RESOURCE GUIDE FOR BUILDERS & CONTRACTORS

et. au ac rs. n w. ww

WARNING > Does your Reo Mesh comply with Australian Standards? > Is your house slab, patio, extension and driveway and footpath built with the correct steel reinforcement?

> Does your supplier use Reo which has been accredited to comply with Australian Standards by an independent third party body?

HOW DO YOU MAKE SURE YOU HAVE QUALITY REO IN YOUR CONCRETE? > ACRS certification independently confirms the Standards compliance of the materials you are buying > Ask for proof that the mesh you are supplied complies with AS/NZS4671 Steel Reinforcing Materials > The easiest way to check this is ask to see your supplier’s ACRS certificate.

The Australian Certification Authority for Reinforcing Steels is an independent third party assessment body which checks Reo for Standards compliance.

It tests both the steel supplied by the steel mills in Australia and overseas to Australian reinforcing mesh manufacturers, and the finished rebar and reomesh products delivered to builders and concreters.

Not all reo and mesh meets Australian Standards. Materials are sourced widely in Australia and overseas, and manufactured to all kinds of Standards, even no Standards, so you need to check what you are getting! > Many builders don’t consider the effects of non-compliant materials. This is where an otherwise good project can end in tears. Extensive cracking in walls and floors, visible damage, poor resale, etc. > Unless the steel reinforcement meets the design criteria set out in Australian Standards the results can be dire.

The steel reinforcement provides the strength that prevents structures from breaking up or even falling down. > Every housebuilder and concreter must comply with the Building Code of Australia (BCA). The worst thing you can do is to fail to meet the requirements of the BCA. Your work might have to be ripped up and redone.

If you only judge products on price, you may not be getting what you pay for!

AUSTRALIAN CERTIFICATION AUTHORITY FOR REINFORCING STEELS LIMITED

master Builders Foreword Welcome to the latest edition of BuildIT Victoria As the building industry shifts once again with the conclusion of many government stimulus packages, many businesses will be looking for an edge to streamline their business activities.

This latest edition of BuildIT can help you achieve this goal by providing a quick reference to a special product or solution for the technical questions and business challenges you face each day.

Master Builders have come to rely on this annual publication as the first place to look for building products, suppliers, materials, subcontractors and consultants.

This year’s edition, the eleventh since its inception, has a special focus on products and services which will assist members with the transition from Five Star to Six Star Energy Rating which came into effect on 1 May. As the economy continues to ride a rollercoaster of change, placing more and more demands on business, I recommend you use this guide to compliment the many benefits you can access with your Master Builders membership.

LoBByIng As Victoria’s peak industry body for the building and construction sector, the Master Builders Association is your voice on all Government matters. Our well-connected lobbyists advise Government bodies on all legislation that may affect our industry. Guided by your interests, they have the potential to influence laws and regulations that shape the way you work.

Conditions recently have been challenging for many builders. The Association has helped shield the industry from the worst of the downturn by calling for stimulus measures such as Home Buyers Grants and the Building the Education Revolution (BER).

We have also secured a number of reforms to the State’s dysfunctional planning system, successfully lobbying for the creation of the State Government’s Development Facilitation Unit which advises on projects bogged-down in local planning.

Following the tragic 2009 Black Saturday bushfires, the Association worked closely with the Government in developing building and native vegetation regulations, as well as having input on the Bushfire Royal Commission.

It is our aim to consistently achieve outcomes which make the building industry fairer, stronger, safer and more profitable. Our ongoing involvement and input with Government and Industry bodies includes: • Australian Uniform Building Regulations Committee • Building Advisory Council • Building Industry Consultative Committee • Building Practitioners Board • Building Regulations Advisory Committee • Building Services Agency Advisory Board • CBus

• Co-Invest • Commercial / Industrial Enterprise Training Advisory Board • Incolink • Standards Australia • Victorian Congress of Employers Association • WorkCover and WorkSafe committees Let us know the issues that affect your business and allow the Association to be your voice to Government and Key Forums.

ALInK There are about 3000 apprentices starting their training in Victoria each year but about half of them will not finish. With this in mind, Master Builders has created a new initiative to help link apprentices with the industry. ALink provides apprentices with the tools and information they need to get ahead in their careers.

This ‘link’ between apprentices and the industry has been dubbed ‘the apprentice’s new best friend’ because it is a place where apprentices can turn for everything they need to get ahead in their careers. To our knowledge, no other industry group has invested the time and money into supporting apprentices that we plan to with ALink.

When joining ALink, all apprentices receive a free 12 month student membership with Master Builders entitling them to wage advice, career advice and discounts on tools, cars and fuel. Apprentices will also have a dedicated website – www.alink.org.au – which will feature up to date information on apprentice awards, government grants, scholarships and trade events.

australian institute of arcHitects victorian cHapter MasTer BUILDers

THe AusTrALIAn InsTITuTe oF ArCHITeCTs VICTorIAn CHAPTer The Australian Institute of Architects is a national body consisting of over 10,000 members across Australia and overseas. The Institute exists to advance the interests of members, their professional standards and contemporary practice, and expand and advocate the value of architects and architecture to the sustainable growth of our community, economy and culture.

