| Part name | Soil Screw Foundation (galvanised steel ground screw) |
| Category | Foundation Interface |
| NCC class | Class 1a |
| Covers | FD-001 Soil Screw (galvanised steel ground screw) plus the 100x100x5mm galvanised head bracket supplied with each screw |
| Description | Galvanised steel ground screw that forms the kit-of-parts foundation. Each screw is driven into the ground by an auger-style piling machine, no excavation and no concrete cure delay. A 100x100x5mm galvanised head bracket fixes to the top of each screw, ready to receive the next part (which has its own sheet). The screw carries the building down to the ground: compression, uplift and lateral load transfer through the screw shaft and helix into the soil. Capacity is set by screw length and confirmed on site by install torque and a static load test. |
| Components / materials | Galvanised steel ground screw (StopDigging SGC89 comparator basis): 89mm outer diameter, 4mm wall, 900mm helix length, 60mm helix pitch, 10mm helix wall, 200mm dia x 8mm mounting plate, M20 central thread. Steel grade ISO 630 Fe 360A, product standard EN 1090, hot-dip galvanised to ISO 1461 / AS/NZS 4680, manufactured under ISO 9001. Plus a 100x100x5mm galvanised steel head bracket per screw. Mortar levelling bed and silicone DPC at the bracket juncture. |
| Manufacture process | Cold-formed and welded galvanised steel ground screw plus head bracket, by selected manufacturer (StopDigging comparator basis; equivalent buyable from China). Steel grade, galvanising class and mechanical properties by manufacturer Declaration of Conformity. |
| Dimensions | Screw outer diameter 89mm; baseline length 1200mm, sized up by the structural engineer-of-record per AS 2159 to suit the per-home loads. Helix 900mm long, 60mm pitch, 10mm wall. Mounting plate 200mm dia x 8mm. M20 central thread. Head bracket 100x100x5mm. (MasterData PARTS REGISTER currently records 76mm; corrected to 89mm SGC89 per Spec Book V4 / research, flagged for MasterData update.) |
| Tolerances | Install (standard) per AS 2159 Section 7.2: 75mm positional, 1:75 plumb on the axial line. Aurora project install tolerance tighter at plus or minus 10mm so the bracket grid lines up for the next part. Manufacturing plus or minus 2mm (Aurora assumption; confirm with the selected manufacturer). |
| Weight | Per-unit weight TBC (by selected manufacturer). |
| Connections | CN-007 at the screw head. The galvanised head bracket is fixed level to the top of each screw, ready to receive the next part; a mortar levelling bed plus a silicone DPC sit at the juncture. Load transfer: compression, uplift and lateral from the building base, through the bracket and screw, into the ground. |
| Structural options | None at part level. There is no Deemed-to-Satisfy pathway for a ground screw in Class 1a. Structural compliance is a Performance Solution under AS 2159 plus AS/NZS 1170 engineering, with the screw length sized by the engineer-of-record. A CodeMark certificate is a Phase 2 alternative (the StopDigging comparator holds AU CodeMark plus NZ CodeMark CMNZ70132). |
| Finish | Hot-dip galvanised to AS/NZS 4680 / ISO 1461; sub-grade corrosion allowance per AS 2159 Table B2; expected service life 125 years on the comparator basis, confirmed by selected manufacturer. |
| Manufacturer Warranty | 10 years |
Build sequence (site): 1. Set out each soil screw location to the engineer-of-record layout. 2. Drive each soil screw into the ground with an auger-style piling machine. No excavation, no spoil, no concrete cure delay. 3. Install each screw perfectly level; confirm capacity by install torque and a static load test per AS 2159. 4. Fix the 100x100x5mm galvanised head bracket level to the top of each screw, with the mortar levelling bed and silicone DPC at the juncture (connection CN-007), ready to receive the next part.

