Practical and on-site

This pillar is sequenced by the job itself: site establishment, foundations, frame, lock-up, fit-out, and handover. Each article covers what happens on site, what the code requires at that phase, and where the common mistakes occur. The framing articles reference AS 1684.2 for unseasoned timber and AS 1684.3 for seasoned. The waterproofing articles reference AS 3740. The tiling articles reference AS 3958.

It is for builders and their site supervisors who want a reference they can use on the job, not in a study room. Coverage spans Class 1a residential new builds and alterations and additions, with notes on Class 2 differences where they matter (common property interfaces, fire separation, penetrations through floors and walls). Articles include typical defect patterns, inspection hold points, and practical tolerance guides drawn from AS 3958.1 and AS 4349.

Chalkline writes for builders who already know which end of a nail gun is which. No padding, no basics explained at length. Just the reference you need when the frame inspection is tomorrow.
