Green Star FAQs
Can I use 'For Construction' drawings in the As Built submission?
Yes. The GBCA requires evidence that the drawings supplied are as constructed, whether they have an ‘As Built’ stamp or not. 'For Construction' drawings are acceptable provided they are accompanied by formal confirmation from the head contractor or other relevant professional(s) that the For Construction drawings depict the site as-built conditions.
For warm shell delivery projects where tenants have made amendments to the original scope, the above is acceptable so long as the drawings are current and reflect tenant amendments to the original warm shell design.
Please note: this approach is distinctly separate from the Integrated Fitouts guidance in the Green Star - Design & As Built Fitout Scope document regarding 'Modified Warm Shell'. The Fitout Scope guidance allows project teams to provide 'make-good' drawings (the original Warm Shell design) where less than 25% of the floor plate is amended by the tenant. 'Make-good' drawings do not reflect amendments to the original warm shell design.
