Legal Risk Management For International Labour Organization

Scope of the Proposed Project

Discuss about the Legal Risk Management for International Labour Organization.

The construction business is a very important sector of the industry (Zunk et al. 2014). The projects in construction are one of the very efficient part of the business. The projects in constructions require proper support and initiative from the government and the contrition companies as well.

The project that was proposed, is documented in this report. The O’Rally Architects Company have been provided with the responsibility of renovating of the building (Laplume and Dass 2015).

The report contains the scope of the project that is proposed, the legislations that are involved with the proposed project. In addition to this, two from for the contracts have also been provided in the report. The report also discusses the risks that are involved with the contracts.

The objective of the construction project is to perform the construction work on the terrace of the building. The Terrace of the building is to be extended. The project constructor would be provided the laborers that he requires for the completion of the project. The document of the project in which the construction structures and the measurements are also provided to the constructor.  In addition to this constructor is required to complete the project within the budget allocated for the project. The allocated budget for the project is not to be extended. In addition to this there are two roads on either sides of the construction site. It is to be made sure that the roads are not damaged or blocked due to the construction work of the project. In addition to this the project would be completed in two steps. Firstly, the planning phase where the project timeline and the planning would be done. And secondly, the construction phase where the actual implementation of the project would be done. In addition, to this project should also compliance with the Australian legislations that are applicable for the project.

The project was involved with various legislations. They were:

• The Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act of 1999:- The Act is involved with the maintenance part of the environment (Ekroos et al. 2014). It maintains the sustainability of the environment. The act would be viable for the project as the construction industry needs adaptability to keep up with the changes in the environment. The industry must to harm the environment and the surroundings.
• The Commercial Building disclosure Act: – The Act is concerned with the efficiency of the energy that would be required for the project. The law is applicable only when the commercial area of the building that would be constructed is more than 200 sq. meters and is offered for sale or leasing. Under the act, the affected people and the sectors of the society that would be affected are listed. The project has roads on both sides of the building. Hence, it is manadatory that the project is compatible with this law.
• The Competition and the consumer Act 2010:- The Act is generally involved with the market sector of the project (Corones 2014). The relationship in between the suppliers, consumers, retailers and the wholesalers are complaint with this act. The main aim of this act is to enhance the welfare of the people residing in Australia by promoting the fair trading policies and the competition. There is also a provision made for the protection of the consumers, who are associated with the project. The act also covers the labeling of the projects and also includes the safety of the project, unfair prices in the market and also monitoring and regulating the prices of the industry. This act is applicable in this project, so that the budget of the project is, maintained properly.
• The Your home Act: – This is a legislation of Australia. It is used for renovating and buying the homes. IT basically provides the guidelines for these kind of activities. According to this act the building should be providing a healthier atmosphere, economical for running, adaptable to the changes. The law is applicable for the proposed project as the project is related with residential buildings. IN addition to this the law also sees to it that the industry does not cause any harm to the environment.
• The National House rating Energy Scheme:- This is a scheme provides estimations of the thermal performances of the residential buildings and provides ranking to them according to their performances (Dewsbury 2015). This ranking is applicable throughout the entire nation. The law is applicable in the project as the project deals with construction work and there are road on both sides of the project site.
• The fair work building and construction Act: – The act regulates the laws that are associated with the workplace in the building and construction industry (Capuano 2016). They provide the education, advice and the compliance activity. The act is to be applied in the proposed project as the education of the architects of the projects are to taken into consideration. The safety of the site and the workers that are associated with the projects would completely depend on the education of the architects. In addition to this the engineers advices are to paid heed as it would help in proper implementation of the project.
• Australian building codes board: – The board of council is responsible for the managing the maintaining and developing the codes and the standards of the national level for construction of the project. It also deals with the regulatory system development. It is also concerned with the uniform code that should be maintained by the workers and the engineers that are involved in the projects. The law is required for maintaining the safety of the organization.
• The Australian Paint Approval Scheme and Painting Contractor Certification Program:- This scheme provides the accreditation and the provides the lists of the industries that are concerned with the coating. This law can be applied to the proposed project as there is a painting section in the project. It can also highlight the sectors that the industry is prone to danger.  
• The national construction code: – The NCC is legislation of the Australian Government which handles the onsite building and the plumbing requirements (Webb and Lin 2015). According to the rule there is minimum requirement by the designs and performances about the construction that they have to meet. This rule s across the whole country. The rule can be applied for the proposed project in the sector of the design and the planning of the project.
• The Australian council of procurement and construction: – The council is responsible for the procurement and management policy of the assets. The council consists of 11 member and they manage the design, procurement and the management of the project. The law is to be applied in the proposed project as it deals with the construction activities. For the project to proceed further it requires approval of this council.

The two forms of contract that can be used for this project are:

• The Australian Building Industry contract: The contract was develop by the Royal Australian Industry of Architecture (Kassem et al. 2015). The constrains, that are associated with this contract are that the maximum profit obtained by the contractor can be regulated accordingly. The regulations are judged according to the differences in the performance of the contractor and the sum that would be provided. If the performance of the contractor exceeds the expectation then the contractor is liable to receiving payment in excess of the provisional amount.
• Cost plus Contract: The contract is associated with the payment of the costs that is incurred actually in purchasing or other building expenses (Gagnepain, Ivaldi and Martimort 2013). The contract contains pre negotiable such as the contractor’s overhead cost and the profit gained by him. In addition to this cost is classified into direct or indirect costs.

The risk that are associated with these contracts are:

• Firstly, The Australian Building Industry contract fails if the rate of the interest are not mention properly.
• Secondly, the cost plus contract are harder to track. So the contract needs an immense amount of supervision

Conclusion

For conclusion it can be said that the report describes the scope of the project successfully. In addition to this, the report also provides that legislations that are associated with the proposed project and also the forms of the contracts and the risk associated with them. In the construction project the buildings are to build following all the set of rules that are required to be followed in order to compliance with the building policies of Australia. I addition to this, the construction site has two roads on both its side so the contractor needs to keep in mind the environment and the surrounding of the construction site and see to it that no harm is caused due to the construction of the building.