Scope notes for this matrix: Fire is not mapped: the screw is a sub-grade non-combustible steel element, and any fire-resistance level at the base of a fire-rated wall is a wall and base-junction concern handled in the wall maps, not the ground screw. Acoustic, whole-of-wall thermal, and termite are not applicable to a sub-grade steel ground screw. AS 1684 (residential timber framing) and AS 3566 (self-drilling fasteners) are removed: a ground screw is a piling product, not a timber-framed member or a fastener. AS 2870 covers concrete footings only and is not a structural route for the pile; it stays only as context for any slab the brackets seat against.
Each compliance dimension follows a six-step chain: NCC entry, Performance Requirement, route (Performance Solution / CodeMark or A5G3 evidence of suitability), AS standards, Evidence DMC, and Certifications DMC.
The full set of compliance and evidence documents this part needs, by category. These are obtained progressively, most at final supplier selection and engineer appointment. Status TBC means the document is identified and scoped, to be collected.

| Part name | FRP Edge Form Profile |
| Category | Foundation Interface (Cost Code TBC) |
| NCC class | Class 1a |
| Covers (4 variants) | FR-001 Top Set-Down Box, FR-002 Side Edge 215, FR-003 Side Edge 105, FR-004 Side Edge 60 |
| Description | Custom pultruded GFRP edge-form profile supplied as four separate extruded parts: one common top set-down box (FR-001) plus a chosen side edge (FR-002 / FR-003 / FR-004). One top box plus one side edge forms each slab-edge, wet-area set-down, and garage-threshold condition. Permanent left-in-place formwork: the slab is poured against it. One face is permanently exposed to weather at ground level. The FR-001 top set-down box is also a structural tie-down interface: the wall bottom plate fixes into the top of the box, so FR-001 transfers wall hold-down, uplift and shear into the slab. |
| Components / materials | Pultruded glass-fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP), approx 5mm wall section. UV-stabilised surface veil plus topcoat on the exposed face; cut edges sealed. Reinforcement approx 65 percent glass (confirm weight vs volume with the selected manufacturer). |
| Manufacture process | Pultruded GFRP sections. Originally specified as single-piece sections; these were too large to extrude, so each set-down is now a top box plus a separate side edge section. |
| Dimensions | Side edge height variants 215, 105 and 60 (FR-002 / FR-003 / FR-004); common top set-down box FR-001. Approx 5mm wall. Full dimensional schedule by the selected manufacturer; dimensional tolerances to a declared ASTM D3917-23 class. |
| Tolerances | To a declared ASTM D3917-23 tolerance class for pultruded GFRP shapes; Aurora project tolerances confirmed achievable by the manufacturer. |
| Weight | Per-linear-metre weights TBC (request from the manufacturer for handling and shipping). |
| Connections | Top set-down box plus a chosen side edge per condition, set out to the engineer footing design and left in place; the slab is poured against it. Down to FD: the box seats on the galvanised head bracket on the soil-screw head (CN-007). Up to the wall: the wall bottom plate (70x35 pine) is glued and nailed through the non-visual panel into the top of the FR-001 box, and the box is glued to the slab on its non-visual side, transferring wall hold-down into the slab (cross-part connection to WP-EXT). The form is not the DPC, WRB, or waterproofing membrane; base damp-proofing and flashing belong to the wall and slab maps. |
| Structural options | FR-001 top set-down box is a structural tie-down interface: the wall bottom plate fixes into the top of the box and transfers wall hold-down, uplift and shear into the slab (NCC H1, engineer Performance Solution / A5G3). The profile is non-structural as formwork (it carries no slab load), but structural as the wall-base tie-down interface. Slab and footing design is the engineer-of-record scope under AS 2870. FR-002 / FR-003 / FR-004 side edges are non-structural. |
| Finish | UV-stabilised surface veil plus topcoat on the weather-exposed face. |
| Manufacturer Warranty | 10 years |
Build sequence (site): 1. Set out the slab-edge form (top set-down box plus the chosen side edge) to the engineer footing set-out; the box seats on the FD galvanised head brackets. 2. Fix the form in position as permanent left-in-place formwork, glued to the slab on its non-visual side. 3. Pour and cure the slab against the form. 4. Fix the wall bottom plate (70x35 pine), glued and nailed through the non-visual panel into the top of the FR-001 box, transferring wall hold-down into the slab. 5. Base damp-proofing and flashing are coordinated by the wall and slab systems (separate scope), not by the edge form.

