When specifying a new project, insist on FLEXIBLE ACRYLIC TEXTURE, not just painted cement render.
The AcraTex® 3-step coating system Suitably prepared masonry substrate (refer to AcraTex® system guides for detail)
AcraTex® AcraPrime Tm
The AcraTex® 3 step system encapsulates the walls in a membrane envelope acting as a barrier against adverse weather conditions for years longer than cement render.
More than just a “first coat” AcraPrime TM consolidates the substrate providing a stable base for long term integrity.
AcraTex® CoventryTm (Range) High Build Acrylic Texture 50 times thicker than paint, providing feature style and Acrylic Texture durability with colour integrated throughout.
AcraTex® Acrashield® Elastomeric Barrier coat protection 4 times thicker than paint – AcraShield® is the system lock that ensures maximum resistance to the elements and extended system life cycle.
Available across the full Dulux® Exterior colour range.
The AcraTex System with it’s flexible Acrylic Texture coating guards against degradation. Ordinary cement render is hard and brittle leading to typical problems like these. CRACkIng
Cement shrinks as it hardens & expands/contracts with temperature change.
EFFLoREsCEnCE
Salt blooming over the surface & concentrated leaching at cracks occurs.

Master Builders Foreword Welcome to the 2012/13 edition of BuildIT Victoria The building and construction industry is being faced with some significant challenges this year, with more turbulence on the horizon. Operating a business through a recessed market is a true challenge. The loss of time given over to managing the business makes it hard to keep abreast of all that is new in the industry. That’s where BuildIT can come in. BuildIT is here to help you gain the edge to keep you on top of what you should know as well as the tips and tools to run your business. The latest edition contains all the product, service and labour solutions you could possibly need. Master Builders have come to rely upon the annual BuildIT as the first place they look for building products, suppliers, materials, subcontractors and consultants. This edition, the twelfth since the inception of BuildIT, has a special focus on the transition to the Carbon Tax which will come into effect on 1 July. This tax will have the most significant effect on our industry since the introduction of GST. Our industry survived that change, and we will survive this new challenge. So as our economy continues to be faced with a wave of global change, placing more and more demands on businesses, I recommend you use this guide to complement the many benefits you can access with your Master Builders membership.

loBByIng As Victoria’s peak professional body for the building industry, Master Builders is your voice on local, state and national government matters. Our well-connected team advises Government bodies and politicians on legislation and policies that impact our industry. Working closely with our Sector Committees, we have the potential to influence laws and regulations that shape the way you work. It has been a challenging time for many Victorian builders facing rising costs, weakening demand and a soft global economy. Master Builders is at the forefront of lobbying for governments to act to help protect jobs and stimulate investment in our industry. Master Builders understands that government red tape means you are spending more time filling in paperwork and have less time to build the homes, offices, workplaces, schools, hospitals and other infrastructure our community relies on. We have run successful campaigns and lobbied for changes to support the building sector, including: • The Is Anybody Listening? campaign, which saw the introduction of stamp duty cuts for fi rst home buyers; • Changes to the Victoria’s industrial relations regime to help strengthen productivity; • Getting a commitment from the Federal Opposition to reinstate the ABCC if it wins offi ce; • Cuts to WorkCover premiums; • Increases to TAFE hourly rate funding for all apprenticeship courses; • Boosting infrastructure expenditure to support more construction projects; and • Reviews to bushfi re prone area mapping. Work is also continuing to: • Streamline and simplify Victoria’s overly complex planning laws; • Reform Owner-Builder activity; • Make councils more accountable for their planning decisions; • Reform the domestic building disputes resolution processes; • Oppose the introduction of new, model OHS laws that provide no real safety benefi ts for your business; • Remove mandatory commercial building structural defects insurance; • Oppose moves to introduce a National Occupational Licensing System that will only add red tape for our industry; and • Ensure an adequate amount of land is available for development. 2012 BuildIT Victorian Edition