Formed in 1930 with the amalgamation of state architectural institutes to form a unified national association, the Institute aims to: • Advance architecture; • Maintain the integrity and standing of the profession; • Promote the profession’s views nationally and internationally; and, • Encourage the study of architecture.

Today the Institute has evolved into a dynamic and progressive national organisation with active programs in many areas relating to the architectural profession.

The Institute offers a wide range of services to its members. Knowledge Services keeps members up-to-date with the latest ideas, technology and trends in architecture by providing detailed advice including practice, law, cautionary and client notes, and coordinating an extensive Continuing Professional Development (CPD) program at both national and state levels. Training is provided through event based seminars and an accessible online training resource; www.continuum.com.au.

Our members receive Australia’s premier architectural magazine, Architecture Australia, as well as chapter bulletins and other publications.

The Australian Institute of Architects has established the highest professional standards. As well as undertaking CPD members are expected to behave in accordance with our Code of Professional Conduct. As a result they are both better informed and more up-to-date on all matters architectural.

By promoting better, responsible and environmental design, the Institute actively lobbies to maintain and improve the quality of our built environment. Raising design standards in our cities, urban areas and commercial and residential buildings, architects and the Institute have a major role in shaping Australia’s future.

In answer to growing environmental concerns within society, the Institute produces the Environment Design Guide. Impeccably researched and presented, this service offers quarterly supplements containing articles on all aspects of design in order to develop projects which are ecologically sustainable.

As a further service to our members, the Institute conducts research on relevant issues such as market conditions, staffing levels and practice operating costs. By analysing the results, the Institute is able to monitor issues which affect its members and provide informed advice.

Tiled Showers Made Easy A new solution from Atlantis removes the challenge of fitting a channel drain into a timber floor, or into any flooring structure where there are unacceptable risks of water leakage.

The one-piece Linea Quattro tile-over shower base and integrated channel drain is designed to achieve a level-access shower floor – in most cases without the need for cutting into the joists.

Moulded from rigid GRP composite, the Linea Quattro shower base is already 100 percent waterproof, comes in multiple sizes for common showering spaces, and fits easily into an existing floor cavity once the surface flooring is removed.

Not having to separately form and screed the shower floor saves time and money, not to mention a major headache, for most builders. And it also takes care of waterproofing in the most critical risk area of the shower.

Once fitted the shower base is immediately ready to tile.

Because the drain is located discreetly at the side or back, tiling is a breeze and opens up the option for using larger format tiles which can be fixed in a single plane. No more unsightly cuts to the centre and fewer grout lines make a much cleaner finish for the shower floor.

Atlantis is so confident of the durability of its one-piece shower base that it offers a 25-year warranty against leaks – a performance guarantee unheard of elsewhere.

The benefits of the Atlantis system do not stop with the shower base. In keeping with its reputation for bulletproof integrity, addon components will guarantee the structure and waterproofing of the entire shower area. Atlantis offers 2120mm high frameless screen options in a choice of sliding door, hinged door or fixed panel (walk-in) configurations. By purchasing the system as a base and screen package, it is possible to create a stunning new frameless shower in a matter of hours.

Bricks

Not just another brick in the wall New Brickwork Manual offers a guide to creating successful brick structures

Think Brick’s new industry standard Brickwork Manual is designed to make choosing, working, and building with bricks easy. A rock solid manual for a rock solid industry, it is designed to assist builders to navigate new products and new methods of working with clay bricks, promising to be an indispensable guide to industry.

The Brickwork Manual offers technical information in an easy to understand format alongside helpful tips to guide you through a client job from start to finish. It covers everything you need to know to make your project flow smoothly, including logically working through brick selection, site preparation, bricklaying, and brick cleaning.

For instance, did you know that there are three crucial aspects to a good wall: correct brick selection, skillful bricklaying, and appropriate brick cleaning. Arming yourself with knowledge is key as different bricks may require different mortar and preparation.

The manual guides you through each process step by step.

Customer expectations are another important element covered by the manual. Helping a customer to visualise the end result

means you’re halfway to completing an effective project.

A clever checklist is also provided to help you work through the main elements of building with brick to ensure best practice and a successful outcome.

Clay brick is one of the most popular choices for Australian homes due to its superior strength, quality, impressive colour, and low maintenance. Brick homes are warmer in winter, cooler in summer and quieter all year round. More than 16 million bricks are produced annually in this country, and the industry employs 30,000 people, from manufacturing to installation.

Think Brick Australia represents the Australian brick industry and is committed to bringing together architects, builders, and bricklayers to ensure clay brick construction remains at the forefront of modern design for many years to come.

ECODAILY a good fit for the crew IVECO’s light-duty ECODAILYs transport PC Welding’s crew and equipment across Victoria’s state-wide rail network repairing damaged and worn infrastructure in comfort.

“We pile five of our maintenance crew, plus their bags and tuckerboxes into each of our two ECODAILY dual cabs and head to any railway site around Victoria in comfort,” says PC Welding’s, Phil Winder. “We have 14 trucks in the fleet and the guys only want to drive the DAILYs. “These trucks are the best of both worlds – they handle carrying three-tonnes of equipment with ease and tow a loaded trailer to boot – yet they are just like driving a motor car. The guys travel in air-conditioned climate control comfort with space to stretch out in the roomy cab – sometimes two hundred kilometres or more to a job. They just set the cruise control, the interior noise level is extremely low and they can talk to each other as if they were in the office – well I suppose they are in their mobile office.”

