Code and any building consents issued in respect of the Work.
3.2 We will remedy any defect in the Work which you notify to us in writing within 12 months of completion of the Work (if section 362Q of the Building
Act 2004 applies to the contract) or within 90 days of completion of the Work otherwise. Your notice must be sufficiently detailed to clearly identify
what Work is claimed defective. We are not liable for any defect within reasonable tolerances, failure to achieve standards of finish or detail beyond
what is required by the contract (subject to consents and Variations) and for any defect caused by or arising out of the actions of any p

time has elapsed and you have given us at least 20 Working Days’ notice of your intention to engage someone else. If you engage someone else to
rectify the defects when you are not entitled to do so, then without prejudice to our other rights and remedies, to the maximum extent permitted by
law, we will be immediately discharged from any further obligation or liability in respect to the Work.
3.5 These terms do not limit the implied warranties in s362I to s362K of the Building Act 2004.

4 Time to completion

4.1 Subject to receiving sufficient access as set out below, we will commence the Work on the Start Date, and complete the Work by the Completion
Date, in each case subject to any extensions of time to which it is entitled under 4.2 and 4.3. If it is necessary to work outside ordinary working hours
to meet your completion target or due to any other circumstances outside our control, you will be liable to any extra cost incurred.
4.2 We shall not be liable for any delay in carrying out the Work due directly or indirectly to circumstances reasonably outside our control,
including disputes with subcontractors, bad weather, force majeure, accidents, fire, shortage of labour and/or materials, labour disputes,
variations, failure of suppliers to deliver, or acts of any government, territorial authority or similar body.
