To claim the credit as Non-Applicable in the submission, projects must provide photographic dated Google map images of the site, clearly indicating the location and boundary of site, at three separate times:
1. At a date prior to demolitions, showing all the original buildings and structures; and
2. At a date immediately after the buildings were demolished and removed; and
3. At the approximate (within 2-3 months of) the site handover date to the main contractor.
Projects must confirm what the official site handover date was to the main contractor, to be demonstrated in the submission via an extract from an official contract document.

In addition to redevelopments (where existing buildings and/or structures are to be retained within the new development), the IEQ-11 Hazardous Materials credit and compliance criteria is applicable where existing buildings and/or structures located on the project site are to be demolished within the scope of either the main contract, or as a separate demolition contract, for the project. In such cases, the comprehensive hazardous materials survey must be carried out on the project site prior to any demolition works commencing, and where hazardous materials are identified in buildings or structures proposed for demolition, the materials must be removed in accordance with the applicable standards. Projects registered prior to the date of this TC and projects where demolition commenced prior to the date of this TC may elect to include or exclude the aforementioned requirements. Projects registered after the date of this TC must comply with the aforementioned requirements unless demolition commenced prior to the date of this TC.
