Requirements:

• Respondents must demonstrate experience in roofing with hand-split timber shingles.

• The project architect has specified Rose Sheoak (Casuarina torulosa) timber shingles. However, respondents are advised that this species is no longer harvested in Australia.

Eligibility:

• To be eligible to tender, respondents must demonstrate experience as a head contractor in timber shingle roofing or provide evidence of a nominated sub-contractor's experience.

• References and a portfolio of previous work must be provided.
