While the Act imposes changes for the industry as a whole, the building control regime for higher-risk buildings are extensive. In this video Edwin Coe’s Head of the Construction, Brenna Baye, discusses the new ‘gateway’ regime – in particular Gateways 2 and 3 – and the impact they have on procurement and construction contracts. https://lnkd.in/eGhn48eC #construction #constructionindustry #constructionlaw #property #buildingsafety

🔧🚧 Safety Fact of the Day 🚧🔧 Did you know, according to the HSE, under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM 2015), all construction projects - including domestic client work - are legally bound to have a written construction phase health and safety plan? Yes, even your 'small' house extension! 🏡🛠️ The crucial role of the plan is to prevent harm to those who build, use and maintain structures. 🚧👷♂️ And remember, safety isn't just about ticking boxes.  It's about lives, livelihoods, and ensuring everyone can come home safe at the end of the day. Stay safe out there. 🚧 Reference: https://lnkd.in/ddykSM2R #SafetyFactOfTheDay #ConstructionSafety #CDM2015

🔧 Understanding the Authority of the Standards & Tolerances Guide The QBCC’s Standards and Tolerances Guide applies specifically to "building work" as defined under the QBCC Act and Regulation. It excludes non-building work like earthworks, electrical work, and flooring. The Guide aligns with key legislation, including the National Construction Code (NCC), Australian Standards, and manufacturer requirements, ensuring consistency with industry benchmarks. Importantly, the Guide supports builders, contractors, and homeowners by outlining general standards for domestic building work, aiming to reduce disputes over quality. This resource ensures clarity and fairness in setting expectations for quality construction across Queensland.
