3 Design and procurement

Project Manager’s should discuss with architects/developers what

opportunities exist to design out waste and minimise use of natural resources.
Energy management is a priority and a summary of the University’s
requirements are in Appendix H. The EMP must be produced. The SWMP
should include details of decisions that impact on waste management,
including those on:

1. Materials use:

 Design specifications
 Materials used
 Method of construction
 Logistics (site layout/storage/delivery)

2. Approach to material resource efficiency:

7.4 Pre-construction

The SWMP must identify and record the amount of waste produced from
Decant and Demolition activities and include estimates of the amount of waste
to be managed.

7.5 Construction

The Principal Contractor is responsible for managing risk on the site and
updating the EMP and SWMP. These documents will form part of site audits.

7.6 Post construction/occupation

The Project Team should review the project and this should include:

 Completion of EMP and SWMP;