Scope notes for this matrix: Fire (resistance, combustibility, BAL), acoustic separation, whole-of-wall thermal performance, and termite barrier are NOT mapped -- this is an external edge form at ground level. The left-in-place formwork role is NOT a product-compliance dimension: concrete pressure during the pour is temporary works (builder scope). Base damp-proofing and flashing are NOT the edge form's function; they belong to the wall and slab maps. FR-001 carries a real structural tie-down interface (H1): the wall bottom plate fixes into the top of the box, transferring wall hold-down into the slab. AS 5204 has been removed as unverified; ASTM D3917-23 governs dimensional tolerance.
Each compliance dimension follows a six-step chain: NCC entry, Performance Requirement, DTS pathway, AS/ASTM standards, Evidence DMC, and Certifications DMC.
The full set of compliance and evidence documents this part needs, by category. These are obtained progressively, most at final supplier selection and engineer appointment. Status TBC means the document is identified and scoped, to be collected.

Standards note: AS 5204 (former Spec Book citation) is removed as unverified and replaced by ASTM D3917-23 for dimensional tolerance. FR-001 carries a structural tie-down interface (NCC H1, engineer Performance Solution): the wall bottom plate fixes into the top of the box, transferring wall hold-down into the slab. The left-in-place formwork role is temporary works (builder scope), not a product-compliance dimension. Base damp-proofing and flashing belong to the wall and slab maps. Fire, acoustic, whole-of-wall thermal and termite are not mapped for this external edge form at ground level.

Scope notes for this matrix: Thermal whole-wall R-value is a SYSTEM attribute (cladding + foam + framing + linings + WRB) and is not mapped as a compliance dimension at the part level. The phenolic foam R-value is declared in the Part Summary only as a material property. Termite management is a site-level barrier system under a separate KoP item and is not mapped as a compliance attribute of this wall panel.
AS 4654.1/2 (external above-ground waterproofing membranes) and AS 3740 (wet-area waterproofing) are NOT triggered for the standard external wall WRB pathway. Both apply only conditionally -- AS 4654.1/2 if a balcony or planter detail is present, AS 3740 if a wet area abuts the panel.
Six-step compliance chain per dimension. NCC entry, Performance Requirement, DTS or PS pathway, AS standards triggered, Evidence (Design, Manufacture, Construct), Certifications (Design Consultant, Manufacturer, Builder). Applicable standard clauses group into Design, Manufacture and Construct buckets, producing three certification forms per dimension. Conditional dimensions carry an applicability pill before the chain.

| Covers (3 variants) | 2698.5 x 998.5 x 81mm; 2698.5 x 498.5 x 81mm; 2698.5 x Custom Width x 81mm |
| Description | Non-load-bearing internal partition. The same 81mm sandwich panel as the external wall (18mm 3-ply MGP10 radiata pine skin each face + 45mm closed-cell phenolic foam core, min 100 kg/m3), used for partitions inside the house. No external water-resistant barrier; both faces receive the 3-coat decorative/protective factory finish (clear sealer or paint). Bushfire regulations do not apply because the wall is not externally exposed. Where an internal wall serves as a separating / party wall, the fire party-wall FRL 60 min and acoustic Rw+Ctr requirements may apply. |
| Components / materials | Skins: 18mm 3-ply MGP10 radiata pine (x2). Core: 45mm closed-cell phenolic foam, min 100 kg/m3. Factory lamination adhesive: by selected manufacturer. Site structural adhesive: LOCTITE HB S029 PURBOND. Finish (both faces): 3-coat decorative/protective clear sealer or paint. Site framing: LVL (Option A) or MGP10 (Option B) plates, studs, splines. No WRB, no external tape. |
| Manufacture process | Factory-laminated sandwich: 3-ply skins bonded both faces to the phenolic core; finish factory-applied to both faces. Panels cut to grid with a 1.5mm design gap on all edges. |
| Dimensions | Overall thickness 81mm (18mm skin + 45mm core + 18mm skin). Design grids 1000mm and 500mm. Manufactured size = grid minus 1.5mm gap all edges. Identical to WP-EXT v5. |
| Tolerances | Design gap between panels/columns 1.5mm. Manufacture +/-1.5mm. Installation +/-3.0mm. Identical to WP-EXT v5. |
| Weight | Approx 25 kg/m2. Identical to WP-EXT v5; accurate total from BIM per-element attribution, confirm by selected manufacturer. |
| Connections | CN-007 to foundation via bearer; CN-001 inline panels; CN-006 T-junction to external wall; CN-002 base to floor cassette; CN-010 top plate to ceiling. Bottom-plate fixing follows the same rules as the external wall: screw into the FRP edge form (FR-001) where the wall sits on the edge form, or anchor / concrete screw direct to slab. Fastener centres by structural engineer. |
| Structural options | Option A (Phase 1 DTS): heavier LVL frame (140x45 E13 LVL studs/splines, 45x45 E13 LVL plates) carries all load; panel braces only. Option B (Performance Solution): lighter 90x45 MGP10 frame works compositely with the panel once the test suite is complete. |
| Finish | 3-coat decorative/protective on both faces. No NCC compliance duty for a Class 1a internal finish coat. |
| Manufacturer Warranty | 10 years |
Build sequence (site): 1. Set out all bottom plates first (robotic set-out under investigation). 2. Fix bottom plates to the FRP edge form (screw) or slab (anchor). 3. Slot SIPs over the bottom plate, glue then nail. 4. Connect adjoining panels via glued + nailed spline. 5. Temporarily prop panels (Rothoblaas Giraffe props). 6. Glue + nail top plates last.

