Master Builders Foreword Welcome to the 2013/14 edition of BuildIT Victoria This year will see some important changes happening in the building and construction industry, in particular in the domestic building sector.

Following a scathing Victorian Auditor-General’s Office report on the operation of the Building Commission, the State Government saw fit to reform this regulatory body and in doing so, have released a preliminary strategy.

Among the key reforms listed in this Victorian Domestic Building Consumer Protection Reform Strategy are: • Creation of a ‘one-stop-shop’ for building practitioner regulation and domestic building consumer protection.

• Inspectors to make on-site inspections and give rulings on disputes.

• Better and more accessible insurance cover.

• Improved builder registration standards, oversight and discipline of non-performing builders.

• Improved oversight of building surveyors and the building permit system.

• Better and more accessible information for consumers.

Master Builders asked for many of these reforms and it is expected that the new system will be fairer on consumers and building practitioners who are operating correctly and within the law.

BuildIT is here to help you to access all of the products and services you need to operate your business effectively.

This latest edition, the thirteenth since the inception of BuildIT, contains all the product, service and labour solutions you could possibly need. Master Builders have come to rely upon the annual BuildIT as the first place they look for building products, suppliers, materials, subcontractors and consultants.

So as the building and construction landscape continues to change, you can be sure that BuildIT and all of the benefits and services 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.

Since that time the organisation has grown to become Victoria’s top building industry voice with members highly regarded for their reliability, skill and professionalism.

A broad based organisation, Master Builders services the needs of the entire industry, from residential to commercial and engineering businesses, principle contractors to subcontractors to manufacturers and suppliers.

Lobbying As Victoria’s peak professional body for the building industry, Master Builders is your voice on local, state and national government matters.

Our well-connected team advises government bodies and politicians on legislation and policies that impact our industry.

Working closely with our Sector Committees, we have the potential to influence laws and regulations that shape the way you work.

It has been a challenging time for many Victorian builders facing rising costs, weakening demand and a soft global economy. Master Builders is at the forefront of lobbying for governments to act to help protect jobs and stimulate investment in our industry.

Master Builders understands that government red tape means you are spending more time filling in paperwork and have less time to build the homes, offices, workplaces, schools, hospitals and other infrastructure our community relies on.

We have run successful campaigns and lobbied for changes to support the building sector, including: • The Is Anybody Listening? campaign, which saw the introduction of stamp duty cuts for first home buyers • Changes to Victoria’s industrial relations regime to help strengthen productivity through the new Construction Code Compliance Unit • Getting a commitment from the Federal Opposition to reinstate the ABCC if it wins office • Cuts to WorkCover premiums • Increases to TAFE hourly rate funding for all apprenticeship courses • Boosting infrastructure expenditure to support more construction projects • Reviews to bushfire-prone area mapping

Work is also continuing to: • Streamline and simplify Victoria’s overly complex planning laws • Reform Owner-Builder activity • Make councils more accountable for their planning decisions • Reform the domestic building disputes resolution processes • Oppose the introduction of new, model OHS laws that provide no real safety benefits for your business • Remove mandatory commercial building structural defects insurance • Oppose moves to introduce a National Occupational Licensing System that will only add red tape for our industry • Ensure an adequate amount of land is available for development We are also working on issues such as the Carbon Tax to ensure your voice is heard by decision makers. Let us know the issues impacting your business and allow Master Builders to fight for change, because like you we want to generate new construction projects and make the building industry fairer, stronger and safer.

Introducing Australia’s first tankless toilet system The ultimate in state-of-the-art technology and design, the Eco Throne is a tankless toilet system normally reserved for high end interiors and 5 Star hotels.

The clean sleek lines of this toilet are a must for the modern bathroom! As its name suggests, it requires no tank or cistern – there is no tank at the back of the toilet nor is there one hidden in the wall. Rather, this intelligent system uses tornado technology to flush the toilet.

First a high pressure jet triggers at the top of the pan and creates a tornado effect on the water in the pan. Then another jet in the outlet pipe of the toilet is activated and removes all water and waste from the pan into the toilet drain.

The Eco Throne is available as a toilet only or with an inbuilt bidet function. The features don’t stop there. When you walk up to the toilet, the lid rises automatically. You then sit down on a warm seat that is pre-set to your preferred temperature.

When you have finished your motions you press a button on the remote control that is mounted on the wall beside you and a stream of warm water will gently wash you clean. Then a warm air dryer built into the seat will gently assist in drying you off. And, for the fairer sex, there is a separate ladies wash...

36

BuildIT Victoria 2013/14

Then, when you hop off the toilet feeling all shower fresh, the lid closes. The flush then activates automatically. It even knows when to do a full or half flush.

The Eco Throne is available in three models: • A toilet only model that features auto flush, soft close lid and heated seat • The Prince that has all of the same features of the toilet model but integrates a bidet with full wash and dry function • The Princess has a little extra as all princesses should and boasts automatic opening and closing seat function • The Eco Throne range is available in S TRAP variable 220mm350mm and P TRAP 180mm configurations.

Tastic® Neo – the efficient and easy-to-use light, heat and ventilation unit Tastic® Neo is a three-in-one heat, ventilation and light solution suited to a variety of bathroom applications, from residential through to commercial projects.

An innovation designed to address market demand for a product that is sympathetic to quality designed interiors and architecture, Tastic® Neo references the design dialogue of a pared back contemporary bathroom yet offers easy installation, plus the option of simple connectivity to existing ventilation systems in residential and commercial buildings.

Built to last, Tastic ® Neo is made from durable, high quality materials by Sampford IXL, a company with a long history and reputation for safety and quality. As an Australian-made product the Tastic ® Neo unit is backed by a five-year warranty including a two-year warranty on heat lamps – that’s the assurance and reliability that stems from working with a company that’s been around since 1858.

Tastic ® Neo is designed, engineered and manufactured in Geelong by the Australian-owned company, Sampford IXL. Not only does it provide an elegant face bathroom extraction with the option to connect to an existing central ventilation system, the multi-functional unit includes ambient, high quality integrated heat and illumination. Three energy efficient, compact fluorescent 9W gimbal-mounted downlights provide task lighting while Sampford IXL’s Halo Heat Technology – tungsten halogen infrared

heat lamps – provide a broad spread of heat plus the option of additional lighting.

Compact and space efficient, Tastic ® Neo can be installed into a small ceiling cavity, requiring a clearance of a mere 180mm (when using existing ventilation). The cut out dimensions are 326x462mm for the Neo Single (featuring one heat lamp), and 326x712mm for the Neo Dual (with two heat lamps). As the long, thin infrared heat lamps occupy less space than bulky circular incandescent bulbs, Tastic ® Neo sits almost flush with the ceiling.