alInk There are a multitude of apprentices starting their training in Victoria each year but about half of them will not finish. With this in mind, Master Builders has created a new initiative to help link apprentices with the industry. ALink provides apprentices with the tools and information they need to get ahead in their careers. This ‘link’ between apprentices and the industry has been dubbed ‘the apprentice’s new best friend’ because it is a place where apprentices can turn for everything they need to get ahead in their careers. To our knowledge, no other industry group has invested the time and money into supporting apprentices that we plan to with ALink. When joining ALink, all apprentices receive a free 12 month student membership with Master Builders entitling them to wage advice, career advice and discounts on tools, cars and fuel. Apprentices will also have a dedicated website – www.alink.org.au – which will feature up to date information on apprentice awards, government grants, scholarships and trade events.
ALink will also provide mentoring programmes and workshops for apprentices wanting to learn more about how to advance their careers. Master Builders is aiming to inject each apprentice’s education with the industry support and networking opportunities that they have been lacking. ALink also seeks to provide employers with the information they need to better communicate with their apprentices. It aims to educate apprentices about the benefits of remaining in their chosen trade and to give them the tools and information they need to get ahead in their career. For more information visit www.alink.org.au or phone Master Builders on (03) 9411 4555.

sITe sIgnage Site signage is the ideal way to promote your business while doing what you do best; building. As of June 2005, new building regulations requiring site signage are in effect. The person in charge of carrying out building work on site must ensure that registration numbers, and contact details of the builder and building surveyor, are displayed along with the relevant building permit and info. The Master Builders Association can assist in providing signage which meets these requirements in a way that still promotes your business. For information about site signage, visit the Association’s head office or call (03) 9411 4555.

Training will never be the same again Builders across Australia now have access to Australia’s most high-tech building and construction training facility, the Building Leadership Simulation Centre (BLSC). Located in South Melbourne, the centre is a first for the AsiaPacific region and one of only three in the world. It creates a virtual workplace where trainees confront the challenges of a real building site in a risk-free environment. The BLSC offers a training experience like no other in Australia. Trainees will work in site huts in a large simulation hall and tackle realistic problems in situations as close to reality as it is possible to create. The scenarios will be based upon real projects at every stage of development with 3D computer Off screen, specialist actors, who play the roles of related personnel engage participants in scenarios that mirror the challenges of a real building site. Participant responses are recorded and assessed, helping them to understand and develop leadership, communication and problem-solving skills. The BLSC is a risk free environment where trainees can make mistakes without the risk of delays, budget overruns and injuries that exist on real building sites. Classroom-based training and technical training are also available at this flexible facility. Key areas of training at the new centre will include management and leadership, communication, industrial relations and OHS. The BLSC will offer commercial and residential focused construction training and is suitable for a range of employees at all levels, including: • Project managers; • Site supervisors; • Foremen; • Suppliers; • Sub-Contractors; • Architects; • Building inspectors/surveyors; • OHS and IR specialists; and • Apprentices.
For more than a decade, simulated training has been a valuable tool throughout Europe. Experience overseas demonstrates the benefits of simulation training, which includes reductions in the number of OHS incidents by 90 per cent, quality improvement of 10 per cent and a five per cent reduction in construction costs. A variety of training programs are under development with tailored training options also available. The BLSC is also offering “taster courses” to allow industry experience the concept firsthand. Simulation training is cost effective, with full day training starting at $650 a day. Member discounts apply.
For bookings or more information, please contact the bLsc training team via the website at www.blsc.com.au or on (03) 9411 4555.

Tiled showers made easy A new solution from Atlantis removes the challenge of fitting a channel drain into a timber floor, or into any flooring structure where there are unacceptable risks of water leakage. The one-piece Linea Quattro tile-over shower base and integrated channel drain is designed to achieve a level-access shower floor – in most cases without the need for cutting into the joists. Moulded from rigid GRP composite, the Linea Quattro shower base is already 100 per cent waterproof, comes in multiple sizes for common showering spaces and fits easily into an existing floor cavity once the surface flooring is removed. Not having to separately form and screed the shower floor saves time and money, not to mention a major headache, for most builders. It also takes care of waterproofing in the most critical risk area of the shower. Once fitted the shower base is immediately ready to tile. Because the drain is located discreetly at the side or back, tiling is a breeze and opens up the option for using larger format tiles which can be fixed in a single plane. No more unsightly cuts to the centre and fewer grout lines make a much cleaner finish for the shower floor.
Atlantis is so confident of the durability of its one-piece shower base that it offers a 25-year warranty against leaks – a performance guarantee unheard of elsewhere. The benefits of the Atlantis system do not stop with the shower base. In keeping with its reputation for bulletproof integrity, addon components will guarantee the structure and waterproofing of the entire shower area. Atlantis offers 2120mm high frameless screen options in a choice of sliding door, hinged door or fixed panel (walk-in) configurations. By purchasing the system as a base and screen package, it is possible to create a stunning new frameless shower in a matter of hours.

