Foreword Welcome to the second edition of BuildIT in Western Australia. In conjunction with our publishers, Crowther Blayne, Master Builders is pleased to publish the second edition of BuildIT in WA. This publication will give you ready access to specialist contractors and suppliers to assist you with your next construction project. To have a hard copy booklet of this quality is a valuable addition to our Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s range of publications. With rapidly changing technologies, new technical regulations and tight completion deadlines, you need to be able to quickly track down people with the right skills and products. BuildIT satisfies this need, being a useful tool for members to help find other members, and for building clients to find builders, subcontractors and consultants in WA. The new hard copy publication shows that we have not yet moved to a completely paperless society. A quality hard copy publication in colour with handy contact details for suppliers, consultants and contractors will always retain its convenience and hence popularity. BuildIT supplements our new online initiatives at Master Builders to give customers access to members. Online at www.mbawa.com we have a popular A-Z building directory which gives you fingertip access to information on 200+ building topics, from alternative solutions to windows to energy efficiency options. Plus, a regularly updated Find a Member service provides contact details for Master Builders members around the state. Use these resources to your advantage and they will help you make the most out of your Master Builders membership. As always, I welcome feedback from members in response to this promotional magazine, which showcases a diverse range of reputable businesses in WA.

Awards Excellence in the building and construction industry is recognised by Master Builders with a series of awards presented during the year. These awards give builders, subcontractors and apprentices the opportunity to showcase their workmanship to industry colleagues and prospective clients. Winners may advance to our national awards for further recognition.

Master Builders-Bankwest Regional Building Excellence Awards

Master Builders-Bankwest Excellence in Construction Awards

Master Builders Apprentice of the Year Awards

Since 1989, the Master Builders-Bankwest Excellence in Construction Awards have been recognised as the hallmark event for the commercial, industrial and civil engineering sectors. Entries are received in categories such as new construction, renovation and refurbishment, building fitouts, multi-residential buildings and civil engineering structures, and are judged by an independent panel comprising representatives from Master Builders, Royal Australian Institute of Architects and Engineers Australia. The 2011 Master BuildersBankwest Excellence in Construction Awards will be held at Perth Convention Exhibition Centre on Saturday 25 June. Entries opened in January 2011.

These Awards recognise the skills, commitment and work ethic of apprentices. By fostering the aspirations of apprentices and rewarding their achievements, the Awards seek to ensure a continuing high level craftsmanship, and the emerging qualified tradespersons will help ensure the long term growth and sustainability of the building and construction. The Awards are normally held in October of each year, with entries open around July/August.

Master Builders-Bankwest Housing Excellence Awards The Master Builders-Bankwest Housing Excellence Awards were originally introduced in Western Australia in 1981. The Awards recognise the best builders based exclusively on their building excellence and quality of workmanship. A team of experienced building judges inspect nominations in new construction, display homes, renovations, single detached and group housing projects. The 2011 Master Builders-Bankwest Housing Excellence Awards will be held at Perth Convention Exhibition Centre on Saturday 12 March. Judging for the 2011 Awards took place in November 2010. Entries for the 2012 event will open in July 2011.

Vacuum Toilets Australia introduce a totally new concept in vacuum toilets never before seen in the Australian building industry. Compact, reliable and eco-friendly Jets™ vacuum toilets provide the same comfort and hygiene as water toilets, often even better. Our systems are compact, reliable, use less water and generate less sewage. Because of the reduced sewage volumes, treating or storing the sewage is less demanding than when dealing with traditional toilets. Cut water usage by up to 90% Using less than one litre of water to transport sewage, compared to 4.5-6 or more litres in traditional toilets, vacuum toilets from Jets™ are the perfect solution for buildings in regions where fresh water is scarce. In areas with high water prices, the considerable environmental benefits gained from using our systems are equalled only by the financial benefits of using 90% less fresh water. Reduce effluents by up to 90% Our Vacuumarator™ pump macerates sewage into tiny particles, resulting in a fine, easily transported pulp. The reduced volume of sewage enables the use of smaller treatment facilities. It also provides excellent raw material for biogas fuel production. Important and impressive numbers When 5,000 people use vacuum toilets every day, it generates 54,000,000 litres less sewage every year compared to water toilets using 6 litres per flush (and most toilets use more water). A family of 4 will save 43,000 litres of fresh water every year. For Australia the ramifications are huge. Generating vacuum in the piping The basic principle behind a vacuum toilet system is to use differences in air pressure to transport sewage from toilets and urinals (sometimes also grey water). In our modern vacuum systems, the Vacuumarator™ pump generates vacuum directly in the piping system. The entire piping system is kept at a constant vacuum level, normally between 35% and 50% (in a Constant Vacuum System - CVS™). Transporting sewage from toilets When a toilet is flushed, a valve in the toilet opens. Approximately 60 litres of air along with about 1 litre of water is sucked into the piping system because of the vacuum present in the piping. The water and sewage create a “slug”, which is transported through the piping system because of the different air pressure levels in front of and behind the slug. Air and bacteria in the toilet or bathroom is removed each time the toilet is flushed, leaving no odours. Re-forming slugs During the transport through the vacuum piping, the slug is affected by gravity and flattens out after a time. Slugs have to be re-formed in the piping. This is done by installing low points in the piping, known as transport pockets. As black water builds up in the transport pockets, new slugs are formed. At the next flush of a toilet, the slug moves on and reforms again and again in transport pockets further down the piping system. Simple yet advanced pump Vacuum is generated by one or more Vacuumarator™ pumps. Black water is macerated and pumped to a sewage treatment plant or a collecting tank or to the main sewer.

Bristile Roofing naturally inspiring Western Australians for nearly 100 years Established in 1929, Bristile Roofing has become a trusted and iconic brand in the Western Australian market.

