The AS 3600 Concrete code; AS 3600 2009 specifies minimum requirements for the design and construction of concrete building structures and members that contain reinforcing steel or tendons, or both; sets out requirements for plain concrete and pedestal footings.

Contains Deemed-to-Satisfy Provisions that are considered to be acceptable forms of construction that meet the requirements for complying with Parts H1 to H8 of NCC Volume Two.

Assists in understanding the energy efficiency provisions in NCC Volume Two that apply to houses.

The purpose of this guide is to provide an overview of how the BASIX engine works to estimate energy and water consumption in houses and apartments, and how these outputs can be used to inform design decisions.

This Policy is State Environmental Planning Policy (Sustainable Buildings) 2022. (NSW legislation.)

Explains how NatHERS assessments work and is an essential tool for NatHERS assessors.

NatHERS compliance pathway for energy efficiency.

Sets out (a) the requirements for the documentation of architectural, structural and construction information necessary for formwork design and construction; (b) architectural requirements and procedures covering the specification of the quality, tolerance, colour, and evaluation of off-form or as-repaired in situ or precast concrete surfaces; and (c) structural requirements that- (i) are critical to the stability, strength and serviceability of the permanent structure during construction and once completed; and (ii) affect the formwork design and construction.

Sets out a test method for the determination of ignitability, heat release rates, mass loss rates, effective heat of combustion and smoke release of materials and products when exposed to controlled levels of radiant heating.

Provides requirements for planning, construction, design, casting, transportation, erection and incorporation into the final structure of prefabricated concrete elements in building construction; applies to prefabricated concrete elements including, but not limited to, wall elements, columns, beams, flooring and facade elements used in building construction.
