When holidaying in a cabin in Australia think about what the designer and certifier had to go through to make it happen.

The designer presents the plan to the certifier and this is where the journey begins.

Remember those ‘choose your own adventure’ type books?

Well when it comes to cabins and adventure you cannot go much further than the Building Code of Australia and referenced Australian Standards.

We first step onto the path and ask what is the BCA classification of a holiday cabin? We come to a fork in the road. Is it Class 1b? Or Class 3? Or a Class 1a?

Over the hill and around the bend comes do they need to be accessible? Umm…..

If they do, to what level do they need to be accessible?

Do they have to meet just BCA Volume Two requirements? Or is it just BCA Volume One? Or is it BCA Volumes One and Two that have to be met?
We are confused, maybe we will try to go back the way I came.

If they need to meet Volumes One and Two for accessibility do they also need to meet AS1428.1, AS1428.2 and AS1428.4? Or just AS1428.1? Or AS1428.1 and AS1428.2 only?

I am completely turned around now.

Do they also need to meet Disability (Access to premises – Buildings) Standard? Or are they exempt from this if the owner is not building them?

We get to the bottom of complex problems.

Any type of planning building code and certification work you need, we can do it.

Plastic sheeting in the construction industry is used in a number of ways. The most important of which is as a vapour barrier under slab on ground construction.

The plastic sheeting stops water vapour, gases and ground pressure (hydrostatic pressure) from rising up and causing moisture problems which can lead to structural changes in the slab.

Is all plastic sheeting the same?

The answer is no.

It needs to be at least 0.2mm thick.

How do we check the thickness you ask?

The ‘0.2mm’ or 200 micrometers (um) is stamped on the sheeting.

However it is only stamped on one side so you need to be vigilant in checking both sides.

Also impact resistance varies. This means how hard it is to puncture, rip or tear.

In New South Wales Australia the Building Code of Australia requirement is different to most other states. NSW has a high impact resistance rating and other states, a medium impact rating.

How to tell the difference here? Again it is be stamped ‘high impact resistance’ on one side only. The other way is get sample pieces of high and medium impact resistance sheeting put it on the ground and try to puncture it. It is much harder to do with high impact resistance sheeting.

At Certifiers2U we need to ensure the building is built correctly using the right materials to keep you safe.

We are industry leaders and we expect all builders to comply with the minimum BCA requirements before they can proceed with their developments.
