Site conditions, wind and roofing in Mickleham VIC

The bracing and tie-down schedule for your frame is designed against a wind classification under AS 4055, stated in your engineering. We check the fixings achieve what the plans require rather than assuming they do, because missing bracing has been our most serious recurring Mickleham finding. On the roof, unsealed penetrations and damaged sheets are what let weather through.

FAQ

Site conditions, wind and roofing in Mickleham VIC: common questions

What wind classification does Mickleham have?

It is site specific and stated in your engineering documents. We check the bracing and tie-down against whatever your plans specify rather than assuming a value.

Why does missing bracing matter so much?

Bracing is how the frame resists lateral wind load. Leaving some out changes the structural behaviour of the whole house.

Are roof penetrations a common problem?

Yes. Unsealed penetrations came up at pre-handover in Mickleham, and they are a direct water path.
