Thank you for the presentation, very informative. Could you please have more presentation about typical details and how to achieve compliance. Thanks again.

Kinda pointless when you don't ENFORCE these regulations. Builders and building surveyors in this state can be confident they can get away with non-compliance because VBA is unlikely to take meaningful action. I've had a complaint with the VBA about a serious breech covered by this video for well over a year and even after chasing my totally stalled complaint numerous times NOTHING came of it. The building was not halted. The parties responsible were not prosecuted. The non-compliant building has now been completed and affected parties like myself basically have no rights nor redress. There were no consequences for the building surveyor and builder. Big players know this and this actively encourages unethical behavior. Very disillusioned with our state regulator. I will of course amend/delete this comment if something worthwhile ever happens but I'm not holding my breath.

An informative presentation. As you noted the Rescode setback's Wedding Cake restricitons are by far the worst bit of planning legislation ever made in Victoria, resulting in a lack of innovation in building form, worse outcomes for structure, roof drainage and with the 7-star requirements even meeting energy rating is more problematic due to Rescode. A more sensible approach would be a right-to-light protection and minimum setbacks between buildings (at least on medium-large sites), with no tapered setbacks until you are at 4+ stories.

Or set out the first floor joists to align with the upper non load bearing, but braced walls. No brainer really.

Good idea VBA but hard to implement. Perhaps it is intended for Second dwellings to be built on 1 acre blocks on relatively flat land. Would love to know how many Second dwellings have been built in Victoria and the size of the land since the implementation of NCC 2022. Do keep records and happy to be proved wrong. Next time, engage an Architect to guide you.

You explained performance solutions really well. Thanks for that!

What will happen garage floor level is lower than the cross over level and if we want to keep the same level for the garage and the house? How we can prevent from water coming in? What is the builders responsibility?

I think, since this area of the building process is so most important, VBA should get someone who has enough experience and knowledge that the person can brief down these sections without having to read anything, which will make it more interactive for the people watching it and more interesting to watch and learn.

It would have been more interactive and interesting to watch if the presenter was saying all of this without looking too much on the screen.

Why does a single site building inspector find so many compliance issues in property already inspected & passed? Thousands of times across hundreds of properties? kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWiTq3uBiM98eLssi=v2Z-uNoKVQh10wCA

Vba is absolutely useless and do nothing about all the bad houses veing built

How is this possible on sloped block and the house is on stumps and is very high off the ground!!

Some points: The work by Dam Buster proves beyond any shadow of a doubt most of this waffle is totally unnecessary. There is simply no good reason box gutter design cannot be standardised. That is - to be sized for the maximum ARI of any given state and a maximum area draining to it. Quite simply a minimum depth of 200mm and width of 300mm at a fall of 1:100 nationally, and a maximum area (by state) draining to it. (a minimum fall of 1:200 should never be used - ponding occurs too frequently where dust/dirt is not removed - all reference to that fall should be removed from the standard). ONLY any gutter outside of that should require calculation/performance solution. The whole 'no change of direction' thing stems from a misinterpretation of the much earlier "Box gutters must be laid straight" (as in not having ~dips and bumps, NOT that it may not change direction). It needs to be rectified. Yes, water does indeed 'bank up' at a change in direction, but not appreciably at velocities seen in box gutters having a fall of 1:100.... A slotted overflow being permissible for a sump but not for a rainhead (which since it is required to be sealed to the box gutter is identical in function to a sump) is ludicrous. If - as in the earlier editions of the roofing code of practice - the rainhead was not sealed to the gutter (to provide for box gutter expansion), having an overflow open to atmosphere would make sense, but that is not the case we deal with today. Apart from that, a roofer is not typically consulted during the design phase - they normally only see a job after it is framed - usually according to drawings done by someone who puts a little qualifier on the plan "*roof to be laid to AS3500" but does not allow for it themselves.... And then if the roofer objects, the builder simply finds another roofer who will stick it on and run away.... That's to say - no amount of 'practitioner education' will solve the underlying problem of poor design. To fix it you need to make the standard easier for the average draftsman to understand - consider adopting my suggestions above. Feel free to reply here if you need anything clarified.

If my neighbours weren't such dibber dobbers, I would just build the damn thing. What a pain in the butt this is.

"Sanitary compartment" - because saying "room with a toilet in" is just barbaric 😂

could you have a small second house with the planning exemption on an allotment with an existing rooming house ?

Work is on the way -----INDEED --but work ""ON GOING ON HAND"" by Victorian small business construction industry trades and family projects ---NEED --immediate decisions or decision to be assessed and finalized within the legislated instruction of order ---order of a maximum of 45 days to be finalised of decision by the VBA

It is so hard to tell if you lot are corrupt or just incompetent

kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6CxaYZsrN2Zm5Ysi=71g1JRg9bjjgDmUq What a load of BS . This authority group needs a royal commission and every person sent to prison for their crimes that have affected the safety of victorians. I can’t believe that victorians voted for the criminal that was in office twice . Wtf is wrong with you

How ironic😂😂😂

Informative presentation for the owners of new constructions. Inspectors should already know how to identify these defects as part of a mandatory inspection. If they don't then I'm not sure how they got registered. Maybe an overhaul of the registration process for all RBP's should be considered.

"promo sm"

Thanks for sharing this webinar

They have to have an integrated systems between states and territories, to also, cather for the huge demand of BS going forward into the future

The typical response from the Victorian Government. Pretending to take action through reviews while allowing VBA-registered criminal businesses to continue harming the public (the customers). The VBA would have the power the prosecute building practitioners (including building surveyors), but they rather protect these businesses and leave it up to customers to fight over many years in courts for their rights. The VBA usually only issues minuscule fines of a few hundred dollars if they decide to take any action. That is not a deterrent. A complete failure of the VBA and the Victorian Government. The media will report on matters in detail and many heads at the VBA (and the Government) will roll as a consequence.

As a mature age male (46) I'm considering changing career and studying an advanced diploma building surveyor. What sparked my interest was the demand for more surveyors, however from what I've researched I haven't seen many cadet/traineeship advertised which is a major concern. And from the 2 comments this has confirmed what I'm researching. How can this be in demand when there's basically no one offering any cadet roles??

This is not quite correct anymore, particularly the areas where engineers perform mandatory inspections. Engineers are now registered professional engineers in Victoria and there is a category of structural engineer as well as civil, fire, mechanical, and electrical. To inspect in the building industry one must also be an endorsed building engineer in the relevant engineering discipline, only being registered as an engineer is insufficient.

what a joke! , as a building surveying student, very limit cadetship available in Victoria.

if ever I cant get to sleep, I'm going to listen to this!

I've been teaching this for ten years plus and guys never have I made it so boring and read from a script like this video, the building industry is exciting, act like it !

It is extremely difficult to find cadet building surveyor positions from local councils in VIC. Some positions are only available for female. I have to move to intestate in order to find a job

Just a fucking joke

Constant repetitive background music is both annoying and distracting. It also makes the speech harder to hear and understand.

very helpfull video but as from a site manager point of view, where can we get installation guides apart from material suppliers? Also what happens in the situation where the building is not seismic compliant but the new fit out calls for seismic?

The sole purpose of the Victorian government (and Australian federal government) is to extract every possible dollar, from every possible situation, and still have no accountability, and no way to hold anyone in government responsible for anything, nothing but passing blame to other departments. That’s life down under!

Andrew Cialini, I have sent you an email in relation to the VBA handling of a very serious issue, I look forward to your reply.

Thank you. Help full!
