Part B – Insurance for consumer protection Find out what type of insurance is compulsory for residential building work, for the protection of the home owner, in your state or territory. State what this insurance is called, what it covers, and when it is required. Include in your answer the minimum cover amount required, the period covered and the extent of cover provided. A type of insurance you need when building a house is Home Builders Compensation Fund Insurance (HBCF). It protects NSW homeowners as a last resort if he/she can’t complete building work or fix defects. A licensed builder or tradesperson in NSW, need to get home building compensation (HBC) cover for each home building project over $20,000 including GST. Failing to take out HBC cover for such work is an offence under NSW law. The Home Builders Compensation Fund Insurance (HBCF) is covered when the builder dies, becomes insolvent or has their building license suspended. The HBCF provides cover for:  Failure to commence work: loss of deposit under the building contract, claimable for up to 12 months from the failure to commence.  Failure to complete work: up to 20% of the contract price (including any variations), claimable for up to 12 months from the cessation of work.  Major defects: the cost of repair, claimable for a period of up to 6 years from completion of the work. If the homeowner becomes aware of the defects in the last 6 months of the period of insurance, they may claim within 6 months of awareness of the defect(s).  For non-major defects: the cost of repair, claimable for a period of up to 2 years from completion of the work. If the homeowner becomes aware of the defects in the last months of the period of insurance, they may claim within 6 months of awareness of the defect(s). When a homeowner becomes aware of a loss becomes during the period of insurance but a claim cannot be made because the builder can still be pursued, a claim can be made after the period of insurance if the loss suffered is properly notified to icare HBCF during the period of insurance and the homeowner diligently pursues the enforcement of their statutory warranty rights up to the point where a trigger event occurs under the policy and the homeowner makes a claim. The policy will provide a maximum cover per place of $300,000 if insurance is issued before 1 February 2012 and $340,000 for other polices. You need this cover to work directly for a developer, homeowner or owner-builder for new homes, new low-rise ‘multi-unit’ buildings of three story’s or less, or home renovations, unless exempt. Sub-contractors do not need the cover, because the head contractor has covered the work. You must give proof of the HBC cover to your customer before starting work or asking for any payment or deposit. The ends once the defects time period elapses after completion of works. Failing to take out HBC cover for such work is an offence under NSW law. 5 | P a g e

Part C – Contracts Suggest a contract you could use for this project. Give the name and the type of contract. If possible, include a scan or copy of the front page of the contract you have chosen. The types of contracts include, schedule of rates contracts, cost plus contracts, lump sum contracts, design and construct contracts and management contracts. The chosen contract is a ‘LUMP SUMP CONTRACT’. In the contract, the owner agrees to pay the builder a Lum sum amount after the building completion.

Part D – Legislation, codes and standards When building, it is important to be familiar with the requirements of the relevant legislation, codes and practices. One of the most important to be familiar with is the Building Code of Australia (BCA). Using the BCA answer the following questions: a. What are the ‘goals’ of the BCA? The goals of the Building Code of Australia are to enable the achievement of nationally consistent, minimum standards of relevant, health, safety (including Structural safety and safety from fire), amenity and sustainability objectives efficiently. b. Which Volume of the BCA relates to residential building? Volume 2 of the Building Code of Australia relates to the residential buildings. c. Detail the following Class of buildings: • Class 1a - single dwelling or one group of an attached dwellings which can be detached. For eg, terrace house and a villa unit. • Class 10b - the non-habitable structure which can be fence, mast, antenna, retaining, free standing wall, swimming pool etc. d. Can a Class 10a building be used as a sleeping area? No, a class 10a building cannot be used as sleeping area as it refers to non-habitable structures such as carports, private garages and sheds. e. Have a look at the ‘Interpretation’ section (Part 1.1) of the BCA. In your own words, give a description of the following terms:  Building Solution: A building solution can be defined as the building proposals which can be alternative proposals, a proposal of the deemed to satisfy provision or both and meets the criteria of the performance requirement provisions.  Alternative Solution: An alternative solution can be defined is as the building solution completely complies with the performance requirement in terms of different deemed to satisfy provisions.  Deemed to Satisfy Provisions: Deemed to satisfy provisions are provisions contained in Section 3 which every type of building and structure must comply with the Performance Requirements.  Performance Requirement : Performance requirement is a requirement which states the level of performance which a Building Solution must meet. 7 | P a g e

f. List the names of the following Australian Standards relevant to Building  AS1684: The Residential Timber Framed Construction  AS2601: The Demolition of Structures  AS2870: Residential Slabs and Footings Standard  AS3660: Termite Management  AS3700: Design and construction of Masonry of the following types  AS3740: Waterproofing of Domestic Wet Areas 8 | P a g e

