Re: Tip - always put a drain hole in the floor of your bathroom 19May 30, 2008 2:21 pm Cabinfever You mean they have building regulations in WA ? I'm surprised after some of the appalling collections of loose beams and sticks I've seen. Honestly I wouldn't know, certainly hope so as we're about to start building. They do have independent building inspection companies though to make sure things are to plan & also to industry standard. So I suppose there must be some "official building guidelines" out there LOL Re: Tip - always put a drain hole in the floor of your bathroom 20Jun 03, 2008 6:30 am We originally asked for drains to be installed in our house (in vic) and were put off as well. Because the house has a single slab base, the areas to be drained would of had to have been specially set to have the right angles to allow proper drainage. Then they also come under a stringent set of laws and since no-one is really doing them here and therefore specialising i think it ends up in the too hard basket. As for having different building codes in different parts of Aus. don't forget the differing climates. Having a polished concrete floor works well in Queensland where the humidity wrecks havoc with carpet but would be downright mad to have in Vic (or Tas). can’t tell from the photo, a tie down rod will be 12mm, is it a steel beam? he should be able to work it out 1 4439 Thanks for your advice.
