Clay

01

Provincial Geotechnical reported all three layers of soil as high is moisture and changing. The classification of a CLASS H indicates a highly reactive clay site, which may experience high ground movement from the moisture changes. This requires a stiffer footing to compensate the changing conditions, but also the use of blinding concrete to ensure foundation upon natural stiff clay and not a soft spot of soil.

A permit is attained for demolition from the City of Ballarat and the site enclosed via security fencing in compliance with AS1725 to prevent unauthorised entry, which contains appropriate demolition site signage in accordance with AS1319.

The practices of the demolition adhere to AS2601. Before any alteration to the existing conditions, all services are disconnected and protected to ensure no damage occurs to council infrastructure. An excavator is then transported to site and the demolition process begins. All processes during the procedure must adhere to WorkSafe Compliance Code: Demolition, to ensure the safety of all workers on site. Upon the completion of the dismantling of the structure, the wreckage is transported away from site and the area is cleared.

02

Demolition The demolition process is completed via the method

By Load-Shifting Equipment as outlined in AS2601 through the utilisation of an excavator. The excavator gradually pulls down the structure, ensuring no debris lands outside of the permitted site boundary.

The excavator is operated in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

A soil report is completed as per AS3798 by Provincial Geotechnical PTY. LTD. Consulting Geologists of which the site is classified as a CLASS P (Problem site) in accordance is AS2870. The classification is due to the likely presence of abnormal moisture conditions caused by vegetation and the prior structure within the proposed building envelope. The report recommends a footing design in compliance to a CLASS H site. Of the recommendations, a waffle raft slab is selected and to be completed in compliance with AS2870.

Footing and Edge Beam Pad footings founded 200mm in natural stiff clay with a utilisation of blinding concrete beneath to achieve depth into earth. Edge beams founded 100mm minimum into natural stiff clay.

Foundations as specified by

by Provincial Geotechnical and AS3798.

The building profile is set-out utilising the Architectural plans to measure offsets from the site boundary, then marking out the footprint of the external cladding of the structure via the usage of nailed pegs and string line. Before any excavation occurs, the Site Supervisor should call 1100 Dial Before You Dig to become aware of all active services on the site to prevent damage to council infrastructure.

Trench excavation is purposed to enable the underground service layout (such as plumbing) and to allow the pouring of edge and internal beams for the waffle raft in accordance with Section 3.4.1 of AS2870. The depth of the trenches is determined via the required foundations for the raft slab as outlined by the structural drawings of the TGM Group PTY. LTD. adhering to the findings of the soil report. Excavation for the pouring of the blinding concrete pad footing also occurs during this period, purposed to stabilise the soil due to CLASS P classification.

Second Pour

A second round of pouring is required for the boundary ring of the top surface of the Conservatory.

This is due to the ACO K100 sloping trench grate with ACO Heelguard 100 CLASS A grate, as it could not be securely and accurately fitting during the large scale first pour.

The U-starter bars secured 200mm minimum into the waffle raft enact reinforcement for the second pour, with the 3 N12 bars secured to these via metal ties.

As recommended by the soil report of Provincial Geotechnical PTY. LTD. Consulting Geologists, a waffle raft slab is selected and to be completed in compliance with AS2870, with all concrete works also adhering to AS3600.

02

Placed on top of the 50mm sand bedding is a 0.2mm polyethylene waterproof membrane. The high resistance damp-proof membrane is employed as the soil reported indicated the CLASS P site contains high moisture layers of clay, thus the protective layer assures the longevity and strength of the waffle raft.

The waterproofing membrane thickness is specified as 0.2mm as determined

by AS4347, which also indicates the required level of resistance puncturing and penetration. The 0.2mm polyethylene is placed beneath the slab ensuring the entire bottom surface is underlaid, with the lapping of sheets a minimum of 200mm where required, as penetrations by services require sealing via tape or a close fitting sleeve or by continuing the sheeting up the service in accordance with lapping requirements, in compliance with Section 5.3 of AS2870.

