True or False (only explain the "False" question)

21* The Construction Contracts Act 2002 was amended some while ago to say that all contracts toperform construction work are enforceable only if they are written

22*By the'contractual chain' if work is done by a subcontractor is defective, the subcontractor is inbreach of contract and is liable to the contractor for any loss caused to the contractor by thesubcontractor's breach. The contractor is in turn liable to the employer for any loss caused to theemployer by the subcontractor's breach.

23* There may be several 'links' in such a 'chain', for example the employer contracts with the contractorwhich subcontracts mechanical services to a subcontractor which subcontracts air conditioning to asubcontractor which subcontracts ventilation work to a subcontractor which subcontracts ducting to asubcontractor, which subcontracts the manufacture of the ductingto a subcontractor and installs theducting itself.

24* A project information memorandum [PIM] must contain special features of land to be built on,including without limitation, potential natural hazards, and the presence of all hazardous contaminants

25* A land information memorandum [LIM] will show for example whether rates are owing on property

26* Both PIMs and LIMs are documents created by the Building Act

27* The building code prescribes functional requirements for buildings and the performance criteria withwhich buildings must comply in their intended use

28* A person must not carry out building work except in accordance with a building consent but somebuilding work does not need a building consent

29* If a building does not need a building consent it does not have to comply with the building code

30* A building consent authority must grant a building consent if it is satisfied the provisions of thebuilding code would be met by doing the building work indicated by the plans and specificationsaccompanying the application, and assuming all fees are paid and other necessary approvals suchas may be required under the Resource Management Act had been obtained

31* The building consent authority must issue a code compliance certificate when it is satisfied that thework performs complies with the building code

32*If work has been already done for which a building consent was required, but not obtained, acertificate of acceptance can be applied for instead

33* A specified system is a system or feature contained in or attached to a building which contributes tothe proper functioning of the building and which is declared by the Governor-General by Order inCouncil to be a specified system

34* An automatic sprinkler system is not an example of a specified system

35* Any building with a specified system needs a compliance schedule

36* Not every building with an automatic sprinkler system needs a compliance schedule

37* For each specified system the compliance schedule sets out: its type, its make where known, itsperformance standards, and its inspection, maintenance, and reporting procedures

38* The Building Act recognises a cable car operating outside a building, with cables for traction to pullpeople or goods up inclined planes [fairly commonplace in Wellington] as being a "vehicle", and thebuilding it serves does not need a compliance schedule

39* Cable cars come within the definition of "building" under the Building Act 2004, both non-movingparts and moving parts when attached to or servicing a building

40* If a cable car serves or is attached to more than one building, each building it serves or is attachedtoneeds a separate compliance schedule