Tastic ® Neo’s powerful inline fan offers a class leading extraction capacity of 96 litres of air per second (or 346 m3 of air per hour).

Tastic ® Neo single is designed for ensuites and mid-sized bathrooms with ceiling heights to 2.4m, while Tastic ® Neo dual is designed for mid and large-sized bathrooms with ceiling heights up to 3.3 metres.

For more information contact: Phone: 1300 727 421 Website: www.ixlappliances.com.au

The sleek and unique IXL Tastic Neo combines cutting-edge technology with simple elegant design to create a light-filled, evenly heated, well-ventilated bathroom.

Australian-made with a 5-year in-home warranty, the Tastic Neo performs brilliantly with easy to control functions. Effortlessly efficient, it complements the modern bathroom with outstanding function.

building solutions

Thermally broken and airtight envelope are key to Low-E and Passivhaus buildings LAROS Technologies offers innovative structural thermo-breaking and air-sealing solutions for all types of commercial and residential dwellings, eliminating thermal bridges and related mould damage and minimising energy losses.

What about buildings that are endlessly comfortable without heating and air-conditioning, virtually maintenance-free, fully solarpowered, yet cost no more to construct than a standard building?

Low-E buildings achieve just that provided the ‘Passivhaus’ toolbox for architects is adhered to. This involves a comprehensively airtight (sealed) and seamlessly isothermal (insulated) building envelope. In addition, Low-E buildings feature double or tripleglazing with external solar heat-gain control (blinds) and a ventilation system with energy recovery (fresh-air supply).

While Low-E buildings maintain the same look and budget like conventional commercial or residential buildings, only the building approach differs slightly. To achieve an esky-like building envelope, the perimeter is air-sealed and thermal bridges are eliminated entirely. This omits dew-point-shifting into wall and ceiling constructions where hidden mould-related damage can occur over time.

Thermo-breaking of structural elements such as concrete slabs, cantilevered balconies and steel roof trusses contemplates the most complex and hence neglected challenge in Australia. LAROS Technologies supplies Schöck’s (www.schoeck.de) entire suite of German-engineered structural thermo-breaking solutions. Most

outstanding and easy to apply is the original Isokorb, an insulated steel reinforcement insertion element for cantilevered concrete elements, trusted all over Europe since 1962.

Unique to low-E dwellings is their very slow thermal response to outdoor climate conditions. Thermally broken, insulated and sealed windows are part of the total low-E building envelope approach.

LAROS Technologies supplies sophisticated ‘Passivhaus’ approved curtain-wall solutions from RAICO (www.raico.de) and triple-glazed timber windows and doors from Döpfner (www.doepfner.de).

ProClima’s (www.proclima.com) world-leading air-sealing technologies for walls and ceilings complement the above mentioned fenestration solutions perfectly, so do ROMA’s (www. roma.de) automated architectural blinds. They are external blinds and designed for high-wind situations, successfully protecting Low-E dwellings from unwanted sunshine during summer.

Adopting the ‘Passivhaus’ toolbox allows architects to be free of design constraints while achieving extraordinary building performance. Low-E buildings are naturally comfortable and cheap to run. They maintain resale value well into the future.

coolroom designers / builders

The Coolroom Man aims to work with businesses, not against them With a key focus on providing customers with an easy solution, The Coolroom Man believes that working alongside with other businesses benefits everyone.

Tony Mizzi, General Manager of The Coolroom Man, has found a way to leap forward in the industry proving not only customers but to other businesses that he provides professional services by working together with builders and shop fitters.

Unlike the name suggests, Tony is backed by a team of professionals helping him with onsite installations and manufacturing. Previously a concreter by trade, Tony knows that finding the time to tackle jobs with the precision needed can be a struggle, stating, “I know it can be hard for builders to make time for on-site inspections and measuring. By working together, we can halve the time it takes.”

Tony emphasises that communication and trust is also important, “It’s more than just selling a cool room and installing it. It’s about communicating to provide the right solution for your customer and helping them every step along the way.”

Tony explains, “I can use my expertise in cool and freezer rooms to help each builder and shop fitter develop a tailored solution to any query.”

Tony’s business is located on McIntyre Road, alongside Commercial Food Machinery, a well-established equipment supplier to the food service industry, and Complete Stainless Steel Fabrication situated not far behind. Instead of facing the market head on, Tony has taken advantage of his situation and worked closely with his neighbours to develop a well-oiled system. Tony can provide cool and freezer rooms both kit and custom to clients setting up restaurants, while Complete Stainless Steel offers custom stainless steel fit outs to kitchens and cool rooms.

Tony is looking at developing similar relationships with other businesses in the future. “The market is getting tougher. Key businesses need to work together to develop a greater and more efficient solution for the ones who keep us going – the customers.”

One stop shop for all your lifting and shifting needs The dedicated team at Plunkett Crane Trucks Pty Ltd has been servicing the building and construction industry, as well as the transport industry and allied trades since 1978.

We are proud to be a part of building Melbourne and Victoria.

Melbourne is an amazing city – one of the best in the world. It is continually changing and growing with new construction and redevelopment of older buildings.

The growth of Victoria since our humble birth in 1978 has seen many changes in the inner and outer areas of the state, with many new towns and suburbs being established. The current growth in the country towns and surrounding areas has been enormous especially in Geelong, Ballarat and Bendigo.

Back in 1978 the industry was very different compared to today.

Thanks to the development of modern trucks and cranes we are able to better utilise equipment to complete work requirements.

Today’s equipment is much safer than it was a decade ago, when the industry was still developing.

The use of remote control cranes allows us to lift and place items more efficiently, while still keeping an eye on the vehicle for stability. We can now safely lift and place items such as spas, lintels, steel, timber and much more, while not working directly from the crane or truck. The invention of frannas also gives another dimension to accessing sites and placing items where the truck mounted cranes cannot get proper access.

46

BuildIT VIcTorIa 2013/14

Over the years we have worked on, transported and erected a great deal of Victoria’s infrastructure. Such items include erecting or placement of garage lintels, wall frames, steel, placement of rail for tram lines, lifted and relocated trams, aeroplanes, monuments and artworks. We have also worked on the Melbourne Zoo and Airport.

Plunkett are members of the Victorian Crane Association and all of our equipment is tested and certified annually to Australian standards. All staff are qualified, licenced and registered with Work Safe. We cater for transportation, pickup, delivery, lifting or erecting on site for roof trusses, wall frames, lintels, scaffold, steel work, air conditioners, containers, concrete poles and products, kit homes, portable buildings and complexes, site sheds, machinery, rail, signs, tanks, timber and various over dimensional items.

With the ever changing face and direction of this industry, the knowledge we have obtained will enable the Plunkett staff to assist our customers to complete work requirements safely within the guidelines of OHS for decades to come.

