Document Template for an As-Built Outcomes Schedule
Current at: 28 July 2010 (E)
Why Develop This Document Template?
The intent of the As-Built Learning Exchange (ABLE) Common Practice protocol is to resource work practices that deliver affordability, compliance and performance gains.
This document provides a template for nominating as-built performance, variance and reporting criteria that apply to specified building work descriptions to inform Owner decision-making and better manage building work expectations.
Where, When, and Who Can Use This Document Template?
Document templates can only be used in Western Australia and only apply for the Building Code of Australia Volume 2 for Class 1 and 10 Buildings (BCA).
Building Professionals are granted Open Exchange Use rights. Users accept the Conditions of Use that apply to all ABLE material.
How Should This Document Template Be Used?
Adapt and Then Adopt – just like the “beware of the dog” sign on the gate, better technical descriptions need to be approached carefully – they too can bite if not approached properly!
Document templates are intended to be reviewed and adapted to suit business compliance and workmanship choices before being adopted.
Nominal Building Work – working on-site has limitations. Whilst an as-built expectation can be described, it is likely there will be variance in the finished work – this is why specified building work descriptions are nominal. “Nominal” in this context means a specification of “work descriptions to which as-built finish, tolerance and/or other variances apply”.
It is intended that this document will be referenced by the Specification of Nominal Building Work and included as a contracting document.
As-Built Performance Schedule – the majority of selections are discretionary – they are not mandated by BCA compliance. This schedule nominates the post construction care and attention that will be required when surface finishes, appliances, fixtures are fittings selected by the Owner.
Descriptions differentiate between factory and site applied finishes, list degradation that is likely to happen over time, and outline the action manufacturer directions typically required.
This schedule also nominates post construction care and attention that the Builder has presumed will be undertaken when building systems form part of the Contract Work.
It is intended that new and/or amended descriptions will be added to the template as users who are willing to participate in the development of better common practice documents provide feedback to ABLE about maintenance issues that arise.
As-Built Variances Schedule – nominates the position from which as-built outcomes are determined and the finish, tolerance and/or other variances that apply when determining if the building outcome is as described.
It is intended that new and/or amended descriptions will be added to the template as users who are willing to participate in the development of better common practice documents provide feedback to ABLE about as-built variance issues that have arisen.
As-Built Inspection Reporting Protocol – nominates agreed building inspection parties and describes reasonable practice for reporting variance between nominal building work descriptions and as-built outcomes.
