(iv) Fibre-reinforced cement;
(v) Timber – naturally termite resistant (in accordance with AS 3660.1);
(vi) Timber – preservative treated.

16.4 Where the Client has supplied products for the Contractor to complete the Works, the Client acknowledges that it accepts responsibility for
the suitability of purpose and use for their products and the Intended Use and any faults inherent in those products. However, if in the
Contractor’s opinion, it is believed that the materials supplied are Non-Conforming products as per state regulations, then the Contractor
shall be entitled, without prejudice, to halt the Works until the appropriate conforming materials are sourced and all costs associated with
such a change to the plans will be invoiced in accordance with clause 8.3.
17. Title
17.1 The Contractor and the Client agree that ownership of the Materials shall not pass until:
