TECHNICAL REFEREE FORM

Part M: Technical Referee Report – class of Domestic Builder (limited to Carpentry) work

THIS DOCUMENT MUST BE COMPLETED BY THE PERSON PROVIDING THE REFERENCE

What is a Technical Referee Report? An applicant applying for registration in a category and class of building work must have recent experience in carrying out that work in accordance with relevant standards. The Technical Referee Report provides information about the applicant’s work, when it was performed, and the applicant’s role in performing that work. It is prepared by a person who has directly supervised the applicant in performing that building work.

The Victorian Building Authority (VBA) uses the report to help determine whether the applicant has sufficient experience to be considered for registration as a building practitioner.

Who can provide a Technical Referee Report? The referee must be able to verify the experience that the applicant lists in table 2 of their ‘Experience Statement’ (part L).

If the report relates to building work performed in Victoria, the referee should be registered in the category and class (or higher class) of building work for which they are providing the Technical Referee Report. If the applicant has not worked for a builder registered in this component of domestic building work, we will accept a technical referee report from a referee who is a site manager who is not a registered domestic builder but is reporting to a person who is registered as a building practitioner in the category and class (or higher class) sought by the applicant.

If the report relates to building work undertaken outside Victoria, and that

work is performed by registered persons, then the referee should be licensed or registered (or equivalent) in the category of building work for which they are providing the Technical Referee Report.

If the report is about work done interstate or overseas, and it did not require a person to be licensed or registered, then the referee can be a person who employed or contracted the applicant to undertake the work.

In addition, the referee must:

• be the person who was responsible for ensuring the work was completedto the appropriate standard. Typically this would be the applicant’semployer, supervisor, contract manager or site manager.

• have directly observed the applicant carrying out the work that is listedin the report.

What are my responsibilities as a Technical Referee? As a Technical Referee, you must:

• provide an accurate and true reference• NOT give any false or misleading statement or information

• be willing to be contacted by the Victorian Building Authority toconfirm or explain further the work that the applicant performed

• sign and date the Technical Referee Report Declaration.
