=Its not that hard to work out how the rondo maxIframe system can

save you tIme and money.With the Rondo MAXIframe External Wall Framing

System, you can achieve increased performance capacity

while using less product.

Its a simple, cost-effective system thats quick and easy

to install and consists of two major profiles, MAXIjamb

and MAXItrack. Together with three complementary

cleats, they provide a simple, solid structure that not

only outperforms typical boxed stud configuration, but

also reduces the required number of noggings, saving

both time and money.

The jamb stud, MAXIjamb, can be used both as a

vertical jamb member to openings, or as a horizontal

head or sill member in window openings.

This reduces the necessity for multiple stud configura-

tions, such as boxed or back to back.

The MAXIframe system also integrates Rondos

MAXItrack, a slotted deflection head track which

offers increased capacity at the head connection,

allowing studs to be screw-fixed to the track, reducing

the need for stud realignment after other trades have

put through their services, and eliminating the need to

install an additional nogging directly below the head

track providing both labour and material cost savings.

Visit our website to visually experience a typical

MAXIframe installation, or talk to your local Rondo

representative to find out more.

4 WA BuildIT 2013

Welcome to the fourth edition of BuildIT in Western Australia.This publication is designed to save you valuable time by giving you ready access to specialist contractors and suppliers to assist you with your next construction project.

To have a hard copy booklet of this quality is a valuable addition to our Associations range of publications. With rapidly changing work methods, new technical regulations and an extremely competitive industry, you need to be able to quickly track down people with the right skills and products. BuildIT satisfi es this need, being a useful tool for members to help fi nd other members, and for building clients to fi nd builders, specialist contractors and consultants in WA.

This latest hard copy publication reminds us that we have not yet moved to a completely paperless society. A quality hard copy publication in colour with handy contact details will always retain its importance and popularity.

This year weve bolstered this publication to include even more member contact information to assist readers. BuildIT supplements some of our new online initiatives at Master Builders, which give customers greater access to our members. Online at www.mbawa.com we have a popular A-Z building directory which gives you convenient access to information (on over 250 building topics) from alternative solutions to windows to energy effi ciency options. Plus, a regularly updated Find a Member service provides contact details for Master Builders members around the state. Use these resources to your advantage and they will help you make the most out of your Master Builders membership.

As always, I welcome feedback from members in response to this promotional magazine, which showcases a diverse range of reputable businesses in WA.Many thanks to our publishers, Crowther Blayne, in putting BuildIT together for our mutual benefi t.

8 WA BuildIT 2013

Excellence in the building and construction industry is recognised by Master Builders with a series of awards presented during the year. These awards give builders, subcontractors and apprentices the opportunity to showcase their workmanship to industry colleagues and prospective clients. Winners may advance to our national awards for further recognition.

Master Builders - Bankwest Excellence in Construction AwardsSince 1989, the Master Builders Excellence in Construction Awards have been recognised as the hallmark event for the commercial, industrial and civil engineering sectors. Entries are received in categories such as new construction, renovation and refurbishment, building fitouts, multi-residential buildings and civil engineering structures, and are judged by an independent panel comprising representatives from Master Builders, Royal Australian Institute of Architects and Engineers Australia. The 2013 Master Builders-Bankwest Excellence in Construction Awards will be held at Perth Convention Exhibition Centre on Saturday 22 June. Entries opened in February 2013.

Master Builders Housing Excellence AwardsThe Master Builders Housing Excellence Awards were originally introduced in Western Australia in 1981. The Awards recognise the best builders based exclusively on their building excellence and quality of workmanship. A team of experienced building judges inspect nominations in new construction, display homes, renovations, single detached and group housing projects. The 2013 Master Builders Housing Excellence Awards were held at Perth Convention Exhibition Centre on Saturday 23 February. Judging for the 2013 Awards took place in November 2012. Entries for the 2014 event will open in July 2013.

Awards Master Builders - Bankwest Regional Building Excellence AwardsMaster Builders-Bankwest Regional Building Excellence Awards are held in five areas to recognise excellence in construction across the State. These include the Kimberley-Pilbara, South West, Goldfields-Esperance, Great Southern and GeraldtonMidwest Regions.

Master Builders Apprentice of the Year AwardsThese Awards recognise the skills, commitment and work ethic of apprentices. By fostering the aspirations of apprentices and rewarding their achievements, the Awards seek to ensure a continuing high level of craftsmanship, and the emerging qualified tradespersons will help ensure the long term growth and sustainability of the building and construction industry. The Awards are normally held in November of each year, with entries open around July/August.

