WA BuildIT 2011/12
Foreword Welcome to the third edition of BuildIT in Western Australia. This publication is designed to save you valuable time by giving 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 Association’s range of publications. With rapidly changing technologies, new technical regulations and an extremely competitive industry, 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, specialist contractors and consultants in WA. This latest hard copy publication reminds us that we have not yet moved to a completely paperless society. A quality hard copy publication in colour with handy contact details will always retain its importance and hence popularity. BuildIT supplements some of our new online initiatives at Master Builders, which give customers greater access to our members. Online at www.mbawa.com we have a popular A-Z building directory which gives you fingertip access to information (on 260+ 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. Many thanks to our publishers Crowther Blayne in putting BuildIT together for our mutual benefit.

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 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 2012 Master BuildersBankwest Excellence in Construction Awards will be held at Perth Convention Exhibition Centre on Saturday 23 June. Entries opened in January 2012.
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 of craftsmanship, and the emerging qualified tradespersons will help ensure the long term growth and sustainability of the building and construction industry. The Awards are normally held in November of each year, with entries open around July/August.
Master Builders Housing Excellence Awards The Master Builders 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 2012 Master Builders Housing Excellence Awards will be held at Perth Convention Exhibition Centre on Saturday 10 March. Judging for the 2012 Awards took place in November 2011. Entries for the 2013 event will open in July 2012.
Master Builders-Bankwest Regional Building Excellence Awards are held in five areas to recognise excellence in construction across the State. These include the Kimberley-Pilbara, South West, Goldfields-Esperance, Great Southern and Geraldton–Midwest Regions.
Ric New Medal The Award recognises outstanding potential, innovation, creativity and achievement of a young person (aged 35 and under) in the context of their current and potential contribution to the building and construction industry or related professions in Western Australia. Emphasis is given to the person’s practical applied achievements, focusing on their creativity and innovativeness, rather than academic achievements.
Ric New Rising Star Award The Award recognises outstanding potential, work ethic and commitment of a young person (up to 25 years of age) in the context of their current and future contribution to the building and construction industry in Western Australia. The focus is on practical achievement, overcoming adversity and potential contribution to the building industry rather than academic performance.

Pride in the Job Safety Awards Training The Master Builders Association of Western Australia is a Registered Training Organisation with the Training Accreditation Council of Western Australia.

WA BuildIT 2011/12
Each year the Master Builders Safety Department conducts the Pride in the Job Awards. These are encouragement-based awards that recognises those in the building industry who have demonstrated a high commitment to a safe working environment on building sites in the commercial and residential sectors along with quality work standards in the metropolitan and regional areas.
Technical With the constant changes to legislative requirements, BCA and Australian Standard updates, it is difficult to keep up. Master Builders Technical keeps you informed and provides technical services and support for members. Members can contact our Technical Adviser, opt to receive technical updates or attend Technical training available to the industry that covers important building and compliance topics.
Technical updates Members can choose to receive technical circulars, which are issued regularly to highlight specific industry issues and report on technical matters that members need to be aware of.
Private Certification allows a private building surveying practitioner to certify the design of a building for its compliance with the Building Code of Australia. It is hoped Private Certification will bring about a reduction in approval times for building approvals and bring us in line with our eastern states counterparts.
Building Code of Australia The Building Code of Australia can provide some challenges for compliance for building projects. The design team needs timely advice on compliance matters early and throughout the design process. Master Builders have teamed with consultants to provide certification and assessment services for new and existing buildings at member rates.
Building Better Initiative Master Builders Building Better Initiative provides members with forums, information, site visits and events to help builders build faster, more costeffectively and more sustainably in WA.
What will 6 Star Requirements Mean? Many builders may not be ready for the new 6 Star energy efficiency requirements due to be adopted in WA in May 2012. Get the right advice on what you need to do to make sure you are BCA compliant for the new energy efficiency standards. Disability (Access to Premises – Building) Standards 2010 came into effect on 1 May 2011 and apply to all Class 2 to 9 building applications lodged after 1 May 2011 including renovations and fitouts. It is the responsibility of building approval officers, designers and builders and building owners/ managers to ensure new work complies with the Premises Standards. Failure to fully comply can result in discrimination complaints against these responsible parties. With the implementation of the new Building Act for Western Australia, everyone is feeling understandably nervous. This building legislative reform will introduce Private Certification to WA.
These include: • Building Code of Australia (BCA) advice and assessment reports • BCA compliance of existing buildings for fire and occupant safety • Building Approval Certificates for unauthorised building work • Fitouts and change of use • Representation at the State Administrative Tribunal • Liaising with Council for timely application and approval • BCA Section J Compliance (We can provide Deemed-to-Satisfy Compliance Reporting for class 5- 9 buildings)
Technical Advice Line This provides members with access to support covering all technical aspects of the Building Code of Australia (BCA), Australian Standards and statutory and local authority interpretation. Call 08 9476 9800 for assistance or email romina@mbawa.com.