Standards note: Spec Book currently cites AS 1720.1, Eurocode 5-2004 and EN 16351 (KEEP / supplementary). To be added at spec-book reconciliation: AS 1684, AS/NZS 1170 series, AS 4055, AS/NZS 1748, AS/NZS 4357, ASTM E72, ASTM E564, EN 594, AS/NZS 4364:2010, AS/NZS 1328.1, AS 1720.5, AS 3566, AS/NZS 1559, AS/NZS 4266.2, AS 1530.4, AS/NZS ISO 10140, AS/NZS ISO 717.1. AS 3558 series is removed (superseded by AS/NZS 4364:2010). Thermal R-value is a system-level attribute not mapped here; termite management is site-level. No external weatherproofing applies, so the AS/NZS 4200 series and AS 1530.2 for WRB and bushfire standards AS 3959 / AS 1530.8.2 are not triggered for the internal wall.
Consolidated record for this part. Performance cells read engineer-pending / supplier-pending / TBC where the compliance map states no value yet (Rule 34, no invented data); full dimensions, makeup and compliance detail are in the numbered sections below.
| Domain | Detail |
|---|---|
| Structural | engineer-pending. Option A (baseline): conventional engineered timber design, composite action not relied upon, to AS 1720.1, AS/NZS 1170 series, AS 4055, with AS 1684 as the framing reference. Option B (PS): full composite capacity demonstrated by Tests A & B plus engineering per A2G2(4) and Eurocode 5. H1P1/H1P2. |
| Fire | not applicable. CP is never installed as a fire-separating ceiling/floor between separate attached dwellings, so the H3P1 party-element fire requirement (AS 1530.4 FRL) is not triggered; standard Class 1 fire provisions apply. Phenolic foam flammability declared at material level (AS 1530.2). |
| Acoustic | not applicable. CP is never a separating floor/ceiling between separate attached dwellings, so the party-element acoustic requirements (AS/NZS ISO 10140, AS/NZS ISO 717.1/717.2, Rw + Ctr) are not triggered. |
| Thermal | Whole-element R not mapped at part level (system attribute). Phenolic foam core material R declared to AS/NZS 4859.1 (material declaration only). |
| Connections | engineer-pending. CN-010 ceiling-to-top-plate connector fixes the cassette to the wall top plate. Panel-to-panel: 140x75 E13 LVL joining joist glued and fixed in the inter-panel slot; 140x35 E13 LVL end trimmer at each end. Connection capacities and fastener schedule by engineer-of-record (AS 1720.5, AS 3566, AS/NZS 1559). |
| Tolerances | Same triad as the wall SIP: design gap between panels 1.5mm; manufacture plus or minus 1.5mm; installation plus or minus 3.0mm. |
supplier-pending (China-sourced, TBC). All components (CLT soffit, LVL spline/joining joists/end trimmer, phenolic foam, structural plywood, WPM, adhesives, fasteners) need supplier DoCs.