At Dulux AcraTex we’ve been designing specialist finishing systems for new construction for more than three decades protecting some of Australia‘s landmark architecture and infrastructure projects and working with substrate supply partners to deliver total peace of mind with appropriate coatings specifications. Traditional masonry construction has stood the test of time and supported by dedicated trades continues to be valued in the building industry. Increasingly however the need for flexibility of design and energy efficiency push designers and builders to seek faster more efficient systems particularly in residential construction. External Insulating and Finishing Systems (EIFS), long established in Europe and America are now being recognised in Australia for their benefits, however their ultimate success relies heavily on a clear understanding of the dynamics of the substrate (ie the Expanded Polystyrene Foam EPS), its requirements for coating to ensure long term durability and the Integrated nature of design and installation responsibilities.
How does Dulux AcraTex fit into the EIFS market? EIFS is not new to AcraTex - in fact as a founder in the acrylic texture market more than 30 years ago, AcraTex was a pioneer in the use of EIFS systems designing and installing systems specifically for Insulation benefits as originally used in Europe. AcraTex Exsulite has been a brand of Dulux for over 25 years.
What experience tells us. 1. EPS requires specialist base coats to provide long term adhesion and durability. Beware of suppliers and installers using cement renders or even their labelled “Acrylic Renders”. Expanded foam requires a high polymer base coat for adhesion - much higher than most acrylic renders. 2. Cavity drainage is critical in ensuring stability of the facade. This is best practice design for traditional construction and is equally applicable in any lightweight cladding system. 3. Integration of design, components and installation is required to ensure “as built” meets design specification Lightweight cladding systems are able to be installed by a broader installer base (vs traditional masonry). In the Building Code of Australia (BCA) their use is classified as an Alternate Solution requiring validation. CodeMark certification is an acceptable approach, however it is important that certification cover the full aspects of the relevant BCA requirements and that installation is controlled to ensure full compliance. 4. Rigid, cement based renders and paint systems are unsuitable to maintain a weatherproofing envelope. Lightweight cladding systems (EIFS or FC) require flexible acrylic texture and elastomeric topcoats to accommodate normal expansion and contraction. You can trust Dulux AcraTex to deliver a reliable fully integrated system. The Exsulite Thermal Facade System by Dulux AcraTex provides total confidence • Fully BCA compliant, design to installation • Dulux registered and trained installer network • Performance warranted

How the fully integrated Exsulite system prevents typical cladding problems Over recent years the use of Lightweight Cladding Systems, as Alternate Solutions in the BCA, has grown but proper system design and installation has not always followed. The BCA requires appropriate design and installation controls to qualify any Alternate Solution and ultimate success requires a total systems approach integrating design, componentry and Installation. The Exsulite Thermal Facade system protects builders and their clients from the risks of mixed componentry and uncontrolled installation. Exsulite by Dulux AcraTex offers a single supply source for the Total Facade System - cladding to Weatherproofing Finish, incorporating Best Practice Cavity Design, and critically Installation of the CodeMark Certified System by registered and trained Exsulite installers.