PC Welding repair and replace VicRail’s bridges, rail crossings, stations and steel infrastructure throughout Melbourne metro and country Victoria. They also attend accidents to repair the damage – so their trucks are on-call around the clock. Therefore they must be reliable and ready to go at the turn of the key.

Getting on board The ECODAILY dual cab range accommodates up to seven burley crew (including the driver) and is available with a Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) between 4.495 and 6.8-tonnes, the chassis rails are clean, free from rivets and bolts, at the point of body contact. There’s also a choice of wheelbase lengths, making it versatile enough for most transport tasks – a refrigerated or dry van, roadside service unit, flat tray top with drop sides or tipper application, ECODAILY ticks all the boxes.

PC Welding’s model is a 65C18D dual cab and has a 6300kg GVM, giving it a payload including the body of 3790kg, with added towing capacity of 3500kg.

Power is via IVECO’s FIC three-litre four-cylinder diesel engine with direct injection and a variable geometry turbocharger (VGT) and intercooler. It pumps out 130kW (176hp) @ 3200 – 3500rpm and 400Nm (295lb/ft) of torque on a broad rev range from 1250 to 3000rpm.

ECODAILY has an enviable reputation for delivering excellent fuel economy – this combined with its 40,000km service intervals, significantly reduces running costs.

There’s a choice of a conventional six-speed manual or AGile automated transmissions. The optional AGile six-speed automated transmission shifts automatically when driven in auto mode, or can be shifted manually by the short dash mounted gearlever and driven as a conventional manual transmission if required.

An automated transmission is not fluid driven like an automatic transmission – it has gears the same as a conventional manual that are shifted electronically dependent on engine load. It has a conventional clutch system that is also electronically operated and works in harmony with the gear selection process.

Safety and security

Apart from driver’s air bag, cruise control, remote central locking and an engine immobiliser, IVECO’s ECODAILY offers a comprehensive array of safety equipment – both standard fare and optional.

The all-round disc brake system has ABS that is equipped with Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD) that distributes braking forces between front and rear axles. There’s also an anti-slip device that acts on engine speed and the braking system. A program that governs individual wheel brakes to reduce engine revolutions if the vehicle becomes unstable. There’s Brake Assist that increases braking pressure when it senses emergency braking. A Hill Holder, which acts on the brakes to hold the vehicle steady during uphill lift off. While Load Adaptive Control recognises the horizontal distribution of the load being transported.

Who is IVECO? IVECO Australia’s manufacturing base in Dandenong, Victoria was commissioned in 1952 under the International Harvester brand name and has produced more than 200,000 trucks and bus chassis. The Dandenong plant represents a major investment in the local truck and bus industry and employs more than 600 Australians.

commercial vehicles

All-New BT-50 to raise the utility bar An all-new version of the versatile and tough Mazda BT-50 is due later this year.

Since its introduction in 2006 the Mazda BT-50 has become one of Australia’s most popular light commercial vehicles. With a choice of powerful common-rail diesel engines matched to 4x2 or 4x4 drivetrains and competitive towing and loading ability it has become the perfect companion for both tradespersons and professionals alike.

Mazda realises that every utility buyer has different needs.

For some, a larger tray with an increased carrying capacity is what’s important while for others the ability to carry additional passengers is more important. Whichever camp you fall into, the Mazda BT-50 offers a body style solution to fit offering Single Cab, Freestyle Cab and Dual Cab variants.

With the introduction of the All-New BT-50 later this year, Mazda is set to shake up the utility segment and offer a light commercial the likes of which has never been seen before. Not only will the All-New Mazda BT-50 take performance to new heights but a completely new exterior and interior design will provide a look that sets it apart from other utilities.

Details of the powertrain line-up for the All-New BT-50 demonstrate that it will be one of the most powerful utilities ever to hit Australian showrooms. Two new advanced diesel engines, both offering significant increases in power and torque with improved fuel efficiency, will ensure the All-New Mazda BT-50 has the grunt to handle even the toughest tasks.

The headline act for the All-New BT-50 range is the new MZ-CD 3.2 litre diesel engine, in-line 5-cylinder configuration, delivering a massive 470Nm of torque and 147kW of power. This represents a 24 per cent increase in torque while power is up by 28 per cent over the current BT-50’s 3.0 litre diesel engine.

The adoption of a new high-pressure fuel system combined with advanced turbocharging ensures the 3.2 litre diesel engine delivers a more refined and responsive drive. These refinements also help to ensure that the new MZ-CD 3.2 litre diesel will be more fuel efficient than the 3.0 litre diesel engine it replaces.

The new 3.2 litre engine will be mated to a choice of new sixspeed transmissions, in either manual or automatic guise. Both new transmissions have been developed to exhibit low levels of noise, vibration and harshness making for a smoother and quieter ride.