Concrete Pump Truck The concrete mixer truck transfers the wet mixture from its mixer tank into the pump via its discharge system. The feeder also vibrates the concrete upon discharge. The pump is then guided and operated by a contractor. This is utilised instead of a regular concrete mixing truck as the pump truck removes the manual handling hazards of a regular pour, but also exerts concrete faster and more precisely for such a large pour. The use of the concrete pump truck and concrete labour must be in compliance with AS1418 and AS2545, as well as WorkSafe Industry Standard Concrete Pumping.

Placed on the waterproofing membrane is the polystyrene waffle pods, which shall be in compliance with AS2870. The polystyrene waffle pods are constructed in compliance with AS1366.3 to assure the compressive strength and thermal benefits of the modules. The waffle pods are arrayed in accordance to the structural engineers plans. Placed at a maximum rib spacing centres of 1200mm between the void formers is a single N16 rebar, in compliance with AS2870.

Although the waffle raft was recommended due to the CLASS P classification of the site, AS2870 outlines some further benefits of the waffle raft such as improved shrinkage behaviour, enhanced structural performance, and efficient use of concrete product.

Steel reinforcement bars are placed on the waffle pods, which shall be in compliance with AS4671. SL82 (which denotes 8mm bars spaced at 200mm) square reinforcing mesh is placed first, with 40mm concrete cover as specified

by AS3600, which is secured in position via non-metallic bar chairs at 1000mm minimum centres. Located in all ground floor areas but the Conservatory and Cellar, 32mm thick hydronic pipework / coils are placed above the layer of SL82.

According to AS2870, the heating pipes coils do not require extra slab thickness or reinforcement, however they are fixed to the SL82 mesh via plastic ties. Above the coils SL62 (which denotes 6mm bars spaced at 200mm) square reinforcing mesh is placed and secured with bar chairs, with 20mm of concrete cover as specified

by AS3600.

The welding of the cap plate to the column ensures a rigid connection, of which movement is not required.

However, the utilisation of bolting to secure the vertical and horizontal members is to enable movement through the structure. This is why the bolt holes are the bolt diameter with an additional 2mm, but also why bolt lengths ensure one full tread is showing between the connection. These considerations are in compliance with AS4100.

RL 453.70 FFL RL 453.20 FFL

The erection of vertical members occurs first. The columns are hoisted into position by the crane and positioned intricately by the contractors. The columns are connected to the concrete slab via a cast-in-plate cogged 100mm minimum into the concrete slab, and is secured into place by a FSBW (Full Strength Butt Weld).

All welding of elements is to be of CLASS SP (Structural Purposes), as the FSBW is utilised as it enables stronger load capacities than fillet welds, and must be completed in compliance with AS1554 as an inspection will also be completed to ensure accordance.

The connection of the horizontal structural steel members to the vertical elements utilises both welding and bolting. The horizontal members are hoisted into position by the crane and remains attached until the connection is complete to ensure maximum safety in compliance with AS2550, the scissor lifts are utilised to enable the contractors to safely complete the connection. Where the horizontal members rest directly on columns a cap plate is employed, which is secured via a CFW (Continuous Fillet Weld) and bolting. All bolts used for the steelwork are to be M20 in diameter and category 8.8/S, but for steel to timber connections 4.6/S are required. The numbering of the categories represents the strength grade of the bolt, the 8.8/S bolts are High Strength whilst the 4.6/S are Commercial grade, as specific in AS1252. However both are tightened using a standard wrench to a ‘snugtight’ condition, in compliance with AS4100.

Scissor Lift Only can be used by individuals with EWP Operator Ticket which allows for operation under 11 metres in height as required by AS2550.

1

Section 1A

The structural steelwork arrives on site and is checked to ensure all required members, cleat plates and timber connections have been accounted for and provided by the fabricator. A rented crane arrives on site which is utilised to hoist the structural steel members into position and ready for connection, via the use of steel wire rope connected to the steelwork and the crane load block. The crane must comply with AS1418 and its use must be in compliance with AS2550.

