Explanatory notes
1
Potential implications are those implications which are not applicable at the time but
can reasonably be foreseen. An example is a presently undeveloped area that
current demographic and property development trends indicate is likely to be
developed in the next few years.
2
Performance of all outcomes is carried out in accordance with enterprises and
organisational standards and procedures unless otherwise stated. Enterprise and
organisational standards and procedures may include: quality assurance,
documentation, security, communication, health and safety, ethics, interpersonal
behaviour, and environmental and sustainability principles. An acceptable standard
would be comparable to ISO 9000 certified enterprises and organisations and those
set by an incorporated professional or trade body. Examples of such bodies are New
Zealand Institute of Architecture, Draughting Association of New Zealand, and
Architectural Designers of New Zealand.
3
Performance of all outcomes should be assessed within constraints normally
applicable to a commercial environment.
4
Performance of all outcomes complies with regulatory requirements of national
legislation, and territorial authority requirements applicable in any location; in
particular, legislation that has an impact upon the client's needs and requirements
such as the:
Health and Safety in Employment Act 1992;
Resource Management Act 1991;
Building Act 1991;
Human Rights Act 1993, and their subsequent amendments.
