Greetings,
According to AS 4773.2 - Masonry in small buildings
10.2 CAVITY
The cavity shall be free of obstructions that would allow the transfer of moisture across cavity, clean and continuous, and not bridged other than by ties or accessories, flashings, doors, windows, head jambs and sills.
I am advised by my inspector that the builder's plumber has breached BCA/NCC that mandated compliance AS 4773.2 and AS 3700 Masonry Structures Standards, by running gas, water pipes through and within the brickwork cavity.
I am surprised with this findings - i mean how else should pipework connect to a two-storey brick veneer house?
Any input is most appreciated
Thanks in advance!
