b) Attach photographs of the site and the set-out markers that show how the set-out complies with the building plans. c) Provide a description with each photo to explain the processes you followed to ensure compliance. |
a). The inspection of the site helps in making proper plans for the construction and also for the design according to compliance that is needed to make a design of the building with according to ACBC’s Standards and there will be proper approvals that are taken from the engineers for the designs of the site. The soil report helps in deciding the classification of the class of the site and there is found that this site is a Class M site which helps in deciding the condition of the site and also the material that will be used in the construction of the building. After that there was consultation was taken from the experts and engineers about the retaining of walls with the proper height and also understanding of the importance of the retaining walls with the consultation of the minimum height and also there is consultation with the proper need of the footing and also kind of the material that will be used in the construction. The following compliance will help in making the construction in accordance with the ACBC codes and helps in ensuring the correct and proper construction of the building. |
| 10 | a) Assess the structural integrity of the footings specified in the building plans for compliance with the relevant codes and construction principles.
b) Explain how you did this and the outcome of the assessment. c) Attach evidence of this. |
a). Footing that there is the inclusion of the Concrete which gives proper foundation to the building and then there is Pier and Beam of the footing structure gives proper support for the 2nd story of the building and also there is proper maintenance of the structure with considering the AS of Residential Construction. And the codes which are used in the footing are AS 2870 – Residential Slabs and Footings, AS 2870-2011 Residential Slabs and Footings Construction, Building Code of Australia, AS1684.2-2010 Residential Timber-framed construction.
b). There will be proper footing which will be decided according to the soil report of the site and the is site is classified in CLASS M which requires a founding material silty clay with two boreholes and these boreholes need different depth of 0.3m and 0.4m respectively so that there will be consideration of the proper foundation for the need of the footing. |
| 11 | Once the footings are laid, document how you checked that they were laid correctly as specified in the plans and specification documentation. | For the footing inspection, there are several steps are taken to ensure that the footing is laid correct as per plans and compliance.
1. Checking the depth of the footing and dimensions of the footing ensuring the soil that is beneath it. 2. There was checking off the Reinforcing bar, slab sizes to ensure the support and also spacing and grades of the bars 3. There was checking credibility of the formwork of the footing to ensure the safety and also gridline locations 4. There was checking of the strength of the designed concrete, tools and weather. |
| 12 | a) Check the damp coursing and termite barriers against the NCC and the Australian Standards.
b) Attach photographs of each step that you followed to check the damp coursing and termite barriers. Explain what was involved in each stage. c) Attach any other relevant documentation as evidence. |
a). There was a soil report that was taken from the site and the site of the construction is classified in CLASS M because there was found that the soil is reactive so for this there was proper measures were taken to avoid any kind of problem that is taking place. For checking damp coursing against the NCC and the Australian Standards there was found that there will include all the NCC Part 2.2.3 that there is provision for the dampness at the building of construction.
1. Moisture from the ground that causes any harm or unhealthy condition must be prevented so that the construction can be smoothly done. 2. Any undue dampness of the building element should be avoided by proper use of the building material that is Timber 3. Ensuring that there will no damage will take place at the time of construction and have high resistance to the damage that caused during the construction. 4. Barriers must be installed beneath slab of the ground so it will have high resistance from the damage. AS3700 Masonry code requires for the damp proof of the building through thickness of the base. NCC Part 3.1.3 this suggest that Termite Risk Management with the follow of the standards AS3660,1:2014 Termite Management for new construction of building. AS3660.3:2014 This suggest proper assessment of the termite management |
