INFORMATION IS POWER

The buying of or the building of a home is usually a one-off lifetime purchase. People are generally novices and must tread a path in an industry of which they have no prior knowledge or experience. They are not aware of the vagaries and pitfalls of the industry, the regulators and the tribunals that administer the legislation.

Building Consumer Affairs helps you to make up for any lack of previous experience by compiling all related information in one place!

Consumers can make more informed decisions which can reduce some of the inherent difficulties and complications that can befall them as they buy or build a home.

Consumer education and confidence can be quickly boosted, which could enhance their ability to make well considered decisions.

As building consumers become more educated this automatically raises the bar for industry, the regulators, the legal system and the policy makers.

Most of the action takes place in Melbourne as most of our contributors are based in Victoria. Whilst the states may have varying legislation the general principles are the same.

Anyone who is contemplating the purchase of a new home or build is likely to find something of interest in the library provided.
