Work Supervision
Why do you need a Work Supervisor?
A registered building work supervisor is a person who oversees the entire construction project from the beginning to the end.
It is mandatory to have an 83AB statement of compliance certificate signed by a registered building work supervisor or a private certifier who will verify that the construction was completed in accordance with the approved documents and all the necessary notification were provided during the construction. Therefore, even if you plan to take care of your construction project as an owner builder, it is very important that you have a building works supervisor involved with the project.