maximise energy efficiency and comfort with thermally broken windows ThermalHEART™ is the technology that lies at the core of the a new range of thermally efficient aluminium windows and doors available from JAG Windows. ThermalHEART™ window and door systems are ideal for those jobs where minimising cold and heat transfer is a priority. The release of these innovative systems coincides with new government requirements on energy efficiency in homes and growing awareness regarding energy consumption within the broader community. When combined with double‐glazing, ThermalHEART™ windows and doors meet contemporary aspirations for energy conservation and comfortable interior temperatures. Available for residential or commercial applications ThermalHEART™ window and door systems rate up to 32 per cent better than standard double glazed windows and doors. ThermalHEART™ products include a glass fibre‐reinforced nylon insulator or thermal break between the aluminium exterior and interior elements. This break minimises heat transfer between the interior and exterior elements. The extra insulation provided by ThermalHEART™ technology allows designers additional flexibility when achieving Building Code compliance with houses that incorporate large areas of glazing.
A comprehensive suite of ThermalHEART™ products is offered including awning, casement, and bi-fold windows, hinged and bi‐fold doors as well as sliding doors and a range of commercial framing systems. ThermalHEART™ not only offers excellent suitability for thermal performance but is capable of impressive product sizes allowing the large heights and spans sought by many designers and homeowners to be achieved (doors are suitable to heights of 2.7m). An added benefit of this range is that the unique thermal insulator jointing method allows a different choice of colour to compliment both internal and external colour palettes resulting in one colour on the outside and another on the inside.

A revolution in steel frame construction 360˚ Bolt is a new and innovative product developed for the steel frame construction industry to eliminate common installation errors traditionally involved with hold down bolt systems. No longer will minor misalignments in ‘as-built’ holding down [HD] bolts cause costly and time consuming delays in steel erection thanks to the introduction of 360˚ Bolt. The 360˚ Bolt system allows up to 30mm of movement in the holding down bolts through a patented swivel design enclosed in the base of the product. Designed by SGA Engineering, a Victorian based company with almost 20-years experience in the construction industry; 360˚ Bolt will prove a revolution in the industry in the coming months. “We fabricate and erect,” 360˚ Bolt’s National Project Manager Ted Sygidus said, “so we get to see both sides of the picture. Typically there is a tolerance with the baseplate holes of around 6mm, and while the accuracy of foundations and cage placements in existing HD footings is improving with technology, sometimes you’re faced with things like steel expansion due to temperature, or minor twisting during erection, so 6mm becomes too tight a tolerance.’’ “Yes, we can fix the situation on-site, but that becomes very time consuming, especially when you consider a site with up to
100 columns. That can create huge delays in the whole project, when a system like 360˚ Bolt can stretch your tolerance to 30mm using the patented swivel design enclosed in the base of the product, and allow the baseplate to move off square as well.” The product has been designed in accordance with relative Australian Standards and tested in NATA approved testing laboratories revealing that the 360˚ Bolt holding down bolts don’t even yield at the HD bolts’ ultimate capacity, so it is tough and durable and more than a match for existing HD bolt cages that have changed only marginally over the last 100 years; 360˚ Bolt is about to rewrite the history books.

You deserve a nice loo too! Get a dunny with dignity! Worksafe Victoria’s recently issued guidance note raises the bar on the acceptable standard of building site facilities. Gone are the days when the old steel hot-boxes are acceptable equipment for builders and the ‘nice’ toilets should be saved for weddings. It’s the builder’s responsibility to ensure that all workers have access to clean, hygienic and conveniently located toilets at all times. That means that not only do they have to provide a site toilet but it also needs to be cleaned and the waste emptied regularly as well. WorkSafe’s recently issued guidance note recommends pumping out storage tanks every two weeks, particularly in warmer months. At a maximum, you should not leave pumping out for longer than four weeks. “We’re delighted with the introduction of these guidelines,” said Jim Noort, Founder and Managing Director of Viking Rentals. “The philosophy at Viking is that builders are no less deserving of respect and dignity than any other person, so it’s very satisfying to see Worksafe making a recommendation of what we do as standard.” Viking’s standard toilet rental offering includes fortnightly servicing in the rental price. The schedule is set so the builder doesn’t have to worry about remembering to arrange anything.
Oh, and by the way, servicing isn’t just pumping out the waste but includes a full cleanout, sanitisation as well as restocking of the toilet paper and hand soap. “It’s a no brainer for us,” said Master Builder Brian Forbes. “Sure it costs slightly more than a cheap and nasty loo that no one wants to use, but it more than pays for itself in productivity gains because the guys aren’t racing down to the local McDonald’s whenever they want to go to the loo.” While specialising in toilet hire, Viking also provides other key building hire products such as builder’s power poles, temporary fencing and the innovate ‘mini site office’ which combines a site toilet and site office in one compact building. Not content with this, Viking has just started offering timber crossovers and rubbish cages to be a one stop shop for builders. For further information on the guidelines contact the WorkSafe Victoria Advisory Service on 1800 136 089 or go to www.worksafe.vic.gov.au