Also joining the All-New BT-50 line-up is a new MZ-CD 2.2 litre diesel engine which has been designed to further improve efficiency while delivering an impressive 375 Nm of torque and 110 kW of power. When compared with the current BT-50’s 2.5

litre diesel engine, this represents a 14 per cent increase in torque and a 5 per cent increase in power. Fuel economy is also improved.

Both new powertrains have been developed to ensure the All-New BT-50 delivers towing capacities never before seen on this type of vehicle. The 3.2 litre engine with either manual or automatic transmission will be capable of towing up to a huge 3,350kg, delivering a 350kg increase over the current model.

The 2.2 litre engine offers a highly competitive 2,500kg maximum towing capacity, an increase of 250kg over the current 2.5 litre model. The exterior design features crisp lines and an imposing presence that indicates reliability. The athletic and individual design gives the All-New BT-50 an overwhelming presence that will turn heads and make it instantly recognizable.

The cockpit is designed to wrap around the driver and provide an environment that supports enthusiastic driving while raising the expectations of a sporty and responsive driving experience that goes beyond any conventional utility.

Smooth flowing lines throughout the cabin provide a look never before seen on a utility while the dashboard has been designed to create optimal space for driver and passengers alike. An enhanced instrument panel offers improved readability of the meters while all controls and switches have been developed to be both comfortable and intuitive to use.

garages/sheds

Leading shed group helps builders add value Totalspan can make it easy for builders, architects, engineers and specifiers to provide their clients with extra, secure space and added value.

Totalspan offers a range of premium garages, carports, barns, rural, commercial and industrial buildings. Hundreds of standard designs are offered in a wide range of colours and with a wide range of options. The buildings and a complete,‘go to whoa’ building service are available in most Victorian regions through Totalspan’s national franchisee network. Totalspan franchisees have the expertise required to be reliable and valuable partners in any building project.

Totalspan is a part of the Verstile Buildings group, a company with a 35-year heritage and the largest manufacturers of steel buildings in Australia and New Zealand, All Totalspan buildings exceed Australian design code requirements. The structural members in Totalspan portal buildings are unique. The ‘C’ section used in Totalspan portal frames is world-patented and is, on average, 10 percent stronger than standard, commercially available ‘C’ sections used in the garage industry.

The wall and roof sheeting, available in Zincalume or Colorbond, is wider than the industry standard, resulting in fewer joints and

faster erection times. Another design advantage is that Totalspan purlins and girts fix into the sides of the portal frame with preformed brackets. This allows the frame sit flush with the cladding, for greater strength, and more usable internal space. It also minimises bird and rodent nesting.

Most Totalspan products are a fully bolted portal design, backed by a 25-year structural warranty. All portal building components, including wall and roof cladding, flashings, roller doors, are manufactured in-house using only quality Australian BlueScope steel. All Totalspan products are designed and produced at the company’s state-of-the-art manufacturing and distribution plant at Crestmead near Brisbane.

fireplaces

Heat large areas whilst having a minimal impact on the hip pocket Real Flame is proud to announce the launch of two brand new products in May to add to their already impressive range of gas log fires.

Real Flame have long been the leaders in gas fireplace technology in Australia and these new additions continue to support that claim.

The high efficiency Captiva range of direct vent glass fronted space heaters has been bolstered by a new member of the family, the Captiva Island. This impressive looking fire can be installed into a frame out as a two sided glass fronted fire, or installed in an island application with three glass sides. As is the case with the Captiva 600 and 900 models, the new Island will be a star rated direct vent fire with full remote control function, electronic ignition, modulating burner, auto two speed fan and available in black or stainless steel finishes.

The other new products to be released are the new Landscape 1000 and 1600. These fires will also use direct vent technology and will also be star rated. Both units will include full remote

function, electronic ignition, modulating burner and auto two speed fans and as is the case with all Real Flame glass fronted fires, they will carry an impressive star rating.

Having no ceramics, the burners in the Landscape range both have a beautiful laser cut burner for a clean simplistic flame pattern which will enhance any residential or commercial environment.

All three fires will be able to heat large areas whilst having a minimal impact on the hip pocket!

City roof top garden blown away!

WeBlow has the exciting challenge to blow landscaping material 16 floors up to a Greenroof installation in Flinders Street.

Late 2010 WeBlow was approached by Landspace Constructions to install 36 cubic metres of premium grade potting mix onto the 16th floor of the newly refurbished SKM office. They were presented with an interesting mix of challenges to complete this job. Due to the limitations of inner city traffic, trams and pedestrians the use of a crane was prohibitive, as was the option of carrying 1296 30kg bags up the goods lift! WeBlow were able to offer the innovative solution of blowing the product up to the rooftop without impacting the new offices and with little impact to busy Flinders Street.

The challenge of blowing product 16 floors high was new to WeBlow. Although having worked on many multi level gardens, to go to this level was a first. Paul Jennings, the Managing Director of WeBlow, was confident that WeBlow’s trucks and crew could achieve this.

With precise co-ordination WeBlow was able to run hoses up the outside of the building, blow in the 36 cubic metres of product, clean up and leave the site within nine hours! We were able to co-ordinate the trucks to literally drop the hose for the next truck to pull up and continue blowing. Plants and irrigation were installed

while the product was being blown in which meant the job was finished before schedule.