| Part name | Hybrid Timber Ceiling Cassette |
| Category | Ceiling/Floor Cassette (Cost Code 150) |
| NCC class | Class 1a (flat ceiling/floor cassette, non-separating) |
| Covers | CP-001 |
| Description | Prefabricated flat ceiling/floor cassette mirroring the Aurora wall SIP construction. Spans wall top plate to wall top plate. Never a separating floor/ceiling between separate attached dwellings, so no fire-separating or acoustic party-element duty; standard Class 1 provisions apply. |
| Components / materials | 18mm 3-ply CLT soffit (room face, with V-grooves running parallel to the panel length); 140x45 E13 LVL central structural spline (laminated in, runs the length, stops flush with the foam at both ends); 140mm closed-cell phenolic foam core either side of the spline, inset 37.5mm from all four edges; 18mm structural plywood top skin; vapour-permeable membrane (WPM) over the top ply. On-site jointing: 140x75 E13 LVL joining joist glued into the 75mm slot the two 37.5mm panel-edge voids form between butted panels (pre-cut to the foam-core length); 140x35 E13 LVL end trimmer (3000 long) recessed into each panel end against the foam and spline. Factory PUR lamination adhesive; site structural adhesive LOCTITE HB S029 PURBOND (same as the wall SIP). |
| Manufacture process | Factory-laminated cassette; 3-ply CLT soffit and structural ply skin bonded each face of the spline+foam core; both skin layers built from 2698.50 x 998.50 boards (2700 grid minus 1.5mm) laid along the length with 1.5mm gaps; the top ply board joints are offset from the bottom 3-ply joints so no joint runs through the full thickness; panels cut to grid with a 1.5mm design gap. |
| Dimensions | Overall thickness 176.5mm (18mm 3-ply CLT + 140mm core + 18mm ply + 0.5mm WPM). Width 998.5mm (1000mm grid, manufactured = grid minus 1.5mm). Length project-dependent up to 11800mm. Display panel modelled at 5398.5 x 998.5 x 176.5. |
| Tolerances | Design gap between panels 1.5mm. Manufacture +/-1.5mm. Installation +/-3.0mm. Identical triad to the wall SIP. |
| Weight | Approx 35 kg/m2 indicative; confirm by selected manufacturer. |
| Connections | CN-010 ceiling-to-top-plate fixes the cassette to the wall top plate. Panel-to-panel: 140x75 E13 LVL joining joist glued and fixed in the inter-panel slot; 140x35 E13 LVL end trimmer at each end. Fastener centres and capacities by structural engineer (AS 1720.5, AS 3566, AS/NZS 1559). |
| Structural options | Option A (Phase 1 baseline) conventional engineered timber design, composite action NOT relied upon (AS 1720.1, AS/NZS 1170, AS 4055, AS 1684 framing reference). Option B (Performance Solution) full composite capacity demonstrated by structural Tests A & B plus engineering per A2G2(4) and Eurocode 5. |
| Finish | Room face is the 3-ply CLT soffit with the decorative V-groove; factory sealer/finish. Top face WPM. No NCC compliance duty for a Class 1a internal finish. |
| Manufacturer Warranty | 10 years |
Build sequence (site): 1. Set out and check the wall top plates. 2. Place each ceiling cassette onto the top plates (room face down) per CN-010. 3. Glue and insert the 140x75 LVL joining joist into the slot between adjacent panels. 4. Glue and fix the 140x35 LVL end trimmers into the recess at each panel end. 5. Fix the cassettes down to the top plates per the engineer's schedule. 6. Complete temporary propping as required.

Scope notes for this matrix: Thermal whole-element R-value is a system attribute and is not mapped at part level; the phenolic foam R-value is declared as a material property in Section 5 only, not as a compliance dimension. Termite management is a site-level barrier system and is scoped out. No external waterproofing/weather barrier dimension applies to this interior ceiling element; there is no WRD/water-control layer dimension. Fire-separating and acoustic separating-element requirements are not applicable.
Each compliance dimension is mapped below in a six-step chain: NCC entry point, Performance Requirement, the applicable Pathway (DTS or Performance Solution), Australian Standards, Evidence (Design-Manufacture-Construct), and Certifications. Conditional dimensions carry an applicability pill (the chain-row__applies element) stating when the requirement is triggered.

