Question 1 (refer to Project 3)
Develop a plan to demolish the existing dwelling shown on the site plan in accordance with the legislative and planning requirements and at all times utilising safe work practices. The dwelling will have been constructed from some building materials containing bonded asbestos.
In your plan, list the relevant Acts, Australian Standards and Codes with which the processes will need to comply.
Note: This is not a sketch, but a set of steps outlining your approach. You might include a sketch to indicate specific requirements of the demolition process.
Question 2 (refer to Project 3)
From the project documentation, identify the loads the building will be subjected to during its life. Prepare a simple sketch of a section passing through the centre of the dwelling and showing the structural elements of the building.
Draw arrows on the section to show the direction the load path will take to transfer the loads to the foundation of the building. Your illustration(s) should deal with wind loads as well as dead and live loads.
Question 3 (refer to Project 1)
Research and list the Building Code of Australia requirements for the dwelling to be built within the following zones:
- Bushfire (medium risk)
- High wind
- Earthquake
- Alpine area (NSW)
Question 4 (refer to Project 1)
A site inspection is necessary prior to tendering or commencing construction on a project to assess the natural and developed features of the site which will contribute to the cost and/or planning of the construction.
Consider the site of the dwelling is vacant and you are intending to tender on the construction of the building. Create a checklist for a preliminary site inspection of the site which could be used on future projects. The checklist should be word processed and incorporate tables where suitable.
Provide a sketch of the site clearly showing salient features such as:
- vegetation
- rock features
- existing services
- improvements such as fences and existing buildings
- orientation
- contours
Question 5 (refer to Project 1)
Prepare a list and description of all the relevant services required or likely to be installed in and around the building and note any special provisions needed. For each service, list the Australian Standard or Code with which the service must comply.
Question 6 (refer to Project 1)
Prepare a checklist to ensure the quality of each of the following systems to the building:
- footing
- floor
- walls
- roo