Mr Lance Brisbane, from whom the company took its name, launched the terracotta division of the business in Perth. Through his hard work, and that of dedicated employees, the Bristile brand has grown to be synonymous with building products of the highest quality. Bristile products are known for durability, profile variation and selection of colours. Bristile product offerings constantly adapt to the various demands of builders and new building trends while the quality of craftsmanship remains the same. Bristile continues to deliver the best materials that offer a unique advantage, and superior performance, at the right price. The latest product offerings are Shingle tiles available in two distinct profiles, Monaco and Prague. These tiles were specifically designed to complement and harmonise with modern architectural designs. The Monaco profile is inspired by the individuality of the Monégasque lifestyle and architecture. The design of the Monaco profile is sleek and distinguished, and it is available in six different hues. The attention to detail in this tile will make any home truly outstanding. The Monaco profile was a simple choice for the superb 2009 Zorzi Appealathon home (pictured). The exquisite design of the home has set a high standard of future building designs. Zorzi Builders always look for the latest product design and the Monaco profile was the perfect product choice for this exclusive home. Drawing from the rich history of the Czech culture, the Prague profile has a unique textural finish that is exclusive to this clay tile. In a selection of three colours from the Valley Essentials range, the Prague profile will add to the appeal of any home. Inspired by Western Australia’s picturesque Swan Valley, Cocoa is the latest hue to be added to the Valley Essentials range. Cocoa is available in the Vienna, Monaco and Prague profiles and will provide depth and character to a home with rich earth tones. Bristile Roofing tiles are fired at extremely high temperatures so they will not fade, rust or corrode. In this way the home’s street appeal will be retained and this is backed by Bristile’s exclusive Colour for Life Warranty. Bristile Roofing clay tiles also feature a unique interlocking system to the head and side of each tile, providing greater protection from severe wind and rain. Contrary to urban myth, interlocking and nailing into clay tiles provide strong security to the home. Bristile clay tiles are extremely low maintenance and are a natural thermal mass insulator. In winter they help keep the cold out and the warmth in. In summer they keep the heat out and the cool air in. Being made from naturally occurring clay, Bristile Roofing clay tiles are also suitable for water collection proving to be a roofing solution that won’t cost the earth. Bristile Roofing tiles are made with naturally occurring clay that can be recycled into new clay tiles and bricks and creates less waste. The environmental benefits of these products are evident in the award winning Jade 808, and more recent Jade, 909 projects (pictured). Both of these projects are benchmarks in the push for sustainable home designs. The safe, long-lasting nature and fadeless qualities of Bristile Roofing clay tiles add to the resale value of any home. For beautiful and enduring roof tiles that out-perform other roofing materials, please visit our website or call one of our friendly customer service assistants.

Furnishings / decoration lighting and accessories

High power, low energy LED lighting solutions Our unique range of LED products have provided long life and energy efficient lighting solutions for industrial, government, commercial and private projects.

Lightsense Australia was established on the simple premise that LED lighting technology is the only viable option in the face of environmental sustainability. Our focus is high-end-high quality LED street and commercial lighting products which we distribute across Australia’s public and private sectors. The durability of our lights has received much praise in North Western Australia where dust, heat and water are all factors that have hindered pre-dated sodium and mercury vapour lights. Complete with a patented respiratory and heat dissipation system, our range has been awarded an IP66 rating. In addition to its robust structure and 50,000 hour life span, the aesthetic design is appealing to new commercial developments such as shopping centres and car parks. We have installed street, courtyard, flood, tunnel, tube and high bay lights for main roads, commercial projects, warehouses, hotels and offices throughout Victoria, New South Wales and Western Australia. Whilst the bottom line cost reductions offered by our LED products have been of major interest, such clients also require an aesthetic appearance which these lights deliver.

The quality of light offered by Lightsense’s product range also makes for a safer working and driving environment. The often observed ‘strobe effect’ of a standard mercury vapour or sodium light is non existent in an LED lamp making for a clearer, more consistent and equally distributed light pattern. With offices on the East and West coast, Lightsense Australia offers a nation wide service. We pride ourselves on our products and see maximum value in renewable energy applications such as solar power, an area where our Company is generating more and more business. We represent low energy, green and minimalist design LED lighting for a cleaner, cheaper and brighter commercial environment.

Permanent protective coatings for the home! EnduroShield is a revolutionary new product that is becoming the next big thing in the building and construction industry. A permanent, non-stick, protective coating which is ideal for application to bathroom, kitchen and outdoor surfaces. The areas range from shower screens, pool fencing, tiled shower recesses, splashbacks and stainless steel appliances. Not only does it keep surfaces looking brand new, the once-only application makes dirt, grime and soap scum easier to clean by up to 90 percent. As a value-adding product, EnduroShield can be applied during the building process and included in builders’ and glass installers’ initial specifications or it can be professionally applied to old surfaces in existing homes. EnduroShield WA also offers training and accreditation to glass companies so they can become certified applicators. The product itself uses a new, Australian-based technology that is neither silicone-based, nor a film. Just two molecules thick, EnduroShield does not affect the look or feel of the surface, it simply helps repel contaminants making the surface so much easier to clean. And with the right maintenance, time spent cleaning often produces much better results than before.

Enduroshield also offers a scratch and stain removal service:

GLASS STAIN REMOVAL Glass surfaces such as shower screens and glass railings are constantly exposed to harsh conditions that can cause damage to the glass. Hard water, soap, shampoos, lime scale, chemicals, salt and grime can all lead to staining and etching of the glass surface which cannot be removed with general household cleaners. Using the EnduroShield Glass Restoration System, glass can be brought back to a near new finish at a fraction of the cost of replacement to the customer.

GLASS SCRATCH REMOVAL One of the major drawbacks of glass is that it can easily be damaged or scratched. A large volume of glass is wasted as a result of scratching during fabrication, transport and onsite accidents. The EnduroShield Restoration System has been developed and extensively tested to remove scratches from all types of glass providing a solution to this everyday problem.

The one stop shop for metal doorframes JDS has added five new products that are now available to the market, Fascia, Deluxe Doorframes, Roof and Ceiling Battens.

Our new metal Fascia we have designed has been in use in the South West for some time now and has been met with rave reviews. Available in Zincalume and all Colourbond colours, JDS has made improvements in the design to make it stronger and allow the clip to connect to the fascia in a way where no clip marks are visible. JDS has also expanded its Commercial Doorframe division allowing us to press many more profiles and keep manufacturing times down. We now have the capacity to press doorframes that are 3mm thick and as complicated in profile as the negative rebate frame. The new JDS Deluxe profile doorframe is similar to those already available in the market. We have changed the profile slightly by making the returns slightly bigger and the overall profile a little bit sharper. The JDS Deluxe frame is available in 95 and 114 B/O and stocked in all sizes from a single frame to a four door combination frame. Our new Roof and Ceiling Battens meet what is already the industry standard. Made from Truecore the Roof and Ceiling Battens are available ex-stock in 6.1 meter lengths and can be delivered the next working day.

Stylish slimline drainage system Drainage has never looked so good: Stormtech’s drainage solutions combine elegance with efficiency, sustainability and adaptability.

