This paper is a research and production of a photographic technical report on wall, floor and roof framing for residential and commercial low rise construction using the four step construction process of wall, floor and roof framing.
The set of residential plans from a multi-unit development at Kangaroo Road in Hughesdale and power points of framing used in construction, plus power points of wall, floor and roof framing, were included in
this report.

Relevant Australian Standards were also referenced in this report, as well as learning guides supplied by Holmesglen and loaded onto Brightspace.

The Framing Report included the following areas of construction;

• Sub Floor Construction in Timber and Steel Floor Systems

• Walls systems constructed directly on concrete slab and bearers and Floor Joists, ... Including upper Storey Wall Construction in both Timber and Steel;

• Roof Systems constructed with both Trusses and Conventional Framing;

o Structural performance of cladding used for frame bracing per standards, codes and manufacturer specifications.

Initially, this report was to focus on a property at 45 FOUNTAIN DVE, NARRE WARREN VIC 3805.
Consequently there are photos of earlier steps in the process. The footing system selected was a
WAFFLE RAFT POD. The Building Classification was Class 1a four townhouse with class 10a garages.
There was a DEMOLITION of the previous 3 Bed residential home; and a RETAINING WALL was also
constructed on the western boundary of the site.
Also reference is made to the accompanying STRUCTURAL DRAWINGS of a two storey Class 1a
dwelling – with a H! soil classification and its accompanying engineered slab solution with an attached
SLAB PLAN.
Step 1 - conduct a pre-commencement site inspection to confirm footing systems can be laid that will
support the building to be constructed;
Step 2 – check the setout is in accordance with the projects plans and specifications;
Step 3 – ensure the site classification is in accord with the foundation soil per the Geotechnical report
and AS2870. The Foundation of the earth and soil type will influence the type of Footings systems and
any Slab that is being considered.
Step 4 – ensure the concrete strength and the associated reinforcement requirements, is consistent with
the footing system and construction type per the NCC, relevant Australian Standards in particular AS2870
including:
Cover between edge of reinforcement and outside of concrete – refer to Fig C5.2 AS2870
• Slab Fabric Designation
• Trench Mesh Designation
• Straight Bars designation
• Bar Chairs and Spacers
• Lapping of Fabric Reinforcement and Trench Mesh

Step 5 – Analyse the footing systems available with the building design and ensure either of the six footing
systems (see below) is per project plans, specifications, relevant building standards and AS2870:
Waffle Pod
Stiffened Raft Slab
Slabs with deep edge beams on fill
Strip Footings and
Suspended Slabs
Ensure concrete poor and concrete slab finishing are performed correctly;
service penetrations through concrete slabs and beams are performed correctly; and
termite protection (ant caps, pipe service collars, slab perimeter protection) is performed correctly.
Step 6 – analyse the design and integrity of pieers and piling systems and ensure they are compliant with
plans, specifications, relevant building codes and standards:
Mass Concrete Bored Piers;
Reinforced concrete piers and beams; and
Screw and Piling systems.
Step 7 – dealt with a scenario where a pre-inspection site check revealed a defect needing to be
remedied; and then later upon rectification by the concretor, notification that the work was ready
for the Stage Inspection.

Students are to research and evaluate philosophies relating to education. Students will have formed a personal opinion about the importance of music education, and have experienced and viewed effective teaching strategies that they may incorporate into their own future experiences as a music teacher. In your essay list the reasons why you think music education should be part of the curriculum, plus what teaching strategies you find useful and why you would use them if you were to teach.

Outline how philosophy was created, and discuss the differences between Classical, Renaissance, Modern, Chinese, Indian, and Western philosophies. Critically reflect on how previous philosophies affect current day theories and their influence on musical development. Describe Ethics, Metaphysics, and Pragmatism, and discuss their individual value and differences.
