The new process.

Record of Work

A Record of Work is written by each Licensed Building Practitioner (LBP) that carried out or supervised each part of the RBW on the building. It details the work that was done.

You'll need to fill out the Record of Work when your part of the RBW is complete.

This must be given to the building owner and the local council. The building owner will need all the Records of Work from all the trades involved when they apply for a Code Compliance Certificate (CCC) from the council.

If there are lots of Carpentry LBPs doing Carpentry RBW, each of you will need to detail what you specifically did.

Supervision of Carpentry RBW

If you are supervising RBW, you provide direction and oversight of the carpentry work to make sure it is done properly and complies with the Building Code. To do this, you must be a Licensed Building Practitioner in the carpentry class. You will also need to sign a Record of Work stating you supervised Carpentry RBW and that the finished work complies with the Building Code.

You can only supervise and sign off Carpentry RBW if you are licensed to do so. Site LBPs cannot supervise or sign off RBW.
