Best Regulation 126 in Footscray Melbourne In Victoria, a Certificate of Compliance is a document that is regulated by the Victorian Building Authority and is referred to as "Regulation 126: Certificate of Compliance—Design". The Victorian Building Authority administers Victoria’s building legislation system. The document is a statement made by the engineer (us) to the Building Surveyor that all structural design works have been carried out in accordance with the Building Act 1993, the Building Regulations 2018, the National Construction Code, and the relevant Australian Standards.

When the Building Surveyor approves the Building Permit application, one complete set of certified documentation is forwarded to each applicant (person applying for the building permit) and the local Council. The third set is retained by the Building Surveyor. The purpose of Regulation 126 is to ensure that adequate protection against foreseeable hazards is introduced as early as possible through this certification procedure. It also aids in determining whether a proposed project is in accordance with FEDERAL, STATE, or LOCAL HISTORICAL LAND USE REGULATIONS. Architecture and Engineering (ArchiENG) provides professional peer review and certification services for engineering reports produced by others. Provided that the report satisfies the minimum requirements to demonstrate that Performance Requirements have been satisfied, a Regulation 126 design certificate will be issued.

Some key takeaways are that compliance with Regulation 126 is a condition of obtaining a permit from the local council.

The building permit will only be issued after all design documentation has been satisfied.

n addition to the aesthetic value of restumping, it also makes your house safer to live in. Most houses in Melbourne use either wooden or concrete stumps as a foundation to support the structure that sits above the ground. Timber stumps will typically only last up to 20 years & brick / concrete stumps can become uneven as a result of natural ground movements overtime. In the event of a flood or earthquake, it is possible that water may enter through cracks in the foundations and potentially cause structural damage if not caught early. A new concrete foundation provides a safer option than a timber one because it has been designed to withstand these forces.

Restumping is crucial to ensure the safety of its occupants. Replacing damaged stumps will keep the structural integrity of your house intact and fortify the house for many years to come. Restumping brings peace of mind and the process can expose problems that previously were difficult to diagnose (such as termite damage) which may have threatened the safety of the home. Restumping can also present you with the opportunity to choose a different material such as galvanized steel, which will protect the home against dry rot.

When it comes to choosing materials for restumping, there are many options available such as galvanized steel (which protects against dry rot), brick veneer which gives a nice aesthetic finish and plastic alternatives which might provide more insulation value than traditional timber materials

If you have noticed cracks in the walls or floors of your house, this could be due to poor stumps and general wear & tear on your foundations. You may also have experienced damage to external walls caused by termites or other insects that have eaten away at the timber support structure underneath. This can cause structural damage to your home and lead to further problems such as termite infestation and mould growth inside your property. Not only will restumping solve these problems but it can also provide peace of mind for you and increase the value of your property should you decide to sell it in the future