GAN Lighting – the true economic solution Promising, and now achieving significant advantages over Halogen lamps, LED based bulbs, downlights and spotlights deliver a cost effective alternative.

LED lighting is set to make serious inroads into the domestic lighting market in Australia. The availability of high flux models at attractive retail prices, which have now overthrown the long held mantle that they are an “overpriced alternative”, makes LED lighting a real contender.

Government initiatives on climate change also threaten to deliver a significant increase in the cost of electricity. Based on the ‘cost of power’ figures published in a recently released report by the Australian Industry Group, the payback period for exchanging traditional halogen downlights for equivalent LED bulbs, can be as short as three years on present day costs. Australian Industry Group predicts a future power cost which reduces the pay back to little more than one year, on a normal domestic daily cycle.

Couple this to the conservative expectation of a lifetime exceeding 20,000 hours of operation, than the average domestic LED bulb on a four hour daily cycle delivers 14 years of faithful service. This gives the LED alternative an incomparable advantage on a ‘cost of ownership’ basis.

Arlec is about to release a complete range of LEDNIUM LED BULBs, commencing with candle lamps featuring 1 watt of LED power through downlights to well muscled recessed luminaires with 20 watts of LEDs. The features available present an extensive range of possibilities. Options include all the normal lamp caps, colour effects from warm, at Correlated Colour Temperature (CCT) of 2800K, through daylight to stark cool light at 6000K. Larger downlights are hard-wired style with external drivers, however all 240 volt bulbs and downlights are self-ballasted with the LED driver packaged within the bulb. The range is to be augmented by an option to select dimmable lamps.

For more information contact: Phone: (03) 9727 8777 Fax: 1300 360 650 Website: www.arlec.com.au

The true economic solution • LED lighting leads the way into the domestic lighting market in Australia.

• Arlec’s complete range of GAN LED Bulbs feature 1W LED power candle lamps, downlights and right through to the super bright 20W recessed luminaires LEDs. • Gimball lighting gives you the flexibility to direct your light into any angle of the room.

pest control/termite Barriers

Termite protection: how to protect your building A CSIRO termite study found 44,000 homes in Melbourne with termite infestation in just nine months.

Annual repair cost of termite damaged timber in Victoria has been estimated at $700 million. More Council Municipalities will become termite declared areas in the future as 22,000 infestations were reported in undeclared areas during the nine month CSIRO survey. Banyule City Council was declared in April 2005, City of Whitehorse in January 2006 and Frankston City Council in April 2007. Out of 79 Councils in Victoria this makes 16 declared and 15 undeclared in Metro Melbourne. Many new buildings are still being built in known termite areas, but not termite declared by Councils. These new homes are unprotected!

Exopest can assist builders, architects and developers to find out if they are building in a high risk termite area, plan a termite management program and comply with all relevant Australian Standards AS 3660.1-2000. Exopest has over 30 years experience in the building industry, specialising in termite management, installation and inspections.

New buildings: Exopest installs ‘HomeGuard’ Precision Termite Management System. Australian made and manufactured, HomeGuard gives the builder a pro-active termite barrier system that stops termites entering the building by killing them on contact or by repelling them. Backed by a 25 year warranty

certificate, HomeGuard is designed to last the life of the building, is easy to install, and comes in a range of products: HomeGuard TMB (complies with AS 2870 Moisture Barrier) full under slab; HomeGuard Blue for slab rebates; HomeGuard Collars for slab Penetrations; HomeGuard Termite Caps for suspended timber floors on stumps and now HomeGuard GT granules for rebates, slab cut outs etc. • GreenSmart (HIA) • Eco Specified • CodeMark Certification BCA. Existing buildings: Termite soil treatments using water based emulsions with no odour, vapours; allowing minimal down time on site. Soil treatments last up to 10 years and comply with all Local Government Building requirements. Soil treatments are cost effective and easy to install. Products include Biflex, Premise and Termidor. Where access is limited or on a concrete slab we use our termite baiting and interception system called ‘termEsafe’.

pavers

Concrete pavers…the natural and economical choice Concrete has been used in building since the dawn of civilisation – over 5,000 years, from the time of the Egyptian pyramids to present day decorative concrete developments - including architecture, infrastructure and much more.

Cement and concrete are vital components in building construction today. Concrete has many environmental advantages, including durability, longevity, heat storage capability, and (in general) chemical inertness.

At Premier Pavers, our pre-cast concrete pavers are made from sand, gravel, pebbles and grey cement. The natural raw materials we use are non-toxic, inexpensive and cost effective compared with that of other paving materials. The visual effect is elegant, similar to stone paving, and yet concrete pavers cost little more than poured concrete.

Our pavers are an ideal choice for residential applications such as outdoor entertaining areas, pool surrounds, driveways, garden pathways and terraces; and are also well suited to commercial use in malls, plazas, building forecourts and outdoor café or restaurant areas. Manufactured with a slip resistant surface, Premier’s precast pavers can be safely used for foot traffic in wet areas and on driveways for vehicle use.

Primarily produced in natural colours similar to naturally occurring materials such as clay, granite or sandstone, the earthy tones of our concrete pavers harmonise with any décor, blending naturally into the landscape and creating an elegant and functional surface. The colour pigment is consistent throughout the paver and so is inherently fade resistant.

