Quality

The project brief specified detailed project outputs, including quality expectations. The brief was part of the Request for Proposal which detailed specifications and user requirements which were incorporated into the Project Agreement.

The project company is contractually obliged to satisfy the performance and functionality requirements, and provide a facility that is 'fit-for-purpose' at final completion.

Under the Project Agreement, an Independent Reviewer has been contracted to ensure that scope requirements, as outlined in the Project Agreement, are met. The independent reviewer is required to provide an endorsement on final completion, to ensure that the final design satisfies the project's objectives.

The project director also receives a separately commissioned report on construction status which is not tabled at the PCG meeting. This report was instigated by DHS to provide independent confirmation of the information provided by the builder and the project company, as assessed by the independent reviewer.
