TechTalk

The National Construction Code and Australian Standards

7/12/2020

The Australian construction industry references a variety of important technical documents. The most prominent industry documents used in Australia are the National Construction Code and the Australian Standards. All buildings in Australia must comply with the requirements outlined within the National Construction Code and the referenced documents therein.

 

In this episode, your host Elizabeth McIntyre and Think Brick’s senior structural engineer, Michael Koungras will introduce you to these important technical documents for all building construction in Australia, covering:


  • The history of the National Construction Code;
  • The difference between the National Construction Code and an Australian Standard;
  • Understand how standards are developed and reviewed in Australia;
  • The minimum performance requirements of the National Construction Code;
  • How to comply with the National Construction Code through Deemed to Satisfy Solutions; and
  • The difference between an acceptable construction manual and acceptable construction practice
