Terms & Conditions – One-Time Launch Offer

Eligibility

This promotional offer is available to the first five customers who meet the eligibility criteria and sign a formal building contract with Kastell Building Co. Eligibility is determined based on the date and time a signed construction works contract is received. This offer is valid from 09/02/2025 to 01/06/2025. The promotion applies exclusively to a construction works contract and does not include design-only contracts. Customers who transition from a design contract to a construction contract during the promotional period will be eligible.

Offer activation & application

• Signed Contract Requirement: The offer is available only once the signed construction works contract is received. The contract must be signed within 14 days from the date it is issued to be eligible for the discount.
• Transition from Design to Construction: Customers who enter into a design contract during the promotional period and subsequently transition to a construction works contract will be eligible for the offer, provided the construction works contract is signed before 01/06/2025.
• Quotes vs. Signed Contract: The discount applies only to the signed construction contract price. The promotion is not applicable to quotes, estimates, or informal proposals. Quotes and estimates are non-binding, and the offer will only be applicable to the price once the formal contract has been signed.

Project value

This offer is valid for cost-plus projects only with a total project value ranging from $50,000 to $200,000, excluding the builder’s margin. The total value is based on renovation-related costs, including labour, materials, and subcontractor fees, but excluding the builder’s margin. GST (Goods and Services Tax) is included in all costs.

For projects exceeding $200,000, the first $200,000 will qualify for the 5% builder’s margin (5.26% markup), while any amount above this threshold will be charged at the standard 25% builder’s margin (33.33% markup). Any changes to the original scope will also be charged at the standard margin.

Discount

The promotional offer provides a 5% builder’s margin (5.26% markup), applicable to the first $200,000 of the project. After this threshold, the standard 20% builder’s margin (25% markup) applies.