Versatility comes naturally with concrete pavers as they can be created in a variety of sizes, allowing the designer a high level of customization to cater for specific design requirements.

The various sizes and shapes available allow for many different patterns in the laying of the pavers, herringbone, basket weave, cobblestone and more. You might select more than one colour to create a pattern on a large area or combine pavers with natural stone or pebbles for subtle design effects.

Premier’s pre-cast pavers are priced to defy competition. They add a visual appeal far superior to poured concrete and replicate the beauty of any stone material such as sandstone or granite at a fraction of the cost. Our pavers improve the appearance or function of their surroundings and are an investment which adds value to any property.

Pre-cast concrete is non-combustible and will not lose its structural capacity. Strength and durability are intrinsic qualities of Premier’s pre-cast pavers due to our unique manufacturing process and rigorous quality control. Our pavers are much stronger than many other paving materials, including asphalt and poured concrete. They are saltwater and chlorine safe, ideal for pool surrounds and can withstand all types of extreme weather conditions. Strong and durable, they will last a lifetime.

There is usually no need to lay concrete pavers on a slab, except in the case of driveways. They are quite stable if laid on a bed of crushed rock or sand, forming a firm but flexible surface. By following basic guidelines, owner builders can lay the pavers themselves, saving even more. When correctly laid,

pavers have a very long and durable life span. For the best results and guaranteed work, use a qualified tradesperson, but it is not difficult to lay the pavers yourself providing you have the right advice and information for your particular situation. Most commonly the pavers are laid on a base of sand over a correctly prepared subgrade. The only equipment that may be required is a roller or rammer to compact the subgrade. A beautiful finish can be easily achieved, adding style and value to your home or project.

Maintenance of your concrete pavers is relatively simple. In most situations they can be kept clean by sweeping and occasional washing down with plain water. In the case of tough stains, such as oil on a driveway, they can be cleaned by pressure washing or with a cleaning solvent on the affected area. They return to as-new condition. Damage to any area of paving can be invisibly repaired by lifting the pavers, readjusting the base, replacing the same pavers and re-grouting.

With over 25 years’ experience in producing quality concrete pavers, the team at Premier Pavers has developed a range of colours and sizes to suit almost any application. Pavers are available in square edge and bullnose - and we can make to measure, or create colours to match your exact requirements.

Premier Pavers’ manufacturing process creates a superb non-slip surface, or you can choose our peerless shot-blasted textured aggregate finish.

Premier Pavers’ staff will assist you in ordering the correct sizes and quantity for your project and can also advise you on the best method of installation for your particular situation. The team at Premier Pavers takes pride in prompt delivery from ordering so your project can be completed on time.

Cut DEWALT deep A tradie must-have, DEWALT’s powerful 305mm Compound Slide Mitre Saw (DW718-XE) has the heavy duty feel wrapped up in a compact and lightweight design. Packing all the grunt expected from DEWALT tools, this innovative mitre saw effortlessly produces a clean cut from the finer odd jobs to the tougher applications onsite.

Lugging a mitre saw around the worksite is not an enjoyable task for any tradie. The design characteristics of this mitre saw make it easily portable around the jobsite without taking away any of its enormous cutting capacity.

The 305mm blade cuts through material at 3400rpm, powered by a 1600watt belt driven motor. Its cam action mitre lock function enables for faster mitre setting, with quick adjustment of angles between 0-60 degrees left and 0-50 degrees right.

The dual sliding fence provides maximum support in large material cuts at any angle, the linear horizontal rails providing optimal precision.

The new quick release bevel setting provides great simplicity when setting bevel angles up to 48 degrees both left and right.

Versatility is key with a massive 163mm depth of cut, facilitating the capacity to cut skirting boards or mouldings the DW718’s innovative grooving stop.

DEWALT 18V essentials Tools durable enough to outlive a day-to-day thrashing on the worksite can be hard to come by. DEWALT’s range of power tools provide a less laborious alternative, yet are still guaranteed tough!

Selecting the right type of tool for a job is key to maintaining an efficient and productive worksite. Daniel Lawlor, marketing manager for DeWalt, says that power drills and drivers have a range of applications, but it’s important to be aware of factors such as size, weight, voltage and durability when choosing the tools of your trade.

“DEWALT’s 18V range is designed for heavy duty construction jobs. They’re durable, designed to last from job to job, helping to keep your costs down.

“All our tools are developed with ease of use and safety in mind, helping you get the job done, and done right,” Mr Lawlor said.

The frameless high speed motor and all metal gearing of DEWALT’s 18V Lithium Ion Compact Impact Driver (DC827KL), provides effective power transmission, loosening and tightening nuts and bolts around the site with maximum efficiency. Tricky tight spots areas are now more easily accessible thanks to this driver’s compact body and built in LED work light for increased visibility. Greater control is now provided when setting and removing fasteners with the improved variable speed switch

and electronic motor brake. With a 6.35mm keyless hex-drive, bit change is quick and easy, and user fatigue is buffered by the rubber coated grip to reduce surface vibration when in use.

