Master Builders Foreword Welcome to the 2014/15 edition of BuildIT Victoria This year has seen the building and construction sector work hard to emerge from a lean period. The sheer hard work and determination demonstrated by our members in pushing through these challenges has been both inspiring and encouraging. Master Builders has been right behind members, every step of the way, working hard to provide the products, services and government lobbying support required to make life a little easier for you. Among the successes we’ve had over the past year have been the Strong Building, Strong Economy campaign run during the 2013 Federal Election. This nationwide campaign was aimed at highlighting the importance of a flourishing construction sector to the national economy. Master Builders has also secured a range of other ‘wins’ including: • Significantly reducing the number of properties impacted by bushfire prone areas; • Cuts to WorkCover premiums; and, • Record land releases provided by the State Government. We also helped to ensure infrastructure spending were a key focus of both the State and Federal Budgets. But there is still plenty more work to be done. We are currently working towards obtaining changes to legislation proposed in State Parliament that will overhaul builders’ registration, how domestic building insurance works and how consumer disputes are handled. You, our members, have asked for many of these outcomes and we are working hard to achieve solutions for you. Similarly, BuildIT is here to help you access all the products and services you need to operate efficiently. This latest edition, the fourteenth since the inception of BuildIT, contains all the product, service and labour solutions you could possibly need; all in the one place. Master Builders continue to rely upon BuildIT as the first place they look for building products, suppliers, materials, subcontractors and consultants. So as the construction industry continues to evolve, rest assured that BuilIT and all of the benefits that come with your Master Builders membership will remain. We are here to help you to win work and perform work well. I encourage you to use this journal as a starting point.

Lobbying As Victoria’s peak professional body for the building industry, Master Builders is your voice on local, State and Federal Government matters. One of Master Builders’ most important roles is to lobby governments for reforms that can support you and your business. We’re also here to advise you on the changes to laws, rules and policies made by governments. Our well-connected team works to raise the profile of our industry with key local, state and national politicians and policymakers and secure outcomes that strengthen our sector. This work is done in partnership with members who sit on our sector committees. Outcomes have been secured for members as part of our lobbying efforts and Master Builders ran the successful Strong Building, Strong Economy campaign during the 2013 Federal Election. Other results delivered in recent times include: • Massive boosts to government funding for non-residential construction projects, such as East West Link, the Melbourne Rail Link, an airport rail line and upgrades to level crossings and other roads; • Securing a Federal Government commitment to reinstate the Australian Building and Construction Commission; • Significantly reducing the number of properties impacted by bushfire prone area zones across the state; • Increasing wall heights on boundaries standards to reduce red tape for builders; • Abolishing mandatory requirements for commercial building defects insurance; • Opening up the installation of metal roofs to builders as well as plumbers; • Getting revisions to government planning policies, which now aim to deliver 1.6 million new homes across Melbourne; • Cuts to WorkCover premiums; and • Record land releases provided by the State Government.

One of the key issues we are currently working on is obtaining changes to legislation proposed in State Parliament that will overhaul how domestic building insurance works, how consumer disputes will be handled and how building practitioners will be registered. In addition, work is also continuing on: • Spreading the word about the latest activity trends in our industry with senior politicians; • Simplifying Victoria’s overly-complex planning system and providing more opportunities for streamlined planning processes; • Reducing owner builder activity and cracking down on work being done by unregistered builders and tradespeople; • Requiring tradespeople and site supervisors to be registered, like what happens in other states; • Holding councils to account for making timely, sensible planning and building decisions as well as addressing inconsistent rules across council borders; and • Having an independent housing affordability review undertaken to help reduce the impact of taxes, levies and development charges on new homes. Members can stay in touch with the latest updates by visiting www.mbavnews.com.au and by getting involved with our member-based sector committees. You can call us on (03) 9411 4555 for more information or if you have any questions.

Sustainable Building Training: Master Builders delivers a number of nationally accredited training programs designed for both domestic and commercial builders. The training programs aim to provide builders and their contractors with the knowledge, information and tools to build sustainability options into their construction in order to better respond to client and tender requirements. Master Builders Green Living – Domestic: Specifically designed for residential or small scale builders, you can learn how to easily meet the energy efficiency regulations and build energy efficient houses that are healthier and more comfortable for your clients. Sustainable Construction – Commercial: This training is specifically for commercial builders. Course participants will learn about green buildings and complete their own environmental policy and management plan. MASTER BUILDERS GREEN CARD – ENVIRONMENTAL INDUCTION: This new, essential training module will ensure your staff are aware of their basic, onsite environmental responsibilities and competent in the use of essential environmental tools. Master Builders believes environmental training should achieve the same level of competency as onsite safety training and the Green Card will offer basic awareness in a similar role to the White Card or Construction Induction Training. No one should enter your building site without the basic knowledge to obey environmental procedures and the skills to competently operate environmental equipment. Sustainable ‘Green’ Building Advice: Green buildings are increasingly becoming a part of the construction landscape. Responding to sustainability requirements has now become a common part of the tendering process. Master Builders can provide you with the latest information, training and advice to help you to meet tender, legislative and client requirements. This specialist advice and support for members includes; on-site inspections and advice on environmental management procedures, operations and compliance; help with preparing environmental management plans and responding to tendering questions; assistance with sourcing environmentally preferable materials and services and tailored on-site training for inducting contractors and all your employees.