Electrolux Oxygen Ducted Vacuum Systems: Innovative, efficient and quiet Electrolux has released their state-of-the-art Oxygen Ducted Vacuum Systems into Australia.

The soft-lined Electrolux Oxygen brings a new face to the world of ducted vacuums, including an enhanced True HEPA filtration system.

The unique double filtration system purifies the air to 99.97 per cent and diffuses it through a soft air diffusion system.

Add to that intelligent, high-tech operating features, such as information display, a self-cleaning filter and improved easy dirt bucket release, and this is a ducted vacuum system that is a shame to keep out of sight.

Electrolux Oxygen offers seven models, varying in features and performance depending on the size of your home and your particular cleaning needs. Regardless of the model you choose, you will experience a highly effective, durable and quiet central vacuum, helping you keep your home clean year after year while improving your indoor air quality.

The details are what turn a good performance into a world class experience. The Electrolux Oxygen system is packed with features that provide a whole new level of cleaning. This vacuum system is not just for your floors, but the entire room with convenient tools

readily available and stored on the handle. Innovative and unique, the combination of integrated tools, active control switch at the handle and active pick-up tool on the floor will turn your home into a healthy haven. These refinements will give you the ultimate clean.

No pedals. No brushes. Just a more efficient clean with less resistance, in fewer sweeps.

The secret lies in the system of optimal, aerodynamically designed air channels. Most vacuum cleaners pick up visible and harmless dirt, but leave the air even more polluted with tiny invisible particles. The Oxygen central vacuum system’s air channels allow more dirt, dust and particles to be removed, leaving nothing behind but clean air.

The Electrolux Oxygen: Optimal cleaning, every time!

doors & windows

Be Inspired with the Trend Windows and Doors product range With differing requirements needed for each and every site and client brief, the selection of effective windows, doors and glass is a critical component of the design process.

Trend has a range of windows and doors to suit any residential or commercial project. From traditional to contemporary styles, you can choose windows and doors from Trend’s product ranges – Synergy Residential Series, Quantum Architectural Series, Crestlite Commercial Series, Xtreme Bushfire, Trend thermAL Energy Efficiency Series or Trend’s range of Western Red Cedar, Meranti or Rosewood timbers.

The Synergy Residential Series offers three types of double hung, awning, bay and sliding windows, provincial hinge doors, sliding and sliding stacking doors to suit economic to mid range residential projects.

Trend’s Quantum Architectural Series of windows and doors features clean lines and larger sashes, which gives the appearance of timber but with the durability of aluminium. The architectural series is ideal for upmarket projects where speciality products such as sashless double hung, bifold windows, louvres, bifold doors and alfresco sliding stacker doors are required to enhance the overall appearance of the structure. Quantum awnings, casements and sliding windows, sliding doors and front entry frames are another option that will add additional appeal to any project.

The Crestlite Commercial Series offers a heavy duty aluminium framing system combined with glazing, which can be used in a variety of fixed lite applications. Integrated with operable windows, the series is perfect for commercial developments, apartments or high-rise residential projects. Trend’s commercial series features centre glazed, front glazed, inline awnings and the overlap awning system. The Crestlite commercial series also has awning, casement and sliding windows that can be incorporated into the standard Crestlite framing system, perfect for that high end residential development.

Crestlite heavy duty doors include the Viscount sliding and sliding stacker doors, Windsor sliding and sliding stacker doors, hinged and pivot doors. The Crestlite Windsor sliding door and sliding stacker doors are also available in sliding corner stacking units.

The Windsor door has a maximum door height of three metres with maximum door panel width of 1.8 metres and glazing is from 4mm toughened to 24mm double glazed unit. The Windsor sliding stacker door opening can be up to 12 metres (3-12 panels) subject to configuration and pascal ratings.

Another major innovation is Trend thermAL, an advanced energy efficient product that not only exceeds the code but is cost effective.

The hybrid product uses the strength of aluminium combined with a new patented rigid extruded polymer to create an extremely energy efficient product for all climates in Australia. When compared to existing older technologies, Trend thermAL is a very cost effective solution to the growing energy efficiency discussion.

It is designed for 25mm double glazed units for maximum energy efficiency and can be integrated with exterior powder-coated finishes. Trend thermAL allows for bold exterior statements while subtle interior colours can complement interior designs.

The Xtreme Bushfire Windows and Doors is the first window system in Australia designed to withstand temperatures up to 40kW/m2 BAL-40 without failure from either the glazing or from

the window system itself to help prevent internal ignition of property and loss of precious possessions.

Choose from a range of Trend’s natural durable timbers, whether it be Western Red Cedar, Meranti and Rosewood species.

Craftsman made timber windows and doors are energy efficient and achieve high WERS ratings, great for that special high-end residential project or clients wanting renewable or sustainable Western Red Cedar products.

Trend offers a variety of energy efficient glazing options to suit specific climate requirements to improve the thermal performance of your project.

By talking to Trend Windows and Doors about the unique requirements of your project, Trend sales consultants will advise you on the all the key considerations when designing and determining the appropriate frames and glass needed for a particular application.

Thermashield is Trend’s collection of product ranges utilising various materials and glazing options to help achieve the required window energy ratings for homes under the new government regulations.

F i r e p l Ac es

Real Flame has had a busy year After moving to a new facility in Scoresby, the company has grown at an extraordinary pace.

Real Flame has completed a number of high profile projects this year including Crown Casino, Metropole, Star City Casino, Rydges Hotel, Saffire by Federal Hotels and a number of exclusive apartment developments such as 150 Clarendon and 1 East Melbourne.

Consistent with their commitment to technological advancement in the gas fireplace industry, Real Flame has now released their exciting new Landscape range.

These fires are class leading in every aspect.

With fuel costs on the rise, efficiencies are now more important than ever and the Landscape fires do not disappoint. The 1000 model has a 3.8 star rating and the 1600 model has a 3.2 star rating, however, depending on flue configuration, a star rating as high as 4.7 is achievable.

With most homes being designed with large open plan living areas, it makes sense to install a fire that is not only a great focal point in the room, but one that can heat up to 150m2 efficiently.

This means that the ducted system which traditionally uses around 120mj/hr of gas can be turned off when using the main living area and the space heated with a Landscape fire that uses as little as 29mj/hr!

Boasting the widest viewing area of any gas fire on the market, the Landscape not only heats large areas, but also looks great.

It can be installed in new homes or in existing home renovations using a simple frame out.

The Landscape fires are controlled via a full remote control including electronic ignition, modulating burner, auto two- speed fan and a seven-day programmable timer.

The Landscape fires use direct vent technology, so all combustion air is taken from the outside, negating the need for ventilation. Because they use direct vent flue technology, these fires can have the flue terminate vertically or horizontally, allowing greater flexibility for installation.