Drainage has never looked so good: Stormtech’s drainage solutions combine elegance with efficiency, sustainability and adaptability. In the early 1990’s, John Creighton helped an architect design a shower without a rim for a wheelchair-bound client who wanted to be able to wash without the help of a carer, little did he know he would invent an award-winning drainage system that would take on the world. The 65A Slimline drain was patented and Stormtech became the first in Australia to offer lineal drainage for showers. Stormtech’s architectural stainless steel lineal drainage solutions are now used not only in showers, but in any wet areas, thresholds, door tracks, suspended slabs and balconies, driveways, pool surrounds, paved areas, for special needs access, and in both residential and commercial applications. They can be used in new builds, renovations, and can be installed in timber floors or concrete slabs. From this first application a variety of benefits were immediately noted. Firstly larger format tiles and floor surfaces could be employed. The floor, sloping towards one long, narrow grate and channel was all on the same plane. This allows the removal of hobs, steps and other floor level changes.

Australian Stainless Steel Development Association

Australian Stainless Steel Development Association The Australian Stainless Steel Development Association was established in 1992 by 30 companies with confidence in their industry’s future in Australia.

Today ASSDA has more than 200 member companies representing the stainless steel spectrum, including overseas mills, stockists and distributors, fabricators, engineering consultants, end users and service providers. ASSDA could not continue without the valuable support of its sponsors and members, who work with ASSDA to achieve its objective: To increase the consumption of stainless steel in Australia by providing advice and support for people using stainless steel. ASSDA’s activities in supporting the stainless steel industry focus on education, problem solving, networking, lobbying and promotion.

Publications

Education

Promotion and Lobbying

ASSDA’s education vehicles include the popular Stainless Steel Specialist Course, seminars, videos, interactive packages and publications. The Stainless Steel Specialist Course comprises 17 stainless steel topics. Presented in an e-learning/study at home environment, the Stainless Steel Specialist Course offers a level of stainless steel education unequalled in Australia. The e-learning environment is rich, fast and interactive, enabling students to obtain results and knowledge at up to half that of the more traditional training note method. ASSDA architectural and engineering seminars are free, in-house seminars that are an excellent introduction to stainless steel for engineers and architects and a great way to unveil some of the mysteries of hesitations behind the use of stainless steel. The ASSDA holds regular seminars and an annual stainless steel conference. PacRim Stainless has largely become the event of the stainless steel year, with 2008 offering a fantastic program located in sunny Townsville. Seminars have covered topics including stainless steel rebar, stainless steel in the food industry, marine applications, grade selection and welding. Other seminars include “tea staining” of stainless steel, the 50 most commonly asked questions about stainless steel, cutting techniques, pickling and passivation and stainless steel finishing.

ASSDA promotes the interests of member companies and the industry as a whole. In recent years, ASSDA has become involved in issues including tariff concession orders and local content requirements. The Buyers’ Guide and Members’ Listing in the Reference Manual are just two examples of the promotional vehicles accessible through ASSDA. ASSDA members also receive web exposure via ASSDA’s website and organisation profiling in the Stainless Steel Bulletin. ASSDA’s achievements include: • Circulation figures of nearly 8,000 for Australian Stainless magazine. • Publication of six Australian Stainless Reference Manuals. • Development of a Stainless Steel Specialist Course, with more than 2,000 Australian and overseas students. • ASSDA representation on a number of Standards Australia committees. • Persistent lobbying of government bodies on issues such as welding fume and tariffs. • Flourishing ASSDA Chapters in Victoria, New South Wales, Western Australia and Queensland.

Problem Solving ASSDA answers approximately 1500 technical inquiries every year, utilising its own technical specialist, as well as a wide network of metallurgists and stainless steel experts. This service is provided with assistance from ASSDA members, who give freely their time and expertise.

Networking ASSDA seminars and conferences provide networking opportunities for attendees, while ASSDA Chapters in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and Western Australia provide a regular forum for professional and social discussion.

ASSDA produces a range of publications including the very popular Australian Stainless magazine, with a distribution list of up to 8,000 readers each quarter. The bi-annual Reference Manual has largely become the industry ‘bible’ for the stainless steel industry. ASSDA also produces a bi-monthly Bulletin specifically for members, updating them on news, events and current issues for the industry. Advertising is available in all of ASSDA’s publications and is open for members and organisations whose clients would typically be members of ASSDA.

The benefits of KONE MonoSpace® • More building space and lower construction costs • Impressive energy savings • High-quality interior designs • Full service throughout your building’s lifecycle

KONE MonoSpace® – The industry standard for machine-room-less elevators Since its introduction in 1996, KONE MonoSpace® has become the standard that other manufacturers aspire to.

It also saves construction time and materials.

Better eco-efficiency KONE MonoSpace® elevators, powered by the KONE EcoDisc® hoisting motor, consume less energy and result in lower thermal losses than traditional machines.

Energy efficiency in the built environment Energy efficiency in buildings reduces energy costs and waste, reducing operating costs and greenhouse gas emissions.

With growing demand in the market, more environmentally friendly buildings are also returning premiums on building values and in the rental market, greater tenant attraction and reduced vacancy periods, ensuring a better return on investment for property owners. A US study on buildings built with sustainability as a keystone for design and construction, found that the operating costs of these buildings is nine percent lower, building values were almost eight percent higher, and return on investment for property owners improved by around seven percent. It underscores the fact that a more sustainable approach to construction makes good business sense. Many large organisations are now demanding green commercial buildings because there is clear evidence that employees in green buildings demonstrate enhanced productivity, particularly because of fewer sick days, but also employers are discovering better staff retention when their business demonstrates credible environmental commitment.

The Green Building Fund provides direct grants of $50,000 to $500,000 to assist in the retrofitting of existing buildings to improve their environmental performance. Details on Green Building Fund on AusIndustry website www.ausindustry.gov.au

New building projects and refurbishment of existing buildings are increasingly considering a range of measures, including energy and water efficiency, indoor environment quality (especially air quality) and resource conservation. These measures are equally relevant in commercial offices, retail centres, factories, hospitals, schools and universities, as well as homes and multi-unit residential facilities. And it is not only markets that are driving this – the built environment is a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions, and in addressing Australia’s response to global warming, the Federal Government has a Green Building Fund, a program that has recently been expanded to include shopping centres and hotels.