Melfoam Acoustics Melfoam Acoustics is passionate about lowering noise levels and eliminating unwanted echoes in rooms where people interact with one another. Our acoustic foam panels, clouds, ribbons and baffles enhance the acoustics in critical listening environments. All our acoustic products are fire resistant and have a Class 1 Fire Rating. The Melfoam Acoustics panels work by absorbing sound waves that reflect off multiple hard surfaces in a room which in turn dissipates the sound energy which leads to the noise level being reduced and the elimination of echoes.

Acoustic ceiling panels, wall panels, acoustic clouds and ribbons and acoustic baffles Melfoam Acoustics provides a very simple and cost effective solution to lower noise levels and eliminating echoes in rooms with acoustic problems. The majority of our customers purchase our standard white 700mm x 700mm x 40mm thick acoustic panels that come in a box of six. For larger rooms such as school gyms or assembly halls, our acoustic baffles are extremely cost effective at controlling noise levels and reverberation times.

For customers that require sound absorbing foam panels that add an architectural feature to the room, we can supply acoustic clouds or acoustic ribbons which are highly effective at controlling noise levels and they also look great. Melfoam Acoustics can also produce custom made products.

Why our acoustic foam panels and acoustic baffles are so effective The human ear is very effective at hearing sounds in the frequency range of 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. However it is in the range of 10003500 Hz that our ears are most sensitive. Any sound absorption panels that are fitted to a room must be highly efficient at absorbing unwanted noise in this frequency range. The 40mm thick 700mm x 700mm Melfoam Acoustic ceiling panels and wall panels have great sound absorbing properties at 500 Hz and above. Thus their ability to reduce noise and eliminate echoes is excellent.

IXL Tastic® range, Australia’s first light, heat and ventilation units The first IXL Tastic® three in one heat, fan and ventilation product was designed, manufactured and launched 30 years ago.

IXL have steadfastly continued to refine and evolve the Tastic® Original to develop the most comprehensive collection of three in one solutions in the market inclusive of: Classic Tastic® Triumph (three different models), Original Tastic®, Premium Tastic® Sensation and Premium Tastic® Silhouette, Eco Tastic® (two different models: Triumph and Sensation), Easy Duct Tastic® and the Tastic® Neo Single or Tastic® Neo Dual. Each solution has been developed to suit different sized spaces and unique bathing environmental and local climatic conditions. Every bathroom in Australia can benefit from having the most effective ventilation, illumination and heating source for their budget and needs, whether that’s a bathroom update, a major refurbishment or a new build. IXL was also first in the marketplace with the launch of the revolutionary Tastic® Neo – new generation heat, fan and light category – conceived to meet the demand for a contemporary and sleek product suited to high-spec bathrooms. IXL’s knowledge of three in one heat, light and ventilation solutions draws on the company’s rich history of innovation and local manufacturing since 1858. Investing extensively in research and development, IXL’s in-house engineers and design team work collaboratively with Australia’s leading industrial designers to ensure IXL products are at the forefront of extraction, heat and illumination performance, material durability, safety, service, warranty and aesthetics. The company is committed to providing local jobs, supporting communities and sustaining time-honoured design and manufacturing skills in Australia. Fresh, clean air quality, effective ventilation and illumination from energy efficient products engineered to perform and built to last – the Tastic® three in one - truly is IXL’s domain.

Here are 10 compelling reasons why you should only buy a Tastic® 1. IXL Tastic® is an Australian design icon. The development and performance of each IXL Tastic® is informed and refined with the experience of 155 years of Australian design and manufacturing knowledge and expertise. 2. Because quality matters. IXL Tastic® is designed and made in Australia for Australian conditions from durable, high-quality materials and leading-edge technologies. 3. Unparalleled service and worry-free warranty. All IXL Tastic® units offer the quality assurance of full testing to meet stringent Australian Standards. IXL Tastic’s® performance record is exceptional. In fact there has never been a product recall and with product fault rates well below one per cent you can be assured that your IXL Tastic® will be a worry-free fitting. 4. A nod to local jobs. IXL Tastic® is designed and manufactured in Geelong by proud Australian company IXL – leaders, innovators and inventors of the Tastic®. 5. Use less energy. IXL is committed to assisting consumers to curb energy use and reduce household bills. 6. See the light. IXL Tastic® offer a choice of illumination possibilities - stand alone or as an additional light source. 7. A perfect balance of form and function. Collaboration between engineers and industrial designers ensures that each IXL Tastic® product combines aesthetic detailing with reliable performance. 8. Because brand and value for money counts. Beware, not all three in one ventilation, light and heating products are the same. Genuine IXL Tastic® products are engineered to offer high durability and reliable performance over many years with the backing of in-home service and warranty across the collection. 9. Align yourself with high performers. Matching a Tastic® solution with your unique bathroom environment will help to expel humid air and steam before it condenses - to keep mould, mildew and build up of stale air at bay. 10. Exceed your expectations. Because one size does not fit all it’s important to seek advice to ensure you select the right unit for the job at hand – with the appropriate ventilation capacity, illumination strength and heating experience. To find out about selecting the best fit IXL Tastic® product for your bathroom contact us today.

commercial cleaning

The site clean-up is the "Next First Impression" How often in the commercial construction and maintenance industries have we heard about the “property clean up” being unsatisfactory?

