What is the Home Building Act?
The Home Building Act 1989 is a foundational legislation that governs the residential building industry and specific specialised work throughout New South Wales (NSW), Australia.

Its primary goal is to guarantee that homeowners engage with licensed builders and qualified contractors, ensuring that construction work is executed with safety and expertise as top priorities.