Smart meter, smart home, smart car, smart grid Smart meters are the BMW 3 series to the current (dumb) meter’s Model T Ford. A smart meter can be interrogated and will tell you how much power you are using, and when you are using it and can communicate this to the smart grid network, improving the electricity provider’s ability to know when you want power and how much you want. And if you generate solar, wind or other renewable electricity, how much you are feeding back into the grid. Smart grids are better for supporting a district power generation network than the traditional ‘dumb’ grid system, making distributed renewable energy generation more effective, and reducing the need for massive distribution systems. A smart home automation system integrates electrical devices in a house with each other that can help with managing the house or even getting jobs done. Home automation may include centralised control of lighting, heating, ventilation and air conditioning, appliances, and other systems, to provide improved convenience, comfort, energy efficiency and security. A smart house includes systems within the home that can be managed on an individual appliance or device basis and allow home automation and home integration with smart grid technologies. Devices can connect and be controlled through a computer, and so allow remote access via a smart phone or web browser. With the coming revolution in electric vehicles, all the smarts will also soon include your car. Electric vehicles will provide an energy storage source that will help power our homes and reduce our electricity – and fuel - bills. Smart meter connections will assist in charging cars, but from time to time allow electricity to flow from cars to the electricity grid and provide “vehicle to grid” back up power, or V2G. Cars pack a lot of power and in a true smart grid, electric cars will be able to send electricity stored in their batteries back into the grid

when it is needed. One typical electric vehicle can put out over 10kW, the average draw of 6-8 houses, which means that if most households have one, very little will be needed to act as backup. The key to realising economic value from V2G is precise timing of its grid power production to fit within driving requirements while meeting the timecritical power “dispatch” of the electricity distribution system. Vehicle-to-grid technologies will talk across the internet, giving you access to performance data of your vehicle, and let you know remotely about how much range your car has. As the sustainable energy industry takes off, it brings benefits and challenges, one of which is the intermittency of power generated from wind and solar sources. The electricity network can tell the vehicle to grid connections to draw power from the vehicles when demand suddenly out strips generation capacity. The consumer has the power to sell the stored surplus electricity in their battery depending on the time of day, and how much that electricity is worth to the utility. Your calendar integrated in your smart phone will tell your car whether your car should let some charge go to support the grid, or whether your just about to need it to go somewhere, and so not volunteer to give up some juice, making sure you’ve got all you need for your journey. When your appointment reminder pops up to say its time to go across town to pick up the kids from school or to get to the next meeting, it will also let you know you’ve got a full charge to make the trip. Smart meters, smart wiring, smart phones and smart homes will become the norm in the next few years and will talk to the smart cars in the drive.

Black roof, white roof, green roof At a simple level, roof colour can have a strong impact on the thermal dynamics of a house or building, determining how quickly it might heat up in the sun. U.S. Secretary of Energy Steven Chu has advocated the world switch to white roofs and pavement in urban areas, a change that is claimed would eliminate as much as five percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. The suggestion is based around US studies from the late 1990s that have shown that white roofing systems can reduce space cooling energy use by an average of 19 percent (Parker and Barkaszi, 1997). A team of recent MIT graduates developed roof tiles that change color based on the temperature. The tiles become white when it’s hot, allowing them to reflect away most of the sun’s heat. When it’s cold they turn black and absorb heat.The team’s lab measurements show that in their white state, the tiles reflect about 80 percent of the sunlight falling on them, while when black they reflect only about 30 percent. Not surprisingly, dark roofs have been found to be the

hottest in the afternoon, and if this adds heat to the house, pushes up air-conditioning demand to a higher level at a time when peak energy demand is already elevated simply by ambient temperature. The Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC) has measured summer attic thermal performance of six roofs at a heavily instrumented test site, the Flexible Roof Facility. This work suggests that white tile roofing system offers the best thermal performance in hot climates of those tested. While the simple translation of reflective colours can translate to energy savings, as with life, things are not always simple. Some projects are looking to make use of dark roofs as an energy source, with the extra heat can be used by heat pumps to drive other processes such as airconditioners.

Green roofs and heat islands The solar energy absorbed into concrete buildings and asphalt street surfaces is transformed into heat, making it significantly hotter than surrounding rural areas, a phenomenon known as the urban heatisland effect. “Green” roofs are those covered with vegetation – usually growing on top of a waterproof membrane. According to a 2006 report from the New York City Regional Heat Island Initiative, green roofs can cool near-surface air temperatures by an average of 16.4 degrees Celsius per unit area, slightly behind street trees in terms of heat island mitigating potential.

Sustainable Building / Energy Efficiency Solar energy equipment

Solar power sized to your home or buildings energy needs As the housing boom across Australia continues to evolve, one of the biggest challenges for builders and developers is to build affordable housing, while meeting or exceeding a range of sustainability standards.

With all new homes and buildings requiring minimum energy efficiency ratings, solar power is increasingly becoming a critical part of the sustainability solution. Solar power offers new homeowners the ability to take energy efficiency to a whole new level, by actually generating electricity right at home. Not only does this save money every month on electricity bills, it also decreases your dependence on the electricity grid, spinning your meter backwards as the solar electricity is fed into the grid. Most on-grid solar power systems will last 25 years or more and provides homeowners with a hedge against ever-rising energy prices. In addition to these savings, an on-grid solar power system gives homeowners an active and demonstrable role in their energy future and carbon footprint. Installing solar power at the time a new home or building is constructed can save thousands of dollars in the overall cost of an on-grid solar power system. From retrofitting mounting equipment and roofing structures, to re-running cables and completing any additional

electrical work at the switchboard all costs money. These costs can be reduced when installing solar power at the time of the buildings construction. Sizing the system to the forecasted energy loads of the planned development, dealing with experienced and qualified solar specialists and partnering with world class brands, will reduce the risk and cost of the chosen on-grid solar power system. Take advantage of solar credits, feed in tariffs and the experts at Trina Solar. They can design the on-grid solar system for your organisation and deliver the logistics to make solar a part of all your new projects. Call 1300 TRINA 1 The power behind the panel.

Association of Wall and Ceiling Industries Australia and New Zealand (AWCIANZ)

Association of Wall and Ceiling Industries Australia & New Zealand (AWCIANZ) The Association of Wall and Ceiling Industries Australia & New Zealand (AWCIANZ) represents the interests of member companies and plasterers in Australia & New Zealand.

The Association was formed from the merger of two associations, the Country Fibrous Plasterers Association (established 1924) and the Metropolitan Fibrous Plasterers Association (established 1934). Manufacturers of fibrous plaster products formed these associations as a networking base for their manufacturing and contracting interests and joined with independent contractors to address industry-wide issues. After years of co-existence the two associations merged into a single body and a new constitution was adopted. The stated reason for the merger was to obviate unnecessary duplication. However, it should be noted that production of fibrous plaster lining board had peaked in 1959 and it was losing market share to plaster board, a high-tech, paper-faced plaster-core lining board, capable of high volume manufacture. Fibro was also making its mark as a lining board, following its popularity as an exterior cladding product. Association members saw that combining their resources would strengthen their influence. In consultation with the plaster manufacturers (also known as ‘millers’) a levy was established on each ton of plaster manufactured in Australia for use in industry. With the commencement of plasterboard manufacture the levy continued. The manufacturers formed the Gypsum Linings Council, which oversaw payment of the levy to the Federation to encourage the delivery of Australian made gypsum linings products to the community. The secondary purpose was for developing training initiatives to ensure quality training and trade skills for those entering the industry. Interaction with other States at the federal level had been a strong function of the association from 1945, with the annual national conferences enabling sharing of experiences and addressing technical and other industry issues. The federal body commenced as the Fibrous Plaster Federation of Australia, adding New Zealand to its name in 1961, and in 1980 becoming the Federation of Wall and Ceiling Contractors of Australia and New Zealand. Each of the Australian State bodies followed this national lead and New Zealand joined, to establish the Association of Wall and Ceiling Contractors of Australia & New Zealand in 1990, under a new constitution Registration under the Australia & New Zealand Industrial Relations Acts was as a union of employers. In 1995 to recognise the importance to the industry of the roles of manufacturers, training bodies, consultants, ancillary product suppliers and other service providers, the federal body