In today’s world of deadlines and higher standards we not only need to get a job done, but do it with polish. In the commercial construction and maintenance industries, a less than quality outcome, such as half finished site clean ups, can have a significant impact on how your brand is seen by your potential clients–the ‘Next First Impression’. Recently, after alterations to a commercial property, a clean-up organisation was contracted to get the place looking ship shape. At the last minute, it was found the job had been “half done”, with the site still having significant debris left behind. This result risked expensive repercussions, including deadlines needing to be moved and the potential loss of interested buyers. Daniel Broadbent of Broad Services has heard the horror stories of poor site clean ups time and time again. In fact, Daniel has developed Broad Services with the intention of filling that gap in the market. Broad Services’ level of professionalism and care takes advantage of the latest technology to ensure customer satisfaction and quality outcomes. That is precisely why some very well-known companies, such as Hungry Jack’s, ALDI Stores, KFC, Energy Power Systems and St John Ambulance Australia, along with many others, call on Broad Services.

Cupolex® the structural dome Concrete foundations become green. Cupolex is a patented structural dome concrete slab system made from recycled non-toxic polypropylene. Each dome easily interconnects to create a self supporting structure acting as permanent form work, as an alternative to waffle slab polystyrene and/or hard fill in your concrete slab. Not only does Cupolex provide an absolute barrier and reduce the potential for rising damp with no capillary action possible, but it also is cost effective.

Cupolex can be used for a variety applications: • Residential, commercial and industrial slabs • Freezer floor slabs • Road constructions • Air recirculation systems • Building renovations in place of hard fill • Sites with high and low weight bearings • Effective solution in flood plane sites

What is Cupolex? Cupolex is an environmentally friendly and cost effective alternative to Rib Raft, Stiffened Raft and other concrete void systems. Cupolex allows designers, builders and developers to specify a cost effective foundation, which is both green and sustainable. All the while reducing building cycle time and minimising engineered fill requirements which can be very expensive. The name Cupolex comes from the Italian word 'Cupola' meaning dome. Millions of square metres of Cupolex have been laid in concrete slabs and foundations throughout the Americas, Australasia and Europe. Inventors of the Cupolex system Pontarolo Engineering have been marketing Cupolex worldwide since 1990. It was originally developed as a solution to ventilate radon gas from new buildings for the US Air Force in Italy. It is now a requirement for all new construction for the US Air Force. Radon gas is prevalent in areas of Europe and the USA and some parts of Australia. Since its creation, the Cupolex system has been utilised as a solution in a number of different capacities other than its original design.

Benefits • Manufactured from 100 per cent recycled plastic • Speedy and easy installation • Can be fully ventilated to reduce power usage • No waste • Standard components that lock together • Reduced safety and environmental hazards • Excellent thermal rating • Reduces carbon footprint • Average home delivery is two pallets • Transport costs reduced • Mitigating rising damp

Fireplaces to transform your home Agnews Fireplaces are experts in the design and refurbishment of fireplaces; from traditional to contemporary installations, we have the solution for every project.

In their 35 years of business, Agnews Fireplaces have worked with countless numbers of homemakers and assisted with all sorts of fireplace projects. Their expertise spans traditional eras such as Victorian and Edwardian, right through to today’s eclectic modern decorating trends. According to Nicholas Agnew from Agnews Fireplaces, considering your fireplace early in the project is as important as the decisions you make about other static fittings such as windows, doors and light fittings. “Giving a fireplace the correct treatment can have a significant impact on the success of a home improvement project,” observes Nicholas. Agnews believe that the fireplace should respect the room’s architectural features, complement its style and balance with the furnishing mix. Proportions, style, choice of materials and ability to showcase the fire are all very important considerations. Nicholas says, “we help with a lot of period homes, where the demand for traditional fireplaces is still very strong, but now almost always includes some form of decorative burner system. The approach to decorating in some of these older homes is now more relaxed. Quite often we will create a fireplace setting

that combines components from the homes’ traditional era, with contemporary elements. We are observing some very exciting projects taking place in homes of the 1950s, 60s and 70s eras. Classic styled fireplace settings, combined with efficient space heating are very strong there. Retro themes are growing in popularity and we have developed some modernist concepts to meet this demand. Clean, minimalist forms are very much the preference for contemporary townhouses, apartments and casual living spaces.” With the vast array of fireplace furniture available, it is possible to create a fireplace setting to suit any decorating style. However, ensuring that the fireplace complements the big picture and makes a worthy contribution to the space does require planning. As Nicholas Agnew says, “bringing the fireplace up the list of project priorities does make a lot of sense.”

Totalspan launches growth plans The steel building and shed industry is feeling the positive effects of a buoyant housing market and renewed confidence in the construction sector.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics disclosed in January that new home approvals rose 22.2 per cent last year, an encouraging hint of economic growth ahead. Kerry Edwards, General Manager of Totalspan, Australasia's leading customised steel building and shed franchise, reveals that the wider construction sector is also feeling the knock-on effect of low interest rates. "Our latest franchise to launch in Townsville has been inundated since opening last November and has had to recruit new staff to keep up with enquiries,” Kerry says. The improved housing data couldn't come at a better time for Totalspan, which has spent the last few years focusing on the group's strategic growth plans. Kerry says, “the last three years have been spent finalising our product range, systems and manufacturing process. We've been working to prepare the network for rapid expansion and to ensure the correct support systems are in place to add real value to both existing and new franchisees coming on board.” Until recently, all recruitment was effectively on hold. “Support systems and a strong platform for growth have been the real strategy, so we removed ourselves from all recruitment solicitation during this time, including Seek Commercial activity,” Kerry said.

