Wall & Ceiling Specification to NCC 2022 – Pathways to Compliance & Performance


BY

May 4th, 2023


Session Synopsis

For Australian architects and specifiers, the task of navigating a way through the National Construction Code (NCC) can sometimes be difficult.

Take walling systems as an example. As per the NCC, the regulations vary depending on the type of system involved – whether it’s a steel framed wall system, a timber framed wall system, a concrete / masonry wall system, an external wall system, or indeed a ceiling system.

Then, consideration must be given to Structural requirements (NCC Section B) Fire performance walls (NCC Section C), Water/mould resistance & acoustic performance (NCC Section F), thermal performance walls (NCC Section J), Impact Resistance, and more.

Then again, you need to decide whether you meet regulations via. Deemed to Satisfy (DTS) or Performance solutions. Which all adds up to a lot of complexity and the possibility of error (and non-compliance). This session is intended to help remove some of that complexity and highlight practical pathways to compliance and performance when specifying walling systems.