Solar powered CCTV surveillance – the ultimate system for building site security A smart solar powered solution for site security surveillance and project monitoring.

There is now a security system available that was previously thought to be too expensive, ineffective and simply unachievable.

The solar powered lighting and CCTV surveillance system by Leadsun Australia is the new force to combat building site security surveillance issues as well as having many other beneficial uses.

One of the significant differences between existing site surveillance units currently available and the Leadsun system is the need for mains power is eliminated because it is powered by our ‘off grid’ solar engine. The units are completely independent and are capable of on board recording and transmitting live video via 3G/NextG mobile networks or if in remote areas, using satellite integration options.

With the introduction of high definition video, the quality in both day and night scenarios surpasses traditional optical camera capabilities. Each system can be fitted with an optional outdoor infrared motion sensor where a silent alarm is triggered and footage is transmitted immediately to your phone, internet browser or monitoring software.

Installation is completed using a removable, concreteless footing system that takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes to install (depending on soil conditions). A lowerable pole is then fitted onto the footing allowing for the system to be installed and then simply wound up to its vertical position using a detachable winch. Once the CCTV is no longer needed it can be uninstalled then moved to another site. The ease of installation is worth noting since the rental option is also available.

Other benefits of having the system are making sure site safety is being followed and tracking contractor working hours (if you are offsite). Your client will also benefit from viewing the footage as they will be able to remotely track the progress of their development and even produce a time lapse video showing the construction of the project from start to finish.

Highest selling LEDs light up Australia Since opening in 2009, Lemnis Lighting Australia has come a long way in establishing itself as a fore-runner in sustainable lighting.

The history of Lemnis LEDs (light emitting diodes) goes back decades to when two young cousins grew up in the city of Eindhoven, Netherlands. Warner Philips and Frans Otten were the great-grandchildren of Anton Philips, founder of Philips Lighting, and themselves future co-founders of Tendris – the cleantech incubator that hatched Lemnis Lighting.

Years later in 2006, Warner Phillips and his family launched the first Lemnis LED. This introduced the first LED light bulb that could perform on par with incandescent light bulbs, opening the window to LEDs becoming real-life replacements for incandescents.

Halfway across the world, two Australian men had spent many fruitless months scouring the globe for the best LED products. With little luck, they had trialled and tested more than they could count until they stumbled across the Lemnis product. “At first we could not believe they did not have distributors of their products here in Australia,” Managing Director John Simpson said. “They clearly had the best LED products and the highest selling globes in the world and yet not one had been sold here in Australia.”

Determined to bring the product back to Australia and benefit local businesses, Mr Simpson and General Manager, Bart Evers, soon began importing. “We began importing the product through our original business but it was soon clear this would become much bigger than we had ever imagined,” Mr Simpson said.

Lemnis Lighting Australia in 2013 Today, Lemnis Lighting is a fore-runner in sustainable lighting with LED technology in the Australian market. They proudly employ more than 20 staff in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and have recently launched in New Zealand.

They work with businesses and consumers to enable the transition from current wasteful lighting solutions towards energyefficient alternatives, without making concessions on customer needs. In order to have the biggest possible impact, Lemnis positions themselves as a paragon of this transition towards energyefficient solutions. This way, Lemnis Lighting helps consumers, businesses and policy makers reduce their CO2-footprint and save energy through new lighting solutions that employ super-energy efficient LED’s.

62

BuildIT Victoria 2013/14

The Lemnis technology The reason Lemnis LEDs out perform all others is the patented technology. Rather than using one color LED chip (blue) in its light source, Lemnis uses two (red and green). This means Lemnis uses little or no yellow phosphor in their products which can cause LEDs to ‘burn out’ or at the least degenerate in color.

All of the products Lemnis Lighting Australia sells are the best in their class, proven by being the highest selling LED globe around the world two years in row. Not only are the LEDs the top selling globe, but also have the highest Colour Rendering Index, ultimately increasing the durability, life-span and quality of the product.

Introducing Lemnis to builders With clients such as McDonald’s, Peppers Resorts and Qualia signing up to have Lemnis LED lighting installed, Lemnis Lighting Australia is being endorsed by some of the country’s most respected brands. North Queensland’s Six Star resort Qualia’s General Manager, Michael Shah, said the resort has not looked back since switching. “Qualia is a world class resort and the ambience provided by lighting is obviously very important, but so is sustainability and reducing our electricity bill – and a Lemnis fit-out ticked all the boxes,” he said.

Lemnis is now focussing its attention on builders, architects and designers.

“It’s been great dealing with such large customers and retrofitting our lights into existing dwellings but its time our lights are installed right from the beginning and for that to happen we need relationships with the people building and designing these new buildings,” said Managing Director John Simpson.

LIGHTING

LED lighting from Trim Energy A focus on developing LED lighting products based on Australian market feedback and requirements.

As is the case with many emerging technologies, the LED lighting market has been strongly supplier driven. LED lights had rapidly been developed on crude designs that were easy to manufacture within the physical constraints of existing light fittings. This resulted in products that weren’t visually appealing and whose performance wasn’t remotely close to conventional light fittings.

Every market around the globe is unique, and Australians have become accustomed to a high standard of quality demanded from their products. Only a select few lighting suppliers in Australia have listened to customers and developed LED lighting products that meet their needs. Trim Energy is proud to be one of these suppliers.

The key benefit of utilising LED technology in domestic, commercial, and industrial lighting applications is the ability to deliver a significant reduction in energy consumption. When employing LED lighting, an energy saving of more than 70 per cent can be achieved in the majority of lighting applications. However this saving in energy should not come at a tradeoff to performance.

Trim Energy’s focus is to develop LED light fittings that exceed the performance of equivalent traditional fittings, in order to provide energy savings with no compromise on lighting characteristics.

Trim Energy has worked with Australian building contractors, electricians, architects and end users to satisfy requirements in aesthetics, light distribution, installation, and function.

The TE-101 LED Downlight Kit is a perfect example. Designed and tested in Australia it features a light output that exceeds that of traditional 50W halogen downlights, a uniform and smooth light distribution gradient for premium ambience, a high colour rendering index for accurate colour reproduction, a long and reliable lifetime for reduced maintenance, and a compact attractive appearance. All of this is delivered while achieving a 74 per cent energy saving.

Lighting is an essential element in the home, office, and in retail environments. It is important to achieve a desired ambience and level of comfort. A good quality luminaire can enhance the appearance of objects and spaces, and improve energy efficiency.

Moisture Meters

Moisture meter technology Moisture meters have become a necessary tool required by builders, building inspectors and water damage restoration contractors.

Moisture is primary to the formation of mould, mildew and bacteria – the use of a moisture meter is necessary in avoiding costly repairs caused by its damaging spread.

