Insurance Building & planning Employment & wages

When it comes to technical building issues, Master Builders should be your first port of call for information and assistance. We provide advice in the following key areas.

TRAINING & LICENSING As industry leaders, we design and deliver relevant and practical training courses that help move industry forward. This means supporting you with the technical, business, management and leadership skills and knowledge you’re going to need throughout your career, regardless of where you’re heading.

Contracts & disputes When it comes to knowing everything about building requirements, or interpreting contract conditions, nobody could hope to keep up-todate with all the regular changes to building codes, standards and legislation. In fact, less than 10% of builders own a current copy of the Building Code of Australia, and most have never even seen a copy. No wonder contract administration is a challenge for so many builders and trade contractors, without the necessary resources. Master Builders’ contracts are available exclusively to members and are drafted by our specialist staff and checked by lawyers, so we know them back to front and can provide you with the advice and support you need.

Purchasing contracts Master Builders’ contracts are available for members only and are available in both hardcopy format and online. If you prefer to use hardcopy contracts, visit the Master Builders’ eShop to purchase contracts online, or visit your local Master Builders’ office to purchase contracts over the counter. If you are looking for an online solution, you can also complete your contracts online via eDocs or Buildcentre. See page 6 for more information on Buildcentre, Master Builders’ online job management system. Whatever your preferred method, purchase contracts today!

And, if you’re in a prickly situation with a client, Master Builders can help you manage the dispute. Our specialist staff throughout Queensland are on hand to assist parties in a dispute through various dispute management processes – namely, ‘without prejudice’ conferences.

Generous and grunty AF series The Escea AF Series combines minimalist design and installation ﬂexibility with a whole lot of ﬂame. The high output series uses a closed combustion system and direct vent flue that ensures the heat goes into the room, not up the chimney. It only uses outside air for combustion and carries the exhaust air away without exchange with the room air. Perfect for 6 star+ homes as there is no need for make-up air. First in the series was the AF700. With smaller dimensions and flexi-flue extensions, this gas log fire was designed to fit most brick chimneys and masonry cavities. The fact that it can be installed straight into a timber framed wall without the need for expensive fire rated materials makes it an ideal retrofit fireplace.

“Renovators love the AF700 not only for ease of installation, but for its sleek design that allows it to work in with the existing character of a terrace house. On the flipside, this makes it work just as well in a newbuild too,” explains lead designer Alex Hodge. Following on from the success of the AF700, Escea added the AF960 to the series just last year. This gas heater employs all the same design principles of the AF700, but it’s bigger and more powerful. With an impressive 7kW heat output and 4 Energy Star rating, the AF960 effortlessly heats a modern, open plan living space while being kind on your gas bill. The AF960 also has an added 300mm to the large glass area, for even more flame display.

The PODS® container is delivered and placed at ground level for easy storage access. PODS containers sit approximately 10cm off the ground and provide ambient light for loading and access. The container can even be crane lifted onto multi-level and high-rise building sites for easy higher level access. The containers have been tested to withstand winds of 170 kmph when partially loaded. Containers can be utilised for short or long-term storage, both on-site and off-site; and can be moved between building sites, local or long distance.

If moving your container, PODS pickup and move for you. The delivery process utilises our patented hydraulic lift system, PODZILLA®. The lift is designed to keep your full container level, reducing shifting of contents while loaded onto the PODS truck for transportation. PODS® containers come in three sizes: • Small - 2.4m x 2.1m x 2.1m – approx. 10.5m3; • Medium - 2.4m x 2.4m x 3.6m – approx. 20.7m3; • Large - 2.4m x 2.4m x 4.8m – approx. 27.6m3.

