Learn about Commercial & Specialist Contractors
Civil works and earthworks contractors deal with the ground and infrastructure that a building depends on. Their scope may extend beyond the building footprint to retaining structures or external pavements. Defining these boundaries helps distinguish a specialist work package from the responsibilities of the main building contractor.
Commercial & Specialist Contractors
The brief for commercial and specialist contractors should reflect the conditions of the site, not simply the finished design. Foundation specialists and drainage specialists need information about soil conditions and existing services to assess their work. Demolition works can also affect neighbouring structures, so surveys and engineering advice may be needed before a method is agreed.
What credentials should a demolition contractor provide?
Demolition licensing and asbestos removal requirements in Australia vary by state or territory. The credentials required for the proposed work should be checked with the relevant regulator, and evidence of insurance requested.
How can quotes for specialist work be compared?
Each contractor should identify exclusions and provisional allowances, particularly for rock excavation or disposal of contaminated spoil. Quotes should be compared against the same drawings and scope rather than the total alone.
Which records should be included at handover?
The work package should specify the records needed, such as drainage as-built drawings or piling installation records. Responsibility for supplying any required test results and certification should be agreed before the contract is signed.
