Schreiber Hamilton Architecture

Schreiber Hamilton Architecture is an authorised service provider for the Home Building Compensation Fund's (HBCF) Building Contract Review Program. The Building Contract Review Program (BCRP) aims to assist new entrants to the building industry, as well as existing small to medium builders without demonstrated experience for proposed projects, to... have an opportunity of obtaining experience. The program is intended to review the competence of the builder to price and manage a project rather than ensuring compliance with building standards. The BCRP replaces the former Managed Builder Program (MBP). The BCRP is intended to be a transition phase and builders can apply in future to have the condition removed. It is expected that a new builder will participate at least three times in the BCRP before being permitted to contract for similar projects without the program. The reports issued by the BCRP service providers will be used during all Eligibility reviews. The participating builder will be provided with a copy of all BCRP final reports. The BCRP will be used in the following instances (where all other relevant financial and non-financial considerations are satisfactory): where the builder has never contracted and successfully completed a new single dwelling or alteration project for a homeowner; where the builder is proposing to contract a larger or more complex project than the builder's experience supports; where the builder has never before contracted with a developer and successfully completed a multi-unit project (as the multi-unit contractor or key manager within a building business). The BCRP is also appropriate where the Gross Margins of the builder are an issue of concern. The program can assist a builder to correctly price contracts and test actual cost against budget. Builders can choose a BCRP service provider that suits their needs from a panel of authorised service providers.