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

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, as of October 2011 we have completed 55 projects and have another eight 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 2012 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 all three levels of government; 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 in the construction industry. This year, in keeping with our philosophy of constantly developing our publications, we have enhanced and increased chapters on green and sustainable construction issues including green design, energy management and auditing and, environmental management. Other sections covered in this book are building price indices; building costs per square metre; elemental costs; comparative costs; detailed prices; refurbishing and recycling; labour and plant constants; building planning, administration and management and; international costs for selected countries. The Handbook is a 950-page, hard covered book and is targeted at commercial projects.

The Cost Guide is a 275-page book that is not designed to compete with the Handbook, but rather to complement it.

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.

Bgc launches Innova – a brand new, innovative range of façade systems! The external finish of a house is just as important as the internal finishes that people spend so long to get perfect. The external part of the house creates that initial ‘wow’ factor when people see the building. Making it easier to create that unique and contemporary look has just become easier. Innova is a brand new suite of products designed by BGC to inspire you to create a new innovative and dynamic façade system. The newly created brand has its own modern and contemporary style reflected in the recently released marketing collateral which promotes the new fibre cement product ranges. The first product to be launched under the new Innova branding is Duragrid, a lightweight expressed joint façade system suitable for both residential and light commercial applications. Both steel and timber batten systems have been developed to give the builder choice and ease of construction in many different applications which means the system is flexible and cost effective as well as quick and simple to install but also creates the urban look that has become so popular. Duragrid panels can be either manually nailed, gun nailed or screwed into place and they give an extremely durable finish. BGC’s Duracom Façade System combines the certainty of highquality, tried-and tested Australian products with a fashionable edge. A compressed fibre cement façade system, Duracom has a smooth, flat surface and square edge finish, perfectly suited to expressed jointing. Duracom panels are designed for installation in a variety of different ways, including vertical, horizontal brick-bond or diamond. Duracom can be adapted to suit any taste. Lightweight but sturdy, Duracom’s stylish façade is underpinned by the sense of security only highly durable building products can bestow. Rated for weather resistance by the CSIRO, the panels will not rot, burn, or corrode and are not affected by termites, air, steam, salt or sunlight. Using fully sealed and balanced panels, they are fast to install and perfectly suited to low to medium rise buildingsparticularly industrial, institutional, commercial and multi-storey residential applications. BGC have recently installed a new sealing line in their production facility in Canning Vale, WA which is making Duracom better than ever. The new sealing technology provides a smoother face than ever before to Duracom whilst protecting the product from the elements.

Jason Windows – The benchmark in windows and doors Jason Windows, Western Australia’s market leader in aluminium windows and doors, has been supplying quality residential and commercial products to the building industry for over 50 years. It’s been a busy couple of years at Jason Windows. The WA owned and run market leader recently completed the construction of a new 13,500m2 purpose built facility in Welshpool, significantly expanded its glass processing capability and relocated its entire operation over a single weekend. Remarkably, all of this was done without a single customer order being delayed. Jason has long been recognised as having a superior product at an affordable price. The company’s residential portfolio ranges from standard residential framing through to the Benchmark semi commercial suite and on to fully custom designed solutions. In addition, Jason is a major supplier to commercial and industrial builders for a wide range of projects including schools, office buildings, mixed use commercial, apartments and healthcare facilities. The company operates from three locations – Welshpool, Bunbury and Port Hedland. An integral part of the new building is an extensive product showroom which was recognised nationally in the Australian Window Association (AWA) Design Awards in the Showroom of The Year category. It is a fantastic resource for builders, designers
and home owners to use as a selection centre for window, door and glass options. The showroom is open Monday to Friday 8am – 5pm and Saturday 9am – 12 noon where a team of experienced Sales Consultants can assist with all aspects of window and door design. Jason Windows has also developed the in-house capability to process its own glass including cutting, edge removal, toughening and the manufacture of Insulated Glass Units (IGU’s) for double glazing. This enables the company to have full control over the supply of a broad range of glass products and further improves service levels and turnaround times for customers. With a workforce of 300 staff supported by the significant investment in its new factory and showroom positions Jason Windows perfectly to support the needs of WA builders into the future.