Ric New MedalThe Award recognises outstanding potential, innovation, creativity and achievement of a young person (aged 35 and under) in the context of their current and potential contribution to the building and construction industry or related professions in Western Australia. Emphasis is given to the persons practical applied achievements, focusing on their creativity and innovativeness, rather than academic achievements.

Ric New Rising Star AwardThe Award recognises outstanding potential, work ethic and commitment of a young person (up to 25 years of age) in the context of their current and future contribution to the building and construction industry in Western Australia. The focus is on practical achievement, overcoming adversity and potential contribution to the building industry rather than academic performance.

Master Builders Technical keeps you informed and provides technical services and support for members.

Private CertificationPrivate Certification allows a private building surveying practitioner to certify the design of a building for its compliance with the Building Code of Australia. It is hoped Private Certification will bring about a reduction in approval times for building approvals and bring us in line with our eastern states counterparts.

Building Code of Australia The Building Code of Australia can provide some challenges for compliance for building projects. The design team needs timely advice on compliance matters early and throughout the design process. Master Builders have teamed with consultants to provide certification and assessment services for new and existing buildings at member rates.

advice and assessment reports BCA compliance of existing buildings

It was in these years that Brad got to work on a range of large projects ranging from multi level sky scrapers to cinema complexs and the commissioning of the Australian Embassy in Jakarta; in the later years he had a short spell in Broome working on a wide range of equipment and later even completed some minesite maintenance on a couple of gold mines.

Stinson Air started off as subcontractors to the big boys learning along the way and improving where they could, before they knew it the subcontracting stopped as they strained to keep up with their own contracts. Travel forward from 1995 until today and business is booming, Stinson Air have sold, installed and maintained thousands of air conditioners to homes and commercial sites around the metro area. They have even completed contracts as far away as Broome, The Pilbara, Kalgoorlie and Yallingup. Projects include multi million dollar deals such as a Daikin promotion with Western Australias most awarded home builder, a massive contract to install air conditioning for a new homes project for Rio Tinto housing in Karratha and many large commercial and residential multi unit developments. As well as taking on the larger projects Stinson Air are still just as at home installing a single wall mounted split system in a small bedroom.

For details of our unmatched selection, premium-quality, supply reliability and enduring good looks, call us now on 1300 360 344 or visit our comprehensive website at brikmakers.com at any time.

Today, Brikmakers is the most modern and technologically advanced manufacturer of its type in Western Australia. And the company has grown to deliver the expansive range and world-class quality of cleaner, greener products on which modern residential and commercial consumers now insist. You dont have to cast your mind too far back to recall the days when the State was importing bricks via ships from the Eastern States because local Western Australian suppliers couldnt keep up with burgeoning demand.As well as creating costly and frustrating delays across the construction industry, the situation highlighted the supply-demand imbalance in the Western Australian brick market and the cost and quality disadvantages it caused many local consumers. BGC changed this landscape permanently in 2009 with the launch of its innovative manufacturer, Brikmakers. As the largest greenfi elds clay brick plant ever constructed in Australia, Brikmakers has the only facility with three kilns operating on the one site.The proud, local companys range of outstanding clay and masonry products is comprehensive and includes clay face bricks, clay internal and render bricks and concrete masonry face and render bricks.Brikmakers also produces paving bricks in a range of colours, sizes and textures, along with reconstituted limestone retaining wall blocks, for use in a wide range of applications.But its not just production excellence and an exemplary product selection which ensure it stands apart from and above its local and national competitors.

As a modern quality brick and paving producer, Brikmakers operates at the industry Best Practice standard with state-of-the-art kilns which consume less energy per tonne of product manufactured than do those of the older kilns in operation elsewhere. The bottom line is, Brikmakers generates far fewer greenhouse gas emissions than older brick kilns. The environmental benefi ts also fl ow from Brikmakers purpose-built gas scrubber, which fi lters impurities released when clay bricks are fi red. This combination of modern kilns and the advanced scrubbing equipment enables the company to achieve low and most stringent emission limits. Satisfying demand in the brick-making business is essentially about consistency of product quality and reliability of supply.

Brikmakers performance on both these fronts is underpinned by its ownership of vast proven sustainable reserves of clay. Brikmakers started actively exploring for suitable clays in 2003 and now has established reserves of most of the materials required to meet its needs for the next twenty years, all conveniently and economically located in its home State of Western Australia.

The Brikmakers range of products and services is as extensive as its high-quality and includes: Claybricks.Whether youre building something contemporary or traditional, youre sure to fi nd the perfect brick to suit your design amongst their range of classic face bricks and two-course face bricks.Brikmakers also has a full range of complementing accessories.Feature Claybrick.With their unique fi nishes and distinct colours, the Feature Brick Collection is guaranteed to catch the eye.

