What's Residential building work?

Residential building work is any work involved in the doing or the supervision or the co-ordination of the construction of (or alterations, repairs or additions to, or protective treatment of) a dwelling.
A dwelling (ie. house, terrace, villa, home unit, etc) includes:
swimming pool or spa
garage, shed, cupboards, driveway, fence, and
various other structures prescribed by the regulations when they are constructed for use in conjunction with a dwelling.
A developer usually arranges for another party (licensed contractor) to do the residential building work.
The contractor (whether an individual, company or partnership) which carries out the building work is:
responsible for the entire project
subject to the licensing and insurance requirements of the Home Building Act.