BARBECUES

The Weber Family Q Built in, the outdoor kitchen centrepiece. The Weber Q is Australia’s favourite barbecue. People love them for their versatility and durability but above all, for the flavours of a Weber Q meal. The Weber Family Q Built In is no exception – it’s the latest evolution of the Weber Q range. It has the same amazing cooking system, features, and appearance as the Weber Q Range but has been turned into an outdoor kitchen masterpiece. With stunning looks and a clever design, it will become the focal point of the outdoor kitchen, and will create outdoor meals with that sensational Weber flavour for many years to come. The Weber Family Q Built In is designed to fit into a standard 600mm (or larger) outdoor kitchen bench, which makes tailoring a design for installation simple. Constructed of 304 grade stainless steel and cast aluminium, the Family Q Built In will last for years outdoors without rusting. Installation and maintenance is easy due to Weber’s clever design, or if you prefer, trained Weber Technicians offer a delivery, assembly and installation service in capital cities around the country. Why do people love the Weber Family Q Built in so much? It’s simple – unbelievable flavour and versatility, all with the convenience of gas. The Weber Q cooking system can take simple Australian barbecue favourites and transform them into juicy, mouthwatering masterpieces. It’s not just the amazing barbecues though. By using Weber Q accessories, you can transform your Weber Q into a brilliant convection oven or rotisserie cooker. Your Weber Q will cook roasts with that famous Weber flavour; chicken, beef, lamb, even perfect pork crackling. The Family Q Built In will also bake perfect pizzas, cakes and muffins, just like in the oven. In fact, the Family Q is so versatile it’s like having all your kitchen cooking appliances rolled into one, helping to keep the kitchen clean, tidy and free of heat and smells. Imagine never having to clean the oven again! How does it work? Weber flavour is legendary around the world and Australians have been enjoying the flavour of Weber food since the 1970’s, but not many people know how that flavour is created. It comes from the barbecue smoke that’s circulated around the meat while it is being cooked. This is a

unique Weber trait and it’s what has made Weber flavour famous all over the world. That’s why the Weber Family Q (even when searing a steak or grilling a sausage) is operated with the lid down. The barbecue smoke is circulated around the food inside, imparting that fabulous flavour to your favourite meals. So the famous Weber barbecue flavour is created by both searing the meat on the hot cast iron cooking grill and the natural convection that circulates barbecue smoke all around the meat. It’s this flavour that is the hallmark of the Weber Q cooking system. The Weber Family Q Built In – total peace of mind included At Weber, quality and performance is at the very heart of our culture. We know that performance, appearance and durability in the backyard are all that counts, and that’s why Weber use only the highest grade materials, chosen to weather the elements and to stand the test of time. The Weber Q Built In is constructed from high quality, 304 grade stainless steel and no rust cast aluminium, to stand up to even the harshest outdoor environments. Inside, there’s a rust resistance enamel coated cast iron cooking grill and a stainless steel burner system that means the Family Q Built In will perform like brand new for years. In fact, we guarantee it; the Weber Family Q Built In comes with a 5 year warranty backed by one of Australia’s most trusted customer service and technical support team. Talk to anyone who has had reason to deal with Weber customer service and they’ll tell you the same thing – the experience is second to none. Add to that a team of trained technicians and specialists around the country who are ready to support Weber customers on site with anything from technical issues to cooking enquiries, and you have total peace of mind. The Weber Family Q Built In is exclusively available through Weber Specialist Dealers. To find your nearest Weber Specialist Dealer, and for further information on this stunning backyard centrepiece, please visit www.weberbbq.com.au.

CLADDING

What you really need to know about Polystyrene EIFS Lightweight Cladding Systems...

At Dulux® AcraTex® we’ve been designing specialist finishing systems for over three decades protecting some of Australia‘s landmark architecture and infrastructure projects. External Insulating and Finishing Systems (EIFS), long established in Europe and America are now being recognised in Australia for their benefits. What Experience tells us... • Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) requires specialist “Base Coats” to provide long term adhesion and durability. Beware of suppliers/ 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” • 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. • 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 BCA their use is classified as an Alternate Solution requiring validation. CodeMark™ certification is an acceptable approach, however it is important that Certification covers the full aspects of the relevant BCA requirements and that Installation is controlled to ensure full compliance.

• Rigid, cement based renders and paint systems are unsuitable to maintain a weather-proofing envelope. Lightweight Cladding Systems (EIFS or FC) require Flexible Acrylic Texture and Elastomeric Topcoats to accommodate normal expansion and contraction. 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 & Installation. The Exsulite® Thermal Facade system protects Builders from the risks of mixed componentry and uncontrolled installation. Exsulite by Dulux AcraTex offers a Single Supply Source - and critically, Installation of the CodeMark Certified System by registered and Trained Exsulite Installers.