Delivering a powerful hammer blow, the 18V Rotary Hammer (DC213N-XE) will get jobs such as drilling anchors and fixing holes into concrete, brick and masonry finished in no time. It offers three mode functions including drilling, hammer drilling and chiselling with stop rotation mode. The rear mounted battery ensures excellent balance, while the active vibration control reduces vibration without any reduction in performance. This drill is ideal for drilling anchors and fixing holes into concrete, brick and masonry, this hammer’s efficient and compact gearbox offers a longer runtime without compromising power.

The 18V Hammer Drill/ Driver (DCD970KL-XE) is cleverly designed for optimum balance, comfort and control on jobs such as drilling into concrete, masonry and stone. The patented three speed transmission ensures faster application speed, thirty per cent longer run time and offers durability on a wide range of materials, including steel. The self tightening chuck provides double the bit holding strength when drilling into all metals whilst the LED work light ensures increased productivity in dark areas.The dual collar design allows for mode change without shifting clutch settings.

Lithium Ion battery packs provides backwards capability and longer charge.

Partiwall passes the real life fire test On a quiet Sunday morning, arsonists set fire to a town house under construction in Melbourne.

The row of town houses used Boral Partiwall® with 60 minute fire rating as the separating wall between the units.

It was some 90 minutes before the fire was fully extinguished and the system performed very well, protecting the units on both sides. While there was some minor fire and water damage to the unit on one side, the unit on the other side was undamaged.

The simplicity of the Partiwall® system has enabled the builder to restore the destroyed unit, which was due to be completed and handed over within a few weeks, with a minimum of fuss.

Since its introduction over 10 years ago, the pioneering Partiwall® system has been embraced by designers and builders of multi-unit developments all around Australia. The simplicity, flexibility and speed of construction made Partiwall® a system of choice on many large and small multi-residential projects.

Over the years, Partiwall® has evolved to meet changing customer expectations and regulatory requirements. Today the Partiwall® represents a range of separating wall system providing various levels of fire and acoustic isolation and design solutions to suit a variety of building types and configurations.

retaining walls

Make sure your retaining wall is Code compliant Having had considerable exposure throughout the years on many and varied sites with the requirements for retaining wall systems, Concrib Constructions understands that sourcing a suitable earth-stabilisation solution can be a real challenge to the client.

Timber retaining wall systems, which are adopted on many sites in Victoria, do not meet with the requirements of Australian Standards simply due to the nature of timber. AS4678-2002 on Earth Retaining Structures sets out requirements and recommendations relating to design life and durability of materials used to retain soil, rock etc.

The Code nominates design life (years) of earth retaining structures for various types of works – e.g.: 30 years for industrial structures and 60 years for residential dwellings. This virtually rules out the use of hardwood or treated-pine timber retaining walls since the best that can be achieved with Class 1 durability timber and H5 CCA treatment is in the order of 25 years.

Due to the nature of timber deterioration in timber sleepers, warping, cracking and shrinkage may and do occur with many timber retaining wall systems. Ongoing maintenance and replacement cost, therefore, is significant in the long run.

It would seem to be an appropriate time for all builders,

designers and authorities to reassess their views in respect to concrete retaining wall systems. As a civil engineering contractor, specialising in the manufacture, design, supply and construction of retaining wall systems for over 20 years, Concrib Constructions offers unique products and systems. They are engineer designed, tested and then manufactured to their respective standards, assuring that compliance to AS4678 is met.

Compared with timber concrete retaining walls look good, last a lifetime, never rot and require little or no maintenance. Concrib Constructions also offers a FREE consultation service that helps the client to choose the BEST earth stabilisation solution for their project.

steel

What is ACRS? Not all steel used on building sites meets Australian Standards. The Australian Certification Authority for Reinforcing Steels (ACRS) assesses and certifies steel reinforcing bar, wire and mesh and prestressing wire, strand and bar supplied to the Australian construction industry that meets Australian Standards.

ACRS monitors manufacture and processing ACRS certifies the two legs of materials supply: manufacture AND processing. Both of these are essential for materials claiming to be Standards-compliant. It is no good having great steel then ruining it with poor processing – it won’t meet Standards and could critically affect the quality of your building work.

ACRS gives you more choice ACRS certifies not just Australian suppliers, but also world-class, overseas manufacturers, giving Australian and international purchasers the widest choice of products. ACRS certifies manufacturers in Asia, Europe and Africa.

ACRS reduces your risks More and more specifiers, designers and builders recognise ACRS as the simplest and most transparent means of ensuring that the materials supplied into their projects are the ones they expect and have paid for. Simplicity and transparency raise confidence right across the supply-chain.

ACRS allows simple comparisons You do not need to make any further checks on supplied materials beyond checking the supplier’s ACRS certification: No more checking materials properties against technical specifications; no more checking batch numbers against the test certificates. The bottom line is, with ACRS it’s easy for your suppliers and it’s easy for you.

Does your steel have the ACRS logo?

HomeGuard DPC Sheeting serves a dual purpose both as a termite barrier and as a Building Code of Australia compliant moisture barrier, thereby reducing cost. For a flexible, costeffective termite control solution, you simply won’t find better.

HomeGuard will not corrode, split or delaminate like other physical barriers and is manufactured from materials designed to last the life of the building.