Keep homes a comfortable temperature with internal and external window coverings The past two decades have seen radical changes within the construction industry, not only in the way it operates but, more importantly, in the way houses are designed and built. Today’s consumer is well travelled, well read, internet savvy and consequently extremely well informed in just about all areas of house designs and the current ‘trends’ and ‘looks’. There is a seemingly insatiable need for increases in the spaces we must have/need for all the things the average family collects. This of course has lead to an average increase in size of Perth homes by 25% over the last 25 years making us pretty low down the sustainability ladder on the list of Australia’s major cities. One of the main contributors to this fact is that with the increase in house sizes has come the never ending trend for more and more glass to be used many resulting in ‘unusual’ shaped windows and window configurations. It is, of course, understandable that if your clients have paid a premium for ocean views, hills views, views of expensive landscaping etc, they want to be able to enjoy it to its maximum potential. This desire then becomes coupled with another current obsession that prevails about having as much light as possible coming into every room in the building whatever its use. These two demands do not sit easily with today’s need to reduce energy use (and costs) in the home and these and other factors are what we, as members of all areas of the window covering industry, are finding increasingly difficult to deal with in a way that satisfies the needs and desires of all parties and takes into account today’s concerns regarding environmental sustainability. The sizes of any type of air conditioning units needed in some of today’s large, open plan homes are higher horsepower motors than ever to deal with these spaces plus the often extreme Australian weather conditions; especially where rooms have one or more walls of floor to ceiling glass facing west. There is conclusive evidence that the most efficient way to keep the home to comfortable and acceptable temperatures in all seasons is the use of appropriate either internal or external window coverings, or a combination of the two. Members of the Window Coverings Association of Australia are at the forefront of having all the information needed to assist architects, designers, builders and consumers to select and have installed, the correct window coverings for energy efficiency and comfort and, of course, those that are also aesthetically pleasing. External treatments used to shade windows starting with the eaves and then including pergolas and patios, awnings and shutters, can reduce heat gain into the home by up to 80%. Internal treatments such as well chosen and fitting blinds and, more importantly, curtains lined with a temperature controlling lining and, ideally with the addition of a box style fabric covered pelmet, will reduce the heat gain and loss through the glass by up to 47%. The added benefit of fabric being used to attain this result is not only does it achieve this through all seasons it also gives great acoustic value to noise emitted from either outside or inside the building. This point is of particular relevance with the increasing use of hard floor surfaces throughout many of today’s homes and the resulting increase in noise and reduction of sound quality of home theatres, TV and sound systems etc. It seems to those us involved in this industry that many new homes are designed with little thought or consideration to all these issues and the subsequent cost and difficulties associated with the need for
appropriate window treatments, their supply and installation. We want to encourage designers and builders to consult with the professional operators within the industry to obtain information that will assist in creating windows that can be effectively covered with efficient and stylish window treatments that are relatively straightforward to install, easy to operate and conform to current child safety legislation. There is an increasing demand in new homes for blinds and curtains to be motorised and operate either individually or connected into a C-Bus or similar computerised system within the home. This area also needs careful planning, discussion with the designer, builder and electrician and preliminary work at the building stage by the company overseeing the installation to ensure the smooth running of the project and a satisfactory with minimum of delay and extra cost. As more and more emphasis is placed on the efficiency rating of all building including the family home all of these issues will become more important. Together, we can make this process achievable and relatively painless for us all. We would very much, as an industry, like to be considered an important part of the building industry and not people that get called at the end as an after thought. The Window Coverings Association of Australia is a non-profit organisation committed to serving its members as well as the community in general.