Two rented mobile scissor lifts also arrive on site, purposed for use by contractors to enable workers to elevate to required heights to secure the connections of the members, the scissor lifts must also comply with AS2550.

Column The columns exposed in the Conservatory are hot dipped galvanised, protecting underlying steel from corrosion due to the exposure to moisture.

Crane Requires outriggers with float pads rested on the slab or ground to maximise stability and prevent tipping whilst hoisting the heavy structural steel members, in compliance with AS1418.

Vertical Structure Above Ground All works completed in relation to the structural steelwork must be in compliance with AS4100. Upon the finalisation of the design of the structural steelwork, TGM Group sends off the plans to the steelwork manufacturer so that all members can be pre-fabricated off site, all material is to be locally manufactured. Before arriving on site, all the manufactured members are to be cleaned in compliance with AS1627 CLASS 2.5, which is a blast cleaning reducing mill scale, foreign particles and rust to microscopic remains. Finally before dispatch, all steelwork is given a single coat of Zinc Phosphate Primer (ROZP) which is an anti-corrosive primer.

02

Horizontal Connections For the connections of horizontal members to horizontal member, a combination of bolting and CFW are utilised. A typical connection of two horizontal members requires a 10mm cleat plate being secured to one of the members by a 6CFW, which is then bolted into place. For connections of Universal Columns (UC) to Parallel Flange Channels (PFC), it is the same process except the PFC is coped on the top edge of the flange to allow the member to slot into the flanges of the UC. The connection details are in compliance with AS4100.

Every second Posi Strut joist is to be fixed to the top flange with a M10 bolt. 2mm thick and 36mm diameter washers are to be used with the M10 bolt, in compliance with AS2451. Nails are to be skewed into the timber packers. The placement of the Posi Strut must allow for a 10mm clearance between horizontal steel member and the ceiling structure. The Posi Strut slots into a joist hanger, which is a galvanised steel plate with a protrusion allowing the load of the floor truss to transfer to the structural steel members. The joist hanger implemented is the Teco Trip-L-Grip connector, which contains pre-drilled holes to enable ease of connection, and are drilled into the timber packers within the flanges of the universal beams.

Intermediate Floor Structure

All works completed in regards to Intermediate Floor Structure must comply with AS4440 and AS4100, as the intermediate floor structure utilises both a Posi Strut and timber truss system. The floor structure and design was in accordance with the spacing and span tables provided by MiTek (the manufacturer), which is in compliance with AS1720.1. Both methods require vertical structure beneath be in compliance with AS1720.1 and AS1684.4. Upon the finalisation of the design of the intermediate floor structure, TGM Group sends off the plans to the MiTek so that all Posi Strut and timber truss members can be pre-fabricated off site. As the trusses arrive on site, each member should be checked for quality assurance, if there are any damaged members they are not to be repaired on site unless permitted by MiTek.

02 02

Positioning Contractors assist the crane via precisely placing the trusses and then securing them as required whilst the crane is still carrying the weight of the member. Only once it is fixed is the crane detached.

For the positioning of the floor trusses, workers ascend the scaffolding and navigate around the top of the steel framework to assist the crane in accurately placing the trusses. All trusses are situated at 450mm centres, and require a solid block at 1800mm centres.

Strongback MiTek’s manufacturing details indicate that a 190 x 45 F7 timber strongback is required beneath the load bearing wall above. The strongback is fitted between the structural steelwork thus stops and starts amidst.

Securing 45 x 90 F5 timber is utilised for the Posi Strut trusses at 450mm centres. The steel is secured to the timber via a metal nail plate.