The HomeGuard System is both user and environmentally friendly, is non-sensitising and requires no special safety

equipment when it is installed. HomeGuard stays where it is placed, is sealed within the structure of the building and will not affect your clients, their pets or any aspect of the built environment.

Australian made HomeGuard has CodeMark, BCA approval and HIA Greensmart status.

All this makes HomeGuard the preferred choice for many of Australia’s leading builders. Insist on the best, insist on HomeGuard.

toilet & washroom equipment/service

Portaloo company cleans up A portable loo supplier, which has made it onto the prestigious BRW Fast Starters list two years in a row and grown 45 percent in the last year alone, attributes its success to one simple fact – it keeps its toilets cleaner than the competition.

Jim Noort started Viking Rentals in 2005 after undertaking a home renovation project and listening to the onsite builders complain about the state of the toilets. When he asked about it he was told they were always terrible, never cleaned and that every hire company was the same.

An entrepreneur by nature, Jim realised there was an opportunity in the market – not with the huge construction companies that didn’t have to use the toilets they hired for their sites, but with the smaller builders who shared the same facilities as their labourers. From a humble start with eight toilets and one truck, which Jim drove himself for the first year, Viking Rentals now has a fleet of 3,800 toilets and 20 trucks. The company has expanded from its Brisbane headquarters to service Melbourne, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and Ipswich, and employs 24 people.

This rapid expansion has been achieved through a series of acquisitions and by organic growth. Viking Rentals has defied every mention of an economic downturn and Jim Noort says there is still a lot of capacity to grow.

TOILET RENTAL INTRO OFFER!

3.30 PER DAY

“Even when the construction market was slowing down, we were still busy. Whenever we ask for client feedback it’s always the same, they don’t want to use filthy dunnies and ours are always clean so we’re the first choice,” Jim said. “That’s why Viking’s slogan is Dunnies with Dignity.” Although Viking Rentals does have a few large clients, 80 percent of the company’s customers still fall into the smaller builder category – typically taking on three or four projects per year, with the owner/manager always onsite to supervise. Even when times are tough, these smaller business are still picking up work because Australia still has an undersupply of housing,” Jim explained.

“We like dealing with them because it’s easy to build a good relationship and share a joke – which is essential when you do the work we do.”

water tanks

Onsite water storage made easy Councils and state governments are requiring residential and commercial buildings to have water storage tanks installed. Selecting the right product for the application is essential.

Water storage tanks are now required to be installed by local councils with the construction of new dwellings and commercial buildings and for the renovation of existing buildings. The plumbing and building industry are installing most of these tanks and there is a need to ensure the right tank is installed for the right application.

This requirement for tanks is driven by government authorities requiring the storage of water that falls on site. This water storage maybe permanent or temporally so storm water runoff is released slowly into the system.

Tank Accessories Once the storage tank is selected then there will be a need to ensure the correct accessories are included such as leaf diverters and first flush units or the client may want a pump included. Pump selection depends on the application and many residential clients will require an automatic change over device such as the Bianco Rainsaver. The tank, pump and accessories can be supplied as a package to make the installation of the system simpler and faster.

Bushman Tanks Tank Selection When selecting a tank there is a need to consider the roof area and hard surfaces including paths and driveways, the estimation of annual rainfall and the intensity of rain during storm periods.

These factors will determine the size, location and type of tank required. For example many older buildings may require multiple tanks as storm water exits the site from numerous locations. In areas where there are few but more intense rain periods there will be a requirement for larger storage capacity. Bushmans can help you through this process to ensure the right product is selected.

Bushman Tanks have been manufacturing tanks since 1989 and have the experience and expertise to ensure the tank is the highest quality and we have the logistical experience to ensure it arrives on site on time and in good condition.

Maximise energy efficiency and comfort with thermally broken windows ThermalHEART™ is the technology that lies at the core of the a new range of thermally efficient aluminium windows and doors available from JAG Windows ThermalHEART™ window and door systems are ideal for those jobs where minimising cold and heat transfer is a priority.

The release of these innovative systems coincides with new Government requirements on energy efficiency in homes and growing awareness regarding energy consumption within the broader community.

When combined with double‐glazing, ThermalHEART™ windows and doors meet contemporary aspirations for energy conservation and comfortable interior temperatures. Available for residential or commercial applications ThermalHEART™ window and door systems rate up to 32 percent better than standard double glazed windows and doors. ThermalHEART™ products include a glass fibre‐reinforced nylon insulator or thermal break between the aluminium exterior and interior elements.

This break minimises heat transfer between the interior and exterior elements. The extra insulation provided by ThermalHEART™ technology allows designers additional flexibility when achieving Building Code compliance with houses that incorporate large areas of glazing.

A comprehensive suite of ThermalHEART™ products is offered including awning, casement, and bi-fold windows, hinged and bi‐fold doors as well as sliding doors and a range of commercial framing systems. ThermalHEART™ not only offers excellent suitability for thermal performance but is capable of impressive product sizes allowing the large heights and spans sought by many designers and homeowners to be achieved (doors are suitable to heights of 2.7m). An added benefit of this range is that the unique thermal insulator jointing method allows a different choice of colour to compliment both internal and external colour palettes resulting in one colour on the outside and another on the inside.