Australian Garage Door Association AGDA is a garage door industry association whose members include manufacturers of sectional doors, roller doors, garage door openers, and access control products. We seek to continually strengthen our role from a manufacturer and dealer base as the authoritative voice of the industry to consumers, the media, the construction industry, and government. We have a strong safety focus centred on the knowledge that a garage door is the largest and heaviest moving item in a house and uses highly tensioned springs to store the potential energy required to make the door move smoothly with minimum effort. In consequence we highly recommend regular inspection, testing and maintenance of your garage door and opener (where fitted) to ensure their safe, smooth, quiet, reliable operation.
History AGDA was formed in 2001 and incorporated in February 2002 as a group of like minded Manufacturers in the Garage Door Industry focused on: • Promotion of industry and consumer awareness of safety issues • Providing an industry voice for representation to governments and regulators • Providing an industry voice for representation on standards • Having clear, safe and customer focused regulations • Having a level playing field with regulations equally enforced • Providing benefits to industry generally • Promotion of industry professionalism
Organisation AGDA is structured to organise its activities to achieve industry objectives • Promote adherence to the Australian & New Zealand standards in their current form, updated as required • Lobby for the requirement of full mandatory compliance to the current A/NZ Standards • Lobby for enforcement of penalties in cases for proven non-compliance, for consumer safety • Develop with dealers accredited training for installers • Cooperate as a group, by sharing information and building collective knowledge, in the areas of regulatory affairs and compliance • Share resources, to lessen the burden on individual members, for regulatory testing of suspected non-compliant product/s • Make joint representations where the members have common interests, preferably via the Australian Garage Door Association (AGDA).
The results from the survey have driven our program of recent activities. Recent activities • Lobby Standards Australia to mandate garage door reversal on contact or proximity to an object. Standards Australia responded by advising its committee EL/2 has advised that it will revise AS/NZS 60335.2.95:2005 to achieve such a mandate. Issue a series of newsletters: - reinforcing the safety message contained in our consumer safety leaflet. - summarising the safety labelling provisions in various standards as they apply to garage doors. - urging consumers to consider installation of extra safety devices such as PE beams or pressure sensitive edges, as additional safety measures for their garage doors. • Expand the original scope of a manufacturer industry association to include dealer members. • Work with Standards Australia on review of AS/ NZS 4505 Garage Door Standard, including wind design criteria changes, for Australia & NZ. • Complete action plan arising from the design criteria changes in the Wind Code AS/NZS 1170 and apply to ABCB for inclusion of the revised Standard AS/NZS 4505 in the Building Code of Australia from 2013. • Develop Guide to Visual Inspection of Garage Doors to assist the industry in dealing with consumer enquiries and complaints. • Liaise with Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency, Appliance Energy Efficiency Team, in regard to Australian regulations for standby power, due to be introduced in October 2013. • Utilise Dealer Membership base to participate in ongoing development of training guide and industry advisory guides.

Safety AGDA has a clear safety focus for consumers and has issued a Consumer Safety Leaflet, widely available within the industry. As part of our safety focus and awareness program AGDA has completed a survey of over 500 garage doors. The aim of the survey was to determine a base line to understand how many garage door installations actually comply with regulations and industry (manufacturer and dealer) recommendations.

Is your GreenHouse missing its DuoGlass? For many years Australian building standards have had no real requirements for basic energy efficiency, but it’s finally time to step up to the standards of the rest of the world.
Without being forced to specify exotic and expensive ‘Low E’ 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 within our homes.

If homeowners expect their ceilings to be insulated to improve energy efficiency, perhaps it’s time for Australians to seriously consider the most inefficient section of the building envelope as well. Contrary to popular opinion, both warm and cool climates benefit equally from improving the insulation performance of doors and windows, which in a typical and traditional building envelope comprise less than 10 percent of its surface area. This tiny percentage of the envelope can be responsible for an astounding 87 percent of the heat gained in summer (with the average roof only responsible for five percent) and up to 49 percent of the heat lost (with the roof contributing 15 percent) in winter months. With contemporary building design looking to enhance the visual connection between internal and external design elements, bring natural lighting and improved comfort and simultaneously seeking to incorporate sustainable and energy efficient design, the selection of high performance glazing solutions is no longer a luxury. As we embrace our outdoor aspects and enjoy larger glazed apertures such as bifolds and sliding stacking systems, the percentage of the building envelope devoted to glazing is increasing. With 6 star energy ratings and greater emphasis being placed on sustainability, Australia is set to join the rest of the world in choosing double glazing as a standard specification in new home design.