changed its name to the Federation of Wall and Ceiling Industries of Australia and New Zealand, with each of the States agreeing to progressively follow the principles established. The equivalent US body had for many years been known as The Association of Wall and Ceiling Industry, adding some justification to the use of a more internationally recognised association name. Accordingly, in 2007 the Australian & New Zealand body changed its name to the Association of Wall and Ceiling Industries of Australia & New Zealand (AWCIANZ), a truly embracing industry body for all the sections of the industry as it presently operates.

Window / Door Glass merchant / glaziers

Food for thought… We all know about insulating our ceilings, but do they deserve the worst insulation rap sheet in the building envelope?

Contrary to popular opinion, doors and windows (which typically make up less than ten percent of the building envelope) are perhaps better known as the unsung villains of energy loss. How can something responsible for an astounding 87% of the heat gained in summer and up to 50% of the heat lost in winter months* be forgotten? There’s never been much focus on the issues with our old-fashioned doors and windows because there was never much of an alternative, and electricity was cheap. With contemporary building design looking to enhance the visual connection between internal and external design elements, bring natural lighting and improved comfort and at the same time incorporate sustainable and energy efficient design, the selection of high performance glazing solutions is becoming less of a luxury, and more of a necessity. As we embrace outdoor entertaining and enjoy expansive openings such as bifolds and sliding stacking systems, the percentage of the building envelope devoted to glazing is actually increasing. With 6 star energy ratings and mandatory building energy performance disclosure just around the corner it looks like Australia is set to join the rest of the world in choosing double glazing as a standard specification in new home design. Without being forced to specify exotic and expensive ‘Low E’, ‘K’ and spectrally selective glazing combinations double glazing offers windows more than three times the energy efficiency of the standard sliding aluminium systems most

of us are familiar with in our homes. Of course double glazing is of little use unless the frame that holds it is also energy efficient, which is why multi-chamber uPVC frames are now the standard in Europe, the Middle East and the United States. We’re going to be seeing a lot more of them over here, it’s only a matter of time. Beyond the obvious energy efficiency increase, double glazing in contemporary and stylish u-PVC gives us the freedom to design more inviting and naturally lit living environments and can bring relief from noisy inner-city and hightraffic areas with superior double compression seal design, innovative multi-point locking systems and virtually maintenance-free one-piece welded frames. *source: ‘The Sustainable Home’ by Vic Moen http://www.agga.org.au/images/ downloads/library/sustainableHomepresentation.pdf

Window / door Louvres and Shutters

Louvre window system for natural ventilation Glass louvre window systems designed, engineered and made in Germany are one of the most asked essential building blocks for green buildings around the world - now available in Australia.

The envelope of the building exerts an important influence on the energetic characteristics, the utility and the aesthetic effect of the structure. Windows as a component of the envelope, with their physical characteristics and their functions, significantly determine the utility of the building and the wellbeing of the people who spend time in it. With keywords like natural ventilation, night cooling, extraction of passive solar energy, daylight control, noise abatement and reduction of primary energy the facade has become an essential component of the building ecology. Louvre windows and louvre facades meet these requirements perfectly. There are only a few manufacturers around the world and just a handful in Germany who are specialised in louvre window systems. Schneider noelke is definitely a key player in this very special market. It was in 2009 when Winco Systems Australia and Schneider Noelke Germany decided to team up to service the Australian market. The success in a short period of time is obvious: already more than 20 clients decided to integrate the product in their projects, which span from residential, schools, universities, research institutes, community facilities, hospitals to commercial high rise inner city buildings.

The key behind the demand for this particular manufacturer is the huge variety of types of louvre windows on offer: • Framed and frameless, single and double glazed, centre pivoting and top pivoting, • Huge selection of glass thicknesses (6mm – 32mm) and glass types, • Blade sizes from 150mm – 600mm height to a width span up to 4000mm, • No wind or rain leakage because of surrounding seals and thorough testing procedures, • Flexibility to make the system tailored to customer requirements, • Manual and motor operated windows, • Suitable and certified for smoke and heat ventilation and • Most important first class proven German accuracy and quality.

WA’s #1 AFS specialist the superior solution for the construction of multi-level buildings HD Projects WA specializes in the supply and installation of AFS Logicwall (Architectural Framing System) for residential, commercial and industrial developments in Perth and throughout, Western Australia. As the most experienced wall panel installers in Western Australia, we have enjoyed working on many high-profile multidwelling, commercial and residential projects. Our portfolio of projects is ever expanding, with over 45 projects completed and another 7 developments currently in construction.

The structural capability and performance characteristics of the AFS Logicwall make it the superior solution for the construction of multi-level buildings. There are a number of key benefits to utilising this system, including: • speed of construction - the system is renowned for its fast and simple construction, leading to time-efficient project completion. • cost efficiencies – as the need for blockwork, rendering and plasterboard are reduced, major cost and time savings may be realised. In addition, there is minimal wastage on-site, resulting in a cleaner, safer workplace. • superior structural capacity - the thinner, high strength walls of the AFS Logicwall system reduce the dead load on the structure as they act as deep beams and transfer walls. This enables traditional beams and columns to be eliminated and the thickness of the building’s floor slab to be reduced. • performance - the monolithic character of the system offers consistent, high acoustic ratings which are BCA compliant. The walls also offer excellent fire test results, lateral load resistance, and reduced wind and seismic load capacity. • quality - the system delivers a finished concrete wall lined, both sides with durable, fibre cement sheets. The AFS Logicwall provides accuracy in floor to floor wall alignment, resulting in straight and plumb walls.

Rawlinsons Construction Cost books 2011 Rawlinsons has been producing building price books since 1983 and is the leading source of construction cost information in Australia.

