Scenario
Recall the new home and garage that Sullivon Constructions is building
for David and Tara King in earlier assessments. Jai, the builder for
Sullivon Constructions, is responsible for planning and overseeing the
construction of this project. In this process, Jai needs to check that the
construction of the house and garage meets the requirements of the
NCC.
In order to ensure all aspects of the buildings are compliant, Jai will
refer to the:
 relevant part of Volume 2 for each aspect of the building project
 related performance criteria that specify the NCC/BCA requirements
for building items
 deem-to-satisfy (DTS) provisions that are considered to be
acceptable forms of construction to meet the NCC/BCA performance
requirements
 relevant Australian Standards for the construction methods and
materials used.
Below is the table Jai will use to ensure his project is compliant with the
NCC/BCA. Complete the table by referring to a copy of the NCC/BCA Volume 1
and Volume 2 and identifying each area for compliance.
To complete the Part B table below, you need to:
 Select two (2) examples of possible building elements and list the relevant
NCC/BCA section name & reference/part number, that sets out the
requirements for that element
 List the NCC/BCA performance requirement, name & reference number
 List two NCC/BCA DTS provisions
 List the name & number of the relevant Australian Standards for the DTS
provisions listed. An example is provided:
