Frequently Asked Questions about NDIS Registered Building Works Managers and Complex Home Modifications
Simply put, this means that your NDIS building works manager is NOT the builder executing your home modification project, eliminating potential conflicts of interest.
At Restore Home Modifications, our team of NDIS-registered builders in Melbourne can either execute your home modification project, or supervise.
An NDIS Building Construction Practitioner supports you by helping get your project off the ground. Building Construction Practitioners support participants during the planning stage, taking on responsibilities such as:
- Vetting builders, contractors, and suppliers
- Providing costing and advice
- Reviewing and approving designs
By contrast, NDIS Registered Building Works Managers are responsible for overseeing and managing complex NDIS home modifications from start to finish. While this includes planning, it also includes project management, supervision, resolving issues, and final sign-off.
Complex NDIS home modifications refer to modification projects that
- Cost more than $20,000, or;
- Involve structural changes to your home
Modifications may also be considered complex when the modified area covers a large part of the home, or when the work is expected to take months.
Complex modifications are large projects that are very costly, substantial in scope, or high-risk. They may require building approvals or permissions, as well as electrical and plumbing certificates. Examples of complex NDIS home modifications can include:
- Enlarging rooms and widening doorways
- Accessibility ramp installation that costs over $10,000 and require a building permit
- Removing load-bearing walls
- Stepless shower base installation
- Full bathroom remodelling and expansion
- Installing height-adjustable kitchen benches
- Lowering benches and countertops
- Wheelchair platform lift installation
- Ceiling hoist installation
- Extensive plumbing and electrical work
- Uninterrupted power supply installation
For complex home modifications, the NDIS may provide funding for an NDIS Registered Building Works Practitioner. This is because complex NDIS home modifications are usually costly, substantial in scope, complicated, or high-risk. They frequently also involve multiple building practitioners and contractors.
An NDIS-registered building works manager can supervise complex home modifications, managing the project and ensuring it stays on-budget and is completed on time.
Yes. Any NDIS funding for building works managers is typically conditional on the provider being NDIS-registered. The benefit of this is that it ensures the provider meets specific quality and safety standards set by the NDIS, and can successfully oversee complex home modification projects.
No, that’s the job of your occupational therapist, who assesses your home and performs a functional capacity assessment that evaluates your abilities. Using this information, they can determine what type of supports you will need to meet your goals, with the exact amount funded dependant on the NDIA.
While our team may not be able to directly influence your NDIS funding, our team can speed up your funding application in other ways. As former allied health practitioners, our NDIS builders have a unique insight into funding categories, edibility criteria, and the applications process. We provide funding application support, working collaboratively with your occupational therapist to get your funding requests approved quicker.
