A6. SUBCONTRACTORS
A6.1. GENERALLY
The Contractor shall bind all subcontractors by signed agreements, which shall include all conditions,
obligations and responsibilities, which he himself is bound under the Contract. The subcontract
agreements shall stipulate reasonable commencing and finishing dates for each subcontractor's work
and the order and manner for the carrying out the Works to conform to the Contractor's Program. No
subcontractor shall complete the unfinished work of any other subcontractor. No subcontractor shall
execute work, which conceals unfinished work of another trade or subcontractor.
The Owner shall be totally responsible to insure against any loss by theft or loss or damage from like
causes any work (for supply and/ or supply and install) executed under a separate contract and for any
equipment not forming part of the Works placed on the site by the Owner or its agents, separate
suppliers and/or contractors prior to the date of Practical Completion.
Should the work of any of the Owner’s suppliers and/or separate contractors hinder or interfere with the
progress of the Works the Contractor shall immediately notify the Architect in writing and request
instructions before proceeding.
Four (4) copies of shop drawings shall be submitted in ample time to allow for examination and any
necessary amendments and re submission to the Architect well before fabrication, none of which shall
be begun unless and until the shop drawings have been checked by the Architect. Shop drawings shall,
wherever possible, be compiled from actual measurements made on site, for which the Contractor shall
be responsible.
Should urgency necessitate shop drawings being compiled before building Works are sufficiently
advanced to enable site measurements to be made, then the shop drawings shall incorporate all
necessary tolerance allowances, modifications of fixing methods, and the like, thus provide for any
discrepancy which may arise between adopted dimensions and building Works executed later. The
Architect shall examine and promptly return two copies to the Contractor, signed and appropriately
endorsed, or accompanied by an appropriate letter. Where the Architect requires amendments to such
drawings, the amendments shall be made and submitted promptly.
The Contractor shall not stockpile, manufacture, assemble or supply anything affected by such
drawings, until he/she has obtained the Architect’s authorisation which shall not be unreasonably
delayed but delays caused by late submission or inadequacy or such drawings shall not be recognised
as a reason for variations to the Contract time or sum. Checking and review by the Architect of shop
drawings refers to general design only. If errors, omissions and interferences are noticed, they will be
brought to the Contractor's attention. Authorisation by the Architect of shop drawings will not in any way
relieve the Contractor from responsibility for such errors, omissions and interferences, or from the
necessity of furnishing such workmanship and materials as may be required for the completion of the
work in accordance with the Contract.
The margin for provisional sums and prime costs is only adjusted if the sum is increased at the time of
confirming costs as per item 23 of Schedule 1. If the cost at the time of confirming the costs is less than
what has been provisioned then the margin is not included in the contract sum adjustment and the
project margin remains the same as it was before the adjustment was made.
A7.2. INSTRUCTIONS
The Contractor shall not accept instructions relative to this Contract other than those in writing by the
Architect or on behalf of the Architect by such persons as shall be nominated in writing by the Architect
to the Contractor. Should the Contractor or any subcontractor or supplier respond to and proceed with
an instruction from any other party any resultant claims for additional cost as a variation to the Works will
not be accepted by the Architect
The inclusion in the minutes of any site meeting of an instruction given by the Architect shall not be
deemed an Architect's written instruction (“AI”) in accordance with Clause A. 7 of the SW-2008
Agreement. All AI’s shall be issued separately and in writing.
The Contractor shall periodically supply the Architect with a list of any required instructions and details,
in order of priority together with the latest dates on which such instructions and details are required.
Reasonable notice shall be given by the Contractor to allow time for response by the Architect.
A7.5. PUBLICITY
All publicity in regard to any aspect of the Project is to be arranged through the Architects. Under no
circumstances shall publicity of any description be undertaken by the Contractor or any subcontractor
without prior approval.
The Contractor shall ensure that all relevant subcontractors have allowed for and included the cost of
any and all inspections and testing required by authorities to enable the subcontractor to provide all
certificates of compliance for the various sections of the works. The certificates of compliance will be
provided by the Contractor to the Building Surveyor at the time of the application by the Contractor for
the Certificate of Occupancy.