There are two types of meters, Pin-type meters and Pin-less meters. Pin-type meters provide more definitive information on the overall condition of a structure, as opposed to Pin-less meters. This is because insulated electrodes are available allowing the operator to take readings in various materials and at different depths of penetration, ultimately finding the source of moisture.

Pin-less meters allow the operator to assess the overall moisture condition quickly and with no ‘damage’ to the material being tested.

Meters that combine both technologies are available in a single meter. Upon arriving at the job, one can do a quick scan of the area using the Pin-less function. Then, based on those findings, he can go back and use the pins to obtain more precise information. This combines the speed and ease of a Pin-less meter with the precision of a Pin-type meter.

Hygrometers are being used more and more in the construction industry. They allow you to check the humidity and temperature of the building envelope. Relative humidity is also a crucial factor to consider when coating or installing a floor over a concrete sub floor.

Hydrometers are also used for testing concrete slab moisture.

This involves drilling a hole in the slab and inserting a capped sleeve. General rule of thumb is that relative humidity in a concrete floor slab shall not exceed 75% at the time of testing, unless otherwise specified by the flooring or adhesive manufacturer. Most recently the resilient flooring industry released AS1884-2012, which utilises the American ASTM 2170 protocol

solAr

The Solar Ready Home Kit from EnaSolar helps homeowners prepare to ‘go solar’ Christchurch-based manufacturer EnaSolar is helping residents in New Zealand – and now in Australia - to prepare their houses for quick and easy solar power installation.

The Solar Ready Home Kit is a high-quality solar inverter wall kit from EnaSolar that allows for preparation or even pre-wiring to the best standards in order to help homeowners who are repairing or rebuilding their houses to prepare to ‘go solar’ and future proof their often largest investment.

EnaSolar Global Sales Manager Trevor Foster says that the Solar Ready Home Kit initiative means residents can future-proof their homes and be almost 30 percent ready to go solar.

“The overall goal is to help all new home builds or repairs to potentially save thousands of dollars in installation costs with the early preparation and or pre-wiring and use of the kit. The greatest feature is that all wiring will be hidden and the speed at which you can go from solar-ready to solar is on average less than one day.”

The Solar Ready Home Kit is now available in Australia, and has been successfully implemented in New Zealand – particularly in earthquake-ravaged Christchurch.

Mr. Foster says the principle of preparing a house for solar while it’s in the process of a rebuild or repair applies to Australian home owners.

“Australia, in this year alone, has experienced massive fires and floods, and we would encourage insurers to consider looking at

providing the Solar Ready Home Kit as an option for the people who will undoubtedly have to undergo repairs and rebuilds under very stressful conditions,” he explains.

The modular design of the EnaSolar inverter kit means that any size inverter can be installed into the kit; the range includes 1.5kW, 2kW, 3kW, 3.8kW, 4kW, 4.6kW or 5.0kW grid-tied solar inverter.

Braemac Energy has been working with EnaSolar for 15 years and is delighted to be one of the first Australian solar installation companies to offer the latest addition to EnaSolar’s impressive product line.

“This is an excellent piece of equipment which allows homeowners to install a solar PV system in phases and architects, property developers and building firms to offer more flexible options to their clients,” says Jonathan Mitchell, General Manager of Braemac Energy.

swimming pools & equipment

Focus Products – developing technology and equipment efficiency The high performance Noria® range delivers state-of-the-art technology coupled with quality materials and workmanship, backed by Focus Products’ extensive warranties!

The Noria® DUO is the first energy saving pump in the Noria® range. The pump utilises an AC two speed motor that has been specially designed for Focus, specifically for the Australian and New Zealand swimming pool market. The two speed modes can be selected by simply pressing the stainless steel button on the top of the pump control box.

The Boost Mode (high speed) runs at 2800rpm consuming approximately 1400 watts (approx 1.5hp) and the ESP Mode runs at 1400rpm consuming approximately 280 watts.

Ideally the consumer should leave the pump running in ESP Mode (1400rpm) for all filtration, Chlorination and automatic pool cleaning. Focus Products have carried out extensive testing with different pool hydraulic designs and have found that in at least 90 per cent of average size pools, the ESP mode was more than sufficient for running all filtration, Chlorination and automatic pool cleaning. When a media filter is used in conjunction with a Noria DUO pump the lower flow rate of water passing through the filter will allow the filter to work substantially better resulting in a cleaner, clearer swimming pool.

If a manual vacuum or backwash is required, the customer can select Boost Mode for a full 1.5hp of flow then switch it back to ESP mode to continue saving money.

Another advantage of using the ESP mode is that the noise level of the pump is dramatically reduced. In most cases this gives the customer the advantage of being able to run their pool overnight when electricity can be much cheaper and chlorine is more effective without having neighbours complaining about excessive noise levels.

The customer will have the ability to save up to $800 per year on electricity (compared to a standard 1.5hp pump running eight hours per day on 2013 Energex QLD electricty rates) as well as being able to claim government rebates currently offered for energy saving swimming pool pumps.

The Noria ECO is the second energy saving pump in the Noria range. The pump utilises a true variable speed DC axial flux, brushless, permanent magnet motor that delivers high power efficiency at low noise levels. It has three programmable speeds that allow the pool owner to select the most efficient speed

for filtration, vacuuming and backwashing. The user interface allows these three programmable speeds to be adjusted from the minimum of 1450rpm to the maximum of 2800rpm in increments of 50rpm. Unlike standard single speed pool pumps, which can consume over 1500w per hour, the ECO can use as little as 100w per hour depending on the flow rate the pool owner requires on their pool. The ECO pump utilises a wet end that has been made in Australia from durable thermoplastic, composite resin to withstand the harsh Australian climate. Whilst similar pump wet ends have been used in the Australian market for many years, the Noria ECO has had a number of structural improvements applied to it, including: • High strength clear lid with H profile oring for superior sealing • One piece hair and lint pot for extra strength and less hydraulic noise • Heavy duty impeller with threaded metal insert • Heavy duty mechanical seal Ideally the customer or swimming pool technician should program the eco speed at the optimium filtration speed leaving the other two programmable speeds for automatic pool cleaning and backwashing. This will ensure the ECO pump saves the pool owner the maximum amount of electricity whilst still leaving the pool crystal clear. Another advantage of the ECO pump at low speed is that it is extremely quiet. This enables the ECO to be used during off peak electricity periods saving the pool owner even more money. Utilising night time off peak rates can increase the chlorine efficiency in the swimming pool making it a clearer, healthier environment for swimming. The swimming pool owner will have the ability to save more than $800 per year on electricity (compared to a standard 1.5hp pump running eight hours per day on 2013 Energex QLD electricity rates) as well as being able to claim government rebates currently offered for energy saving swimming pool pumps.