We have also been responsible for the design, engineering and manufacture of Omega Heavy Forklift Trucks and Container Handlers, which are in use in ports across the globe and dominate the Australian large forklift market in its market segments.

Home Automation...a must for every home lover Home automation, or home control as it’s also called, is constantly changing. Like most technologies, it improves with age. It gets smarter, less expensive and easier to use each year. But, advance preparation, the right design, documentation and components are all key to a successful job.
Today, a Home Automation or Control system should be viewed just like doors and windows. How so? Well, they aren’t really necessary, but you wouldn’t design a home without them! Likewise, it is a smart idea to design any new construction with custom designed audio, visual, lighting, security, climate and networking facilities to suit your clients needs. It’s not hard or necessarily expensive, but it is definitely an investment! Just imagine easy control of home entertainment, lighting, temperature and security from a smart phone or tablet device from anywhere in the world that has a phone or internet connection. Easy apps on these devices make total control very easy – even easier than using a bank ATM. But there's more - a lot more! Eliminate wall clutter and enhance your client's lifestyle and safety with the added convenience that a home control system allows. Imagine a single button press that (1) turns off the house lights; (2) arms the security system; (3) turns off all audio/video systems. The built-in coordination between a home’s subsystems helps save energy by automatically turning off lights and electronics that are not in use. The home should be a place to relax and kick back for a bit, enjoying the time away from the hustle and bustle of the day-to-day activities and not a place to worry about individual ‘electronic’ systems around the home. These should be and can be fun to ‘play’ with, no matter your gender.
The Right Start Good, advance preparation in any project is the key to success! It is no different with audio video and home automation/smart home control systems. First, there is the low-voltage wiring infrastructure. A home's wiring should not only be appropriate for any initial needs but also allow for future technologies. Once the walls are closed up, they should stay closed. A properly designed wiring plan should be able to adapt to new technology many years after the initial move-in. In the design phase, think how the system might evolve in the next 3 years, 5 years, 10 years, etc. The Right Components The next step of great system design is selecting proper components. This is similar to putting together a great symphony. The skills of each musician are important, but what is more important is how the musician interacts with the rest of the players in the orchestra. The same illustration applies to audio video and entertainment systems. When selecting components, constantly evaluate how that component fits into the “symphony”. Will it increase the reliability of the system? Will it perform at its best with the other components in the system? Is it good value in the context of the system as a whole? Good Documentation The third vital element to system design is a very good documentation package. It should speak the language of the design team – in other words the plans should be detailed. Low-voltage wiring documentation needs to specify all of the various audio video requirements that the architect, builder, electrician and interior designer need to know. This documentation package should include electrical requirements, HVAC requirements, device placement, equipment space planning, home theatre sightlines and riser heights/dimensions, television niche requirements, etc. This type of planning helps eliminate unwanted surprises that result in either additional costs or a compromised end result.

Installing Rams Insulation to your home or commercial site is the most cost effective way to improve energy efficiency
Why wool insulation? Wool is a natural fibre with
WELDING AND METAL FABRICATION
many natural organic characteristics. Wool is durable, resilient, and safe to install. Wool is a renewable resource. Wool fibres are naturally superior to synthetic fibres, as well as longer lasting, inherently flame retardant and resistant to dirt and crushing. The flexibility of the wool fibre also makes it more durable. A wool fibre can be bent back on itself more than 20,000 times without breaking, compared to about 3,000 times for cotton and 2,000 times for silk.

