See commercial roofingWho it is for
Built around the site.
Strata and owners corporations
Work the committee can read and approve.
Common property, exteriors, roofs and stairwells. Many owners share one building, so the scope must be clear. A written scope is easier for a committee to approve. Tell us what the work covers and who signs off.
Send the scopeProperty and facility managers
One request. The whole scope.
Tell us the site, the scope, the access and the hours the building is open. Say if tenants stay in during the work. Say if the site has its own induction or safety rules.
Send the scopeRetail and hospitality
Plan the work around your trading hours.
Shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs. Tell us the hours you trade and the hours you are closed. Work after close or at weekends can be part of the plan. Say so in the request.
Tell us the jobOffices
Work that fits around the working week.
One floor, one tenancy or the whole building. Tell us when staff are in and when the floor is empty. Say if lifts, loading docks or parking need booking.
Tell us the jobWarehouses and industrial
Big roofs, high walls, working floors.
Warehouses, factories and yards. Height and access shape the job. Tell us the roof type, the wall height and when the floor is clear of forklifts and staff.
Tell us the jobSchools and childcare
Work that fits the school year.
Classrooms, halls and roofs. Many schools plan work for the holidays. Tell us which weeks suit and which buildings are in use. Say if the site has its own safety rules.

Before you send
What to put in your request.
The more you tell us, the clearer the scope. You can leave out what you do not know.
- The type of site, and the suburb.
- The trade, and what the work covers. Rooms, floors, walls, roof or square metres.
- Inside, outside or both.
- Access. Height, lifts, scaffolding and how to get on the roof.
- When the site is open, and when work can happen.
- If tenants, staff or customers stay in during the work.
- The date the work must be done by.
- If it is a tender, the closing date.
- Site rules, such as an induction or a SWMS for high risk work.
- If the building is from before 2004, say if it has an asbestos register.
- Any specification, colour schedule or drawings you have.

Questions
Good questions.
Can the work happen after hours or at weekends?
You can ask for it. Pick the hours in the form. Night and weekend work change the plan, so it helps to say early.
What is a SWMS, and when is one needed?
A SWMS is a safe work method statement. It is needed before high risk construction work starts. Work with a risk of a fall of more than 2 metres is one example. Ask to see it.
Who is responsible for safety when several businesses share a site?
Every state and territory has work health and safety laws, and Victoria has its own OHS laws. Businesses that share a duty must consult, co-operate and co-ordinate with each other.
Can one request cover several sites?
Yes. Pick multi-site in the form. List each site and its suburb in the scope.
Can I send a request for a tender?
Yes. Pick yes for tender and put the closing date in the scope. In preview, no business sees it yet.
Does an older building change the job?
It can. Asbestos has been banned in Australia since 31 December 2003, but older buildings may still contain it. If the site has an asbestos register, say so in the request.
Who sees my request?
Only House Proud Commercial. Your request goes into a private store. While we are in preview, no business gets it.