This forecast shall be in the form of a cash flow schedule showing the break up all trades and monetary
sums forming the Contract Price. The schedule shall be updated by the Contractor as required to
maintain consistency with the construction program and when requested, revised versions of the
schedule shall be submitted to the Architect.
The Contractor shall obtain all other required permits and give all notices to the Building Surveyor, the
Municipal Council and any other authorities, make all necessary applications, obtain all necessary
licenses, consents and other permits in connection with this Contract, comply with all codes, by-laws,
building regulations and the regulations of all authorities having jurisdiction over the Works. The
Contractor shall allow for and pay all fees, security deposits, and other legal charges, as required by all
such authorities and as required by the drawings, this Specification and the ABIC SW-2008 Agreement.
The Contractor shall ensure all subcontractors comply with the provisions of this clause including any
payments required from relevant authorities to enable subcontractors to complete their sections of the
Works. Particular reference is drawn to the requirements of the electrical, gas and water supply
companies in relation to the supply of these services and the fees and regulations applicable to these
parts of the works. The Contractor shall protect as necessary, all public installations on or off the site
such as gas, water, electricity, sewerage, telephone, etc, that may be disturbed during the execution of
the Works and shall make good at his own expense any work damaged or disturbed to the satisfaction
of the appropriate authorities and the Architect.
The first progress claim will not be considered until the Contractor has complied with the following
provisions of the ABIC SW-2008 and supplied to the Architect:
evidence of all the required insurance cover as per section E.
a copy of the construction program as per section G.
For this Project the declaration will be the sign off by the contractor on the progress certificate where
noted that all subcontractors employees and suppliers have been paid. No certificate will be considered
complete without this signature.
A7.16. VARIATIONS
Procedures to be followed for any variations to the Works are covered by section J of the ABIC SW-2008
Agreement. When the Contractor is required to complete work, which is considered to be additional to
the works as described in the Contract documents and, before commencement of such additional work,
the Contractor shall notify the Architect in writing stating the nature of additional work and the reasons
why it is considered to be outside the current scope of the Works.
All such claims from the Contractor will be acknowledged by the issue of an Architect’s Instruction (“AI”).
Any further communications for each claim shall refer to the relevant AI number. Quotations for the work
shall be submitted to the Architect in accordance with the requirements of sections J and H of the ABIC
SW-2008 Agreement. Upon agreement and approval of the quotation an Adjustment to the Contract will
be issued by the Architect authorising the additional work to proceed.

guarantee required by the provisions of this clause to the Contractor.
The Contractor shall take all measures including employment of watchmen and/or safety patrol services,
security fences, temporary flood lighting, etc. considered necessary for the purpose of safeguarding of
the Works. The Contractor shall also ensure that any potential entry points created by the building works
are totally secured when the site is unattended.
No claim for extension of time or for extra cost will be considered in respect of damage or loss of
material or interruption of work due to the Contractor's failure to safeguard the Works and any and all
losses resulting from the Contractor’s failure to maintain the security of the site shall be replaced and or
reinstated by the Contractor without cost to the Owner.

Completion the Contractor shall conduct an inspection and prepare a list of outstanding
works The Contractor shall submit a copy of this list to the Architect.
Subsequently the Contractor shall submit a Notice requesting the Architect to inspect the
Works and determine if they are at the stage of Practical Completion.
The Architect will then inspect and assess the state of the Works.
If the Architect considers the works are completed he will issue a Notice to the Contractor &
Owner advising the works have reached the stage of Practical Completion.
If this is not the case the Architect will advise the Contractor what is required to achieve
practical Completion
Notwithstanding that all items are required to be fully completed by the date of Practical Completion the
Architect, at his discretion may permit some minor items to be completed after the issue of the Notice of
Practical completion.
All such minor items shall be completed by the Contractor with the minimum of inconvenience to the
Owner within 14 days from the issue of the Notice of Practical Completion or within a reasonable time as
agreed by both parties.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I refer to the building permit application/building design provided to Council for its report with relation
to the above.
