Prepare and administer tender documentation for accessible building work
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
This unit of competency supports two access consulting services where there is a breadth, depth and complexity of tasks and often the requirement to make decisions and provide recommendations involving non-routine situations. These access consulting services are providing advice on building renovations and developing designs for accessible buildings.
This unit specifies the competency required to prepare tender documentation and administer the tendering process for accessible building work. The tender documentation must describe in detail all aspects of the intended construction methodology, materials and finishes. It must seek specific information on the time schedule, alternative materials, alternative methods, hourly rates for trades, progress payment timing and contract details. The tender documentation must seek a single price for the work being contracted, including, where appropriate, prices for prime cost items and prescribed sums.
Access consultants require a full understanding of contract law, in particular contracts associated with the building industry, and must be able to read and interpret building plans and construction drawings. They need to know the access requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) Premises Standard, the DDA Transport Standard, the DDA Education Standard, the Building Code of Australia and relevant Australian standards in order to prepare specifications documentation.
The unit requires the ability to communicate with builders, building developers, building owners and managers, renovators, interior designers and building designers on the interpretation of tenders and the implementation of contracts within the context of the DDA and building legislation.
