Session Synopsis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For Australian architects and specifiers, the task of navigating a way through the National Construction Code (NCC) can sometimes be difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take walling systems as an example. As per the NCC, the regulations vary depending on the type of system involved \u2013 whether it\u2019s a steel framed wall system, a timber framed wall system, a concrete \/ masonry wall system, an external wall system, or indeed a ceiling system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, consideration must be given to Structural requirements (NCC Section B) Fire performance walls (NCC Section C), Water\/mould resistance & acoustic performance (NCC Section F), thermal performance walls (NCC Section J), Impact Resistance, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then again, you need to decide whether you meet regulations via. Deemed to Satisfy (DTS) or Performance solutions. Which all adds up to a lot of complexity and the possibility of error (and non-compliance). This session is intended to help remove some of that complexity and highlight practical pathways to compliance and performance when specifying walling systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
