SCOPE

• This report is an audit tool for the Building Inspector/Compliance Auditor to identify compliance with the Building Code of Australia/National Construction Code, Building Act, regulations and Australian Standards.

PURPOSE

• This report is intended to supply information on the current stage of development of Class 2 to 9 Building sites and compliance with Building Code of Australia/National Construction Code and Building Act, regulations and Australian Standards.

OBJECTIVE

• Inspectors are to use the information gained from pervious site visits and paper audits to ascertain if the building has been built in accordance with the approved plans

METHODOLGY

• Inspectors will use data from previous the previous site visit and paper audit, 'e development' and 'Objective' and apply this information to the Class 2 to 9 development. . Inspectors will use the audit tool and iPad to gather information. Inspectors will use tape measures and digital laser levels to accurately record information. Inspectors will travel to the site locations using the Construction Audit Team vehicle

RESULT

• The results of the inspections will be uploaded to the Construction Audit Team data base and objective. Results will be recorded monthly.

• Upward terminations of membranes - AS 4654.2
  2.8.1.1 Height
  Where the membrane termination is to prevent water entry, the finished height of the membrane above the finished surface level shall be sufficient to prevent water, including wind driven, flowing over the top of the membrane.
  SUBSTRATE
  2.5.1 General
  The substrate material in contact with the waterproofing shall be suitable for and
  compatible with the waterproofing membrane system.
  Particleboard sheeting shall not be used as a substrate for external waterproofing systems.

  NOTE: For further information on suitability of materials used for substrates, refer to the
  following:
  (a) Concrete, AS 3600.