Consistent level of excellence – That’s the ‘peace of mind’ PINENZ® quality promise When you buy pine interior finishings and treated primed exterior profiles, you want quality. That’s why New Zealand’s pine manufacturers have created the independently certified PINENZ® mark.

In a market with many cheap low-quality alternatives, Pinenz ® helps builders identify pine products manufactured to a consistent level of excellence. The mark can be found on a range of interior and exterior products ranging from structural large span Glulam lintels to high value appearance mouldings such as balustrades and scotias.

Pinenz® was created by the New Zealand Pine Manufacturers’ Association (PMA) to protect the reputation for quality that they’ve developed with Aussie builders since the 1980s. Manufacturers who wish to use the Pinenz® mark must meet the conditions set in a number of Australian and New Zealand Standards and pass a comprehensive independent audit of their processes and procedures. The audit is carried out by AsureQuality, one of Australasia’s most trusted quality assurance organisations. It involves an 88 point assessment of all aspects of a manufacturer’s operation, from the arrival of timber at the factory, through to processes such as fingerjointing, timber preservation and laminating, to dispatch of the finished product.

80

BuildIT Victoria 2013/14

Regular in-house testing between audits is carried out by each manufacturer to ensure that Pinenz® standards are maintained.

Timber sourced exclusively from New Zealand’s sustainably managed radiata pine forests is used to make Pinenz® products.

The world-class research behind these forests delivers timber of uniform density and colour with excellent machining and finishing properties. Structural products have a high tensile strength, and adhesives used in structural jointing meet Australia’s strict exterior and exposure tests. Appearance products are supplied finished for high value end uses – with high timber yields. Your Pinenz® products paint up well and require minimal maintenance.

The Pinenz® benefit for builders is peace of mind thanks to quality products designed to Australian standards for Australian conditions by people who know your market.

Bosch Blue – built to last Professional tradesmen need tools that are not only powerful, but can also go the distance!

Bosch Blue 4.0Ah Lithium-Ion Battery with ‘Cool Pack’ (RRP $149)

Bosch Blue GBH 18V-LI Compact Hammer (RRP $249)

Durable and robust batteries are essential to effective and efficient work, which is why Bosch has developed the pioneering 4.0Ah battery with ‘Cool Pack’ for active temperature control.

Bosch Blue’s 4.0Ah battery is built to last – it boasts up to 65 per cent more run time than standard 3.0Ah batteries and up to 100 per cent longer life span compared to batteries without ‘Cool Pack’ technology. It’s also tough enough to survive a two metre drop.

The innovative ‘Cool Pack’ technology ensures optimum battery performance. The ‘Cool Pack’ is housed on the battery pack and works by reducing heat build up during use.

The radiator located outside the battery pack allows for optimal heat emission from inside the pack and heat-balancing technology ensures an equal temperature level is maintained within the battery at all times.

The result is a battery with higher energy density and improved internal resistance, which allows for a significantly longer run time without the risk of over-heating.

The battery is also exceptionally lightweight – in fact, despite its robust and compact design, it’s the lightest battery on the market!

It also features an LED indicator for each charge level.

Bosch’s new 4.0Ah battery is compatible with all Bosch 18V Professional Cordless tools.

The GBH 18V-LI compact cordless rotary hammer from Bosch makes work easy for professional tradesmen. The smallest and lightest cordless rotary hammer in its class, the GBH 18V-LI weighs just 1.9 kilograms and is only 278 mm in length.

With a handle and drill shaft that are perfectly aligned, the hammer ensures precision work. It’s comfortable and safe to use thanks to a slim handle with soft grip coverings.

Perfect for small to medium drilling and screw work, the hammer offers one joule of impact energy and speeds of up to 1,050 revolutions per minute. These are continuously variable using an accelerator switch.

Thanks to a pneumatic hammer mechanism, the hammer drills holes of up to 12 mm diameter in concrete. Flexibility is also ensured with the two tool settings – “drilling with impact” and “drilling without impact”.

The GBH 18 V-LI compact is available in a carton as a Bare Tool only.

Bosch Blue GDX 18 V-LI Professional Impact Driver (RRP $499)

Bosch Blue GGS 18 V-LI Straight Grinder (RRP $249)

The GDX 18 V-LI Professional is the first impact driver to feature a combined hexagon/ square tool holder. Boasting high performance capability combined with compact design, the GDX 18 V-LI Professional offers professional tradespeople unparalleled flexibility. Designed to hold both ¼ inch hex screw bits and ½ inch sockets, the tool caters for all connections in installation, metal and wood construction. Gone are the days of fiddling with adapters and switching from one tool to another – with the GDX 18 V-LI Professional, all that’s required is a simple accessory change.

Sockets for large screw connections can be replaced in seconds with hex bits for smaller screw connections. The tool’s impact driver works without recoil. When the ½ inch external socket bit is used, the GDX 18 V-LI Professional offers a maximum torque of 180 newton meters. This enables screws of up to 16mm in diameter to be quickly and powerfully tightened or loosened. When the ¼ inch internal hexagon is used, the tool is only 166mm long, weighing 1.6 kilograms with a 1.3Ah battery, and 1.8 kilograms with a 3.0Ah battery. This makes it perfect for working overhead and in tight spaces. The impact driver also sits comfortably in the hands thanks to integrated soft-grip inserts. If work needs to be interrupted, the tool’s clip easily attaches to all tool belts.

Professional tradesmen will have all their grinding and sanding needs covered with Bosch Blue’s powerful GGS 18 V-LI Professional cordless straight grinder.

The GGS 18 V-LI Professional gives tradesmen the freedom to work in tight spaces and boasts a robust, resilient four-pole high-performance motor. The grinder can be operated comfortably with one hand due to its light weight (1.8 kg) and compact design. It also has an extremely short neck and slim handle with soft grip covering.

The grinder is equipped with a specially hardened 6 mm collet, which holds standard accessories for sanding, grinding and routing applications. The easy-to-use on/off switch in the grip area has a special “two motion switch” mechanism to prevent uncontrolled tool startup.

The GGS 18 V-LI Professional also ensures fast work thanks to a no-load speed of 22,000 revolutions per minute.

Market leaders in ute canopies and trays The trusted name in canopies and trays now commences an exciting new chapter by establishing a Melbourne based National Office.

Flexiglass commenced in Western Australia in 1949 when Harry Robins saw the first Holden car and identified the need for a station wagon. Harry created his first canopy using a steam bent timber frame and sheet metal panels. It was an outstanding success and he was soon making a range of designs from aluminium sheeting with side sliding windows. This innovative canopy featured laminated glass and an interior dome light.

This was just the beginning for Harry. In 1956 he designed the first ever fibreglass canopy. This canopy was years ahead of its time and featured many similarities to today’s canopies. In 1959 Harry diversified into the fibreglass boat building business and together with his two sons created the foundations of today’s Flexiglass.