SURVEYING TOOLS

Measuring in three dimensions with a DISTO distance meter? Wow! Pioneers of laser distance meter technology Leica Geosystems have produced their best handheld unit yet. It is a revolution, something that so far has not existed. The S910 is in many ways like a High-end surveying instrument. From any one setup it can provide you with 3 dimensional measurements! This is achieved by the inclusion of digital encoders that allow the gathering of point to point measurements. Combined with considerable electronic smarts, this provides the ability to position any measureable point that you can see and compare it to any other measureable point. Measure two, ten or 30 points, they will all be allocated a 3 dimensional position in space.

This could be used for bill boards, roofing, railings, internal space, stair cases, shade cloth or hundreds of other jobs where points and angles need to be determined quickly and safely. No more ladders and tape measures! To achieve these results, the smart base and a camera tripod are both available â&#x20AC;&#x201C; aside from use with these accessories the S910 can be used as a normal Disto. The LEICA DISTO S910 stores all the measured points into DXF file, as a floor plan, wall layout or as 3D data. This can be downloaded later in office to a PC via the USB interface OR it can be viewed in the field and transferred via WLAN â&#x20AC;&#x201C; many new things are possible. This revolutionary technology expands the possibilities for measurements with laser distance meters to a much higher levels. No other distance meter offers as much functionality and operational ability.

WATERPROOFING

Waterstop Streamline – The new industry standard for shower construction Innovative product addresses one of the QBCC’s consistently listed top ten defects.

This cycle would repeat itself over and over until the builder, out of shear desperation, called on the industry to find out why the leaks were occurring and to come up with a more reliable method of sealing a shower.

The design parameters were: • A positive connection between the water-proofing membrane and the screen, with a failsafe incorporated to prevent leaks due to timeinduced silicon failure. Any seal was NOT to be reliant on a silicon join between a screen and tiles. • One piece design to minimise potential leak points • Correct and sufficient fall to waste • Compatibility with modern, liquid membranes • Minimal tile cutting • Ease of screen fitment • Minimum footprint to maximise available floor space • Full compliance with Australian Standards • Aesthetic traits to be adaptable across a wide range of bathroom styles and price points • As close to cost-neutral as possible

Australian manufacturing firm Gleda Pty Ltd recognised the need and began a detailed examination of current methods and designs.

Prototypes were developed, tested, refined and tested again until eventually a system was developed which encompassed all of the design requirements.

Exhaustive testing was undertaken to establish exactly where and how these leaks were occurring. These tests began to show a common thread across numerous shower designs. Whether the shower utilised a tiled hob, a recessed substrate or a flow-through design with a submerged angle, any sealing of the screen was reliant on a silicon join between the screen and the tiles. Over a time span much less than the warranty period, the silicon join was degrading and causing the integrity of the seal to be compromised. Secondly, models using dyed water showed that even while the silicon remained intact, grout, being porous, was allowing water to seep down below the tiles and into the glue cavity between the membrane and the tiles. Expansion and contraction resulting from the cycles of heat and cold was “pumping’ water over the hob or angle to escape the enclosure entirely. Once this process was understood, it became clear that for any design to be successful, it would have to incorporate a method to seal the screen directly to the membrane.

A small production run was undertaken and the showers were installed in the field with feedback from each trade closely monitored. Once approval was received from all parties, the dies were cut and Gleda set about tooling up their 1500 square metre factory for production.

A product born from necessity, the idea was spawned after witnessing a large project builder become completely frustrated by the never cycle of call-backs to fix leaking showers. Leak testing undertaken by the builder involved plugging the waste with an inflatable bladder and filling the recess with water from another source. The recess would hold water, indicating that the membrane was sound. The builder would then call the plumber who would pressure test the pipework and find no leaks.

The frustrated builder became Gleda’s first customer and is still a customer twelve years later. So great has been the market acceptance that almost 90 000 showers have now been produced and installed right across the country. Gleda Managing Director, Brett Krey explains “In the finished product, the input given by Water-proofers, Tilers and Screen Installers comes through strongly in the ease at which each trade completes their respective processes. In fact, most of our new business is a result of referrals from these three trades.”

A group of professionals consisting of Water-proofers, Tilers, ScreenInstallers, Building Supervisors and Certifiers were called together to look closely at the current methods and list in detail, the issues they saw as being important to their respective tasks.

“Waterstop Streamline is fast to install, seals the screen directly to the membrane and provides a fail-safe in the event of silicon failure. It also incorporates a template for the tiler so that fall to waste is ensured and screen fitment is simple. Tiling costs are significantly reduced and it doesn’t rely on an exposed and vulnerable bead of silicon to prevent the screen from leaking.”