Termite protection: how to protect your building A CSIRO termite study found 44,000 homes in Melbourne with termite infestation in just nine months.
The annual repair cost of termite damaged timber in Victoria has been estimated at $700 million. More municipalities will become termite declared areas in the future as 22,000 infestations were reported in undeclared areas during a nine month CSIRO survey. Banyule City Council was declared in April 2005, City of Whitehorse in January 2006 and Frankston City Council in April 2007. Out of 79 Councils in Victoria this makes 16 declared and 15 undeclared in Metro Melbourne. Many new buildings are still being built in known termite areas, but not termite declared by councils. These new homes are unprotected! Exopest can assist builders, architects and developers to find out if they are building in a high risk termite area, plan a termite management program and comply with all relevant Australian Standards AS 3660.1-2000. Exopest has more than 30 years experience in the building industry, specialising in termite management, installation and inspections. New buildings: Exopest installs ‘HomeGuard’ Precision Termite Management System. Australian made and manufactured, HomeGuard gives the builder a pro-active termite barrier system that stops termites entering the building by killing them on contact or by repelling them. Backed by a 25 year warranty
certificate, HomeGuard is designed to last the life of the building, is easy to install, and comes in a range of products: HomeGuard TMB (complies with AS 2870 Moisture Barrier) full under slab; HomeGuard Blue for slab rebates; HomeGuard Collars for slab Penetrations; HomeGuard Termite Caps for suspended timber floors on stumps and now HomeGuard GT granules for rebates, slab cut outs etc. • GreenSmart (HIA) • Eco Specified • CodeMark Certification BCA. Existing buildings: Termite soil treatments using water based emulsions with no odour, vapours; allowing minimal down time on site. Soil treatments last up to 10 years and comply with all local government building requirements. Soil treatments are cost effective and easy to install. Products include Biflex, Premise and Termidor. Where access is limited or on a concrete slab we use our termite baiting and interception system called ‘termEsafe’.

Why wool insulation? Wool is a natural fibre with many natural organic characteristics. Wool is durable, resilient, and safe to install. Wool is a renewable resource. Wool fibres are naturally superior to synthetic fibres, as well as longer lasting, inherently flame retardant and resistant to dirt and crushing. The flexibility of the wool fibre also makes it more durable. A wool fibre can be bent back on itself more than 20,000 times without breaking, compared to about 3,000 times for cotton and 2,000 times for silk.

nissan navara gets the job done. A poor workman blames his tools. A good workman can thank his. Especially when they offer the features and benefits of the Nissan Navara.
A huge advantage of choosing a ute from the Nissan Navara range is that there is sure to be one that’s perfect for your needs. Dual Cabs, Single Cabs, King Cabs, Cab Chassis are all on offer. And they’re paired with turbo diesels engines that range from a simple workhorse to the most powerful ute in its class. The V6 turbo diesel, available in the ST-X and ST-X 550 Dual Cab models, serves up 550Nm of torque and 170kW of power. It’s the only V6 available in a dual cab, so it’s no wonder it’s called Australia’s Most Powerful Tradie. In addition to all the power, it offers excellent fuel economy and low emissions. The ST Dual Cab is more powerful than ever. It now delivers 140kW of power and 450Nm of torque, for the grunt you need onsite as well as effortless highway driving. So whether you’re loaded up with work gear or loaded up with kids on the weekend, it’s ready to go. The ST 4x2 is also up for just about anything with a turbo-diesel engine providing 120kW of power and 403Nm of torque. The 126kW common rail turbo-diesel engine is available in a variety of Nissan Navara models; RX 4x4 Dual Cab Pickup and Cab Chassis, RX King Cab 4x4 Cab Chassis, and ST-X King Cab Pickup and Cab Chassis. This engine delivers the fuel economy and lowdown torque that the Nissan Navara is renowned for. The 106kW turbo-diesel engine is available in the Dual Cab 4x2 and Single Cab 4x4. This tough workhorse has more than enough power to get the job done.
Navara is justifiably famous for its 4WD ability and towing power. In fact, all Navara 4x4 models are capable of pulling a massive 3,000kg (trailer with brakes). Meanwhile, the Navara’s dashboard 4WD rotary switch makes it easy to select from three driving modes. 2WD High, for normal dry conditions, sends power to the rear wheels only. 4WD High locks the transfer case to split drive equally front and rear when tackling more demanding conditions. While 4WD Low is for serious off-road conditions like deep mud or sand. At the same time, the Navara offers a level of ride comfort more expected from a wagon than a workhorse, partly thanks to the way it’s constructed. A strong high tensile steel ladder chassis with welded cross members offers less vibration and a reassuring solidity. While a highly effective suspension system provides impressive agility. On-road or off-road, you’ll find that the Navara feels like it knows exactly what it’s doing. If you’re in the market for any kind of ute, you owe it to yourself to take a look at the Nissan Navara range.

