Extensions and renovations costing more than $10.000 require a major domestic building contract as per the Victorian building authority guidelines.

The builder is also required to provide domestic building insurance for any work that’s over $16,000 to cover the client in the event the builder disappears or becomes insolvent.

The builder must also provide a certificate of currency for the insurance before they can take a deposit and start building works or start any building maintenance
