Building Classifications

[@Nickanoms88]

Your channel is a really good resource for any building student or weekend warrior looking to learn something new or to get a refresher. I've referred quite a few to your channel over the years and will continue to do so, cheers for the resources.

[@Buildsum]

Hi Nick, Thanks for the comment and thanks for passing the information on to others. I hope they all find it useful.

[@ZoomStranger]

Super video! I applauded for A$5.00 👏👏

[@Buildsum]

Thanks Mate

[@ZoomStranger]

Thanks Buildsum - another excellent resource - better value than I'm getting out of Master Builders Association for $42 a month.

[@Buildsum]

Thanks Mate, pity your not getting the value out of the MBA

[@stephenstowers5630]

Thank you. Just moved over from NZ to Melbourne. Wanting to learn as much I can about how it's done here before I start work next year. Your Channel is awesome

[@Buildsum]

Thanks Mate, great to hear that the videos are useful. Thanks for your comment.

[@mskrizh6852]

loved this video. much knowledge for a basic person!

[@Buildsum]

Thanks Mate, I'm glad you like it.

[@sihyunlee3101]

Very helpful. You're better than my TAFE teacher

[@Buildsum]

Hi Mate, where do you go to TAFE, hopefully it is not my college.

[@robdl9149]

Does a 10a have to be built on stumps or does it have to be completely freestanding or can the bearers be placed on concrete blocks and if so is there requirements around this part of the project?

[@Buildsum]

Hi Rob, I would say that they would have to be freestanding as if they were attached they would probably fall under the classification of the rest of the building unless they constituted greater then 10% of the total floor area. The method of construction is not going to matter to the classification of the building.

[@trudyb8810]

Where I live there are ground level villas & townhouses, the only exception is three ground floor villas are situated under the balconies of the three townhouses above. Is this site classified as Class 1 or 2?

[@Buildsum]

Hi , If they are only under the balcony I would think that they would still classify as Class 1. Is this in Australia, if not these classifications wont apply.

[@trudyb8810]

@@Buildsum Yes, in Sydney, NSW.

[@wheres_bears1378]

Do you have any videos where you check plans for compliance with the ncc ?

[@Buildsum]

Hi Sam, if you are getting the plan prepared professionaly they should be NCC compliant however i dont have any videos like that.

[@wheres_bears1378]

Buildsum thats ok it was more for educational purposes as I’m studying a tafe unit about applying ncc to low rise buildings and was just seeing if you had lessons on cross checking plans ..... that’s ok ... very good channel I always watch it

[@yamaha986nayamaha5]

Hi John. Could you please provide any link or information how to inspect a timber frame at a frame stage.I mean what are the things to look for like tiedowns, wall bracing, etc etc.I know most of them should be in engg drawings but I am looking more of a checklist which may be missed during an inspection stage.

[@Buildsum]

Hi Mate, I don't have one but a quick Google search found this, www.qbcc.qld.gov.au/sites/default/files/Guide%2004%20Timber%20Frame%20Completion%20Checklist_BLANK.doc is that something like what you are after.

[@yamaha986nayamaha5]

Buildsum Thanks Mate.

[@betterman4444]

Excellent, excellent instructional video, thanks heaps.

[@Buildsum]

Hi Joe, I'm glad you enjoyed it

[@minhuhh]

Great video, preferred this over the one recommended by HIA for the Cert 4 Building course!

[@Buildsum]

Hi Mate, Awesome, thank you!

[@daniamalik8588]

indeed. Detail information here

[@farhadissac284]

Like all of your videos amazing Thank you,

[@Buildsum]

Hi Farhad, thanks for your comment, I'm glad you like them.

[@tefomotladi8642]

very informative

[@Buildsum]

Thanks Mate.

[@NobukiPhu]

So the separation between class 2 and class 3 could be seen as time?

[@Buildsum]

Hi Mate, I guess you could given that larger houses are sometimes converted into a boarding house or guest houses however it is more about the use of the building and the relationship between the occupants. Remember, the different classes have different construction requirements that need to be adhered to.

[@NobukiPhu]

Yeah right. I guess the point I am trying to understand is, (I believe) Single leap is classified as a Class 3, however, I have resided in the same room for 3 years. I can see how it could be deemed "workers quarters" but they aren't really short term, are they?

[@Buildsum]

Hi Mate, Yes Single leap would be Class 3. The description of Class 3 actually says, " place of long-term or transient living for a number of unrelated people".

[@NobukiPhu]

Yeah, right. Cheers brother.

[@dantheman3022]

Nice vid. So does a retirement home complex fall into (1a,2,3), or (9c). Is it 9c only if special equiptment is needed or is it specialised personnel facilities etc ? This is baffling me.

[@Buildsum]

Thanks, Dan, I would say 9c for sure. This might help www.abcb.gov.au/-/media/Files/Resources/Education-Training/Building-classifications.pdf

[@MrTomcat124]

dan themas, Building can have multi building classifications. eg. Multi unit apartments can be Class 2 and class 7a classifications.

[@krismou9332]

Great video mate.

[@Buildsum]

Thanks, Mate.

[@noomyboy]

Thank you I learn a lot.👍

[@Buildsum]

Thanks, Mate, Glad you liked it.

[@harmonydirectmusictherapya8021]

What is the classification for a playground?

[@Buildsum]

I think Class 10b would be the best fit.

[@lukesherrard2704]

What would the classification be if an appartment was built on top of offices? Class 2 and class 5 or a single classification? Excellent video.

[@Buildsum]

Hi Luke, thanks for your comment, in this case, you would have to have multiple classifications in the one building. In this case, the apartment would be Class 4 with the rest of the building being Class 5 as you say. Hope this helps

[@astridhpachon7061]

Thank you for the video!!!

[@Buildsum]

Thanks Astridh

[@charliebrownau]

Gday Will we finally get a proper class for TINY HOMES so we can build a 1 story 1 car park 1 bin 1 bedroom tiny home on a normal block of land without the "need" for ANOTHER 1 story 3 bedroom home built

[@Buildsum]

Hi Charlie, Tiny homes are certainly becoming popular. I would think that they would still come under the Class 1 classification regardless of the size.

[@paigham1999]

it was very well explained. I studied for so long and still was struggling to remember it.

[@Buildsum]

Thanks mate, I'm glad it is helpful

[@applesonfire00]

Hey mate, this video is fantastic, very informative. Just wondering where universities/tertiary education buildings would fall under?

[@Buildsum]

Hi Jamie, it would depend on the specific use of the building however 9b would cover most of the buildings. This document may help. www.abcb.gov.au/sites/default/files/resources/2020//UTNCC_Building_classifications.PDF

[@basillatino7699]

thanks mate well explained

[@Buildsum]

Thanks, Basil

[@KingcadeHome]

thanks

[@TaMereEnSlip1167]

Really helpfull

[@fazalabbas9962]

what is the exception of class 9 b building

[@Buildsum]

Hi Fazal, I am not aware of any exception to Class 9b, if the building is not Class 9b then it must be another Classification.

[@charliebrownau]

Please consider upload to bitchute as a LOT of people are getting deplatformed and CENSORED on YT

[@Buildsum]

Hi Charlie, thanks for the suggestion, I will have to look into it.