Section 1A

The rented crane is utilised to hoist the trusses into position and ready for connection. A fabric sling attachment is required for the crane to lift the trusses to ensure the members are not damaged during their placing, this attachment is to be in compliance with AS4991. Also to prepare the site for the fixing of the intermediate floor structure, is the requirement for scaffolding to be erected, which is to be in compliance with AS4576 and AS1576.1. All contractors which need to use the scaffolding are required to have or obtain a scaffolding license from WorkSafe, to ensure that appropriate safety measures and safe construction/use/dismantling of the scaffolding is practiced throughout the duration of the project.

Timber Sawing As the timber roof framing elements are not prefabricated, they are required to be cut to size on site. This is commonly completed on modular saw horses as they ca be easily re-located around the site as required. A benefit of on-site sawing is that it allows the contractors to continuously adjust the length or angle of cut of the timber members to ensure the highest level of accuracy.

Soffit The 50 x 25mm ceiling battens are fixed to the long reach floor trusses via 2/75 x 3.05mm plain shank nails at 450 centres, in compliance with AS1684.4. The ceiling battens are then clad with VM Zinc metal sheeting in Autumn Red Pigmento Plus.

The sheeting is installed on Enkamat and Dupont Tyvek Home Wrap at 430mm centres. The cladding must be installed in compliance with VM Building Solutions’s guidelines and AS1562.1. A 10mm shadow line is present at the connection point to the plasterboard, enacting a control joint.

The suspended ceiling of the Conservatory is comprised of 13mm plasterboard, in a square set profile. The square set profile of the plasterboard selected varies to recessed and bevelled edge plasterboard categories as it does not allow for as seamless a connection through the lack of a valley to fill with compound and sand to near perfect flatness. The 13mm plasterboard selected is tested against the strength requirements of AS2588 to ensure longevity. As the Conservatory is considered a wet area due to its open nature, the plasterboard is water resistant.

In compliance with AS2588, this ensures that the sheet does not retain more than 5% moisture after water exposure, as well as sustain a weight difference of more than 1.6g after exposure. The 450mm spacing of the ceiling joists is within the 600mm maximum spacing for the substrate bearers as outline in AS2589, of which plasterboard mastic adhesive is applied to in small amounts, which must be in compliance of AS2753. The plasterboard sheets are then butted to the ceiling joists with the adhesive and is fixed via 30mm screws or 2.8 x 30mm galvanised nails, which is required for 13mm plasterboard in compliance with AS2589. The butted edges , fastener indentations, and external corners are sealed with a joint cement which is sanded down after application to provide a seamless finish.

External Wall Insulation 2 x 120mm Bradford Soundscreen Plus batts which combine for an R-Value of 3.2.

Rough-In Services The electrical services are to be installed by a qualified electrician in compliance with AS3000. As the Conservatory is classified as a wet area due to exposure, the cabling for the downlights, general purpose outlets and mechanical louvres must be given specific characteristics to ensure proper functional usability and safety, in compliance with AS60529.

The cables are fed through with excess to allow ease of finishing installation.

The ceilings of the bedrooms is insulated utilising batts and is installed in compliance with AS3999. The batts implemented are 210mm thick Bradford Gold ceiling batts with an R-Value of 4.1, and is in thermal compliance with AS4859.1.

The batts can be cut to size (a little larger than the opening requires) to ensure a snug fit via the use of a utility knife, and is then installed by the placing between the hip rafters, ensuring not to compress the batts so they can perform at their specified R-Value, in compliance with AS3999. To ensure ease of installation, the insulation is first placed in tight corners and along the edges. Tape strapping can be utilised to ensure that the batts do not fall down, and can be fixed via staples.

In areas where there are lots of electrical cables, the amount of batts may be reduced or omitted to reduce the risk of fire, in compliance with AS3999.

16mm Laminex in Fossil Natural Finish is secured to the underside of the bench directly to the particleboard substrate.

Finishing Trades, Joinery, Appliances

A void is created through the bench to enable cable access to general purpose outlets underneath.