hyundai iLoad – Keeps on delivering the goods The Hyundai iLoad has again been recognised after receiving the 2011 carsales.com.au ‘People’s Choice Award’ in the Light Commercial Van category for a second consecutive year.
The multi-award winning iLoad impressed again with a combination of efficiency, practicality, reliability, and versatility. The carsales.com.au People’s Choice Awards are an important measure of the strength of brands and models in the new car marketplace. Voting is based on genuine customer new car purchase enquiries placed via carsales’ network of sites, including carsales.com.au, CarPoint.com.au, motoring.com.au, discountnewcars.com.au and prestigenewcars.com.au. The broad appeal of iLoad, which has seen it top the light commercial vehicle segment in the Australian automotive market in 2011, is complemented by its five-year / 160,000km warranty, with the added benefit of low cost of ownership and the choice of either the efficient 2.4-litre Continuously Variable Valve Timing (CVVT) petrol engine or economic 2.5-litre CRDi turbo diesel engine. Offering business a myriad of load carrying possibilities, the iLoad can handle up to two pallets with ease within its 4.3 cubic metre capacity, while offering seating options for either three passengers – or up to six in crew van configuration. A functional and well-designed interior focuses on driver comfort including air-conditioning, power windows and mirrors, indoor storage
compartments, cup holders and Bluetooth® connectivity. Full iPod® integration (via the USB port) allows customers to connect using their original iPod® cables, conveniently making operation possible via the head unit or steering wheel. The intelligent design of the iLoad is demonstrated by offering standard twin sliding doors to reduce reach for easy load and unload, and a large lift tailgate to provide a sheltered workspace. When it comes to safety, the iLoad certainly delivers. The range is equipped with Anti-skid Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), driver and passenger airbags and three-point retractable seat belts for all occupants. iLoad attains a 4 star ANCAP crash safety rating. The Hyundai iLoad is available in a choice of two engine options, in eight practical colours with pricing from $28,990* drive away. * Campaign price for iLoad 3 seater petrol manual models. Applies to ABN holders only.

ford ranger engineered to exceed your expectations! The bar has just been raised … again. The All-New Ranger is a completely new animal, designed and engineered in Australia, the All-New Ranger is built to take on the world. A truck built with no compromise, it was tested in the toughest of climates and terrains across 5 continents to ensure its superior durability. Completely designed around the driver, the All-New Ranger comes equipped with the latest entertainment and connectivity technology, making it feel more like a modern SUV than a hard working truck. However, its true truck DNA was not neglected. Chassis, drive train and suspension were totally redesigned to achieve towing of up to 3,350kg, and payloads up to 1,528kg. And when the going gets really tough you can rely on Ranger’s off-road performance, with Locking Rear Differential and impressive water wading of up to 800mm.
Design with functional purpose The All-New Ranger delivers some of the best technology and quality workmanship in its class. In the course of its development, Ford used the same leading-edge simulation technology as formula one teams, performing more than 1,000 full-vehicle aerodynamic simulations to perfect the shape of the vehicle. A rock-solid under-body gives the vehicle its robust vehicle foundation, while its precise upper body design, delivers the distinct styling that meets Ford’s rigorous functional requirements.
Safety made smart With comprehensive active and passive safety features, an extensive range of All-New Ranger models come with the maximum ANCAP 5-star safety rating.
Test Drive and experience it for yourself Courtney and Patterson Ford have the complete range available at their showroom in Heidelberg. Operating since 1945 Courtney and Patterson will assist you with all your questions regarding the All-New Ranger, Accessories, Parts and Servicing.