If youre a contractor, just ask for a copy of the Rondo Warranty where you buy your finishing beads.

If youre a builder, protect yourself and your client and ask to see your contractors copy

What you really need to know about Coating Systems for Cement Render

At Dulux AcraTex weve been designing specialist finishing systems for new construction for over 3 decades and working with Building Partners to deliver total peace of mind with fit for purpose coatings specifications.

Traditional masonry construction has stood the test of time supported by dedicated trades however, increasingly the need for Efficiency and Fast Track projects push Designers and Builders to challenge finishing processes to deliver projects on time and on budget particularly in Residential construction.

Inherently cement render forms a strong but rigid matrix requiring specific attention to maintain durability and aesthetics. Through the 1970s the evolution of what we now term Acrylic Textures occurred to meet the demands of rigid sand and cement where low build paints failed. Fast forward to today and the lessons of the past are repeating where paint systems are inappropriately specified.

Quality Builders specify flexible acrylic textureArchitectural trends today see more Coloured Render facades and Acrylic Texture options now include flexible trowel applied coatings that deliver proven performance with the traditional look of rendered surfaces. Its critical in specifying such finishes to understand the performance the industry has come to rely on is delivered through Flexible Acrylic Texture and not to generalise with specification clauses such as Rendered Facade or Coloured Render allowing low build painted render systems to be substituted.

What Experience tells us1. Cement Render is hard and brittle and forms cracks over time due to both cement shrinkage and expansion & contraction. Pre-bagged cement renders, some termed Acrylic or Polymer Renders, are often specified with the expectation that they are flexible however typically the polymer content is too low to significantly change the properties of the cement binder.

2. Cement Render is suitable as a base levelling layer over stable porous masonry prior to subsequent high build Acrylic Texture and Elastomeric coating systems. Low build (paint) systems over new cement render are prone to cracking and are not recommended by Dulux.

3. Fresh Cement Render is highly alkaline and subsequent Efflorescence must be controlled. AS2311, guide to Painting of Buildings defines a min. 28 day wait time before coating which is often impractical. Dulux AcraTex green Render Sealer allows painting over cement render after only two days (subject to drying) and chemically restricts efflorescence staining.

4. Where weatherproofing Topcoats are installed over Flexible Acrylic Texture, scheduling and colour consistency across the project is simplified and system durability is extended. Upper and lower storey work is sometimes staged weeks or months apart leading to colour inconsistencies of un-top coated texture.

Kulin Group is a Specialist Contracting Company that was formed in 1988 to service the Construction, Mining, Resources & Marine Industries in Western Australia.

Kulin Group has since evolved into a Company that provides innovative and cost effective remedial engineering solutions across the specialist contracting eld as well as the supply and installation of the quality AFS Logicwall system to the construction industry in both Western Australia and the Northern Territory. Kulin Group has steadily expanded to be regarded as one of the most respected Specialist Contractors in Australia. We have established an excellent safety record as well as implementing quality systems to meet Australian Standards.

The evolution of Kulin Group has also allowed us to form a synergy between the various specialist contracting services we provide and the structural wall installation works associated with new construction.

Kulin Groups Core Services are:Structural Concrete RepairThe durability and integrity of concrete can be compromised for a variety of reasons and this may have a detrimental effect on its structural capabilities. Dependant upon service conditions and environmental exposure concrete cancer and spalling due to reinforcement bar corrosion may be active. This may result in the necessity to carry out repair to concrete elements to reinstate its structural integrity.

AFS Logicwall SystemThe AFS Logicwall system consists of a lightweight bonded wall panel that is erected on site by our trained installers. Once braced into position, reinforcement steel is installed into the hollow panel along with any necessary electrical and plumbing services. The wall panel is then core- lled with concrete for structural integrity.

Cathodic ProtectionOngoing corrosion of steel reinforcement and ancillary equipment can result in the deterioration of a concrete structure through concrete cancer and spalling. Due to limited accessibility, service environment or ongoing environmental exposure (or a combination of all of these) it may not be possible to undertake conventional protective coating or concrete repair works on a regular basis.

Waterproof Membrane SystemsDamage by water and moisture ingress over time can have a severely detrimental effect on the integrity, performance and ongoing service life of a wide variety of structures. Given that the deterioration may occur in differing environments and conditions there is a selection of waterproo ng systems and moisture tolerant products available to ensure all performance criteria are met.

Precision GroutingGiven the considerable capital expenditure that industry spends throughout Australia on equipment and machinery, it is critical that the installation of each component is completed to the highest possible standard.