It is noted that no building plans or specific details of the proposed development have been submitted
with the application for the legal point of discharge.
The legal point of discharge for the property is the kerb and channel of Glendearg Grove as shown
on the attached plan .
RECOMMENDATIONS
The Relevant Building Surveyor must ensure compliance with these recommendations. Council consent for the
point of discharge is subject to compliance with the following conditions:
1. The suitability, location and level of the specified legal point of discharge must be checked and confirmed
prior to the design of the stormwater layout and prior to the commencement of any drainage works.
2. Any existing connection to the specified point of discharge may be utilised only if that drain is checked
and proven to be in good order and of adequate capacity.
3. Any new outlet into the street kerb and channel must be at least 500mm clear of any new or existing
crossing. The outlet must also be at least 2.0 metres clear of any street tree.
4. The drainage of the site shall be by means of a gravity system. A pumped system shall not be used
for any roofed, paved or surface areas. A pump may only be used for agricultural drains and sections of
basement ramps that cannot be drained to the legal point of discharge by gravity. The design and
construction of the pumped system must be in accordance with AS/NZ 3500.3.2:1998.
5. Cast iron or galvanised iron pipes shall be used within the road reserve. U.P.V.C. (sewer quality) pipes
may be used in the road reserve if the full length of the pipe within the Road Reserve is under a hard
paved footpath or surface, or if at least 150mm of earth cover is available (within the nature strip).
6. A Road Management Act Consent must be obtained for drainage works within the road reserve and a
Road Opening Permit must be obtained for a connection to an underground Council drain or pit.
7. If applicable, individual lots or town houses should be connected to the legal point of discharge
independently of other lots.
8. All internal and external pipes shall be 100mm diameter (minimum) U.P.V.C. or concrete. F.R.C pipes
may be used if greater than 300mm of cover is to be provided.
9. Inspection openings or pits shall be provided at all pipe junctions and bends.
10. Pits or inspection openings must be provided to allow access to all drains (including A.G. drains) for
cleaning and maintenance purposes.
11. Pit sizes shall be a minimum of 450 x 450mm (internal size). Pits greater than 600mm in depth shall be
600 x 600mm.
12. Pipes under buildings shall be rubber ring jointed or solvent welded and be laid without bends or
junctions.
13. All site drainage including all surface runoff must be contained within the site and connected to the lawful
point of discharge.
14. All other drainage requirements shall comply with AS/NZS 3500.3.2:1998.
Council has no record of any public stormwater drains or private drains (that may serve neighbouring
properties) being located on the property. If any such drains exist, no structure shall be built over or
interfere with the drain or easement without written consent from Stonnington Council.
Any further enquiries in relation to the information provided should be directed to Travis Jenkins,
Urban and Infrastructure Projects, on 8290 3280 or tjenkins@stonnington.vic.gov.au.
Yours faithfully

GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION - RESIDENTIAL
3 GLENDEARG GROVE
MALVERN
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Statewide Geotechnical (Aust) Pty Ltd was engaged by Venn Architects to conduct
suitable field investigation in accordance with AS2870-2011 (Residential Slabs and
Footings) for the purpose of assigning a site classification and providing site specific
advice in relation to; earthworks, footings, construction and site maintenance
requirements.
We understand that the proposed construction will comprise ground and upper floor
articulated brick veneer and clad frame addition to the rear of the existing dwelling, and a
new in-ground pool.
Fieldwork was carried out by engineering staff from this firm on 15th February, 2017. Two
boreholes were drilled with a hand auger and the subsurface profiles logged, sampled and
appropriately strength/density tested. Existing footings to the dwelling were inspected at
one location. Footing probe and borehole locations are shown in figure 1.
The site is a rectangular residential allotment, bounded to the front (west) by Glendearg
Grove and to remaining sides by developed residential allotments. The site surface
gradient was measured using a hand held clinometer and ranged from 0-1o sloping
towards the south. An existing single and double storey brick veneer dwelling is centrally
located onsite, and appears to be in a reasonable condition. An existing rear double
storey addition will be demolished.
