What if I bid for Commonwealth funded building work after 2 December 2016 and therefore become a code covered entity? Do my obligations change on my Building Code 2013 projects?

No. Your obligations on existing Building Code 2013 projects don’t change once you become a code covered entity. However, you’ll be required to comply with the Code on any new projects, including private projects that you express interest in or tender for after becoming a code covered entity.

I am a head contractor on a Building Code 2013 project. What happens if I engage subcontractors to undertake building work on that project after 2 December 2016?

Subcontractors who submit an EOI or tender for any project after 2 December 2016 become subject to the Code. This makes them code covered entities.

The Building Code 2013 continues to apply to you as the head contractor for the life of the project.

Where can I find further information on the interaction between the Building Code 2013 and the Code?