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.

real flame has had a busy year! After moving to a new facility in Scoresby, the company has grown at an extraordinary pace.
Completing a number of high profile projects this year including Crown Casino, Metropole, Star City Casino, Rydges Hotel, Saffire by Federal Hotels and a number of exclusive apartment developments such as 150 Clarendon and 1 East Melbourne. Consistent with their commitment to technological advancement in the gas fireplace industry, Real Flame has now released their exciting new Landscape range. These fires are class leading in every aspect. With fuel costs on the rise, efficiencies are now more important than ever and the Landscape fires do not disappoint. The 1000 model has a 3.8 star rating and the 1600 model has a 3.2 star rating, however, depending on flue configuration, a star rating as high as 4.7 is achievable. With most homes being designed with large open plan living areas, it makes sense to install a fire that is not only a great focal point in the room, but one that can heat up to 150m2 efficiently. This means that the ducted system which traditionally uses around 120mj/hr of gas can be turned off when using the main living area and the space heated with a Landscape fire that uses as little as 29mj/hr! Boasting the widest viewing area of any gas fire on the market, the Landscape not only heats large areas, but also looks great. It can be installed in new homes or in existing home renovations using a simple frame out. The Landscape fires are controlled via a full remote control including electronic ignition, modulating burner, auto two- speed fan and a seven-day programmable timer. The Landscape fires use direct vent technology, so all combustion air is taken from the outside, negating the need for ventilation. Because they use direct vent flue technology, these fires can have the flue terminate vertically or horizontally, allowing greater flexibility for installation.

Meeting industry equipment demand Whatever the application, from providing portable toilets and buildings to road works and building construction or keeping essential services running during scheduled maintenance periods, the business of the hire and rental industry in Australia is all about providing peace of mind to customers and allowing them to focus on managing their core business.
Helping businesses and industries meet expected demand quickly and easily, without huge capital outlay, storage problems, maintenance overheads or knowing whether that piece of equipment will ever be needed again, is the business of the hire and rental industry in Australia. With over 700 rental company members and valued at $3.8Bn (IBIS), the hire and rental industry covers a range of equipment across varied industries, from general plant hire, access and portable buildings, to temporary power generation and excavation equipment. Hire and Rental Industry Association (HRIA) members nation wide all work to a self-regulated industry ‘Code of Ethics’ which focuses on safety, reliability and quality of equipment and support. HRIA members take pride in sourcing and providing the latest technology and equipment, offering reliable, well-serviced and wellmaintained equipment, which is fully supported by education and instruction on the safe and correct use of that equipment. Meeting demand and allowing businesses to focus on their core concerns is vital across many industries, including the building and construction industries.

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 deductibility frees up scarce capital, and makes good economic sense during tough economic conditions. “Hiring is a proven method all contractors can use. Even though the current economic downturn is not over completely globally, the hire industry in Australia has helped many businesses weather the storm by providing the necessary plant and equipment without the problem of using scarce capital,” Mr Newby said. “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 the 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
HR I A Hi r e a n d R e n ta l
has helped the industry and all industries utilising its equipment and services to weather what has been a turbulent and economically challenging time.” “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, freeing up capital 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. A 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 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 and regulators 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 licence 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. Businesses who hire their plant and equipment eliminate hefty upfront capital expenditure or funding, while freeing up resources to focus it on where it really should be – on the core business.

The GFC gave us the kick-start we needed Doug Brooks, Brooks Hire.
Doug Brooks has been successfully hiring out earth moving equipment in Perth since 1979. But when the GFC hit in 2008, he knew he had to make some big decisions quickly to ensure the business survived.

