Description
What should go in them, what shouldn’t and why
This webinar is a practical look at what businesses involved in the construction industry should include in their contracts and terms of trade.
Terms of trade for companies in this sector cannot just be the ‘off-the-shelf’ terms of trade used for other industries. The construction sector has industry-specific legislation that imposes mandatory contractual requirements.
This webinar will be useful if you’re an adviser to SME businesses in New Zealand which are:
- Building companies.
- Trades subcontractors.
- Manufacturers and suppliers to the building industry.
- Related services like kitchen companies and heating installers,
The webinar will cover:
- The mandatory requirements for terms of trade in this industry;
- Common mistakes made in terms of trade; and
- How companies can use their terms of trade to improve profits and cash flow, and reduce risks; and
- What to include in terms of trade and contracts to cover off risks in a post-COVID world.
