VIC Chapter | Preston | NCC 2019 Mid-Rise Timber Buildings
Mantra Bell City | 3 CPD Points | Boris Iskra and Paul England
About this Event - 30 May 2019
WoodSolutions will partner with the Australian Institute of Building Surveyors in delivering a series of seminars specifically tailored for the AIBS membership. These seminars will provide detailed information in relation to:
- Changes to the National Construction Code 2019 to permit Mid-Rise Timber Buildings up to 25m effective height in all classes of building (Class 2 to 9)
- Other changes to the National Construction Code that may impact on the use of timber construction
- Technical research and analysis that enable the change
- Evidence of suitability available to support Mid-Rise Timber Buildings, and
- WoodSolutions Technical Design Guides being developed to support the change
Background
A Proposal-for-Change to create voluntary Deemed-to-Satisfy (DTS) provisions in the National Construction Code 2019, Building Code of Australia Volume One (NCC) was submitted by Forest & Wood Products Australia (FWPA) to extend the use of timber construction systems to all classes of buildings up to 25 metres in effective height (termed ‘mid-rise’ construction).
The provisions address both traditional ‘timber-frame’ and ‘massive timber’ systems such as cross-laminated timber (CLT) with the use of appropriate layers of fire-protective grade plasterboard (i.e. fire-protected timber) and the use of NCC compliant fire sprinkler systems.
This seminar will be delivered by Boris Iskra (FWPA) and Paul England (EFT Consulting) who were principally involved in the development and submission of the NCC proposal on behalf of FWPA and will provide attendees with the knowledge to confidently implement the NCC changes.