A few 6-9m high trees are located around the property, including the adjoining properties.
For this site, due to the relatively stable deep sand profile, these trees are not expected to
have any significant drying related effect on the proposed construction envelope.
It is important that the designer satisfy themselves as to the mature heights of these trees
and hence the extent of potential drying related influence on the proposed construction
envelope.
A photograph looking north-west towards the proposed addition is shown on the following
page.
This site is classified as being within the Class 2 ’Wet Temperate’ Climatic Region.
4.0 GEOLOGY
4.1 Regional
The site is identified on the Geological Survey of Victoria RINGWOOD Sheet (1:63,360) as
being located within the Province of Pliocene ‘Brighton Group’ Sands and associated soil
profiles.
Two boreholes were drilled on this site during our investigation. Logs of the specific
boreholes are attached to this report. An overview of the site subsurface profile follows:
FILL material extending from surface to 0.3-0.35m, underlain by
Natural Silty SAND, grey becoming light grey, medium dense, containing trace
ferruginous gravel, extending to 1.5-1.7m, underlain by
Sandy CLAY, brown / orange / grey, medium plasticity, very stiff, extending to
2.0m+.
The fill material is described as slightly moist to moist. The natural silty sand is described
as moist becoming wet, overlying moist sandy clay.
Any SITE CUTTING or FILL PLACEMENT has the potential to alter areas of the site which
may be affected by abnormal soil moisture conditions. It may also alter appropriate footing
types.
Where CUT or FILL works occur, this office must be supplied with accurate details to
ensure that the SITE CLASSIFICATION and FOOTING ADVICE remain appropriate.
Ensure existing footings and related structures are removed sufficiently so as not to
interfere with new footings.
Tree stumps should be removed at the same time that trees are felled and stump
excavations immediately backfilled with competent fill materials (i.e. granular materials or
low-medium plasticity clays), placed in lifts of 200mm maximum with each lift being well
compacted.
‘Abnormal’ soil moisture conditions are likely to occur through areas from which buildings,
paving or trees have been recently removed. Such abnormal conditions will diminish with
time, particularly during winter months when frequent rainfall is experienced. Allow the
maximum possible time to elapse between removal of buildings, pavements or trees and
the commencement of new construction.
In conjunction with any excavation to achieve required grade levels the site shall be
prepared in accordance with Section 6 of AS2870 – 2011 (Residential Slabs & Footings).
Particular attention should be given to the stripping of all vegetation and topsoil containing
root zone material. In addition, any areas of soft, loose or wet material which will not
respond to compactive measures should be selectively excavated to achieve a firm
working base.
Excavation within the natural silty sand for the proposed pool may be subject to sidewall
collapse and temporary shoring of excavations should be anticipated.
7.1 Overview
For areas of ROLLED FILL, (per AS2870-2011) and/or successfully proof rolled site fill,
having total depths of less than 400mm, construction of a CLASS S slab is appropriate.
Slab EDGE and INTERNAL beams must penetrate through any fill material and be
founded at least 100mm into the underlying natural silty sand.
Maximum allowable bearing pressures beneath slab beams are: 100kPa (edge and
internal).
Where total depths of rolled and/or proof rolled site fill materials exceed 600mm, then
through such areas slab panels must be designed as SELF SUPPORTING.
Maximum allowable bearing pressure beneath footings must not exceed 100kPa.
The footing probe indicates that the external strip footing is under sized with respect to
current specifications. AS2870 recommends a minimum footing depth of 500mm for a solid
brick dwelling on a site classified as CLASS S. The depth of the existing footing is
measured to be 300mm.
The underlying silty clay profile may be apportioned an allowable end bearing capacity of
100kPa and can withstand the additional loads that the proposed new works will impart.
When application of point loads will result in applied bearing pressures exceeding this
figure, then insertion of additional (new) stumps will be required, as per section 7.3 of this
report.
It must be emphasized that while the bearing capacity of the silty sand / sandy clay profile
is sufficient for the proposed second storey addition, further surface movement leading to
doors jamming, brick cracking etc. cannot be ruled out should foundation zone soil
moisture conditions change.
