including theft. Control delivery schedules to minimise long-term storage of products at site and over-
crowding of construction spaces. In particular, co-ordinate delivery and/or installation to ensure
minimum holding or storage times for products recognised to be flammable, hazardous, easily
damaged, or sensitive to deterioration, theft and other sources of loss.
B. Limiting exposure of work: to the extent possible, through control and protection methods, supervise
performance of work in a manner which will ensure that none of the work, whether completed or in
progress, will be subjected to harmful, dangerous, or damaging exposures during construction period.
C. Cleaning and protection of finished work. General: during handling and installation of work as project
proceeds, clean site and protect work in progress and adjoining work on a basis of perpetual
maintenance. Apply suitable protective covering on newly installed work where required to ensure
freedom from damage or deterioration at a time of Practical Completion; otherwise, clean and perform
maintenance on newly installed work as frequently as necessary throughout remainder of construction
period. Adjust and lubricate operable components to ensure equipment operates as intended.
44. General Product Compliance

A. Provide products which comply with requirements, and which are undamaged and unused at time of
installation, and which are complete with accessories, trim, finish, features required by regulation, and
other devices and details needed for a complete installation and for intended use and effect.
B. Standard products: where available, provide standard products of types which have been produced and
used previously and successfully on other projects and in similar applications.

C. Continued availability: where additional amounts of a product, by its application, are likely to be needed
by principal at a later date for maintenance and repair or replacement work, provide a standard,
domestically produced product which is likely to be available to principal at such later date.
D. Manufacturer’s recommendations: where installations include manufactured products, comply with
manufacturer’s current and applicable recommendations for installation, to whatever extent these are
more explicit or more stringent than applicable requirements indicated in contract documents.
At completion of project, provide to the architect a copy of each set of manufacturer’s recommendations
which have been used in the work of each trade.
E. Manufacturer’s data sheets: where this specification requires, obtain 2 copies of the current data sheets
issued by the manufacturer of specified component. Retain 1 copy for use on site and submit the other
to the architect as a record of instructions followed on the site.
45. Builder’s Quality Control

Compliance with Australian Quality Standards: in clause 104 of most trade sections, there may be reference to
compliance with Australian Standards for Quality Systems.
A. Inspect each item of materials or equipment immediately prior to installation and reject damaged or
defective items.
B. Provide attachment and connection devices and methods for securing materials properly as they are
installed, true to line and level, and within recognised industry tolerances unless otherwise indicated.
Allow for expansion and building movements. Provide uniform joint widths in exposed work, organised
for best possible visual effect. Refer questionable visual effect choices to the architect.
C. Re-check measurements and dimensions of the work as an integral step before starting each
installation.
D. Install work during conditions of temperature, humidity, exposure and weather which will ensure the best
possible results for each part of the work, or component or treatment as necessary to prevent damage
and deterioration.
E. Co-ordinate enclosure and closing-in of work with required inspections and tests, so as to avoid
necessity of uncovering work for that purpose.
46. Occupational (Workplace) Health and Safety

Be responsible for the maintenance of a satisfactory safety system on site. Ensure Risk Assessments are
made and amended as conditions change and prepare appropriate Risk Management Statements that fully
comply with relevant workplace regulations. Provide evidence to the architect of full compliance with the
provisions of the relevant state health and safety act, and that all relevant documents are approved by
Workcare representatives. It is the responsibility of the contractor and sub-contractors to use the safety
equipment and procedures as required by law.
Refer 00819 OHS & ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS.
47. Material/Colour Selections

A. The architect will prepare a master Colour Schedule indicating the required colour, finish, pattern,
material, texture and other pertinent information in connection with interior and exterior finishes.
B. Submit colour chips for items having colour unless otherwise directed or approved by architect.
C. To facilitate the preparation of such a schedule, submit within 15 days following date of award of
contract, unless otherwise extended by the architect, the names and products of those manufacturers
whose products are proposed for use within the framework of the specifications wherever colour, finish,
pattern, texture and other related information is a consideration.
48. Miscellaneous Completion Procedures

A. Removal of protection: except as otherwise indicated or requested by architect, remove temporary
protection devices and facilities installed during course of the work to protect previously-completed work.
Where secured to exposed-to-view new work or existing to remain, remove evidence of protection
devices. Remove protection within 5 days before Practical Completion.