Together they designed and perfected a new system of fibreglass that they called Flexiglass. Unlike the ridged canopies of the time, it was extremely lightweight and flexible. Throughout the 1970s, Flexiglass continued to grow and branches were opened in South Australia and Victoria. Demand rapidly grew around the country and New South Wales and Queensland branches soon followed.

In 1989, Flexiglass and Challenge Canopies merged to form Flexiglass Challenge - the largest canopy manufacturer in Australia.

Today, Flexiglass is owned by Fleetwood Corporation, an ASX 200 listed company that acquired Flexiglass in 2002.

The company is currently undergoing an exciting new phase that will provide Flexiglass the foundation required to set the new industry benchmarks in customer service, product development and value proposition. With the appointment of a new, driven management team, Flexiglass has made the strategic decision to establish their Head Office facility in Tullamarine, Melbourne. The premise based in the automotive capital of Australia will house the National Management Team, a new national warehousing initiative and the Victorian operation and showroom once the current branch is relocated from High St, Northcote where it had been operational since 1994.

The broadest product offering in Australia within the canopy and tray market segments has been one of the key success factors for Flexiglass. “Our company is the pioneer of canopies in Australia, we are the experts and as such we have the depth in our product offerings within this category,” states Ergun Kirmaci, National Sales and Business Development Manager. The Flexiglass canopy offer begins with the stable hold and ever reliable Tradesman canopy.

The fibreglass canopy finished in the standard gel coat white finish has been favoured by fleets and tradies for many a year.

This product offers great configuration flexibility in opening and/ or sliding side windows, high roof and cab height options, interior lining options, roof vents, security mesh, roof racking solutions and other customisations that have made this canopy the product of choice for so many for so long. For those more discerning who require a smooth finish canopy colour coded to the colour of their vehicle, the Premier canopy is the product that ticks all boxes.

It too offers all the flexibility of the Tradesman but includes interior felt lining as standard, great for eliminating condensation that may occur with hard finish surfaces.

84

BuildIT Victoria 2013/14

The canopy range continues with the top of the range Flexisport canopy, the premium canopy in the industry which offers all the “bells and whistles” as standard features. The Flexisport is not only stylish in design but it offers sports roof bars, demister for the tailgate window, roof mounted spoiler and vehicle integrated central locking for tailgate access. The Flexisport is the perfect choice for a canopy that enhances your vehicle. Flexiglass understand the requirements of their customers like no other.

As such, they also offer canopies which present users with large side and rear access for transportation and ease of access to bulky items. The Worksmart is another of the Flexiglass canopies designed for use with light commercial vehicles with a factory fitted tub. This unit is not only a stylish product but offers integrated central locking for rear and side access, large side access, rear window demister and extra storage space with a high roof design.

Flexiglass also has the cab chassis market covered with their Workezy and the Combo products. The Workezy unit, available for all wheel bases, is a high storage capacity fibreglass canopy which utilises an alloy tray deck as the floor of the canopy. It offers pallet loading access from the side and rear doors and can be optioned with roof racking solutions. The combo unit comprises of a full Flexiglass alloy tray with a custom built canopy which can also be configured to allow pallet loading ability via side and rear access to the unit. It too can be coupled with roof storage solutions. Colour coding to your vehicle colour is an option that is offered for both these unique products.

‘Tuff trays’ are the ideal two words to describe the Flexiglass tray offering. Made from alloy components, the range of trays Flexiglass takes to market has all wheel bases and more covered. A budget, standard and deluxe tray product hierarchy results in the availability of trays for all budgets. The key differences in the products are the head board loops, head board meshing, mud guard finishes and locking mechanisms. All three products offer the same load and durability specifications.

With the extensive range of canopies and trays on offer, Flexiglass is well poised to continue their market position as a name of choice for light commercial vehicle accessories. The future will see Flexiglass expand their product portfolio to offer customers a more comprehensive light commercial vehicle fit out. The recent relocation to the new Head Office facility located in Tullamarine Melbourne will provide Flexiglass the stimulus to build on what has been a most reputable and sought after brand.

Nissan Navara gets the job done A poor workman blames his tools. A good workman can thank his. Especially when they offer the features and benefits of the Nissan Navara.

A huge advantage of choosing a ute from the Nissan Navara range is that there’s sure to be one that’s perfect for your needs.

Dual Cabs, Single Cabs, King Cabs, and Dual Cab Cab Chassis are all available to help you power through work and play.

And they’re paired with turbo-diesel engines that range from a reliable workhorse to the most powerful ute in its class.

The V6 turbo-diesel, available in the ST-X and ST-X 550 Dual Cab models, serves up 550Nm of torque and 170kW of power.

It’s the only V6 available in a dual cab, so it’s no wonder it’s called ‘Australia’s Most Powerful Tradie’. In addition to all the power, it offers excellent fuel economy and low emissions.

The ST Dual Cab is more powerful than ever. It now delivers 140kW of power and 450Nm of torque, for the grunt you need onsite as well as effortless highway driving. So whether you’re loaded up with work gear or loaded up with kids on the weekend, it’s ready to go. The ST 4x2 is also up for just about anything with a turbo-diesel engine providing 120kW of power and 403Nm of torque.

The Nissan Navara is also justifiably famous for its 4WD ability and towing power. All Navara 4x4 models are capable of pulling a massive 3,000kg (trailer with brakes).

At the same time, the Navara offers a level of ride comfort more expected from a wagon than a workhorse, partly thanks to the way it’s constructed. A strong high-tensile steel ladder chassis with welded cross members offers less vibration and a reassuring solidity, while a highly effective suspension system provides impressive agility. On-road or off-road, you’ll find that the Navara feels like it knows exactly what it’s doing.

And, because Nissan knows the value of a hard day’s work, business buyers get special offers and discounted prices on the entire Navara range. In fact, Nissan’s special fleet pricing and support mean that the Nissan Navara presents a cost-effective way for your business to power to the top.

Nissan also offers all buyers incredible financing rates on the entire Navara range through Nissan Finance (NFSA). With a wide variety of tailored financial solutions, Nissan Finance will ensure you get the ute you want on the terms that work best for you.

When you add all this to Nissan’s capped service costs for 6 years/120,000km, if you’re in the market for a ute, you owe it to yourself to take a look at the Nissan Navara range.

large family and cargo.

