We do not license carpenters, waterproofing or bricklayers

20mpa anywhere concrete is poured

Board warping

The ncc vol 2 site prep the builder must provide draining system

How often to inspect – Footings, Frame, Final, and anywhere concrete is poured.

Biggest problem in building right now is leaking showers

Slab heave causes walls moving inside structure during winter and summer.

Must be constructed to the standard of As2870

First thing that is done is site classification based on soil, site reactivity
Cannot build on fill
Minimum kpa is 50, strength of soil, force per square meter of area

No clay sights in Melbourne, sand (S) starts around rosebud

E and P site engineer must design footing
If you have trees close to slab the surveyor should require the builder to install root barriers
Slab should be 100mm thick consists of stiffening ribs or beams, stiffen raft
Section 3 has our standard designs
Builder will fill footing with blinding concrete 200mm if rain overnight, not anything less than 20
mpa. Sometimes will be mandatory and shown on plan if site is highly reactive.

All masonry brickwork must be supported on strip or slab footings

500mm overlap bottom reinforcement

2 bar lap pre pour inspection of footing, 6m by 2.4m Rio sheet

piping needs to run middle third of edge beam between concrete and packing sand
100mm below finished floor level packing sand

hole depth minimum of 600mm deep stump

concrete on bottom of stump cannot be less than 150mm
minimum 400mm in hole

28 days before 20mpa

7 days for 10mpa

If you order 20 mpa from the plant, you are not allowed to add any water to it.

Concrete to be poured between 5 to 32 degrees

20, 25, 32, 40, 50 mpa levels

Builder can perform slump test

Vapour barrier must lap minimum 200mm and be taped with duct tape
Vapour barrier prevents damp inside the house

Minimum depth of a rebate is 20mm

30mm bottom requirement for Rio 20mm for top reinforcement from respective sides

Rio must be fixed to a point where it cannot be moved by concrete being poured

Waffle used for class M, not to use for class H

The top slab can be 85mm for a waffle

3wire 8mm trench mesh

Sl72 means 7mm at 200 spacing

Crucial to compact soil under waffle

Piers drilled footing in edge beam if waffle is used for anything other than class M

Reinforcement cover distance 40, 30, 20.

Delivery docket shows mpa, water added slump and aggregate test
Keep in mind stone size is important

1200 spacing drill holes piers to prevent moisture in soil being sucked up by trees
Tree roots within 10m need to be removed

Contour lines are the slope of the site

Cut and fill site to make level

Drill piers in middle of cut and fill to prevent slab cracking
Stormwater to go in before slab so that it is not undermined
On A site the sand must remain confined under the slab
Angle of reposed

Angle of proposed is dotted line

All retaining walls must have drainage systems built behind them
Every cubic metre of water weighs one tonne
No rubbish above plastic in trench
5.3 as2870
3.1.2, 3.2 stiffen raft and 3.4 waffle

The purpose of fibre mesh is to reduce water loss from the concrete as well as enhance its structural
integrity.

No cold joints allowed

Maximum beam spacing table add to checklist for both types

Be aware of 3.3.5.13

1200 by 450mm piers in ground to prevent soil moisture being sucked up by trees, 450mm size
Wall ties etc
Ground anchors distance between each other
