## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

A person who has undertaken the work or the supply is entitled to a progress payment, unless one of the two exceptions applies.

- What the AI does: From the contract, note whether the person has undertaken to carry out construction work or to supply related goods and services. List any file note that the contract is said not to comply with the home building provisions the section names. Do not decide the entitlement.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides whether the contract is a construction contract and whether either exception applies.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. A person who, under a construction contract, has undertaken to carry out construction work or to supply related goods and services is entitled to receive a progress payment.
2. There is no entitlement if the construction contract does not comply with the Home Building Act 1989, section 4, as subsection (2)(a) names it.
3. There is no entitlement if the contract involves construction work that is residential building work done in contravention of the Home Building Act 1989, section 92.
4. Those Home Building Act sections were not opened. The lawyer decides whether either exception applies. The note does not define construction work or related goods and services.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