In January 2010, 2011 and again in 2012, Amarok demonstrated its power, durability and off-road performance as official support vehicle on the world famous and infinitely challenging Dakar Rally, conquering some of the most testing terrain in the world. From the dry heights of the Atacama Desert to tough mountain passes and demanding sandy stretches, the entire team of Amarok support vehicles successfully completed the trip, helping the Volkswagen Race team win a 1-2-3 podium finish in 2011.
Efficient engines If proof of engine efficiency was needed, Dakar rules state all vehicles entered for the event, be them race or support, must have a minimum range of 800kms. The range of the Amarok? 1000kms on a single tank. Featuring an 80-litre fuel tank, that works out to an impressive 7.9l/100kms. With a choice of two engine options available, the efficient 340Nm turbo diesel and the more powerful 400Nm bi-turbo, Amarok combines unmatched pulling power and class-leading efficiency from its TDI engine.
Driving capabilities On road and off, Amarok has a range of driving systems and intelligent 4MOTION settings to take you anywhere you need to go. All models feature an ‘Off Road Mode’ with specific settings for the ABS and ESP to maximize performance on loose surfaces. Both 2WD and 4MOTION models offer the Off Road mode and great ground clearance. The Selectable 4MOTION features low-range gearing for powerful off-road performance, while the Permanent 4MOTION switches power automatically between driving wheels with most

traction, making it perfectly happy cruising the freeway or hunting out the nearest off-road bush trail. Permanent and Selectable 4MOTION models feature a mechanical rear differential lock for forward progress in even the toughest conditions.

Iveco daily delivers for kennards National equipment hire company Kennards Concrete Care has recently purchased its fifth light-duty IVECO Daily Cab Chassis. “We bought our first IVECO Daily four-years ago and have progressively purchased others as the company has grown. These trucks must be available for the delivery of hire equipment to our customers on a 24-hour-a-day basis – so reliability is a prerequisite. The 40,000km service intervals also reduce downtime and of course cost. We have had a trouble-free run from the Daily’s and this is just one of the reasons that we have continued to add more to our fleet,” says Kennards Concrete Care General Manager, Matt Hardy. “Fuel economy is obviously important to us, as it is with anyone operating trucks in their business. The Daily’s are unbelievably well ahead with fuel-efficiency compared to the Japanese sourced brand of trucks our company has used,” he adds. Hardy also says that during their selection process, driver comfort and safety were two of the key criteria. “Our drivers spend many hours behind the wheel doing multiple deliveries, so the ergonomic aspect of egress and ingress is important as well as comfort in the driver’s seat.” He explains that if a driver is not comfortable and the truck gives a rough ride it can become very fatiguing, but Kennards’ drivers say the Daily’s ride and comfort is extremely car-like. Kennards Concrete Care is a specialist equipment hire company helping contractors tackle a range of concrete related jobs from demolition, grinding, stripping, drilling and cutting through to cleaning. All of this requires their Daily delivery trucks to be fitted with both a chassis mounted crane and towbar for ease of hire equipment delivery.
Safety in letters The Daily bristles with technology and has an alphabet soup of acronyms describing its electronic safety systems – some being standard and others optional. Its four-wheel disc brakes have ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), which prevents wheel-lock while braking. EBD (Electronic Brake force Distribution) distributes braking forces between front and rear axles. ASR (Anti-Slip Regulator) acts on the engine speed and braking system to prevent the wheels from slipping under stress. ESP (Electronic Stability Program) governs individual wheel brakes to reduce engine revolutions if the vehicle becomes unstable. HBA (Hydraulic Brake Assist) increases braking pressure when it senses emergency braking. Hill Holder (Assisted Uphill Departure), which acts on the brakes to hold the vehicle steady during uphill lift off. LAC (Load Adaptive Control) recognises the horizontal distribution of the load being transported. Kennards’ 45C18 cab chassis model has the optional AGile six-speed automated transmission which shifts automatically when driven in auto mode, or can be shifted manually by the short dash mounted gearlever and driven as a conventional manual transmission.
Power and performance The 45C18 has a 4495kg Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) and a 7995kg Gross Combination Mass (GCM) which means it can be driven on a standard car licence. This is important to Kennards as they often have a need to deliver some of their larger concrete care hire equipment this way. The three-litre four-cylinder diesel engine has direct injection with a Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT) and intercooler. It complies with the latest stringent exhaust emissions Australian Design Rule – ADR80/03. It pumps out 130kW (176hp) @ 3200– 3500rpm and 400Nm (295lb/ft) of torque on a broad rev range from 1250 to 3000rpm. 104
WA BuildIT 2011/12
The Daily range offers eight cab/chassis models (including crew/ cabs) with a wheelbase length and GVM choice – shorter for tippertype operation or a longer option for use as a tray top or pantech body. There is also a full range of Daily enclosed vans available to choose from in a variety of lengths and heights dependent on cubic and weight capacities – ranging from 8.3m³ to 17.2m³ or 2870kg to 4140kg payload.
Who is IVECO? IVECO globally designs, manufactures, and markets a broad range of light, medium and heavy commercial vehicles, off-road trucks, buses and coaches as well as special vehicles for applications such as fire fighting, off-road missions, defence and civil protection. IVECO Australia’s manufacturing base in Dandenong, Victoria was commissioned in 1952 under the International Harvester brand name and has produced more than 200,000 trucks and bus chassis. The Dandenong plant represents a major investment in the local truck and bus industry and employs more than 600 Australians. Overall, IVECO creates employment in Australia for thousands of people in related industries, from retailing operations to component suppliers.