7.5 General
Avoid OVERDEEPENING of footing excavations as this will result in wet or saturated soil
conditions being encountered with resultant problems of collapse for open excavations.
This situation is most acute during wet months.
Where edge beams/footings are located adjacent to a backfilled service trench, we advise
that, unless continuous rock is intersected at shallower depths, such footings should be
deepened such that they are founded at or below the level of a plane of inclination (30o)
extending outwards from the base of the trench.
Provide full height control joints in masonry walls above or close to junctions between
different types of footing systems, footings founded at significantly different depths or
footings founded on significantly different materials (i.e. clay and rock).
Brickwork control joints and/or features which articulate the brickwork such as timber
panelling or full height windows should be incorporated at regular intervals. Full height
articulation joints should be provided within 4.5m of corners, and a nominal 6.0m
thereafter. Should a rendered finish be applied to new brickwork or clad frame walls, it is
important that control joints are similarly integrated into the render finish.
Provide full height control joints in masonry walls at the junction between the extension
and the existing building.
Internal finish to floor and walls at the junction between pre-existing building and new
addition must be tolerant of minor differential movements.
The attached Appendix (Site Maintenance Requirements) forms an integral part of this
report and should be read carefully. In addition the following maintenance issues are
emphasised;
Ensure that the ground level is contoured to provide adequate drainage away from
foundations.

LIMITATIONS OF REPORT
The subsurface conditions and related site preparation and footing advice outlined in this report is based on assumptions that
test results obtained from borings or pits are representative of the overall subsurface conditions. It is the responsibility of the
owner/builder to confirm that the locations of our test site has broadly covered the site area for the final proposed
construction.
In the event that site/footing excavations reveal soil conditions which differ from those described in this report then Statewide
Geotechnical (Aust) Pty Ltd should be contacted immediately and excavations stopped immediately. We take no
responsibility for site/footings excavations deepened beyond our recommended founding depth without prior approval from
this firm.
The recommendations in this report are also based on the following:-
a) Information about the site and its history, proposed site treatment and building type conveyed to us by the client
or their agent.
b) Professional judgments and opinions using the most recent information in soil testing practice that is available to
us.
c) The location of our test sites and the information gained from this and other investigations.
Should the client or their agent neglect to supply us with correct relevant information, including information about previous
buildings, trees or past activities on the site, or should changes be made to the building type, size and/or position, our report
may be made irrelevant or inappropriate. In such cases, we will not accept any liability for the consequences and we reserve
the right to levy an additional charge if more testing or a change to the report is necessary.
Unless otherwise stated in our commission, all dimensions and measurements in relation to borehole positions and depths of
soil strata, as well as slope directions and magnitudes are approximates only and must not be relied upon for accurate
building cost calculations. Plans do not represent accurate title details. Locations of site features including trees, services,
existing/adjoining buildings etc are approximates only.
All contractors must be well briefed as to the requirements and specifications in this report. To minimize the likelihood of
misinterpretation, this report must not be reproduced unless in full and contractors given ready access to the complete report.
This report is based on the assumptions that conditions revealed through selective sampling are indicative of the actual
conditions throughout the site, i.e. correlation between boreholes. Variations between boreholes may exist due to previous
land use or natural geologic processes. Additional deepening of the foundations, deeper than the minimum specified
founding depths in this report may be required. The actual subsurface conditions can be discerned only during earthworks
when the subsurface profile can be directly observed.
Articulation
Articulation of masonry walls should be provided as per details contained in reference (3) above. Spacing between
articulation joints should not exceed a maximum of 6.0m, and should be provided at/or between:
Any new walls abutting the existing walls.
Footings founding at significantly different founding depths, or founding material, and
Points of high stress, i.e. above door and window openings, changes in storey height, or above large spanning lintels.