Rawlinsons publications are highly respected by all involved in construction, from government departments at all levels; bankers; developers; builders; risk assessors; architects; engineers; quantity surveyors; building owners; hospitals and health sectors; insurers; etc., and our publications have areas of interest covering the requirements of these and many other professionals. Rawlinsons Australian Construction Handbook was first published in 1983 following our review and assessment that such a publication was much needed and it was subsequently received with great enthusiasm by the industry. Amongst the areas covered in this book are building price indices; building costs per square metre; elemental costs; comparative costs; detailed prices; refurbishing and recycling; green initiatives; labour and plant constants; building planning, administration and management; rental reviews; and international construction costs. The Handbook is a 950-page, hard covered book and is targeted at commercial projects. Rawlinsons Construction Cost Guide was formulated particularly for the small commercial and domestic market when we perceived

there was a need for costings for the smaller project. Now, in 2011, in its 19th edition, this publication covers building indices; estimating; detailed prices; renovations; labour constants; and property insurance. It is a 275-page book, and is not designed to compete with the Handbook in its content, but rather to compliment it. The cost of Rawlinsons Australian Construction Handbook 2011 is $375 each, whilst Rawlinsons Construction Cost Guide 2011 costs $248 each. Both these prices include GST, courier delivery to your street address and, quarterly updates for April, July and October 2011. Rawlinsonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; construction cost books can be ordered online at www.rawlinsons.com; by phone on 08 9424 5800; by fax on 08 9277 9065; by email at info@rawlinsons.com.

Sensible luxury for homes If you have never previously considered a domestic elevator, you will be surprised and delighted by our contemporary range of products. A domestic elevator is a sensible addition to your home that can improve its amenity into the future. Where stairs may be a problem for young children or older family members, a Grant Elevators product makes your home safer and more comfortable.

The elegance and practicality of a Grant Elevators product will add value to your property. All our elevators exhibit space-efficient designs and have low energy requirements.

For a truly stunning appearance, there is also the option to fully customise the fit-out of any of our elevator models.

Initial construction costs are assisted by the ease of installation of our products and minimal shaft requirements.

Architects, designers and building owners will particularly appreciate the potential for customisation and superior engineering that our elevators offer. Our elevators integrate completely into interior spaces, blending in visually while working smoothly and quietly.

Service and technical support We are dedicated to ensuring your elevator is most suited to your requirements from the early stages of planning right through to installation. Not only do we provide assistance in product recommendation and customisation, we take an active role in the installation process to ensure this process happens smoothly. This includes reviewing the building site prior to arrival of your product. We will work alongside builders and tradespeople to ensure that the building is prepared for the arrival and installation of your product. Through our commitment and attention to detail, we work to save you time and ensure efficient and trouble-free operation. Grant Elevators are committed to providing you and your elevator with the highest level of service throughout the life of your product. We provide a comprehensive guarantee to all Grant Elevators products, and provide Australia-wide service.

Concrete Sawing and Drilling Association – Australia (CSDAA)

What makes a CSDAA member different? CSDAA contractor members are experts in their field - they have the knowledge and experience to do the job right.

CSDAA members stay abreast of the latest in cutting technology and employ the most effective and technologically advanced tools available. CSDAA contractor members have access to the highest level of professional training programs in the industry and can have certified operators on many jobs. Therefore, CSDAA trained operators have experience on the most difficult jobs and applications. When you use a CSDAA contractor member you’ll also experience the security in knowing that safety is always of utmost importance. Many CSDAA members are also equipped to help not only in the cutting and removal of concrete, but also in its disposal. All of these factors translate into cost-effective methods and techniques which result in cost saving for your company.

There are many advantages of specifying concrete cutting with diamond tools such as: • Precise cutting, fast cutting and relatively quiet • Concrete cutting can be completed in limited access areas, underwater, and in areas where remote cutting is required • Ability to cut precise cuts or holes without damaging surrounding material • Less noise, dust and debris than other conventional methods of demolition • Vibration free • The most effective way to remove large amounts of concrete while maintaining the structural integrity of the building or structure.

NOISE, DUST, DEBRIS Disruptive Loud Creates rubble Extremely dusty Time-consuming clean-up LIMITED ACCESS Inflexible equipment Restricted movement Underwater operations difficult or impossible Difficult to work around piping and equipment

CSDAA members are specialists in precision concrete cutting and core drilling and are just the kind of specialty contractors you need on those tough concrete removal, renovation or construction projects. • Flat sawing   • Concrete and asphalt grinding   • Wall sawing   • Road profiling   • Hand sawing   • Wall chasing   • Wire sawing   • Concrete removal   • Core drilling • Demolition    • Concrete and asphalt grooving  CSDAA contractors are professionals who will use the best techniques and equipment for the most cost-effective cutting. CSDAA contractor members are the best sub-contractors to bring projects in on time and on budget. Concrete cutting provides significant cost savings over conventional removal methods.

Cutting slabs  Flat sawing is the technique used to saw pavement, floors, roofs, bridge decks, dams and culverts whose surfaces are close to a horizontal plane. Whether you need joints sawed or cleaned, conduit or cable runs installed, areas of slab removed or smaller cut outs made, CSDAA contractors can do the job for you quickly and expertly.

Removing thick concrete  Diamond wire sawing, although not as common as the other types of concrete sawing, is the perfect choice when a job requires removal of a thick piece of concrete. Diamond wire sawing is a good choice on projects such as dismantling of nuclear power plants, dams, bridges or chimney stacks. CSDAA members are experienced in the removal of heavy pieces of concrete.

Sawing walls  Wall sawing is the technique used when cutting concrete, brick, block, stone or stucco walls – CSDAA contractor members can cut any and every type of wall. For example, in building renovation when new openings are required for windows or doors, diamond sawing can save builders an incredible amount of time and money by making openings faster and cleaner than alternative methods. The most important thing to remember is that CSDAA contractor members are specialised in cutting concrete.

Drilling holes  Core drilling is the technique used to drill holes in concrete. Typical projects requiring holes to be drilled might include holes in concrete for handrails, anchors, pipes, conduit, access, or vents. CSDAA members can efficiently drill small or large diameter holes of depths up to 30m with minimal deviation.

Wonder Walls – retaining walls with a difference Wonder Walls are leaders in the manufacture and installation of landscaping construction retaining walls. Offering service, quality and economy, Wonder Walls have been manufacturing their products for over 25 years.

Wonder Walls retaining walls are made from factory precast steel reinforced concrete posts and panels. Assembled on site, the walls are strong and durable, and can retain up to 1.5m. There are many advantages to using a Wonder Walls retaining wall. They take up minimal space as they can retain right to the edge of the block, with a fence capable of being erected immediately behind the wall. Apart from being relatively simple to install, Wonder Walls are both maintenance free and cost effective, and they are generally cheaper than other retaining wall systems. Apart from the retaining of sand pads, Wonder Walls are used for the terracing of steep slopes, attractive garden edging, retaining where space is limited, and for the replacement of termite infected sleepers. It is also possible to retain the edge of a sloping driveway as a light vehicle loading surcharge wall can also be installed.

