Aged care facilities Building used in the provision or support of aged care facilities, excluding dwellings (e.g. retirement villages). Includes aged care facilities with and without medical care. Agriculture/aquaculture Buildings housing, or associated with, agriculture and aquaculture activities, including bulk storage of produce (e.g. shearing shed, grain silo, shearers’ quarters). Alterations and additions Refer to Type of Work. Alterations & additions to residential buildings Alterations and additions carried out on existing residential buildings, which may result in the creation of new dwelling units. See also 'Conversions, etc.' below. Building A building is a rigid, fixed and permanent structure which has a roof. Its intended purpose is primarily to house people, plant, machinery, vehicles, goods or livestock. An integral feature of a building’s design, to satisfy its intended use, is the provision for regular access by persons. Commenced A building is commenced when the first physical building activity has been performed on site in the form of materials fixed in place and/or labour expended (this includes site preparation but excludes delivery of building materials, the drawing of plans and specifications and the construction of non-building infrastructures, such as roads). Commercial Buildings primarily occupied with or engaged in commercial trade or work intended for commercial trade, including buildings used primarily in wholesale and retail trades, office and transport activities. Completed A building is completed when building activity has progressed to the stage where the building can fulfil its intended function. Completion Value The value of a building job including site preparation costs but excluding the value of land and landscaping. This may be an actual value (for completed work), or an anticipated value (for work yet to be completed). It is intended to be the final contract price or market value of the job when completed, or the best estimate of this quantity available. Conversions, etc. Refer to Type of Work. Dwelling unit A dwelling unit is a self-contained suite of rooms, including cooking and bathing facilities and intended for long-term residential use. Units (whether self-contained or not) within buildings offering institutional care, such as hospitals, or temporary accommodation such as motels, hostels and holiday apartments, are not defined as dwelling units. The value of units of this type is included in the appropriate category of non-residential building. Educational Buildings used in the provision or support of educational services, including group accommodation buildings (e.g. classrooms, school canteens, dormitories). Entertainment and recreation Buildings used in the provision of entertainment and recreational facilities or services (e.g. libraries, museums, casinos, sporting facilities). Factories Buildings housing, or associated with, production and assembly processes of intermediate and final goods. Health Buildings used in the provision of non-aged care medical services (e.g. nurses quarters, laboratories, clinics). House Refer to Type of Building. Industrial Buildings used for warehousing and the production and assembly activities of industrial establishments, including factories and plants. New Refer to Type of Work. Non-residential building Refer to Type of Building. Number of dwelling unit commencements and completions A residential building job may result in the creation of one or more dwellings. Multiple dwelling unit jobs can be buildings (such as apartment blocks) which contain several dwelling units, or a group of single dwellings (such as a project to build multiple houses to a subdivision). When a job commences all associated dwelling units are considered to have commenced in these statistics. Similarly, all dwelling units created by a job are considered to have completed when the job is completed. Progress on individual dwelling units are not tracked. Offices Buildings primarily used in the provision of professional services or public administration (e.g. offices, insurance or finance buildings). Other residential building Refer to Type of Building.