Kerry believes recent activity in Townsville is the tip of the iceberg regarding what is possible in the Australian steel building market. “Unlike our competitors, we are seeing and supporting an increase in what we call Customer Specific Design. This differentiates us, which paired with the success in Townsville, has given us real confidence that we can quickly make an impact. Our next step is to begin investing in more franchisees to take advantage of the current demand.” Totalspan's parent company originated in New Zealand over 35 years ago and since establishing a network in Australia, has erected over 15,000 steel buildings and sheds in the last 20 years. Offering an end-to-end solution–designing, making and building– Totalspan's proprietary system positions franchisees as the go-to experts in both standard and bespoke steel structures for all uses.

The Cannon 2014 Powerflue Gas Log Heaters Collection Cannon Powerflue Gas Log Heaters safely create the delightful warmth and atmosphere of a traditional log fire. To suit different tastes and interior aesthetics Cannon Gas Log Powerflue Heaters are available in two distinctive styles: the Canterbury Classic 2014 and the Fitzroy Profile 2014 Series. The elegantly curved Canterbury Classic Series 2014 with powerflue features: double glazed glass, an enhanced flame and electronic controls. There is a choice of sophisticated black or contemporary platinum metallic finish, which can be fuelled by either LP or natural gas. The Fitzroy Profile Series 2014 with powerflue echoes those features (double glazed glass, an enhanced flame and electronic controls), finishes (black or platinum metallic) and choice of LP or natural gas.

3. Apartments and newer homes require a powerflue system because they are much more airtight than older style homes. 4. Large living spaces of up to 80m2 are capably covered by Cannon Powerflue Gas Log Heaters, which offer superior heating efficiency for larger areas. 5. Where thinking outside the square is needed — Cannon Powerflue Gas Log Heaters can flue up to six metres vertically, sideways or under floor, as well as in chimneys, and penetrate through any external wall and be concealed with a weather proof box. They’re also a fabulous option for use in multi-storey apartments. Cannon Gas Log Heaters are proudly designed and manufactured for Australian conditions and distributed and supported by Sampford IXL in Australia.

Five reasons why a Cannon Powerflue Gas Log Heater is the best choice: 1. Five star rating — Due to their unique heat exchange technology and controlled heat and fan settings, Cannon Powerflue Gas Log Heaters function more efficiently than a standard gas space heater. 2. A well-sealed room is a fitting locale for a powerflue heater where the external flue allows combustion gasses to be vented safely outside.

GreenStuf Home Insulation Making an informed decision on what insulation to use is vital to your clients overall comfort and safety. It is important to understand how the insulation does its job when installed in the building. Look for products that declare a resistance-to-heat-flow value (R-Value) or a detailed description of how a total systems R-Value is obtained. Always make sure the insulation you are installing complies with AS/NZS4859.1. This standard sets out the applicable test methods and labelling requirements that are relevant to insulation.

Simple things to take into consideration when making choices for your clients: • Does the insulation have AS/NZS4859.1 building code certification? Greenstuf® does. • How long will the insulation continue to perform? Greenstuf® has a long life span with a 50 year warranty. • Does the insulation contain harmful chemicals? Greenstuf® is 100 per cent free from carcinogens, toxic irritants and chemical binders making it completely recyclable and safe to use. • Can the insulation tolerate moisture and mould? Greenstuf® is able to recover even when subjected to moisture. • Is your insulation resistant to pests and vermin? Greenstuf® can not be torn or chewed by pest or vermin.

Get your hands on the

right

It is important to make sure you get the fundamentals right when making decisions around the type of insulation installed. Making the wrong choice can cost exorbitant amounts of money, as replacing insulation requires cladding or interior linings to be removed. Please do not hesitate to contact Autex Pty Ltd to make sure you are making the right decision on behalf of your clients. If unsure, ask the supplier or manufacturer to provide evidence of conformity and to ensure the products suitability for the intended use. Autex Pty Ltd would be more than happy to provide all documentation required to back any of its products.

All Greenstuf® Insulation has a Group 1 Fire Rating.

Lighting

Home.Light: The Future of Lighting Intelligent lighting and design solutions encompassing the fast evolving technologies of LEDs and wireless controlled lighting devices are the way of the future. A lot has changed since 1879. The first automobile was still six years away and television more than 40 years away...and the internet? Well, you get the picture. Yet something that hasn’t changed is the basic operation of home and commercial lighting. Routine has always been the same – get up, walk over, flick the switch. At Home.Light we believe it’s time for a change. We know it can be so much easier. There is little doubt that the advent of LED technology has, and is, revolutionising today’s domestic and commercial lighting installations. The efficiency of LEDs with regards to power consumption, longevity, minimal heat output and more features than any previous lighting technology is well documented. These advances have also driven the need for a whole new way in which we control and interact with our lighting systems. This is where Home.Light products are pushing the technological boundaries to bring you a simple, seamless and affordable alternative. Expensive automation systems, once the realm of the more exclusive end of the market, are now a viable and achievable alternative for both builders and end users alike; Home.Light wireless enabled lighting devices are the way of the future.