As Western Australia’s longest established manufacturer of this type of retaining wall, Wonder Walls is committed to a superior finish on each and every job, and its staff is highly trained and experienced. The Supervisors and Estimators have had extensive experience as subcontractor installers prior to joining Wonder Walls, and there is a wealth of experience in the Factory and Administration. Wonder Walls client list is impressive and a constant stream of referrals and repeat business reflect the company’s commitment to quality and service excellence.

design / Inspect / Manage Project Management

Wearing badges of honour Construction, project and design management, Badge have been receiving accolades for their work for over 25 years now, and it’s not just from clients.

Over 10 years ago, the West Australian office of Badge started in a small office in Subiaco with a staff of just one. That staff member Robert Woodforde, still remains at the helm of the business unit today, however with larger offices in Osborne Park and a staff of no less than 50, the business has come a long way since it’s beginnings in South Australia in 1983. For the last decade, the team has been producing quality constructions that have received industry accolades through associations such as the Master Builders and the Australian Institute of Building. This industry recognition is important at Badge, for more reasons than one. It is a sign of quality and unique construction methods and a delivery process that leaves satisfied clients, often returning to Badge for further works in the future. Badge partners with clients to produce a project that fits the required criteria. It’s not about telling clients what they want; it’s about listening to their needs and turning that in to a practical outcome a real partnership throughout the life of the project. Building partnerships with subcontractors is just as important at Badge. Subcontractors are often involved with considerable depth in the construction outcomes for the project and often, find themselves challenged, but for those that succeed, their reward is being welcomed in to the Badge family and that brings its own benefits that any of that

group can certainly attest to. Recognition from within the industry also provides Badge employees and subcontractors with an immense feeling of satisfaction, that they are regarded for the work they spend their working life undertaking. Personal pride overflows at award ceremonies, and it doesn’t stop once the night is over. So yes, awards are very important at Badge - but for so many other reasons than filling the trophy cabinet.

Australian Institute of Architects

Australian Institute of Architects The Australian Institute of Architects is a national body consisting of almost 10,000 members across Australia and overseas.

The Institute was formed in 1930 when state architectural Institutes combined to form a unified national association with the following aims: • To advance architecture • To maintain the integrity and standing of the profession • To promote the profession’s views nationally and internationally, and • To encourage the study of architecture Since then, the Australian Institute of Architects has evolved into a dynamic and progressive national organisation with active programs in many areas relating to the architectural profession. We also provide services to other sectors of the community. By promoting better, responsible and environmental design, the Institute actively lobbies to maintain and improve the quality of our built environment. Raising design standards in our cities, urban areas, commercial and residential buildings, architects and the Institute have a major role in shaping Australia’s future. The Australian Institute of Architects has established the highest professional standards. They are encouraged to undertake Continuing Professional Development (CPD), are obliged to behave in accordance with our Code of Professional Conduct and as a result are more likely to be better informed and more up-to-date on all matters architectural. The Institute offers a wide range of services to its membership. Knowledge Services keeps members abreast of the latest ideas, technology and trends in architecture by providing detailed advice including practice, law, cautionary and client notes, and coordinating an extensive CPD program at both national and state level. Training is provided through event based seminars and an accessible online training resource; www.continuum.com.au. Our members receive Australia’s premier architectural magazine, Architecture Australia , as well as chapter bulletins and other publications. In answer to growing environmental concerns within society, the Institute produces the Environment Design Guide. Impeccably researched and presented, this service offers quarterly supplements containing articles on all aspects of design in order to develop projects which are ecologically sustainable.

“Architecture is not an inspirational business, it’s a rational procedure to do sensible and hopefully beautiful things; that’s all” Harry Seidler

As a further service to our members, the Institute conducts research on relevant issues such as market conditions, staffing levels and practice operating costs. By analysing the results, the Institute is able to monitor issues which affect its members and provide informed advice. The Australian Institute of Architects is represented on dozens of national and state industry and government bodies, and is affiliated with the Union International Architecture (UIA).

Heating / cooling Fireplaces

Stunning gas log fireplaces Definitely the only gas fireplace you should be installing.

Escea is a relatively young gas fireplace manufacturer but that hasn’t stopped it from becoming a major player in the world market in a very short time. The guiding philosophy of the company is that the home fireplace should not only be efficient and easy to use, it should be a thing of beauty. Nigel Bamford, CEO of Escea, refers to his company’s products as being “Furniture with Flames”. The Indoor “IB” series fires come in two widths the IB850 is 1060mm wide across the fascia while the IB1100 is 1360mm across the fascia. Both models burn 40 Mj per hour and come with an electronic remote control that includes a timer and a thermostat. These fireplaces are ideal to have a flat screen TV mounted above them giving you many options when planning the layout of a room. In addition to the standard beveled fascia there are now the options of “squared” and “insert” designer series fronts. The Squared front sits out from the wall giving the appearance of a floating fireplace while the clean edges and sharp lines provide a strong and graphic design feature to be the focus of your room.

The inset front sits inside your fire surround, and provides a completely flush, minimalist profile. This allows you to exercise your creativity to create a focus point in your room by selecting exotic wall materials such as Italian marble. The Outdoor Fireplace at 1280 wide and the option of polished stainless steel or powder coated satin black front forms a magnificent focal point to any outdoor entertaining area and provides 52Mj of heating directed to your outdoor area. Just great for outdoor entertaining that goes on into the evening. Whether inside or outside, the perfect focal point is an Escea gas fire.

Hire and Rental Industry Association Ltd (HRIA)

Hiring makes good economic sense Reflecting on the difficult couple of years just faced by the building and construction industries, and related markets, Hire and Rental Industry Association Ltd (HRIA) Chief Executive Officer, Phil Newby said the good news is hiring equipment is fully tax deductible, and makes good economic sense during tough economic conditions.

