Pool Resurfacing Quotes and Contracts in Ballarat

What pool resurfacing quotes and contracts in Ballarat actually involves

Consumer Affairs Victoria says to use a major domestic building contract for all work worth more than A$10,000, including renovations, extensions and repairs. It says a practitioner must be registered with the Building and Plumbing Commission for work worth more than A$10,000 except for work involving only one of the listed trades, which include plastering and painting. Pool resurfacing is not on the list as we read it, and the page does not say whether it counts, so ask the provider which class it is registered in.

What a quote should say

Consumer Affairs Victoria says a quote, verbal or written, should be clear about what it covers and give a careful estimate of how long the work will take. It also says a tradesperson has a contract with the customer whether the agreement was verbal or written.

Asking for it in writing

Ask the provider to put in writing the preparation, the surface, the edges and tiles, how waste and wash water will be handled, and the dates. Ask too whether the quote assumes a permit answer, and get that answer from the City first, as the permit page explains.

These are Victorian lines, not Ballarat ones. The only Ballarat figure on the site is the City's pool registration cost, which is the owner's fee and not part of a quote.