BuildIT Victoria 2014/15

The Home.Light product range incorporates LED bulbs, down lights and strip lighting and is both wireless and fully integrated. The lighting solutions are easily controlled via smartphone, wireless remote or home computer, meaning that end users can readily personalise configurations to suit their personal needs. And you can still maintain control with your existing light switches if you choose. This advanced technology enables users the functionality to set and save scenes, link zones, soft fade, dim, change the colour temperature for any light, create motion triggers and switch appliances with timing functions—plus the smartphone app incorporates a discrete button enabling every light in the house to be switched off. Home.Light’s ingenious range of technologically superior products significantly enhances the user experience and offers a range of exciting features previously unattainable within this price range.

pav i n g

Eco-friendly panels by Waterpave EcoPanel by Waterpave is the latest product designed and manufactured by WaterPave Australia Pty Ltd. EcoPanel has been developed as a self-supporting panel insert system for use within hard streetscape projects where new tree planting is required. The panels are easily removable, weighing only 20kg per panel due to their lightweight aluminium construction. This allows easy access for maintenance crews to inspect and maintain the tree’s health and soil top-up if necessary. The lightweight design aids in the cleaning and maintenance of panels and replacement if damaged. The innovative design has taken tree growth into consideration by containing an interchangeable tree growth insert ring. The tree growth insert can easily be removed and replaced with a new insert of a larger diameter hole to accommodate the tree’s growth. This eliminates the need to use loose mulch or loose stones around the trunk of the tree. Once the lightweight aluminium panel has been fabricated, Waterpave’s unique, patented, two-layer, resin-bonded, permeable system is added. The sub-base layer comprises recycled car tyres and the top surface layer consists of high-quality granite. These two layers contain Waterpave’s high performance UV stable-resins to provide an engineered structure that is flexible, strong and permeable.

EcoPanel has many environmental benefits such as reducing the ‘Heat Island Effect’, allowing rainwater to pass through the permeable surface directly to the roots of the tree, plus the added feature of recycling old ‘end of life’ rubber tyres. For every standard EcoPanel tree pit system installed, 4.5 rubber tyres are prevented from entering landfills and waterways.

polished concrete

Polished concrete – What is all the hype about Polished concrete is not new. It dates back as far as 9000BC. The first decorative use of polished concrete was in Neolithic buildings of Western Asia. Polished concrete has been given several different names by different companies over the years. At CCC Polished Concrete we cannot understand why that is?

What is polished concrete? Polished concrete is achieved by machine grinding and machine polishing the concrete surface.

• Ensure the company you choose has years of experience in polishing concrete. • Ensure they have the correct machinery and equipment to give you the best floor. • Check out their office, showroom, location. • Fixing mistakes is not cheap. Get it correct the first time.

Benefits of polished concrete What is grind and seal? Grind and seal is the process of machine grinding and applying a surface sealer to give the concrete the polished finish.

Procedure Achieving polished concrete is a step-by-step procedure. CCC Polished Concrete is the leader of the industry. We are constantly refining and developing improvements to our procedures of polished concrete, ensuring only CCC Polished Concrete can deliver the best polished concrete floors in the business.

Basic rules when looking for polished concrete

Polished concrete is considered a good sustainable floor option. A fusion of art and science which creates a workable surface and longevity compared to other flooring finishes. CCC Polished Concrete is virtually able to offer any finish that architects, designers, builders or the owner desires. We take pride in offering a full and comprehensive service to architects, builders, concreters and owners. CCC Polished Concrete has the best showroom, industry leading equipment and fully trained staff.

For more information contact: Phone: (03) 9761 5233 Website: www.cccpolishedconcrete.com.au

• Forget gimmicks, polished concrete is polished concrete. • Don’t rush into selecting a company, do your homework. • Order the correct concrete mix and MPA for polishing. • Investigate the company you are going to use.

sKYlights

Give your design the daylighting difference Solatube skylights have revolutionised the industry, with breakthrough technologies that assist design professionals in obtaining their Green Star accreditation objectives.

Critical to the success of many of the world's most outstanding design achievements has been the inclusion of natural light. Solatube are the global leaders in daylighting and have proven their success over the past two decades. In 2004, Solatube Australia placed a challenge to all of its competitors. The challenge was to supply a product that beat the Solatube Daylighting System in delivering the most natural light into homes and commercial buildings. It's no surprise that this task remains uncontested to date. Further, in 2012, Solatube was recognised as the most trusted skylight brand and also ranked in the top 100 trusted brands in Australia. Winner of an Australian Design Award, this product continues to be improved with ongoing research and development. These advances have resulted in a skylight that delivers vast improvements in illumination, consistency and thermal performance, without sacrificing lighting performance. Solatube’s Daylighting Systems exceed the stringent rooflight performance requirements under Section J of the Building Code of Australia. The skylights capture daylight through a leakproof rooftop dome, from pre-dawn to post-dusk and through all weather conditions. This natural light is then transferred down a highly reflective patented tubing and through a flush-fitting, decorative glass, ceiling diffuser, to the space below. The amount of light can be controlled by fitting an optional light control switch, as the daylight reflected inside the room, hallway or closet is significantly brighter than a standard electric light. To reflect the design aesthetic of a home, the Decorative Glass Fixture range offers a choice of six styles. Other products available in daylighting are now long outperformed. Problems such as heat gain/loss and resultant increases in air conditioning consumption, untimely difficulty in installation, and locating viable installation areas, roof impediments and light discolouration, are non-existent with Solatube Skylights. At the heart of every Solatube Skylight, you'll discover an array of innovative technologies that defy conventional thinking. Technology in the dome nearly doubles the Effective Daylight Capture Surface (EDCS) compared to ordinary, clear domes used by tubular skylights. The proprietary reflective tubing uses a revolutionary, multi-layer polymer surface to reflect more light than physicists thought possible. In fact, it is the most reflective material in the world without using environmentally harmful metals. The Solatube Smart LED System is specifically designed for residential use. When the daylight is insufficient to provide lighting, LEDs that sit above the decorative glass ceiling diffuser activate, lighting the area. The system uses a patented Daylight Sensor

