Good Repair Guide: Dealing with mould
Product Description
As well as causing damage to building materials, internal mould growth in homes is unhealthy for many building occupants. While some moulds are harmless, others can cause health problems such as allergies, asthma and hay fever in some people, and a few moulds can cause more serious illness.
This Good Repair Guide outlines strategies for removing internal mould, controlling moisture and raising temperatures in order to minimise its reccurrence. It looks at what mould is, the problems and health consequences, cleaning methods for mould and improving ventilation.

Good Practice Guide: Waterproof decks and balconies (PDF)
This guide focuses on the ‘good’ design, specification and construction requirements for all types of waterproof decks and balconies (Building Code, structure, substrate, membrane and walk-on surface) to residential buildings (stand-alone houses, townhouses, apartments and so on) to ensure such decks will be serviceable over the life of the building.
There are two compliance paths for waterproof decks – Acceptable Solution E2/AS1 and specific design. This guide focuses on E2/AS1.
This Good Practice Guide will be an essential reference tool for all those involved in the selection, design or construction of waterproof decks.
Note that membranes must be applied by certified contractors or approved applicators, and this guide is not intended as a how-to guide for inexperienced or non-approved applicators to apply membranes.