Protective CoatingsDepending on the environment to which concrete and steel are subjected to during service, their deterioration can have a detrimental effect on both structural integrity and environmental compliance.

Epoxy Crack InjectionThe cracking of concrete can not only have an immediate impact upon the load bearing capabilities, and therefore the performance of the structure, but prolonged exposure to the service environment and elements can also cause deterioration of the concrete matrix and corrosion activity in the reinforcement steel that may result in concrete cancer and spalling.

Abrasive Blasting & CoatingGiven Kulin Groups prominent history in providing specialist contracting services for the construction, mining, resources and marine industries they have experience in undertaking abrasive blasting and industrial coating works on a wide variety of structures in diverse locations throughout Western Australia and the Northern Territory.

BlueScope Steel develops longer-lasting ZIncAluMe steel BlueScope Steel is preparing to roll-out a third generation of its iconic ZINCALUME steel. It features a patented new coating that has a smaller environmental impact* and increases its durability.

BuIldInG SuPPlIeS

Next generation ZINCALUME steel featuring Activate technology will enter production in the second quarter of 2013, bringing to fruition almost 20 years of efforts by BlueScope Steel to develop a longer-lasting metallic-coated building product. BlueScope Steel Market Manager - Commercial and Industrial -, Manu Siitonen, said BlueScope Steel has invested over $100 million in perfecting a better ZINCALUME steel product. He said the breakthrough metal coating formulation of next generation ZINCALUME steel improves the already high corrosion performance of the current product.

ZINCALUME steel is renowned in Australian building and architectural circles for the galvanic action of the zinc in its coating, which gives it a self-sealing property and increases its lifespan, said Mr Siitonen.

With next generation ZINCALUME steel, we have perfected a new formula that improves the galvanic action of the zinc. With the addition of a new magnesium compound, it activates the aluminium in the coating composition to provide even more effective corrosion resistance. The result is a product that is more resilient when drilled, cut or scratched. Ultimately, the chemistry of next generation ZINCALUME steel metal coating formulation makes it stronger in harsh construction environments and opens up the possibility of new applications for builders and specifiers.

The improved coating also enables a more efficient use of natural resources through the reduced use of zinc and aluminium, lessening next generation ZINCALUME steels environmental impact.

Next generation ZINCALUME steel metal coating formulation has undergone 10 years of accelerated laboratory testing and 17 years of environmental field testing to ensure it exceeds the durability of the current ZINCALUME steel product.

The corrosion resistance of the new coating technology has been proven by testing more than 5000 panels in a wide variety of laboratory and real world climatic conditions. Product durability team leader Tahnee Lowe has been monitoring the progress of next generation ZINCALUME steel for the past six years.

Our heavy emphasis on real-world field testing of new products contrasts with other manufacturers who predominantly assess small test panels using accelerated weathering techniques to fast-track durability results. Several decades of product testing experience has taught BlueScope Steel that accelerated testing is useful in initial phases of development, but is no substitute for the assurance that comes from many years of field testing, said Ms Lowe.

As a result of our comprehensive testing process, we are confident that next generation ZINCALUME steel will be more durable, provide a reduced environmental impact* and maintain its renowned aesthetic appearance.

In 1990 BlueScope Steel began laboratory experiments with new formulations that have eventually led to the next generation of ZINCALUME steel.

The first full scale production trial was conducted in 1995 and samples from this era remain on exposure at outdoor test sites.

When we assessed the panels 10 years later, relative to dozens of other experimental formulations, we realised our initial theories were confirmed, Ms Lowe said.

When we compared the corrosion performance of next generation ZINCALUME steel with the current product, we found the biggest improvement in the most severe environments such as surfaces which are unwashed by rainfall and also subject to air pollution.

The superior corrosion resistance of next generation ZINCALUME steel was confirmed via independent testing conducted by the internationally recognised French Corrosion Institute. Manu Siitonen says the new product is a response to emerging building requirements necessitating advances in areas such as material efficiency, durability and sustainability.

To adequately address changes in the building industry such as site and location variations, as well as changes to regulations, it is imperative that todays building products are constantly improving in line with evolving industry standards.

Essentially, next generation ZINCALUME steel is a better product that caters for current and future advances in the building industry.

It will have a real impact on the market when it is released in mid-2013, he said. Since its launch in 1976, ZINCALUME steel has been a standard-setter amongst steel roofing, cladding and construction products. In 1994, second generation ZINCALUME steel was launched, featuring the addition of a resin coating that improved mark resistance, and made the steel easier to handle and roll-form.