BuildIT VIcTorIa 2014/15

to activate the LEDs. Furthermore, to save on energy costs, an occupancy sensor can also be used, triggering the LED light only when a room that requires additional light is occupied. It really is an intelligent fusion of daylighting and LED lighting that senses when one or the other should be employed—without a person having to flick a light switch. Daylighting is changing the way we look at commercial spaces. While the benefits of using daylight in the workplace are well documented by several reputable studies, until Solatube, there had not been a product that effectively integrated into commercial spaces. Innovation in design has seen systems installed that travelled 17.2 metres through four, 90 degree bends to the required delivery point. When you seriously consider the effect daylight has on reduced energy consumption, improved employee productivity and reduced absenteeism. It is realistic to acknowledge that Solatube Daylighting Systems are playing an increasing role in commercial and industrial lighting applications. Solatube is acknowledged as a contributor to smart grid technology in its delivery of controllable, measurable and consistent light performance.

The stone experts When it comes to advanced techniques, proven experience and reliable service, the stone experts mean business. Allstone Restorations has been in business for more than 15 years, providing a wide range of services to upmarket commercial and residential customers. We work closely with specialists such as architects and interior designers, as well as suppliers, to ensure that we meet our customers’ expectations. We are well respected in the industry as professionals who can identify the problem, come up with a solution, and execute a process to achieve a desired finish. As a one-stop-shop, you can be assured that we draw on many years worth of experience with different products and services. Our word is your guarantee that the job will be done to your expectation. We back up our specialised skills and experience, and our unique understanding of the science of stone care, with a commitment to reliable, responsive service in every detail. If you are looking for a company to help with any aspect of stone restoration or maintenance, then call Allstone Restorations!

Our services include: • Fact-based evaluation process: Accurately identifying customer needs – then developing a personalised solution to suit. • Cleaning: We do more than just a construction clean—we do a detailed clean. This removes the contamination from the surface and other trapped substances without damaging the stone. • Sealing: We select the appropriate sealant according to the usage requirements of the stone. For example, penetrating sealer

may be used on polished stone, allowing it to breathe without increasing slip. Or, we might select a semi topical sealer, which provides a more robust protection. • Repairs: This covers a multitude of work, from removing stains, colourising and dye treatment, to bring out consistency to the finish. • Polishing: Places a reflective finish on the surface, removing micro scratches and minor etches to bring back the shine. • Honing: We hone a surface to remove wear and tear and to improve the finish of the polishing process. Honing is also used to produce a low shine finish. • Grinding and leveling: Sometimes scratches are deep or the tiles are not level. These problems can be made good by grinding, using harsher cutters. • Anti-slip: We can improve the safety of floors either by providing an acidic process which permanently etches the surface, or we can treat the surface every three years or so with a new etch treatment. • Anti-etch: Marble vanities and bench tops are prone to acid attack. Protect the surface from etch marks for up to seven years with our new revolutionary product (does not protect against scratches).

Tufflift raise the standard in home hoist solutions These days, when it comes to designing and constructing houses, it is not just the living spaces and outside entertaining areas that require the most attention.

Nowadays, there is an increasing desire for owners to include the ultimate ‘man cave’, whether it is integrated within the new build or as part of an extension. With an ever growing trend towards collecting and restoring classic cars, or the need for storing a third car, the average two car garage restricts the opportunity to add to the family fleet. Today, with the inclusion of a car hoist as part of the design, there are many solutions available for those with limited space or those wishing to turn their garage into a functional workshop. With adequate ceiling height in a garage, the addition of a four-post hoist turns one parking space into two with a second car elevated off the ground and stored while the daily driver can be parked beneath. Two-post hoists are also popular amongst the home mechanic or restorer, as the car can be lifted clear off the ground allowing access to all aspects of the body, engine and chassis for servicing or repairs. Tufflift is an Australian company, based in Victoria that has been servicing the automotive industry for more than 30 years and stocks one of the largest ranges of hoists, as well as other workshop equipment. Tufflift has built a reputation as a leading international hoist manufacturing and distribution company, offering an extensive range of two and four-post hoists, to fit any space. With a network of manufacturing facilities in China, each hoist is made to meet strict Australian standards for the Australian market. Over the years, their hoists have evolved due to the dedicated design team who incorporate the latest safety and ergonomic features across the full range on offer. As quality assurance is paramount, qualified engineers guarantee the use of high grade steel and quality components in each product. Tufflift’s after sales service is equally as efficient, with a full range of spare parts and service teams available to maintain the reliability of the products they stand behind. Tufflift pride themselves on their quality product range and customer service, ensuring you choose the right hoist for your space. It is not always an easy decision to make when choosing the most suitable hoist, as there are many considerations and options such as the size of the car, the height and width of the garage and the main purpose it will be used for. Do you choose an overhead or base plate design? Symmetrical or asymmetric arms? The list goes on. This is where a local Australian owned company has its benefits as the friendly staff at Tufflift can explain in simple terms, the differences between each model to help you make an informed decision. With more than 60 years combined experience in sales, installation and service, the team has extensive industry knowledge to help design the optimum space usage in your workshop or garage.