Polymaster has rainwater tanks to suit any area! Polymaster’s space saving rainwater tanks are an ideal solution for properties with limited space, designed to take up a minimum amount of room, with simple installation.
Not everyone has heaps of room for a large bulky rainwater tank! With the ever increasing need to include a rainwater tank on a property, Polymaster’s SlendalineTM, SlendastyleTM and Undergound tanks are ideal for house blocks with limited space. Polymaster’s 2100 litre SlendalineTM tank is a very popular household tank, ideal for that narrow space down the side of your house. This neat package arrives with both pump and waterswitch device neatly fitted behind the inspection door. The fully automatic waterswitch device switches from tank water back to mains supply when water level is low, maintaining a constant supply for toilets and laundry use. This state of the art unit even shows your water savings from a LCD screen inside your home! Fully certified to the Australian Standard AS/NZS4766:2006, you can be assured of receiving your government water rebate for all Polymaster tanks.
With the smallest footprint in the industry, Polymaster’s underground tanks give you the maximum capacity for the minimum square meterage. Two sizes are available, 5000 and 2250 litres, with a range of pump and filter kits for household or garden use. These units have a sealed locking tamper proof lid. Fully approved and tested, these tanks have been engineered by geotechnical experts including finite element analysis (FEA).

Water the way nature intended Your clients are getting serious about rainwater storage and the purity of their drinking water. Are you? Today’s buyers demand a sustainable solution for storing their water. As a result, ‘sustainability’ is now at the top of the shopping list of our region’s best builders. They know that their clients want maximum water storage, a sustainable tank design, good looks and pure, untouched drinking water. For a very long time this list of desires was something of a pipedream, with most buyers having to settle for ecologically unsound products, and water from the tap or bottle. But no more. Designer Tanks custom-build sustainable stainless steel tanks that tick all of these boxes and more. Designer Tanks’ range of stainless steel catchment devices are not just industrial works of art. They are sustainable water storage devices that put the environment first. For those conscious of impurities there are no plastic linings in these tanks to corrupt the integrity of the water. It is literally like drinking from the clouds. Your clients simply fill their jug from the tank’s bucket tap and then set it on the dinner table, eliminating contact with house or dwelling PVC or copper piping. Designer Tanks are made-to-measure too, so no matter how limited your clients are for space, Designer Tanks can help. This is also true if they have an existing tank stand or slab – Designer Tanks can build to their specifications. Designer Tanks are for people who value quality above all else.
If your clients value pristine drinking water whilst leaving the smallest environmental footprint possible, then Designer Tanks should be your first call. Designer Tanks are so good that comparison with traditional tanks is kind of pointless. Just look at the evidence: • They’re built from food-grade stainless steel • They’re fully recyclable • They’re fire-resistant • They’re incredibly durable - as robust as the kitchen sink • They’re made-to-measure so you have infinite choice in terms of dimensions and capacity • They are, lets be honest, a whole lot more stylish than a plastic tank • They’re a true-blue, Aussie-manufactured product that will stand the test of time and will end up costing a lot less than tanks with much shorter lifespans So if your clients demand the best, talk to the best, Designer Tanks.

For the toughest jobs in Australia, there’s only one truck:
Chevrolet Silverado Experience the difference! Once you’ve driven one of these beauties you literally can’t go back to anything less tough, less powerful, less roomy and less comfortable. And talk about being versatile – during the week it’s a real work horse, with no job too big or too hard. Come the weekend, load up the cross bike, camping & fishing gear, hitch on the boat trailer and it will take you and your mates just about anywhere. Time for the family holiday – it will tow with such ease you’ll keep looking to check it’s still there. There’s only one real problem with this truck, it’s so damn easy to drive, you’ll have to hide the keys from your wife! She’s going to love it as much as you will. 296KW/1037Nm Duramax 6.6L V8 Turbo Diesel Engine, Allison 6 speed transmission, up to 9843kg max. towing capacity, up to 3010kg payload, with a 136L tank, capable of taking you 1094km. Just imagine owning the strongest, most reliable, safest and most economical truck in its class.