Pyranese sandstone paving laid in a random pattern continues up the vertical face of the bench. A primer is required to enable a course surface to create better adhesion of the paving.

The finishing trades of the Conservatory begin with the final installation of the kitchen bench, which is in compliance with AS4386. The joiner sub-contractor and Artedomus (the marble supplier) use the same plans of the structural steelwork and timber stud framing of the bench to pre-fabricate their required elements off-site. The steel and timber frame is first clad in particleboard, which establishes the general form of the bench unit. Particleboard is utilised in this stage due to its factory-manufacturing which removes chance of any flaws which can be associated with natural timber products (such as knots and splinters) but still retains a smooth finish and strength suitable as a substrate. For kitchens, it is required that an E1 class particleboard is utilised to prevent any health risks due to the engineered manufacturing of the material, in compliance with AS1859.2. The joiner also constructs the drawers at this stage, allowing for marble cladding for the front panel. The marble benchtop implemented is Artedomus “Bianco Gioia Carrara” in a honed finish, which is 20mm thick generally. The edges of the bench are square with a mitred corner, and a fine 2mm pencil round. The benchtop is secured via methods of adhesion as indicated by the stonemason, as well as sealed as per Artedomus’s recommendations.

02

Painting The bedrooms are painted in Ultra Premium Ceiling White Low Voc from Haymes. This primer is applied by a brush or roller and 2 coats are required as per the Haymes product data sheet. 2 hours after the final primer coat has been applied, Dulux White Duck Half Strength finishing paint can be painted, which requires 3 coats, as per AS2311.

The stone paving utilised within the Conservatory and externally is Pyranese sandstone paving from Pyrenees Quarries. The paving is in colour raj green/brown and is laid in a random pattern, with a variable thickness between 20-40mm, and an internal finish of 2 coats of Drytreat Satin Proof as per Pyrenees Quarries recommendations. The finish of the stone is in compliance with AS4586. The stone pavers are installed via the applying of a natural stone adhesive to the substrate (which must be in compliance with AS3958.3) with a notch trowel, of which the paver is then laid on. When the adhesive is dried, an externally suitable grout is then spread across the surface of the paving via a grout float, ensuring full coverage of all grout lines to enable a proper seal from the substrate. The grout is then wiped off the surface of the paver using a damp sponge, wiping at 45 degrees so to reduce moisture content which may compromise the colour of the grout. The installation must be in compliance with AS4455.

Light Capping The excess cabling pulled through the penetrations of the plasterboard are connected to the light capping / fixture as per the manufacturer’s guidelines. The downlight is then secured in place in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines.

Tiling The tile utilised for internal ground floor areas is the 300 x 600mm Pietra Bronzea Brushed front Artedomus.

The tile is 12-15mm thick and is laid in a half-bond formation with 2mm grout lines using Fugabella Eco 05 Anthracite grout. The tile and grout are sealed using GEAL ICR-17 Pre-sealer and GEAL Basoil Sealer. The tiles are required to be sealed as it is porous limestone and will need to be protected from spillage and dirt, as well as erosion of grout.

Envirocrete by Boral is a concrete product which is purposed to utilise the waste materials which are a byproduct of the manufacturing process of concrete. The Portland cement can be replaced by up to 20-40% so to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases released in its production. The water used is washing water and rain water caught at Boral plants. Boral uses manufactured sand to reduce the need for extraction of natural resources, and the utilisation of coarse and fine slag aggregates which are a product of steel manufacturing.

As per the structural engineer’s request and in compliance with AS1012.3, a slump test is performed on the Envirocrete before the slab is poured.

This process entails the filling of a metal cylindrical cone with 3 fresh layers of the Envirocrete intermittently, of which this vertical support is then removed so to inspect the inherent strength of the concrete mixture. The ‘slump’ of the concrete refers to the proportions of concrete which extend beyond that of the initial perimeter of the cone. For the footings and ground beams, the slump is to be no more than 80mm, which equates to a N25MPa.

