TechTalk

The National Construction Code - Comprehensive Guide

11/01/2021


The National Construction Code (NCC) provides the minimum necessary requirements for all new buildings and new building work in Australia. The NCC is a uniform document that sets technical provisions for building, plumbing and drainage installations throughout Australia, regardless of climate zone, geological or geographical locations.


In this episode, your host Elizabeth McIntyre and Think Brick’s senior structural engineer, Michael Koungras will introduce you to the structural, sustainability, safety, health, and amenity design requirements for masonry systems. The podcast encompasses the following topics:


  • Structural Design of Masonry Walls;
  • Fire Safety Design;
  • Acoustic Performance Provisions;
  • Energy Efficiency Requirements; and
  • Moisture Management Considerations.
