We’re here to answer your BCRP questions

  • The BCRP serves as a transitional phase in your journey. Once you have demonstrated satisfactory competency after completing three (3) residential projects, HBCF will then waive further participation from the BCRP from your eligibility conditions.

    By engaging in the program, you’ll receive mentoring and guidance from our experienced architects. Our role as a BCRP service provider is to assess your ability and competency throughout your BCRP project. Compliance and building standard assurance with the code and building standards is ensured by engineers and PCA.

    As part of the BCRP program, the AAA will:

    • Review your project's contract documents to ensure your detailed budget includes a reasonable gross margin based on the project type, size, value, and other requirements.

    • Establish a schedule of performance reviews including on-site visits, to verify the appropriateness of your supervision, contract administration and site safety.

    • Monitor the project's adherence to budget and contracted completion date.

    • Conduct reviews and provide written reports on the progress and development of your competence in specific areas that have been assessed.

  • If you meet all other relevant financial and non-financial requirements for HBCF eligibility, you may find yourself obligated to participate in the BCRP under the following circumstances:

    • You have never undertaken the construction of a new single dwelling or alteration project for a homeowner.

    • You are proposing to take on a project that is larger or more complex than your current experience supports.

    • You have never contracted with a developer and completed a multi-unit project while serving as the key manager within a building business.

    As your BCRP service providers, we assess whether your budget and gross margins are reasonable to the project you are pricing.

  • BCRP participation is a requirement for your eligibility on each individual project that exceeds a specific contract price, typically set at $50,000 (including GST) or a higher amount, as determined by HSBC.

    However, contracts below $50,000 or any other prescribed alternative amount do not necessitate BCRP participation.

    Engaging us as your BCRP service provider is not mandatory for builders until a project requires a homeowner certificate of insurance. It is essential for builders to consider the potential cost of BCRP participation when preparing quotes or tenders for homeowners.

    Note that a certificate of insurance for projects subject to BCRP participation will only be issued once the BCRP service provider has provided approval for the first three components of the program (C123).

  • Over the past 18 months we have been working alongside Architects Advisory Association NSW in the BCRP. The way we have to complete 3 projects to a standard of competency, I believe this program gives more confidence in new building companies and through the program you have advisories to help if you come across any issues. I would like to thank Architects Advisory Association NSW who have helped me through this journey.

  • From the moment I engaged with AAA NSW for the BCRP, it was evident that they were dedicated to helping up and coming builders. They went above and beyond to understand my needs and my company's needs and tailored their experience and services to help me manage my first building project. Their timely and effective communication throughout the process left me feeling informed and confident and although we had some hurdles throughout the project, I was sure to rely on them for any support.

  • We have had the pleasure in dealing with Architects Associations as a service provider for BCRP. We have completed 2 jobs with them and both times they were instrumental in making ourselves more efficient on the job site, from running the jobs to the administration work in office relating to contracts and payments. As a carpenters turned builders, we weren’t accustom to a lot of the administration work behind the scenes of being a builder. With AAA NSW we felt fully supported and they were able share their vast knowledge and experience to give tips on areas where we could improve our efficiencies. In the end, it prepared us to be better builders now and in the future. We are about to do our 3rd job and will happily have them to be our BCRP service provider again.
