Building terminology
Is a railing supported by balusters, especially one forming an ornamental parapet to a balcony, bridge, or terrace.
When a new home need to be built, offset marks are placed in the ground so the builder knows where to place the structure.
The method often used to provide a level area on a sloping site, where part of the sloping surface is cut away and used to provide fill on the portion of the slope immediately below it.
Is the edge of a concrete slab that holds the fill under the slab and are usually used on blocks that require cut and fill to flatten the slope of the land.
Frontage is how wide your land is along the front boundary and depth is how far your land goes back. Multiple the two and you get the overall square meterage of your block. E.g. 15m x 30m = 450m,2.
New buildings can be protected from termites with one treatment of natural, non-toxic; Granitgard graded stone physical termite barrier material. This treatment is easily applied during construction and could save the building from destruction. With a wide range of simple installation methods that are fully approved, Granitgard can protect all common building designs. Granitgard offers long-life, one system termite protection without the worry of toxic chemicals, building schedule delays and on-going retreatment’s. Because Granitgard remains visible it is easy to determine whether an area has been properly protected.

Boarding or building felt fixed over the rafters of a roof before the tiles or slates are added.

The sewer diagram will help assess if there are any special requirements relating to Sydney Water’s sewerage system. A trained technician attends the property site and locates the sewer main and other sewer structures within the site. A peg out report is prepared showing the information collected including location, depth and size of pipe/structure and the strata in which the pipe is laid.