one of these is an inferior copy. the other comes with a full rondo written warranty. Although some render finishing beads may look the same, they really are not. Only Rondo metal finishing beads come with a full written Rondo warranty that guarantees the quality of the surface coatings used, to ensure the beads have an appropriate protection for their intended purpose. So why risk it? If you’re a contractor, just ask for a copy of the Rondo Warranty where you buy your finishing beads. If you’re a builder, protect yourself and your client and ask to see your contractor’s copy of the guarantee. After all, looks can be deceiving. The Rondo Warranty is the only way to make sure you are getting the real thing.

100 years of elevator expertise at your service KONE is the industry leader in elevator and escalator innovation. We have a long history of improving our customers’ businesses and are Dedicated to People Flow™, creating the optimal solution to move people in your buildings efficiently, safely, and in comfort for generations to come.
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 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. The first elevator without a machine room, our patented innovation provides a smooth quiet ride for passengers, gives more design freedom for architects, lowers construction costs, reduces energy consumption, and frees up building space that can be put to more profitable use. To date, over 200,000 KONE MonoSpace elevators have been installed worldwide – transporting millions of people every day. KONE MonoSpace® is reliable, with years of dependable operation behind it. ®
More space, lower costs KONE MonoSpace® requires only a single space – the shaft. The elimination of the machine room gives architects and developers greater design freedom and saves construction costs. And because KONE MonoSpace® uses less space, you can lease more space. 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.
Attractive interior design Our elevator design concepts are the work of renowned professionals and designers, who unite attractive interiors with practical durability.
Excellent service throughout your building’s lifecycle KONE offers full service throughout your building’s lifecycle. Our expertise in traffic analysis means your building will have the right elevator capacity to ensure smooth People Flow. We also offer flexible KONE Care™ maintenance and modernisation services to keep things running smoothly.
Elevator specification in three simple steps Specifying the optimal elevator solution for your needs takes just three simple steps:
1
Specify your elevator based on the expected People Flow and size of your building.
2
Choose a car design to suit your building interior from our selection of professionally designed cars or create a custom look and feel by choosing from the wide selection of materials in the KONE Design Collection.
3
Select additional options together with your sales representative to further enhance your elevator solution.
For more information on how a KONE Monospace® solution can work for you, contact us today.

one of these is an inferior copy. the other comes with a full rondo written warranty. Although some render finishing beads may look the same, they really are not. Only Rondo metal finishing beads come with a full written Rondo warranty that guarantees the quality of the surface coatings used, to ensure the beads have an appropriate protection for their intended purpose. So why risk it? If you’re a contractor, just ask for a copy of the Rondo Warranty where you buy your finishing beads. If you’re a builder, protect yourself and your client and ask to see your contractor’s copy of the guarantee. After all, looks can be deceiving. The Rondo Warranty is the only way to make sure you are getting the real thing.