BuildIT VIcTorIa 2014/15

The range that Tufflift carries isn’t just restricted to two and four-post car hoists either. They supply truck and custom-built hoists, plus motorcycle and scissor hoists, can be installed discretely into the concrete slab of a garage floor without taking up any space, for convenient and immediate use. Other products like rotisseries and tyre changers for the serious mechanic are also available. Tufflift is one of the largest stockists of hoists in Australia, with a full range always in stock, along with an extensive range of parts and accessories. If required, customised hoists can also be designed and manufactured to your specifications to ensure you do have the ultimate ‘man cave’.

3 Point Motors: The award-winning Mercedes-Benz dealership Discover the latest that Mercedes-Benz has to offer with their innovative upgrades to the people mover and light commercial vehicle segment.

Drawing on more than half a century’s worth of experience in the business, 3 Point Motors has an unrivalled wealth of expertise and specialist knowledge behind them. In 2011, 3 Point Motors celebrated their 50th anniversary; a reflection of a company who knows what it’s doing, and who does it well. Further testament to their longevity is their Light Commercial Vehicle Sales Manager, Danny Cronin, who has been a core member of the team for 35 years. The team at 3 Point Motors prides themselves on delivering excellence, whether it be in terms of customer service, business solutions and fleet management, servicing or simply through the range of vehicles that they offer. Their commitment to bringing customers the very best of the Mercedes-Benz range saw 3 Point Motors awarded Australian Metropolitan Van Dealer of the Year for two consecutive years (2011 and 2012). Three flagship vehicles that we endorse from the recently revamped Mercedes-Benz people mover and light commercial vehicle range are as follows:

Vito (2011 Van of the Year, Delivery Magazine) Tough, indestructible and dependable, Mercedes-Benz has undertaken a comprehensive revamp of the Vito, which is now even more economical and kinder to the environment, more practical and more dynamic. Readily recognisable by its new ‘face’, the improved Vito combines the style of the current passenger cars from MercedesBenz with the robustness of a commercial vehicle. New engines and new transmissions enhance performance while reducing emissions and fuel consumption by up to 15 per cent. The reconfigured chassis is tailored to the transportation of goods or passengers, and the driver’s workplace and passenger compartment are more attractively appointed than ever. Typical of vans from Mercedes-Benz, the highly robust and reliable engineering and technology is fronted by an attractively designed exterior. To reflect the major changes under the bodywork of the new generation, Mercedes-Benz has also incorporated new features into the exterior, which serve to highlight the Vito’s solid, and dependable character.

Sprinter Mercedes-Benz have introduced their new look Sprinter, which continues to set standards and boasts five new safety systems plus a striking appearance. The Sprinter has lent its name to an entire vehicle segment and is a synonym for large vans from 3.5 tonnes to 5.0 tonnes of GVW around the globe.

BuildIT Victoria 2014/15

The Sprinter has always driven innovations in its segment — a tradition that is being continued by the new model. The following systems are celebrating their world debut in the Sprinter: Crosswind Assist, COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST and Blind Spot Assist. Other new features are Highbeam Assist and Lane Keeping Assist. The developers at Mercedes-Benz are convinced that these electronic assistants will play a key role in helping to reduce accidents in the van sector. In addition, Mercedes-Benz has improved the Sprinter’s handling even further. The lowering of the chassis has improved the van’s drag and fuel consumption, making it easier to load and unload cargo.

Valente (2012 & 2013 People Mover of the Year, Delivery Magazine) Mercedes-Benz has responded to customer feedback with their latest entrant in the people mover segment, the eight-seater Valente—a mid-range variant to the upscale Viano. Built on the same platform as the Vito and Viano models, the Valente will provide customers with a well priced family vehicle which is truly easy to own and easy to drive. “We have repositioned the Vito Wagon to a reduced price of $49,990, which, coupled with the Valente at $54,490 and the Viano at $70,946 means there are now three very distinct price points for our range of people movers” said Dr Kolja Rebstock, Managing Director of Mercedes-Benz, Commercial Vehicles.

The perfect tools for the job. Available at 3 Point Motors. 3 Point Motors is proud to offer exceptional value across our award-winning range of light commercial vehicles including the Mercedes-Benz Vito, Sprinter and Valente.

With South Yarra and Port Melbourne, Volkswagen owners will now have access to four prime locations to keep their vehicle in check. So wherever you are in Melbourne, you can always be sure you and your business needs are covered. This formidable range of Commercial Vehicles features the mighty Volkswagen Amarok—back-to-back winner of 4x4 Australia Magazine’s Ute of the Year for 2011 and 2012, and 2014 winner of Delivery Magazine’s Ute of the Year as well. Available in Single Cab and Dual Cab models, the spirited Amarok offers a choice between two powerful yet efficient TSI and TDI engines. Add to this the biggest tray in its class and a towing capacity of 3000kg, as well top safety features including traction control and dual front-andside thorax airbags and you’ve got a seriously impressive ute to get you in and out of any situation. Amarok comes with a class leading 8-speed automatic transmission. If cargo space is your first concern, look no further than the Volkswagen Crafter—a true warehouse on wheels with up to 17 cubic metres of space and a versatile range of cargo options to suit any job load required. With Euro 5 TDI engines, a choice between a Medium or Long Wheelbase and a complete swathe of Delivery Vans, Single Cabs and Dual Cabs available, there’s simply nothing about your business that the Crafter can’t handle. Something more compact in mind? How about Australia’s number one compact van, Volkswagen Caddy Van — complete with a host of class leading features, transmission options, as well as economical TSI and TDI engines. Take the TSI160, for example, which achieves fuel consumption figures from 6.9L/100km with a 5-speed manual transmission. Next step up is the TDI250, which, coupled with a 5-speed manual or 7-speed DSG transmission, achieves fuel efficiencies of 5.9L/100km. The Caddy Van handles more like a car than a van, perfect for navigating through busy city traffic or tight laneways and side streets. Caddy Van is available with up to 3.2m3 of cargo space, and a payload capacity of up to 780kg. For small businesses, there really is no substitute, granting superior performance, better fuel efficiency and a light carbon footprint. For something more versatile, there’s the original and legendary Volkswagen Transporter, which comes in Van, Crewvan and Cab Chassis body styles. Introduced more than 60 years ago, Transporter has won multiple international awards and still rates as one of the most popular commercial vehicles in the world. The Transporter is available in all shapes and sizes, with a range of cargo space and payload options and a selection of efficient TDI engines on hand.

