LICENSING & TICKETS

Licensing Tips & TrapsUnless you are an employee you can only do building work for others if you have a current and valid building work contractor’s licence that entitles you to do that work. This is true even if:

• You have a supervisor’s licence.• You aren’t actually “on the tools” but are still causing or organising the performance of building work.• You’re a subcontractor rather than an employee.

If you do business through a company then your company will need a contractor’s li-cence too. If you don’t have your licence in order you may be breaching the Building Work Contractors Act. This can potentially:

• Lead to an investigation by Consumer and Business Services and end in a prosecution under the Act. A first offence can incur a maximum penalty of $50,000 for individuals and $250,000 for companies.• Make it harder to get paid for your work – you may need to go to Court. Consumer and Business Services have highlighted their intention to focus on appropriate licensing over the next 12 months, so we urge to ensure that you are appropriately licensed for the work you are undertaking to avoid any penalties.

Master Builders SA membership team are here to help and we can assist you in applying for your licence, giving guidance on the appropriate training courses to complete and compiling the information you need to provide to Consumer & Business Services. Please give the team a call on 8211 7466 or email [email protected].

UNDERSTANDING CONTRACTSThe construction industry is notorious for protracted negotiations of contracts, sometimes resulting in work starting before the contract is agreed. We look at how to know whether a contract has formed and consider the role of offer and acceptance in the formation of contracts.Often there is a dispute as to what documents are included within the contract. We examine what documents should be incorporated into the contract and how that should be done.Even if the contract is written and signed, parties often argue about the meaning of the terms of the contract. We look at how terms should be interpreted and what documents are able to be used to explain the meaning of the contract. We discuss the tendering process and the risks associated with incomplete or preliminary information being provided as part of the request for tender.

PURPOSEThe Language, Literacy and Numeracy (LLN) Policy is to ensure that educational programs developed by Master Builders SA (MBASA) are in accordance with language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the Building and Construction Industry.

MBASA courses are designed to reflect the Language, Literacy and Numeracy (LLN) skill level required for the performance of the tasks in the workplace and will not exceed these expectations. Care is taken not to employ assessment strategies that rely on numeracy and literacy skills where they are not intrinsically required.

The aim of this policy is to ensure that Language, Literacy and Numeracy (LLN) needs identified in each MBASA Course are developed into the training materials and assessment activities. It also aims to give the Trainers information on how to identify students that may be experiencing difficulties in class with their LLN and to provide the necessary information for next steps.

DEFINITIONSLLN in the Building and construction industry

Language means the words, verbal structures and gestures we use to convey meaning. This includes communication forms such as speaking, listening, reading, writing and visual communication. Language also encompasses broad groupings and industry-specific jargon, acronyms and technical references. These can change and evolve over time. The value placed on the different communication forms of language will vary.

Language conventions and features in the Building and Construction industry include industry-specific vocabulary, grammar, spelling, punctuation, text types and structures in spoken and written modes. Communicating for particular purposes may include pictorial sketches, working drawings, verbal descriptions of construction procedures, material lists, risk assessments and equipment-operating procedures.

Literacy means being able to read and use written information. The information and ideas that make up Building and Construction Skills are communicated in language and texts. It also means being able to contextualize you’re writing in an appropriate way. Literacy involves synthesising speaking, listening and critical thinking with reading and writing. Literacy skills allow us to interact effectively with one another. Literacy requirements change over time, so we need to continually adapt and extend our literacy skills. The Dept of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations defines literacy as ‘… the ability to read, write, speak and listen to language in a way that allows people to communicate with each other and to make sense of the world.’

Numeracy in Building and Construction SkillsNumeracy means the practical application of mathematical skills to absorb, use and critically evaluate information in numerical or graphical form. Numeracy skills include basic number skills, spatial and graphical concepts, the use of measurement and problem-solving. Numeracy and literacy are interlinked particularly when extracting mathematical information from written text. The Dept of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations defines numeracy as ‘… using mathematics effectively to meet the general demands of day to day life at home, at work and in society generally.’

Workers in the Building & Construction sector use numeracy strategies in:

• Identifying specific mathematical information

• General mathematical knowledge and problem-solving processes

• Communicating and representing the language of numeracy
