- the name and licence number of the builder/trade contractor
- the address of the land where the building work is to be carried out
- the scope of the building work
- the commencement and completion dates and any grounds for extensions of time
- the amount to be paid for the contracted work (inclusive of GST), including details of the amount and timing
- any deposit and progress payments (where appropriate) – in addition to the final payment
