## Checking plan

**Lawyer review required**

The responsible lawyer reviews the work against the instructions, sources and intended use.

- What the AI does: Draft the compliance schedule by comparing the contract clause by clause against the statutory requirements and the prescribed terms, list the mandatory terms that are absent or altered, and record the licence and insurance particulars against the work described.
- What the lawyer does: Confirm the work is residential building work and which contract provisions of the Act apply, check the licence and insurance against the register rather than against the contract, and advise on the enforceability consequence of each gap.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Confirm the instructions, the jurisdiction and the complete relevant material before starting.
2. Confirm the work is residential building work and which contract provisions of the Act apply, check the licence and insurance against the register rather than against the contract, and advise on the enforceability consequence of each gap.
3. Check the output against the source documents named in it before it is relied on.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
