Tendering

If you’re a building contractor or other type of building industry participant that can be required to comply with the Code by section 34 of the BCIIP Act, then you become subject to the Code from the first time you submit an expression of interest (EOI) or tender (howsoever described) for Commonwealth funded building work on or after 2 December 2016. This makes you a ‘code covered entity’.

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.

The Building Code 2013 continues to apply in relation to building work to which it applied immediately before 2 December 2016. To find out which Building Code applies to you, use our Building Code assessment tool.
