Re: Building Ridge RL and Max Height of Building over 8.5m!! 7Dec 06, 2021 12:22 pm dom0387 Any ideas how to calculate RL height and adjust it Hey Dom Sorry I didn't reply over the weekend. Am I understanding that you aren't still on working terms with your designer? reason being is that if she has the design in REVIT or a similar program it would be really easy to modify. If you are stuck with hard copies you might need to have someone redrawing those sections for you. It's a pain you are getting smashed for 4cm. We just had a DA knocked back, in part for the garage being 20cm x 20cm too big ( there were other reasons as well like the colour etc) Cheers Simeon Architectural Homes & Duplexes - specialising in custom designing homes to your budget Get a Free Onsite Consultation Today or send a PM for information, questions or advice. Re: Building Ridge RL and Max Height of Building over 8.5m!! 8Dec 06, 2021 5:32 pm All good mate,
Yeah we had many problems with the plans unfortunately that needed correcting, measurements, joists, materials, timber trusses, setbacks, missing tables and compliance notes, etc etc These were errors on the plans and missing pieces that took several months since January to correct and each time I spoke to a builder or certifier, or other trade a new issue would present itself. It has been extremely stressful and disappointing, I am not one to publicly expose someone however our designer had no idea and so many building codes and compliance errors were found and had to keep getting corrected, even simple things that took weeks/months to respond to us. In the end we got fed up over the almost year it took to get the design plans, and the constant wasted money redoing basix and engineering plans and certs because of it, so we obtained the .dwg cad files and had someone else correct a few things. Now we are just finalising the building height which is over by 40mm... I have someone working on it but wanted to post here for a second opinion on how the official correct way of calculating building RL height to max 8.5m in NSW should be done just to be 100% certain we are doing it correctly. It’s been a tough year and we are almost over the line now to get CDC to start building in the new year. Cheers Re: Building Ridge RL and Max Height of Building over 8.5m!! 9Dec 06, 2021 11:03 pm We've lowered the roof pitch from approx. 22.5 degrees or so down to 22.0 degrees (bringing the Ridge RL down by 60mm) and overall height of building is now 8.48m (below the 8.5m max height allowed). Hopefully this passes CDC now... If there have been changes, variations, during construction then the drawings should be revised, the building permit amended and the current, as built drawings given to… 2 4488 ok thanks - yes was wondering if that should have been listed as Option Three! 2 7743 I'll look into different shower heads and ask the plumber about some engineering and see what he says. Thanks 2 9565 |
