Terms & Conditions

1. Scaffolding & Fencing Hire Terms

• Hire Period: The hire period begins on the day the scaffolding or temporary fencing is installed and signed off with a handover certificate. Standard hire durations are specified in your quote (typically 4, 8, or 12 weeks).
• Extensions: Hire extensions will automatically be charged on a weekly pro-rata basis if the equipment is required on-site past the standard agreed hire period. Please notify us at least 7 days prior to your hire end date.
• Equipment Ownership: All scaffolding tubes, couplers, boards, stairs, and mesh fencing remain the absolute property of Tri Build Projects Pty Ltd.

2. Safety & Compliance (Workplace Health & Safety)

Scaffolding safety is highly regulated under NSW law. You must strictly adhere to the following safety rules:

• Strict Modification Ban: Under SafeWork NSW guidelines, you must NOT modify, alter, adjust, dismantle, or interfere with any erected scaffolding structure. Any alterations must be carried out exclusively by a licensed scaffold erector employed by Tri Build Projects.
• Safety Handover: Upon erection, we will inspect the scaffold and issue a Handover Certificate. The scaffold must not be used unless a current green handover tag is displayed.
• Site Inspections: Under WHS regulations, scaffolds must be inspected by a competent person every 30 days. We will coordinate with you to carry out these scheduled safety checks.

3. Site Access & Delivery

• The client must ensure safe, clear, and unobstructed access to the site for our transport vehicles and riggers.
• The site ground must be stable, level, and capable of supporting scaffold base plate loads. We are not liable for any surface damage caused by standard base plate positioning.
• Any council permits, lane closure licenses, or powerline clearances required for scaffolding erection are the responsibility of the client unless specifically outlined in our quote.

4. Payment & Cancellation

• Payment Terms: Payments are due in accordance with the payment schedule outlined on your quote/invoice (e.g. deposit before delivery, balance post-erection). Outstanding balances may incur interest charges.
• Cancellations: Cancellations made within 48 hours of scheduled delivery/erection may incur a cancellation fee to cover labor and transport bookings.

5. Liability, Loss & Damage

• The client assumes full responsibility for all hired equipment while it remains on their site. Any loss, theft, or damage (including paint spills or mortar residue exceeding normal wear and tear) will be charged to the client at full replacement value.
• Australian Consumer Law (ACL): Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any consumer guarantees or rights under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) that cannot be legally excluded.

6. Governing Law

These Terms and Conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New South Wales, Australia. You submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales.