Part E – Assessing Project 1 Assess the set of plans for Project 1 to see if they comply with the BCA. Indicate the relevant section and give reasons why the dwelling does or does not comply with the BCA in regards to: a. Natural lighting in bedroom 2 (show all working calculations). A window required to provide natural light that faces a boundary of an adjoining allotment must not be less than a horizontal distance of 900 mm from that boundary. The glazed panels or openings have an aggregate light transmitting area of not less than 10% of the floor area of the room to which it provides light. The dimensions of the Bedroom 2 are: Length = 3540MM Height =3490MM Total Floor Area = L*H= 3540*3490= 12.35m2 The area of light transmitting area of the building should have the 10% area of the floor area. 10% of the floor area= 12.35m2 The dimensions of the sole window in the Bedroom 2 are: Length= 1810 Height = 1200 Area of the window= 2.172 m2 Since the Light transmitting area of the window is less than above, the natural lighting in bedroom 2 does not comply with the BCA and AS2047.2-1996. b. Ventilation requirements in the en-suite to Bedroom 1. As per Part 3.8.5 Ventilation, Section 3.8.5.2, this dwelling does comply with the ventilating requirements as the required area of ventilation is 1.902m2 with the factors of the 610mm window and en-suite doorway into Bedroom 1. The ventilating area of a window is measured as the size of the openable sash of the window. This is the case regardless of the type of window, i.e. whether it is an awning, casement or sliding window and irrespective of the restrictions on the openable sash. With a ventilating area not less than 5% of the floor area of the room required to be ventilated. c. Vertical articulation of external walls (assume that the building is constructed using unreinforced masonry on Class M). The Vertical articulation of external walls are measured as per provisions of AS4773. For the class M site following are: 9 | P a g e

Up to 4m high for the 10mm joints = 5.5m From 4m to 8.5 for the 15mm joints = 5.5m From 4m to 8.5 m for the 10mm joints = 3.9m d. Location and type of door to the sanitary compartment. What is the purpose of this requirement? The Building Code of Australia defines that a sanitary compartment is a room containing a closed urinal or pan. Requirement 3.8.3.3 states unless there is a clear space of at least 1.2m between the closet pan and the doorway, the door to a fully enclosed sanitary compartment (toilet) must open outwards or slide or be readily removable from the outside of the sanitary compartment. The door type must be timber with a flush cellular core, it also has to be medium density fibre board with moisture resistance as it is considered a wet environment. There is one located on the lower level in between the study and the dining room and two upstairs, one in the master bedroom as the ensuite and one as the main bathroom upstairs beside Bed 4. All doors swing inwards as there is 1.2m clearance from all closet pans. Project 1 complies with the BCA in terms of the location and type of door used. 10 | P a g e

Part F - Erosion and sedimentation control plans Councils require Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plans (ESCP) to be submitted with most/all development applications. This is to avoid drainage problems and consequent expense for the builder and the client as well as the council (blocked drains, flooding, water quality issues). You are to prepare an ESCP for the site plan for Project 1, suitable for submission to the council. a. Contact your nearest council that requires ESCPs and obtain a copy of their requirements. This will usually include details of requirements and worked examples to assist. You might be able to access this information on their website. If you are unable to find relevant information, try the Wollongong City Councils DCP or the Landcom Urban Stormwater Flyer entitled Planning for Erosion and Sediment Control on Single Residential Allotments. List each of the documents you have used including title, author and date of publication. 1. NSW Environment Protection Authority – Guidelines for Erosion & Sediment Control on Building Sites, published 2000. 2. Campbelltown City Council - https://www.campbelltown.nsw.gov.au/LocalEnvironment/Catchmentsriversandcree ks/SoilEroisonAndSedimentControl 3. Get the Site Right – Guidelines for Erosion and Sediment Control on Building site - https://www.campbelltown.nsw.gov.au/files/assets/public/document- resources/erosionsedimentcontrolguidelinebooklet.pdf 4. Get the Site Right, Georges River Riverkeeper – Guidelines for Erosion and Sediment Control on Building site https://georgesriver.org.au/get-the-site-right b. Using the site plan for Project 1, prepare an ESCP showing the appropriate location of such things as siltation fence(s), associated drainage works, access, materials, storage etc. for the site. Provide detail sketches of any erosion control works. 1. Assess the site conditions which include site size estimation and the conditions of the slope as well as the project begin time and the structures present in the site. 2. A stabilized entry and exit will need to be created to prevent the sediment to get deposited on the roads. 3. At the location where there is a slope at the site proper structures should be installed so that the sedimentation runoff can be fully controlled within the boundary of the site. No accesses without prior permission should be allowed from the adjoining sites in order to prevent the structures from getting damaged which are installed to prevent the sedimentation runoff and for containing the runoff. 4. The next step will be to control the upslope storm water as it will be helpful in reducing the run off the sediment from the site (Wren and Davidson, 2011). The 11 | P a g e

upslope storm water is diverted to the adjacent storm water drains. Before discharging the storm water it has to be ensured that the storm water is clean for discharging into the storm water drains. Upslope Diversion Bank: 5. The soil and stockpile need to be stored in a designated area. The area should be within the site’s net boundary in which building is to be developed. Any loose materials should be placed in bins regularly. 6. The erosion of the soil will need to be controlled from problematic area. The control measure are grassing, application of the soil binders which be used in the site where the erosion problem is very severe. 7. In order to prevent the sedimentation runoff, structures like the sediment trap and the mulch banks should be provided on the boundaries (Wren and Davidson, 2011). The temporary downpipes should be installed in order to drain water from the roof tops. The water from the roof tops should be discharged away from the area of the building. Prevention of the Inlet pit from the sedimentation runoff: To install the structures: 1. Set up of the No go Area in the site. 2. Develop the drains and the Structures for sedimentation controls. 3. Prepare the area for the stock pile of the materials. 4. The application of the erosion control measures. 5. Landscaping of the area designated for construction on the site. 6. The last step will be to remove the temporary structures. Site plan and images on following page. 12 | P a g e