Site Preparation and Footing

02

1A - The existing site conditions prior to demolition.

Envirocrete Concrete The concrete product selected for the foundations is Boral Envirocrete product no. 216027, which is a recycled concrete. The Boral Envirocrete is 25MPa with a 30% cement replacement and 20% aggregate replacement. This is poured utilising a concrete pump truck.

Concrete Pour Upon completion of excavation, pouring of concrete foundations occur. The 1000sq x 500 minimum deep blinding concrete pad footings are poured first, as the earth substrate is not treated. The fill of the bottom of the trenches for the internal and edge beams are levelled utilising a metal screed. For EB1 (Edge Beam 1) and IB2 (Internal Beam 2), 3-L12TM (3 bars of Low-Ductility 12mm thick in diameter Trench Mesh) are placed in the bottom of the trenches resting on bar chairs, reinforcement as required in compliance with AS2870. The steel reinforcement provides the waffle raft with tensile strength.

Formwork Sheathing

Strongback Steel Dropper Bracing

Area 1

01

The timber formwork is constructed in compliance with AS3610. Due to the 110mm thickness of the waffle raft slab, a timber bracing method was utilised. To ensure sufficient strength to endure the concrete load and live loads, the timber members used for the formwork are required to have a minimum cross section of 45mm and maximum depth of 90mm, in compliance with AS3610. The timber members are either drilled or nailed together to form the bracing, which is then secured to a steel dropper. The steel droppers contain holes on one side to all for screw or nail penetration for the securing to the formwork, and are hammered into the ground surface to provide stability for the formwork under load. For safety, the steel droppers are topped with a yellow plastic capping to conceal the sharp steel member.

Concrete The same Boral Envirocrete concrete product is utilised for the waffle raft. As in compliance with AS3600, the slab is required to be a minimum of 25MPa. After mixing off site by the contractors, no extra materials are to be added to the wet concrete mixture. The concrete is required to cure for at least 7 days and begins 2 hours after pouring. The medium of curing may be through a method of adding or retaining water, or the use of sprayed membrane forming curing compounds, which must be in compliance with AS3799.

Pump Operator As the pour begins, there is a single pump operator which disperses the plastic concrete mixture in the correct ordering of sections. The Conservatory was poured last in this area due to the increased height. For the stairs, a dryer mix was utilised to enable enhanced packing into the formwork.

Spreading As the concrete is being pumped there are multiple workers using a shovel to spread the wet concrete, this medium guides the mixture more efficiently through the site and into intricate spaces. A square-ended showel is utilised as opposed to a rounded shovel as it spreads the concrete more evenly.

A

Vibrating Before the concrete is applied a finish, a worker vibrates the concrete via the use of an immersion vibrator, compliance with AS3600. An immersion vibrator is purposed to pop the bubbles of the wet concrete mixture to increase the compressive strength of the slab through the rippling of the poured mixture.

This requires a worker to stand stationary with the immersion vibrator inserted into the mixture for 15 to 20 seconds until air bubbles penetrate the surface, as recommended by the CCAA in their Compaction of Concrete Guide.

B

Screeding / Trowelling During the spreading, there are also workers levelling the concrete via a hollow aluminium straightedge screed. Through a pull and pushing motion, the screed fills gaps in the surface whilst removing excess of the wet mixture. Once screeding process is completed, a small trowel is utilised to finish the concrete surface. The creation of a smooth finish is most important upon the intricate areas of the pour, such as that requiring the second pour, and the stairs.

Timber Inspection The visual process of ensuring that all timber correlates to the specifications of the drawings. This includes the quality assurance of the timber from defects, splits, rotting, but also ensure the correct stress graded timber is being utilised, in compliance with the appropriate tables in AS1684.4.

Timber Cutting As the timber framing systems are not pre-fabricated, it is required that the members be cut to size on site. This is commonly completed via the use of a circular saw, cutting the lengths of timber as it rests on saw horses. The utilisation of the circular saw must comply with AS1473.8.

