Provides a process for engineering the design of fire safety Performance Solutions. The document provides the flexibility required to develop Performance Solutions while still maintaining the level of safety required by the NCC.

Provides specific guidance to architects, planners, designers, engineers, builders, installers, maintenance personnel, building owners, managers and users in the planning and installation of physical pathways and spaces in and between buildings to accommodate the equipment and cabling infrastructure necessary for communications; to the extent that this is not adequately covered for Australian and New Zealand purposes in AS/NZSISO/IEC 14763.2:2014.

Specifies requirements for the design, fabrication, erection and stripping of formwork as well as the evaluation and repair of the formed concrete surface; colour evaluation charts are included in an Appendix.

Sets out requirements for waterproofing membranes for external above-ground use, installed in accordance with AS 4654.2.

Sets out a consistent and reliable approach to the design and installation of external waterproofing membrane systems.

Sets out minimum requirements for the materials, design and installation of waterproofing for domestic wet areas in Class 1, Class 2 and Class 4 buildings as defined in the NCC. It also applies to wet areas within Class 3 to 9 buildings as if it were a Class 2 or 4 part of a building.

Specifies minimum requirements for the design and construction of unreinforced, reinforced and prestressed masonry, including built-in components.

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.

Specifies requirements for the building industry with procedures that can be used to determine building practice, to design or check construction details, and to determine member sizes, and bracing and fixing requirements for timber-framed construction in non-cyclonic wind classifications N1 and N2. Also referred to as the timber framing code.

Sets out requirements for the design, selection, construction and installation of fixed platforms, walkways, stairways and ladders that are intended to provide safe access to places used by operating, inspection, maintenance and servicing personnel.
