Learn about Building & Construction
Building & Construction includes professionals whose work establishes the site and completes the building fabric, such as excavating contractors and bricklayers. In Australia, local climate and applicable National Construction Code requirements influence material selection and detailing. Excavating contractors need information about ground conditions and existing services before work begins; bricklayers need footing details and a programme that allows masonry to follow the structural work.
Building & Construction professionals
Steel building construction requires coordination between the frame and the materials attached to it. Cladding professionals need fixing details that account for the substrate and weather exposure. Insulation suppliers and installers can help resolve how insulation fits around structural members, where gaps can reduce thermal performance. Electrical work also needs to be coordinated before wall linings close off access.
How does design build construction affect the contract?
Design and construction sit under one agreement, so check which design services are included and who coordinates specialist trades. Record how changes to the drawings will affect the price and programme.
How should building and construction work be scheduled?
Ask the contractor to identify work that must be completed or inspected before the next trade starts. Allow for material lead times and keep delivery dates aligned with site access.
What credentials should a specialist contractor hold?
Check the licence or registration required for the particular work with your state or territory regulator. Request evidence of relevant insurance and experience on projects with similar construction details.
