Haha, just one more loop hole for the unscrupulous builders out there.

Re: Photos of 50mm fall to concrete apron 56Mar 07, 2018 10:16 am Liliana Simondsbuild1, if you are in an area with highly reactive soil the VBA actually issued a document in August of 2015 stating that you need to ensure that: there is a minimum slope of 70mm for the first metre away from the house in very reactive soils. see: http://www.vba.vic.gov.au/__data/assets ... _FINAL.pdf Hi Liliana, The linked VBA document is a very good guide but that is all it is...a Guide. It has no legal standing. The VBA has always been high on rhetoric but low on enforcement and spot inspections. 3in1 Supadiverta. Rainwater Harvesting Best Practice using syphonic drainage.

Is it ignorance or a tactic so that if owners do end up doing their own concrete paving inline with the CSIRO instead of the NCC then the builders can say, in the event of slab heave, well you didn't follow the NCC compliance requirements. You know the CSIRO is hugely different and says concrete paving can be 10mm below base of weepholes, where the NCC and Aus Standards say 75mm. Terribly that the CSIRO is still being circulated.

It would be easy to stick a notation in the document that stated the actual regulation. It would also be easy to update the CSIRO document. It is well known within the industry that the CSIRO document contains this serious misinformation. 3in1 Supadiverta. Rainwater Harvesting Best Practice using syphonic drainage.

Just read through all the ncc rules and 75mm is the minimum requirement for me. 4 11111 Thank you Splashers. Tomorrow I might check if I can get a few packs of 300x300 in the same tile finish. It may be good to use these could in the shower recesses. I'm not… 4 4660 I've got a challenge here.