From this list, a series of requirements were drawn up which would address each issue and provide the design parameters for a new method of shower construction.

“We now have testimonials from water-proofers, tilers, major screen manufacturers and builders recommending Waterstop Streamline as their preferred method of shower construction.”

WATERPROOFING

Despite builders best efforts, leaking showers are consistently listed in the QBCC’s 10 most common defects. Sadly, sometimes this is due to sub-standard workmanship, but most of the time it is the design of the shower itself which is creating the potential for disaster. Most contractors are at a complete loss as to why, but detailed testing has shown how, by the action of expansion and contraction, water is “pumped” along glue cavities to escape the shower enclosure, no matter how well it is water-proofed.

It’s great to be able to come home after work and enjoy the fresh air and cool afternoon breeze. Unfortunately, by the time many of us get home the mozzies are flying around, the patio area is covered in leaves, and the birds have spent all day leaving their droppings all over the outdoor table and chairs.

Roofguard are the experts in the heat-reflective coatings field Roofguard are proud to announce the greatest leap in technological perfection in the roof membrane coating systems since their early days in the industry – the polyurethane roof coatings. For many years Roofguard worked along one of the biggest paint manufacturers in Australia. In the last 5 years Roofguard tested and trialled the latest and the best in the painting game - polyurethane technology created in Germany. Polyurethane roof coatings have a huge advantage over the traditional Australian elastomeric acrylics. Polyurethane technology enables the product to stick to all known roof surfaces, meaning that polyurethane do not require sealers to be applied prior to the coating, which cuts down time and cost.

a huge advantage, which is having a roof looking and performing great, as we offer an unbeatable 10 year warranty for most roof surfaces. Roofguard is the sole user of the German polyurethane product, which is now marketed under a corporate agreement as Roofguard Solar Reflect. Roofguard has been operating as a family business for over 30 years in the Townsville area. They have always used different advanced roof products as they have become available and some of these products are on the market today as a result of Roofguard’s fieldwork in developing and trialling them.

Combined with the huge advantage of mould being unable to grow on the surface of polyurethane, Roofguard is able to deliver to clients

APPRENTICE TRAINING

BLENDED OFFSITE COLLEGE ONSITE FLEXIBLE TRAINING WORKS BEST!

Biga Training has developed a training model that breaks away from the traditional 4 week block. Biga training will only book apprentices for a week at a time. If they can complete the subjects quicker in that week they will be returned to work or they will be given more subjects. The blended model allows for one on one time with a trainer to pick up on the finer detail and those trade tricks. Our trainers have many years of experience within their trades in Queensland conditions. The blended model also allows for the apprentice to attend college if work is slow or on wet days.

ONSITE PORTION

Biga Training is able to deliver training and assessment to apprentices on site. The apprentice will work through task based work books, completing both theory and practical components onsite. The apprentice will need to capture pictures or video of them completing practical tasks relevant to the subject; they will also be required to keep a diary of work performed that is verified by the employer. Your trainer will be in regular contact, with both the employer and the apprentice, to see how the apprentice is progressing and will visit each apprentice at regular intervals throughout the year. All apprentices enrolled into this model of delivery will also be required to attend college to complete subjects that they are not exposed to onsite, unless they can demonstrate otherwise.

BENEFITS TO EMPLOYERS/APPRENTICES

• Early return to work if subjects completed quicker • Ability send apprentice to training if work is slow or wet days • Employer demonstrates meeting Award requirements by releasing apprentice to training • Apprentice does not incur further travel cost, we have campuses at Brendale, Salisbury and regional locations • Apprentices learn extra responsibilities of completing their work on time

WHY CHOOSE BIGA TRAINING RTO#30822 • Biga prides itself on quality training for industry that leads to better skilled tradespeople on the jobsite. • Biga promotes high practical activity components to reinforce skills when completing college subjects. • Biga training is a not for profit RTO guided by Directors from Industry; QMBA, BERT, CFMEU and AWCI.

• Apprentice is able to learn, practise and learn from mistakes at college not on the clients job The benefit of this model of training for both the apprentice and employer is it allows for apprentices to complete subjects both onsite and at college. The flexible training allows for tailored training plans to match what the apprentice is doing onsite.
