Project 1
This project is similar to the one you completed for the Module 4 assessment of this course (CPCCBC4010B Apply structural principles to residential low rise constructions).
For this project, you need to plan for the construction of the Greenwich Road Boarding House. Under the NCC/BCA this structure would be classified as a commercial Class 3 building as it is a ‘common place of long-term or transient living for a number of unrelated persons’.
Read the scenario below that relates to the building of the Greenwich Road Boarding House and complete the tasks that follow.
Scenario
Consider the plans for the Greenwich Road Boarding House which will be constructed in a high-wind, bushfire-prone area.Imagine that you are the licensed builder at Sullivon Constructions responsible for planning the building of this boarding house: Greenwich Road Boarding House plans.
Respond to the tasks below to ensure you apply all the correct structural principles to planning and constructing the boarding house. As the builder, you will also need to ensure the construction covers all the relevant NCC/BCA codes and Australian Standards.
Remember that you are planning to build in a high-wind, bushfire-prone area.
Complete the table below outlining the materials and performance characteristics for each structural system, and where you would seek expert advice.
An example is provided below.

Common system used |
Stone and bricks walling |
Structural walls are load bearing and therefore carry and transmit loads walls above them, slabs and beams to the floor which is possible due to their high compressive strength, hardness and durability. |
NCC/BCA V2 3.3 & 3.5 BAL 29 provision on EXTERNAL WALLS. Use of non-combustible wall material, sealing of joints and meshing of weep holes and vents. |

Demolition is the process of bringing down unwanted existing structures. Before conducting demolition the following factors should be considered:
a. Number of structures to be demolished.
b. Licence and details of the demolisher.
c. The extent of temporary fencing and hoardings
d. The sequence of operations involving the demolition.
e. Type of demolition.
f. Preservation of existing adjoining structures.
g. Notices for disconnection of electricity, water, gas and telecommunications from the relevant authorities
Due to the risky nature of the demolition process, health and environmental standards have to be complied with during the process. These include control measures for dust and noise, availability of amenities on-site, pest control for rats, diversion of traffic on site and notification of hazardous material to the authorities.
During site analysis, many factors are taken into consideration to establish the condition of a site. These factors include:
1. Condition of the site.
2. Site access points.
3. Effects of demolition on surrounding property.
4. Location of water draw-off point.
5. Required building materials
6. Sewer line position.
7. Position of power lines
8. Inspection of all preliminary works.
9. Size of the proposed structure.
1. Revisit the Greenwich Road Boarding Houseplansyou reviewed in Part A.
