The building and construction industry is complex, with many competing requirements. In addition to the physical construction, there are a myriad of legal aspects that must be considered. The law applies to many areas, including the building contract, licensing, finance and insurance. There can be significant consequences for failure to comply with these laws.
Applicable legislation includes the following:
- Builder's licensing or registration
- Business registration and licensing
- Australian consumer laws
- Work health and safety legislation
- National Construction Code (NCC)
- Financial legislation
- Contractual legislation
- Industrial relations legislation
- Waste management and environment protection laws.
Strict compliance with these legislative and regulatory requirements and standards is critical to the success of building and construction projects. This module will discuss these legal and regulatory requirements from a practical perspective on how they are applied to building and construction projects.