Stud Wall Construction The construction of timber stud walls must comply with AS1720. To begin, the first section of wall is assembled laying on the ground to ensure ease of construction. The stud wall fabrication is in compliance with AS1684.4. The top and bottom plates are aligned as the corner studs are secured first with the remaining common studs proceeding. The wall type and spacing of studs shall be in accordance to the Architectural drawings. All studs are secured to both horizontal plates via 2/75 3.05mm nails skewed through studs into plates. All nails used must be in compliance with AS2334. Noggings are then required between that studs at 1350mm spacing maximum, which prevent the bowing of the common studs under load. Due to the enhanced height of the wall, two noggings are needed between each stud, which are also secured by 2/75 3.05mm nails skewed through noggings into the studs. The stud frame can then be lifted vertically and positioned, as it is fixed to the ground slab via either one 75mm masonry nail, a screw, or bolt at 1200mm centres maximum.

There is a utilisation of timber off cuts as bracing as sections of the wall framing is completed, this is in compliance with AS1720.

Yellow Tongue Particleboard The installing of the 19mm thick Yellow Tongue particleboard must comply with AS1860.2. A Class 1 particleboard is utilised, as the panels may be exposed to natural elements during the construction process, as the Yellow Tongue can withstand temporary moisture but not permanently, as according to AS1860.1.

The testing and quality assurance of the Class 1 Yellow Tongue is completed within AS4266.1, which ensures the appropriate use and traits of reconstituted timber products. The protection of the particleboard is also assured via appropriate testing of products through AS1604.2 categorising the product within the Hazard Class H2. The panels utilise a tongue and groove system to connect to each other, however still require appropriate fixing.

Yellow Tongue Storage Although packs of Yellow Tongue can withstand 3 months of full weather exposure, the uninstalled sheets must be protected on site. If the uninstalled panels are exposed to an excessive amount of moisture it may cause gaps when the sheets are connected and dry out. Per manufacturerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendations and AS1604.2, the not yet utilised sheets should be laid on timber battens and covered with a waterproof sheeting to allow air flow and the panels to breathe.

The unit is secured on top of the hanging beam in each bedroom via the steel brackets and screws. Each unit has a liquid and gas pipe which connects to the main situated in the ceiling of the first floor bathroom, as well as connecting to the electrical cable placed at the external wall edge. The unit is to be installed in accordance to Daikinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guidelines.

Plasterboard Installation The 13mm plasterboard for the wall must be installed in compliance with AS2589.

The 600mm spacing of the studs is 600mm maximum spacing for the substrate supports as outline in AS2589, of which plasterboard mastic adhesive is applied to in small amounts, which must be in compliance of AS2753. The plasterboard sheets are then butted to the studs and noggings with the adhesive and is fixed via 25mm screws or 2.8 x 30mm galvanised nails, which is required for 13mm plasterboard for walls in compliance with AS2589. Similar to the ceiling plasterboard installation, the butted edges , fastener indentations, and external corners are sealed with a joint cement and sanded down after application to provide a seamless finish. As there are no continuous walls exceeding 6000mm, no control joints are required to facilitate structural movement.

Insulation Installation The walls of the bedrooms are insulated utilising batts and is installed in compliance with AS3999. The batts implemented in the internal walls are 88mm Bradford Soundscreen Plus batts which have an R-Value of 2.5, whilst for external walls 2 x 120mm Bradford Soundscreen Plus are used which combine for an R-Value of 3.2. Both types of insulation are in thermal compliance with AS4859.1.

The batts can be cut to size (a little larger than the stud and nogging openings require) to ensure a snug fit via the use of a utility knife. The insulation batts are then installed by the placing in the gaps between studs and noggings, ensuring not to compress the batts below nominal thickness so they can perform at their specified R-Value, and limiting the gaps between batts to ensure consistent insulation and reduce the risk of thermal bridges, in compliance with AS3999.