Colorado 7 boasts the same muscular styling, powerful new Duramax 2.8-litre turbo diesel engine and impressive off-road capability as its LCV sibling with generous cargo space, full-size seven-seat interior, and a chassis configuration designed specifically for the SUV. Colorado 7 will be available in two specifications, the wellequipped entry level LT and top-spec LTZ. Recommended retail pricing ranges from $46,990 for the LT and $50,490 for the LTZ. Colorado 7 also shares the safety credentials of its Colorado Crew Cab stable-mate, which is recognised with a 5-star ANCAP safety rating. Colorado’s robust structural design is backed by a comprehensive array of safety features with Electronic Stability Control, dual front airbags and full-length curtain airbags that extend to the third row on both LT and LTZ variants.

One powertrain and transmission combination will be available with the strong-performing 2.8 litre diesel engine and 6-speed automatic transmission standard on both LT and LTZ Colorado 7 models. The Duramax diesel engine achieves 132 kW of power and 470 Nm of torque.

Finally the new VF Commodore Ute will be here mid-2013 and we can’t wait to tell you the story behind the most advanced vehicle created in this country. Whether appreciating it from the outside or from the driver’s seat, the VF Commodore Ute’s distinct new design is truly a class above.

Over one million test kilometres have gone into the VF Commodore making sure every time you start the engine you have the best drive Holden can offer. From ride and handling, to making sure you hear that refined deep purr every time you put your foot on the accelerator.

Best Butts – tested and trusted butt joining solutions Delivering the only system available in Australia that can get an accurate and controlled 1.6mm to 2mm recess.

Designed by plastering companies with more than 20 years experience in the trade and tested by a plastics engineering and design company, the Best Butts system provides an unparalleled solution for centralising butt joints between trusses, batons and joists.

Manufactured by Australian Constructions Technologies Pty Ltd, Best Butts are comprised of lightweight injection moulded plastic.

The system extends the use of accurate metric measurement in butt joining (an area of plastering long overlooked) and can accommodate back blocking as recommended in AS2589:1:2007.

The system has been designed to save time – there is no need to source and shape scrap material and it requires less filling material and sanding to finish off. The Best Butts application takes approximately one minute each side.

The Best Butts connector allows movement, retaining a quality connection. It gives an even fill for controlled drying at a constant thickness and at less than 600 grams in weight, it is light enough not to cause sagging in the plasterboard.

The Best Butts application results in a smooth, even finish.

Ceiling sag, peaking, deformities and cracking are a thing of the past. The quality finish is maintained, giving ultimate satisfaction to homeowners and building clients alike.

The Association of Wall and Ceiling Industries Victoria The Association of Wall and Ceiling Industries Victoria (AWCIV) was established in 1924 when fibro plaster sheeting was introduced as the major interior lining material.

Following the introduction of fibro sheeting, The Country Fibrous Plasterers Association was formed. Its aim was to establish an organisation whereby discussion and communication between industry participants would benefit the development of the industry throughout the state.

Over the years the association has gone through several name changes in an effort to illustrate the organisation’s purpose and function. The current identity, The Association of Wall and Ceiling Industries, incorporates in its membership various participants including apprentices, small, medium and large plasterboard and lining contractors (both residential and commercial), to the largest manufacturers of wall and ceiling components in the nation.

The AWCIV is primarily an association that represents contractors. It supports its contractors through creating a wide range of training and networking opportunities such as the Annual Golf day in May, the Sundowner Product Night at the Riva St Kilda on 6 March and regional trade nights. The biggest event of the year is the Annual Awards of Excellence at the Melbourne Convention Centre on Friday, 23 August.

The categories are non residential over $250,000 (including refurbishments), residential over $250,000 (including refurbishments), façade treatments (all based on plastering contract value), heritage restoration, large commercial projects and residential homes.

DO YOU WANT TO SHOWCASE YOUR BEST WORK?

The AWCIV is an affiliate member of the national body, The Association of Wall and Ceiling Industries of Australia and New Zealand (AWCIA & N/Z). At this level there is a considerable commitment and participation in Standards Australia in order to establish the highest standards of industry finish both visually and technically.

More recently the AWCI has established a Nationally Registered Training Organisation (RTO). Based at the Victorian headquarters in Moorabbin, it delivers trade training to all levels of the industry from apprentices to mature aged workers. All of this up-skilling is being delivered onsite. The range of training units offered include, regular internal and external lining of buildings, passive fire protection, acoustical, wet areas and suspended ceiling systems.

We are also exploring the possibility to offer fibrous plaster shop work in the future to embrace the Heritage sector of the industry.

This year we launched the online SWMS document available to all our members. It can be viewed at www.plastersafe.com.au

Find out why builders prefer All Poly tanks We chat with Peter Caton, the Managing Director of Custom Edge Homes, to discover why they choose All Poly tanks over the rest.

Why do you encourage the installation of tanks on Custom Edge Homes projects?

As builders of new homes throughout Victoria, it is our responsibility to build homes that not only achieve a Six Star energy rating, but also allow the homeowners to be selfsufficient. Nothing beats satisfying customers with the warm, “I’m doing my bit for the environment” feeling they receive when using their own rainwater.

What made you choose All Poly tanks?

We chose All Poly tanks over the rest for a range of reasons.

The team at All Poly is easy to deal with, quality is great and it’s convenient. Tanks are delivered onto site when it suits best.

Would you recommend All Poly tanks to others?

Absolutely. I have yet to come across a more reliable tank.

The service you receive is genuine and prices are reasonable.

How do your plumbers find the installation?

Our plumbers tell me installation is quick and easy. The All Poly tank and pump packages come pre-plumbed and wired with a submersible pump mounted internally so there is no external pump to bolt down, no need for a pump cover and no plumbing between the pump and the tank. Just place the tank, connect the flexible connectors, plug in the power lead and forget.

Water-based membrane technology overtakes solvent-based Bostik Australia continues to invest in performance technology testing and quality

Strengthening research and development has allowed Bostik to enhance the technical properties of its waterproofing products to better suit the needs of the market.

Bostik’s waterproofing flagship, ASA Dampfix Gold, has led the evolution of its waterproofing products towards higher performance and better quality. Dampfix Gold combines performance and convenience – a very easy to use, water-based urethane acrylic membrane for internal or external waterproofing.

It has combined the performance of solvent-based technology: • Excellent penetration resistance • Very tough • Fast-cure • Low bond-breaker demand (Class III membrane)

With the convenience of water-based: • Very smooth application properties • Low VOC and odour • Repairable • Compatible with a range of substrates and coverings (easy to bond)

It also has some additional properties such as: • Easy film build • Far exceeds the requirements of AS/NZS 4858 and AS4654 (< 1,200 per cent elongation under all test conditions) • Can be re-coated or bonded to any time after curing The product can be used in showers, bathrooms, kitchens, balconies, rooftops, and laundries. It can be applied to a wide range of substrates such as concrete, render, screed, fibre cement, wet area plasterboard and marine plywood.

Dampfix Gold has benefits for users because of easy application, speed and versatility.

ASA is a Bostik brand.
