Browse Forums General Discussion 1 Feb 22, 2011 10:01 pm Hi Everyone I really need some help. Want to apply for the DA & CC but we need to submit "standard specifications" with non applicable items to be deleted. Does anyone know where I can get these standards. My husband and I will actually be building our home - not a kit, not subcontracting to a builder. I have searched all over the net and only references I can find are from builders. Please help Much appreciated. Re: Help Needed 2Feb 23, 2011 4:02 pm Who did your drawings? they should be able to supply the specifications. Regards The Harder You Try - the Luckier You Get !

Re: Help Needed 3Feb 23, 2011 8:24 pm Hi Bashworth The draftsman who did our floor plans and elevations didn't know what the council meant by requiring the two sets of "standard specifications" so he wasn't much help. Suppose you get what you pay for............... Will keep trying to find them online I suppose. Somebody must have them???

Re: Help Needed 5Feb 24, 2011 5:15 pm Are you talking about the standard notes that are for concrete, steel, timber etc.? Theses notes tell you want MPa your concrete need to be, whether your steel is galvanised and to what level etc. I would have thought the draftsman will have these on spec to just plonk onto his CAD drawings. Bashworth, is this what you're thinking? Re: Help Needed 6Feb 24, 2011 6:20 pm yes thats it The Harder You Try - the Luckier You Get !
