Green Star FAQs
Are demolition or early works contractors included in Responsible Construction and Inclusive Construction Practices?
This FAQ was updated on 18/12/24 for clarity.
Yes, when demolition or early works contractors are under the head contract they are included in the scope for the Responsible Construction and Inclusive Construction Practices credits from Green Star Buildings v1.
Where they are separate contracts not in the scope of the head contractor or builder, demolition and early works contractors are not currently included in the scope.
The scope of the credits currently relates to construction works conducted by the builder or head contractor, and therefore works outside of contracted scope and completed prior to the head contractor taking possession of the site are not required to demonstrate compliance. GBCA encourages project teams to do so however.
This will be updated in a future version of the rating tool.
