To put Zebra Tip #9 in a bit more in context “Look with suspicion on a contract with a low penalty for delay. The builder’s greatest weapon in a dispute is delay: take delays seriously as soon as they begin. They MAY be a warning sign”. Remember what you may fear may only occur or be relevant within the context of a dispute – and to ever collect on a delay penalty clause you will probably need to take legal action.
In the case of Zebra Tip #13 'HIA/MBA' are simply acronyms for 'an industry body' and there other bodies for which it may apply – not all are bad or irrelevant but they must be understood as self regulating INDUSTRY bodies there to protect the industry and not necessarily consumers.
