Browse Forums General Discussion 1 Jul 27, 2019 7:57 am Good morning, As the title of the topic says, I used to be a drafter back home in Spain but now I just moved to Victoria and I'm starting to learn new concepts and standards here. I'm a bit lost with the standards measurements of basic staff like doors, windows,... I've been trying to look if there is any website with the standard construction here in Australia but I get lost. If anyone is kind enough to guide me to any website or book that I can find the information i'm required. I bought two books from Allan Staines: Owner builder & renovator and House Building Manual and both of them are very useful however I couldn't find all the relevant information i'm required. Thanks in advance for your help. Re: New Draftsman in Australia.
