The certification process for building approval is a crucial step in ensuring that your project complies with all relevant building codes, regulations, and standards. It involves a series of assessments, inspections, and approvals to confirm that the building design and construction meet the required safety and quality standards.
✔ Planning and Design: Before applying for building approval, architects and engineers create detailed plans and designs for the proposed building. These plans should comply with local building codes and regulations. WTSP has relationships with designers and engineers that we work alongside to ensure a smooth process for all.
✔ WTSP then engage a Private Certifier to ask for advice around the build.
✔ Submission: Once the PC (Private Certifier) has been engaged, I complete an application which is submitted to the PC.
✔ The application typically includes detailed plans, engineering calculations, and other necessary documents.
✔ Review: The PC reviews the application to ensure it complies with zoning regulations, building codes, and other relevant laws. This may involve multiple rounds of revisions and clarifications.
✔ Assessment: Once the application is deemed complete, it undergoes a thorough assessment. This assessment includes reviewing structural designs, fire safety measures, accessibility, environmental impact, and more.
✔ Approval: If the PC is satisfied that the proposed construction meets all requirements, they grant building approval. This approval may be conditional, with specific requirements that must be met during construction.
✔ Inspections: Throughout the construction process, building inspectors from the local authority or a private certifier visit the site at various stages to inspect and verify that the work aligns with the approved plans and meets safety standards.
✔ Compliance: Contractors and builders must make any necessary adjustments to ensure compliance with the approved plans and any additional conditions set forth during the approval process.
✔ Final Inspection: After construction is complete, a final inspection is conducted to ensure that the building fully complies with all approved plans and regulations.
✔ Occupancy Certificate: If the building passes the final inspection and meets all requirements, an occupancy certificate or final certificate of approval is issued. This certificate allows the building to be occupied or used.
✔ Post-Approval Obligations: Property owners are typically responsible for maintaining the building in compliance with building codes and regulations throughout its life.
✔ Records: All documentation related to the building approval process, including plans, inspections, and certificates, should be properly archived and kept for future reference.
By engaging centre management and various engineers simultaneously, you ensure alignment and coordination among different aspects of the project. This minimises conflicts, discrepancies, or delays that might arise if approvals were sought separately or sequentially.
In my capacity as a Project Manager, I hold a pivotal role in the oversight and management of the project budget from inception to completion. Proficient budget management is vital to maintain financial alignment and allocate resources efficiently.
From budget initiation and cost estimation to continuous financial monitoring and prudent cost control measures, I work diligently to safeguard the project’s financial integrity while upholding transparency and accountability and keeping all parties across any variations.
The Project Manager’s role in the procurement of client-supplied items for a retail fit-out is multifaceted.
It involves careful planning, coordination, quality control, and effective communication to ensure that these items are seamlessly integrated into the project, contributing to its success while maximizing cost-efficiency.
I work within the clients and designers plans to procure certain items and then work with the Shopfitter and there schedule, to ensure items arrive on time but also, that they don’t arrive too early giving potential for the items to get damaged or lost.