BuildIT VIcTorIa 2014/15

Because your business is unique, the choice of a Short or Long Wheelbase means you have the ability to carry different sizes and quantities of stock. There are different roof sizes and load areas ranging from 5.8 to 9.3m3 and of course, there’s a wide choice of accessories and colour schemes to tailor your Transporter just the way you want it. Whatever your business means to you, the Transporter can be customised accordingly. Across the range, there’s no compromise on safety and comfort either. With seats that provide proper back-support, clear and clever instrumentation and an ergonomically shaped steering wheel, you’ll enjoy a responsive, smooth driving experience no matter what you choose. And as far as safety features go, driver and passenger airbags are standard along with ESP, ABS, EBD and Brake Assist. Add to this Volkswagen’s clever all-wheel drive system—4MOTION—and you can ensure a firm grip on the road, no matter what the conditions. There’s no question, it’s an exciting line up. And with Richmond, South Yarra, Port Melbourne and Ringwood soon available for all your service needs, the Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles team has business covered, Melbourne wide.

Polymaster A rainwater tank is a smart choice. With long range weather forecasters reporting the high possibilities of another El Nino bringing back droughts and government water restrictions, it makes sense to invest in a rainwater tank now. You can harvest as much rainwater as possible and use it throughout the house, for grey water and garden only, or rain catchment just for the garden. When you consider a typical four person house will go through about 650 litres per day, you can never have enough water.

A rainwater tank has lots of benefits. First and foremost, a rainwater tank saves you water and that saves you money. A tank also means you have extra water to keep gardens and lawns green and lush, wash cars, clean building surfaces, wash patios and driveways and top up swimming pools. Residential rainwater tanks can have community benefits too by supplementing a townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water supply, providing emergency fire fighting water, and reducing the chance of flooding by storing heavy rainfall.

State rebates like these help encourage water saving and relieve the huge problems storm water is creating on the current infrastructure. This rebate can only be claimed if the tank purchased is Certified to AS/NZS4766:2006.

The Polymaster Rainwater Tank Range Polymaster offers several styles of high quality, residential rainwater tanks to suit your needs and your budget: Slendaline tanks: These tanks are ideal to save space and water with a 2100l option that can be easily installed, offer clear access to the pump and can help you achieve a six star rating. Slendastyle tanks: Great looking solutions for urban water conservation, with 600l to 5000l options. Slendastyle tanks provide low profile water storage with maximum water volume for minimum size. Polychoice rainwater tanks: Available in five colours and 2000l to 22,500l options, Polychoice tanks provide a wide range of round tanks for urban and residential areas, as well as larger agricultural properties.

One more benefit: The Victorian water rebate. Installing a rainwater tank means you can take advantage of the current Victorian State Government water rebate of up to $1500 (4000 litre tank or greater and connected to toilet and laundry).

Deceuninck Australia The name Deceuninck has been synonymous with quality window systems for more than five decades. Originating from Belgium, Deceuninck now boast more than 3000 employees and operate manufacturing and distribution plants worldwide including Germany, Turkey, North America and beyond. Recognising the changing landscape of extreme UV exposure and increasingly stringent performance requirements, Deceuninck spread their presence from Europe to the more severe climatic regions well over 20 years ago. Being global leaders in extrusion technologies and window design, its no surprise that Deceuninck is now touted as the most tried and tested window for our harsh Australian conditions. Operating a substantial distribution centre in Melbourne, Deceuninck Australia supports a true consortium of professional local fabricators who service all states of Australia. Each fabrication partner is equipped with a comprehensive showroom and meeting areas to facilitate project discussions with builders, architects’ and end users. Product suitability for the Australian market is the key to Deceuninck Australia’s success. The range of doors and windows is comprehensive, including tilt’n’turn, awning, casement, sliding, triple stacking doors, entry doors, lift’n’slide doors and bi-folding

doors. Several colour options is an important factor as is the ability to accept many glazing options from single through to double and even triple. The real advantage however is its impressive thermal performance. The highly efficient, five chamber frame system performs to a staggering U-Value of 1.8 which drastically helps any building envelope reach its star rating. Deceuninck Australia continues to work closely with the Australian Window Association and the Vinyl Council of Australia, to ensure that Australian consumers consistently receive a high level of quality from the uPVC window industry. One of the most significant results of this collaboration is the creation of an Industry Code of Practice for the manufacture of uPVC windows in Australia. Also designed to properly inform the Australian consumer is the uPVC Window Alliance website. www.upvcwindows.org.au.
