Project records and Project records questionnaire

The project records form asks you to describe your role in supervising the construction or alteration of moderately complex building projects.

How to choose appropriate projects

You must choose three recent projects you have worked on.

Project 1 must be current or very recent (completed within the last 2-3 years). You may be required to provide a site diary, photographs or other documentation for this project to support your application if requested by your assessor.

The Project records questionnaire asks you some detailed questions about your work on these projects. You must be able to answer all the questions, so please read through them before you choose your projects. You can use a different project for each topic - use the example below as a guide.

Example:

Use the table on page 7 to help you select the most relevant project for each topic as you work through the questions.

You should choose projects that demonstrate your skills and experience as widely as possible. The assessor will be looking for evidence of your technical knowledge of construction methods and practice and your ability to:

• set up a building site
• organise and supervise building projects
• supervise personnel
• provide technical supervision
• ensure health and safety
• ensure quality assurance.

Your referees will be asked to confirm the competence of your work on your selected projects.

Project records

Each project records form asks for:

Project name: This may be the name of a particular building (eg Pennzal House) or a name that the project is known by (eg Community complex, Virtue township).

Address of project: This should be the physical address (street address or lot number), not a postal address (eg PO Box).

Dates and times you were involved in the project: Put the dates and length of time you were involved on the project.

Project value: Give the approximate value of the project.

Client: This means the external client (ie the building owner or their representative).

Designer: Give the name of the architect/designer involved in the project.

Size, type and complexity of building: Briefly state the type of building (eg residential, commercial, historic place), the elements used (eg type of cladding, framing, roofing) and the approximate building size. There should be greater detail for more complex buildings.

What the work involved: Explain whether the project was a new construction, major renovation, change of use etc, and provide brief details of the scope of the work.

Types of subcontractors/consultants: List the types of subcontractors/consultants you were involved with in the project by role (eg roof truss supplier, steel fixer, HVAC contractor, pre-cast yard, joinery manufacturer etc) and describe how you were involved with them.

Role you played in the project: Describe your role and your level of responsibility for the project.

Who did you report to?/Types of tradespeople who reported to you: Describe who you reported to (the role, not the person's name), and list those roles that reported to you.

Describe the most challenging aspects of this project: Examples may include labour and personnel issues, late delivery of materials, weather conditions, site issues etc.

Note: Your assessor may ask your referees about any of the information you have provided in your project records, to confirm your competence in the work you have described.
