I can't find anything regarding the walls on horizontal only vertical, with tiles I'm not sure what it will come under too as a defect? I'm also in SA, does this make a difference since the guide is for Vic? Seems really hard to find standards/codes online without paying for stuff. The Vic guide follows the Australian Standards which are applicable for SA. See page 48: "9.01 Verticality or plumbness of internal and external wall surfaces Wall surfaces are defective if they deviate from vertical by more than 5 mm over a 1.8 m straight edge. Refer to Diagram E on page 13 of this Guide. 9.02 Straightness of internal and external wall surfaces Walls are defective if they deviate from plane (bow) by more than 5 mm over a 1.8 m straight edge. This tolerance includes internal walls with a build-up of plaster at internal and external corners of the plasterwork."