Service Trenches/Easements
The presence of service trenches and easements is a common cause of unsatisfactory performance of foundations through
either direct undermining or through the introduction of undesirable levels of soil moisture. For this reason we recommend:
Where footings are located in close proximity or adjacent to a backfilled service trench or easements, the footings
must be deepened and founded at a depth at or below the level of plane of inclination of 45o above horizontal
extending outwards from the base of the trench or filling (as illustrated by figure C6.1 AS2870 Suppl-2011). This
includes service trenches which may be present on adjacent sites or on site prior to the current development (such as
abandoned storm water and sewer trenches); and
A minimum offset of 2.0m from the building should be adopted for all service trenches and/or easements.
Where the minimum 2.0m offset is not possible, the maximum available offset should be adopted, and the footing
should be deepened at least one footing width below the level of plane of inclination of 45 o above horizontal
extending outwards from the closest deepest corner of the service trench. This is intended to minimize the risk of
unacceptable soil moisture changes facilitated by the proximity of the service trenches. There will be instances
where this office can reduce this depth upon discussions and written approval.
All service trenches should be sloped away from the building as per AS2870-2011 section 6.6(d).
Backfill material should ideally comprise weakmix concrete, mortar or (preferably) cement stabilized soil, or clean
adequately tamped/compacted clay placed marginally wet of optimum. Permeable or granular material such as sand,
gravel, ¼ minus, or building rubble, should not be used to backfill service trenches in proximity to building
foundations.
Where footings/edge beams are to be additionally deepened, we recommend blinding concrete should first be poured in
the base of the excavation upon which the footing/edge beam can be constructed.
Significant additional deepening (greater than nominal depth of 1.50m) may necessitate the footing/edge beam to be
suspended to an engineer design. The design should be conducted with the intention that should the clay soils shrink,
the footing/edge beam should then be supported on the mass pad/pier footing. In this way the structural stiffness of the
footing can remain the same throughout the design, i.e. maintain a uniform slab edge beam thickness or strip footing
depth. These footings must be founded as per the rest of the development. Recommendations for bored piers/mass
excavated pad footings may be obtained from this office if required.
Site drainage
The site should be graded or drained to prevent water from ponding against or near the building. Monitoring of surface
drainage paths should be ongoing. In any areas where ponding or pooling of water does occur, the surface should be
regraded to direct water away from the building or to storm water discharge points.
Garden restrictions
Garden beds should not compromise site drainage or be located directly adjacent to the building and should not be over-
watered where they are near the building foundations.
Maintenance of plumbing, services and storm water system
All services and plumbing must be well maintained and periodically checked for leaks. Guttering must be kept clean at all
times and down pipes discharge all roof water into the storm water system (or rainwater tank).
Trees
Trees/shrubs can induce ‘drying’ of foundation zone soils, resulting in shrinkage and consequent foundation movement
and cracking. Conversely, trees/shrubs can also block or crack service pipes, resulting in leaking and wetting of
foundation zone soils, with similar undesirable consequences.
Trees should therefore be prohibited a minimum distance equal to the mature height of the tree from structures for sites
of high reactivity. There generally has to be a compromise between the presence of trees and foundation movement and
associated cracking.
Tree roots are attracted to moist ground conditions. If a relatively low and constant ground moisture condition can be
maintained in the vicinity of the foundations, tree roots, which may cause volumetric changes in the foundation zone soils
and/or cracking in later dry periods, will be attracted to other areas.
Foundation performance
It should be noted that the conventional foundations specified in AS2870-2011 may still experience some minor (non-
structural) foundation movement and cracking, even where good foundation maintenance practices are undertaken,
depending on environmental factors and local conditions (refer to AS2870-2011 Section 1.3.1 and Table C1 and C2
Appendix C). This reflects the necessity of achieving a balance between cost, safety and serviceability.
Alternatives to conventional foundations can be ‘tailored’ to suit the desired level of performance of the foundation
system. Should minor foundation movements be intolerable or on-going maintenance be undesirable, the foundation
may be engineered accordingly. This will be a matter for the proponent to decide based on the required level of
serviceability and desired performance criteria, and cost. Further advice with regard to an alternative foundation design
may be obtained from this office, if required.
This report is valid for a period of 2 years from date of testing. Should construction works commence after this
time frame, then this office should be contacted for further advice and a report update. Note that this update will
require a site inspection and possible additional fieldwork.