“Hiring is a proven method all contractors can use. Even though the current economic crisis is not over, the hire industry in Australia generally has weathered the storm well so far,” Mr Newby said. “The past year or two have been tough financially for the hire industry in Australia, but the hire industry is resilient,” he said. “This resilience can in part be attributed to the fact hiring equipment is fully tax deductible which makes good economic sense during tough economic conditions when the future order book is uncertain. This is great news for contractors and the building industry in general. “By hiring, contractors can offset any outlays, recoup some of their operational costs, and limit their overall capital equipment purchases, all while enabling a wider range of jobs outside what they might normally do,” Mr Newby said. “Hiring’s desirably cost-effective and beneficial business edge has helped the industry and all industries utilising its equipment and services to weather what has been a turbulent and economically challenging year.” “The hire fee can be recovered in one year, not spread out over several years which happens when equipment is purchased. “Also, builders and contractors can have immediate access to a huge range of modern equipment. New equipment can be trialled, via hiring, on the job for the days required without any capital

outlay or the need to take on new debt. “Once the job is finished, the equipment can be returned, without the worry of depreciation, repairs, maintenance and storage costs, or whether that piece of equipment will ever be needed again. “All the costs are up front for the equipment hired, and, making even better economic sense, the hire fee can be charged back to the client. “Adding to the benefits, equipment hired from an HRIA member company guarantees equipment reliability and efficiency,” Mr Newby said. “Hiring equipment can also help builders and contractors meet peak demands by offering and supplying more equipment when business is at its busiest. “Essentially, hiring returns control to the construction industry by offering options and allowing builders to plan when equipment is required and when it’s not.. “The hire and rental industry in Australia, represented by key industry body, the HRIA, professionally meets frequent and widely variable business needs with safe, up-to-date and specialist equipment for dedicated jobs,” Mr Newby said. With over 700 members and valued $3.8Bn (IBIS), the HRIA industry covers a range of equipment, from general plant hire, DIY hire, portable buildings, construction, access and events. Members include rental companies, suppliers and service providers with rental members ranging from national multi-location companies

such as Coates Hire and Kennards Hire to single location, ownermanager hire shops. The Australian rental industry operates across many industries, including the construction industry, offering reliable, well-serviced and well-maintained equipment. Another major benefit of hiring is education and instruction on the safe and correct use of equipment operators receive upon hiring from reputable hire companies and HRIA members. Operator and workplace safety makes good business sense All HRIA members work to a self-regulated industry ‘Code of Conduct’ which focuses on safety, reliability and quality of equipment and support. End users, like the building and construction industries, have the opportunity to be instructed in the safe handling of building and renovating equipment simply by hiring the equipment from an HRIA member business. Members of the HRIA work hard to make operators aware of the importance of safety. As part of the process of hiring out equipment, hire companies conform to a rigorous set of regulatory requirements plus have additional systems and services in place for operator education. Regulatory requirements identified by the Occupational Health & Safety Act, and overseen by Workcover Inspectors in the field, are stringently adhered to by HRIA members companies to ensure the highest standard of safety for both employees and hirers of equipment. The HRIA, as a national industry association, maintains a close eye on changes to safety legislation and works with its members to develop national codes of business management to ensure safety measures are identified, adopted and implemented into HRIA member businesses. All rental equipment is thoroughly checked and maintained prior to each hire and electrically tested and tagged as applicable. All rental equipment is hired out complete with written operating instructions, warning decals and labels, and support manuals as required.

The hirer is instructed on the use of the equipment and further advice is available through brochures and videos. The hire company also checks the hirer’s qualifications to operate certain types of plant where a license is required. To increase end user accessibility, the HRIA website features a comprehensive database and search engine capable of locating specific equipment to the nearest rental supplier location. Making this location identifier even easier, the new HRIA website also features Google maps which displays local street maps and directs users to their nearest hire location. “Hiring is a proven method builders and contractors can use to help weather the current economic storm. By hiring, builders and contractors can not only offset any additional outlays but also recoup some of their operational costs, all while enabling a wider range of jobs, outside what they might normally do,” Mr Newby said.

The AHSCA WA Chapter Since 1996 the AHSCA WA Chapter has been changing and growing to suit the needs of the Construction Industry.

The Association of Hydraulic Services Consultants of Australia (AHSCA) was founded in NSW over 35 years ago and has expanded with chapters in Queensland, Victoria and South Australia. The WA Chapter was founded in 1995 and incorporated in 1996. Over the years the membership has grown to include almost all Hydraulic Services Consultants practising in Western Australia. With the Building Commission becoming a reality, the need for ‘Building Services’ Professionals who provide a specialist knowledge in Hydraulic and Fire Services is essential for the process of approvals. Our members can facilitate the process by providing a best engineering solution for Hydraulic and Fire services. The engineering expertise and disciplines our members include are as follows: • Design of Property Sewer and Industrial Waste drainage systems; • Domestic Sewage Treatment and Grey Water systems; • Property Stormwater Drainage and Detention systems; • Rainwater Storage and recycling; • Hot & Cold water supply including Solar Hot water heating; • Fire Hydrant, Hose Reel and Fire Drencher services; • Natural & LP Gas Services; • Irrigation systems.

All our members agreed to abide by the Code of Ethics and Code of Professional practise which forms the basis for the Aims and Objectives of the Association. Our members must also comply with the Continuing Professional Development policy, which was developed by the WA Chapter in conjunction with an Accreditation Scheme for Hydraulic Service Consultants practising in WA. With the implementation of these policies, the WA Chapter ensures its members maintain a process of development and an awareness of new technology and products that are essential to provide their clients with the best engineering solution to suit their needs. This has resulted in the development of the new WA Chapter Web site, which provides our members, their clients and the general community.

Professional Services Legal services

Can you afford not to manage the life of the contract? Contract Lifecycle Management specialists Contract Intelligence see first hand the devastating effects of Contractors ignoring their contract management obligations. “Three years ago the building and construction industry was booming” says CIPL Director Alan Riley. “Today we are still helping many clients overcome issues arising from poor choices made when entering the contract or in failing to manage the contract lifecycle. Willing owners and an abundance of work meant margins were good and it was more about managing the volume and not the quality of the new business signed back then.” Legal Services Director Alana Dowley reports that the cost of contractual disputes is a harsh reality and increases the strain on already tight business cash flows. “We are finding that where a company has failed to manage its contracts properly, it is losing money on every dispute or difference of opinion that arises. Claim values are reduced through negotiation to avoid costly legal action or both contracting parties waste time and money on lawyers - either way the company loses. Bottom line is you either make a decision to invest in proper contract management or you will more than likely have some difficult commercial decisions to make at the end.” Director Mark Taylor has been encouraged by recent enquiries from long term clients who are asking how they avoid the pitfalls of the last

building and construction boom. “We are delighted that so many of our clients have taken stock of the lessons learned in the last boom and are investing in their tender processes, contract and risk reviews and regular audits to ensure they are complying with all obligations. Owners appear happier too, with a balance of good relations and prudent contract management” says Mark. CIPL provides full contract lifecycle services in the host organisation by term engagement or on an as-needs basis. Experts in contract management provide tender and contract reviews, contract management support, claims preparation and assessment advice and dispute management services. A team of construction law specialists provides practical, cost-effective legal advice and representation in all aspects of dispute resolution.