Electrical Rough-In Services Before insulation is in place and the plasterboard is installed, the electrical services are to be installed by a qualified electrician in compliance with AS3000.

The cables for the general purpose outlets and air conditioning unit are fed down from the ceiling / roof systems and are required to be fed through the studs. To enable the cables to bypass the studs, holes are drilled through the centre of the vertical long face of the stud, with their size dependant on the circumference of all cables required to be fed through.

Stage 07

Plasterboard Installation and Insulation The hole for the cabling is drilled in the centre of the vertical long face and at a size which is appropriate for the required cabling to pass through. A right angle drill with hole saw bits for boring large holes is used. The holes are drilled at a consistent height, and the size of the hole must not reach a circumference which impacts the structural strength of the stud.

Timber Veneer Cut

Stage 08

Timber Veneer Match The cut for the spotted gum timber veneer panels is specified as a crown, which is when the log is cut on the longitudinal axis, with the cut parallel through the centre of the log. This method of cutting creates rhythmic elliptical shapes, which are known as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;cathedralsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. These cathedrals then morph into vertical lines which draw focus to the inner contrasting irregular forms.

Area 1 *Plan cut through first floor.

01

The spotted gum timber veneer is specified to be book matched along the length of panels of the cupboards. Book matched timber veneer leaves are folded out so to create a mirror image of the leaf beside it. This effect is produced from the two adjoining pieces utilises cuts from the same piece of wood, and this method of matching veneers ensures maximum symmetry and the flow of the grain.

Finishing Trades, Joinery, Appliances

02

Joinery Installation The cupboards for the Bedrooms and Upstairs Living Room are pre-fabricated by joiners off-site and installed on site and in compliance with AS4386. The timber implemented for the framing of the joinery is MDF (medium-density fibreboard), which is favoured for furniture due to its engineered nature causing the absence of a natural timber grain and imperfections. The MDF utilised is to be E0 structural board, in compliance with AS1859.2. The MDF framing is to be clad in Select Grade spotted gum timber veneer, end matching all abutting panel ends and mitred junctions, and book matching joins along long length of panels. The timber veneer is fixed to the MDF framing via adhesive, and is finished using Becker Acroma Waterbourne Lacquer finish with a 20% gloss and non-yellowing UV protection.

Carpet Installation The carpet implemented in all bedrooms is Picotage Luna Pearl, with a 10mm Pyrotek Soundguard Silentstep underlay, which must be installed in compliance with AS2455.1. To begin install, domestic carpet grippers are nailed to the Yellow Tongue substrate, which are used to secure carpet fittings. The underlay is then rolled out with the foam side down, and is cut to size using a utility knife, ensuring all carpet grippers are left exposed. All joins of the underlay should be butted and fixed with underlay tape. The carpet is then installed as per the conventional system of AS24555.1, via the rolling of the carpet and then securing it to the carpet gripper via the use of a knee kicker. A carpet tucker may be utilised to apply pressure to the carpet on top of the carpet gripper to ensure enhanced anchorage. Once installed, the 100 x 16mm MDF skirting boards can be installed flush with the plasterboard using a nail gun, and painted with Haymes Ultratrim semi-gloss paint.

A

Timber Floor Installation The timber flooring implemented in the upstairs living room is Select Grade spotted gum, and is in compliance with AS2796. The floorboards are laid in a random pattern, and are 130 x 19mm tongue and groove boards with a matched end profile. The floorboards are installed via a timber flooring nail gun, which nails the boards at a 45 degree angle and does not expose the penetrations. The boards are required 2 nails per board and to be driven 3mm below the surface with any penetrations filled with matching putty. There is to be a 12mm expansion gap from the perimeter walls to the flooring. The spotted gum flooring is to be finished with 2 coats of satin Treatex Traditional Hard Wax finish, which is applied via a roller or brush as per Whittle Waxes recommendations.
