its own building insurance and the Roofer assists with the report.
5. Safety and the site
5.1
Work at height
Work on the roof is high risk construction work, so the Roofer prepares a safe work method statement for it before starting, keeps it on site, and works to it. Edge protection or a harness system is in place whenever anyone is on the roof, and the scaffold is inspected and tagged before first use. The drop zone below the roof edge is barricaded while stripping and loading are happening, and the Owner keeps children and pets inside during working hours.
5.2
Insurance
The Roofer holds public liability cover of $20 million, workers compensation as required by law, and the statutory home warranty insurance for this contract, and gives the Owner the certificates before work starts. The Owner keeps its home building policy current through the works.
6. Handover, defects and ending
6.1
The last day, and the ten years after it
On the last day the Roofer walks the site with the Owner, cleans the gutters, runs a hose test over the valleys and both chimney flashings, and hands over the warranty paperwork, the product registrations and a photograph set of the battens and sarking before the tiles went on. A defect notified in the 10 year workmanship warranty period is inspected within five business days and rectified within 15, at the Roofer's cost, and the statutory warranties for domestic building work and the consumer guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law are not limited by this contract. Either party may end this contract if the other is in serious breach and has not fixed it within 10 business days of written notice, and the Roofer is then paid for work properly carried out and for materials on site. A payment dispute may go to adjudication under the security of payment legislation, anything else goes to the Queensland Building and Construction Commission before proceedings, and this contract is governed by the law of Queensland.

Clauses in this document

How to adapt this agreement

For a metal re roof, replace the tile and pointing rows with sheet profile, gauge, fixings and insulation blanket, and add a clause on thermal expansion and fixing pattern. For a repair or a restoration rather than a replacement, delete the strip scope and the batten allowance, and replace them with a defect list by location with a price against each, because a restoration is a list of small jobs rather than one big one. For a commercial roof, add roof access and permit requirements, a clause on working over an occupied tenancy, and progress claims against a programme instead of three stages.

Which law the terms follow

The job is in Queensland, so payment claims run under the Building Industry Fairness (Security of Payment) Act 2017 and the licence is a QBCC licence. Roof work is high risk construction work under the model work health and safety laws, which is why a safe work method statement is required before the job rather than written up afterwards. The statutory warranties for domestic building work under the Queensland Building and Construction Commission Act 1991 and the consumer guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law both apply and are not limited by this contract. Home warranty insurance is taken out by the roofer, and GST is added at 10 percent on a tax invoice carrying the ABN.

What makes this document work

The roof cannot be left open overnight

Clause 4.1 says the roofer strips only what it can sark and batten the same day, and every open area is battened or fully tarped, weighted and tied, before the crew leaves. Clause 4.3 then says who pays if water gets in anyway.

Every material carries a brand and a warranty

Six rows name the tile, sarking, pointing compound, valleys, flashings and battens with 50, 15, 10 and 20 year warranties. A substitution needs written agreement to an equal or better product with at least the same warranty.

The batten allowance has unit rates behind it

Thirty battens and four metres of rafter repair are included, and anything beyond is $18 a batten and $110 a metre, photographed before it is covered. That is the clause that stops a roof replacement quietly doubling.

Questions people ask

What should a roofing contract include?

The scope of the strip and the re roof, the materials by brand and warranty, the contract sum and how it is claimed, an allowance for battens and rafters, a weather and tarping rule, height safety, insurance, handover and the defects warranty. All of those are numbered clauses here.

What happens if it rains during a roof replacement?

Work stops when rain is falling or forecast at 60 percent or more for the afternoon, and the roof is closed before the crew leaves. A rain day moves the programme by one day and is not a delay claim by either side, so nobody is penalised for weather.

Who pays if water damages the ceiling?

It depends on whether the roof was closed properly. If it was not closed as clause 4.1 requires, the roofer pays for the drying and the repair. If it was closed and an extreme event drove water in anyway, the owner claims on its building insurance and the roofer helps with the report.

How long should a roof warranty be?

Separate the two. Product warranties come from the manufacturer, and here they run from 10 years on the pointing to 50 on the tiles. Workmanship is the roofer's own promise, and this contract sets it at 10 years covering leaks, lifted tiles, failed pointing and flashing failure.

Is roofing high risk construction work?

Work on a roof is, which is why clause 5.1 requires a safe work method statement prepared before the job starts and kept on site. Edge protection or a harness is in place whenever anyone is on the roof, and the scaffold is inspected and tagged before first use.

Other document examples

Plumbing works contract with a fixture scope table and a compliance certificate

A bathroom job goes over budget in the hour the floor comes up and somebody finds old cast iron drainage. This contract prices every fixture separately, holds a named allowance for what nobody could see, and makes the final payment wait for the compliance certificate.

Landscaping contract template with a plant schedule and an establishment period

A garden build is two jobs in one: construction that is finished when it is finished, and planting that is only finished three months later. This contract prices the construction in four stages, lists every plant with its pot size and quantity, and holds the landscaper to a 90 day establishment period for anything that dies.

Security services agreement with a roster table and licence checks

A guarding contract is really two promises: that the hours are filled and that the licence behind every hour is current. This agreement puts 154 hours a week in a roster table, credits unfilled shifts rather than invoicing them, and requires an incident report within two hours of the incident ending.
