Use the official minor-works item catalogue
Similar work labels may correspond to different minor-works items. Describe the location, elements affected and proposed scope so an appropriate professional or registered contractor can check the official item descriptions and limits.

Prepare for your task
| Task | Information to have ready |
|---|---|
| Work category | Describe the actual category, such as windows, drainage, external finishes, removal or interior work, rather than giving only a general renovation label. |
| Location and elements | Identify the unit or common parts and affected elements, gathering existing plans, observable information and known dimensions; leave unknown details for professional checking. |
| Description and limits | Have the responsible professional check the item's description, class and limits, rather than applying a similar item's identifier automatically to another project. |
| Procedure and forms | After confirming the item, check appointments, contractor registration scope, notices and completion documents against the quoted scope of work. |
Scope and arrangements
- The minor-works system still has prescribed personnel, procedures and documents; it does not mean every small renovation can be undertaken independently.
- Elements, location and scope can place apparently similar work under different items. Check the actual project information.