| Domain | Detail |
|---|---|
| Structural | engineer-pending. Non-loadbearing decorative rain-screen; concealed-fix wind-load fixing to the wall designed by engineer-of-record (A5G3) to AS 4055 / AS/NZS 1170.2, panel wind-pressure test AS/NZS 4040.2 (H1). |
| Fire | engineer-pending. Bushfire construction to AS 3959 up to BAL-40 (DTS); PIR core is combustible, so BAL FZ and boundary fire-resisting wall (H3P1) are Performance Solutions via AS 1530.8.2 / AS 1530.4. PIR core flammability index declared to AS 1530.2. |
| Acoustic | Not applicable at the cladding layer (acoustic is a substrate/system attribute, not a cladding-part attribute). |

| Part name | Metal-Faced Cladding SIP |
| Category | Wall Cladding (Cost Code 200) |
| NCC class | Class 1a |
| Covers (2 variants) | CL-001 and CL-002, the two locked metal-faced variants: Recessed (5 rectangular recesses, 199.7mm cover pitch) and Shiplap (7 symmetric trapezoid recesses, 142.643mm cover pitch). |
| Description | Profiled coated-steel faced SIP installed as a drained/ventilated decorative rain-screen over the structural external wall (WP-EXT) and its vapour-permeable WRB. Non-loadbearing. The profiled metal face is the architectural finish and the wind-load skin; the weather barrier is the WRB and the wall panel behind, not the metal face. The metal face wraps down the panel side at both ends to the rebate floor and laps into the adjoining panel's corner recess, so the steel meets steel across the panel joint. The Recessed variant runs five modules to a panel; the Shiplap variant runs seven modules to a panel; the recess lands on every panel joint. |
| Components / materials | 0.566mm profiled coated-steel face (steel substrate to AS 1397, coating/prefinish to AS 2728) pressed over 10mm of closed-cell PIR foam, on the locked SIP key (40mm closed-cell PIR foam core plus a 0.6mm steel back skin inset within the 41.2mm key). Vapour-permeable WRB behind the rain-screen (on WP-EXT) is the primary water-control layer. |
| Manufacture process | Profiled coated-steel face roll-formed and pressed into the foam recesses; bonded to the foam over the locked SIP key. SIP key built to the locked base section, never re-opened. Recesses pressed to the variant pattern (Recessed: 20 wide x 10 deep; Shiplap: trapezoid top 10 to floor 5, depth 4.7). |
| Dimensions | Finished base 51.2mm (41.2mm locked SIP key + 10mm foam + 0.566mm profiled steel face). Foam core 50mm total (40mm in the key + 10mm top). Panel face cover 998.5mm, length 3600mm. Recessed variant: 5 recesses 20 x 10 at 199.7mm pitch. Shiplap variant: 7 recesses (top 10 / floor 5 / depth 4.7, ~28 degree walls) at 142.643mm pitch (998.5 / 7). Steel face 0.566mm; steel back skin 0.6mm. |
| Tolerances | Recess pitch set so modules align exactly to the 998.5 panel (clash 0.000mm, gap 0.000mm at the key joint), one concealed-fix void, recess continuous across the panel joint. Manufacture and install tolerances by the selected manufacturer. |
| Weight | Per-linear-metre weights TBC (request from the manufacturer for handling and shipping). |
| Connections | Metal-faced panels keyed to the shared locked SIP key joint (clash 0.000mm, gap 0.000mm); the steel face wraps the panel side and laps into the adjoining panel's corner recess so steel meets steel at the joint; one concealed-fix void per joint. Rain-screen over a vapour-permeable WRB on WP-EXT; wind-load fixings transfer cladding load back to the wall. |
| Structural options | Non-loadbearing rain-screen. Wind-load fixing design to the wall is engineer-of-record scope (AS 4055 / AS/NZS 1170.2, AS/NZS 4040.2; engineer A5G3 structural report). |
| Finish | Coated/prefinished steel (Colorbond-style); coating durability declared to AS 2728 over steel substrate to AS 1397. |
| Manufacturer Warranty | Extended warranties (term by selected manufacturer). |
Build sequence (site): 1. Set and key the SIP panels to the locked base joint, maintaining the vapour-permeable WRB laps on WP-EXT behind the rain-screen as the weather barrier. 2. Locate each metal-faced panel so its recess lands on the panel joint, five modules per panel (Recessed) or seven per panel (Shiplap). 3. Lap the wrapped steel face end into the adjoining panel's corner recess so steel meets steel across the joint. 4. Form the concealed-fix at each joint void. 5. Fix to the engineer wind-load detail, transferring cladding load back to the wall behind a drained/ventilated cavity.

Standards note: AS 1562.1 does not carry weatherproofing for this type (the ABCB 2023 advisory excludes composite/laminated metal wall systems and states the standard only partially applies to metal-faced SIPs and does not cover their material specs). Thermal whole-wall R-value and acoustic are substrate/system attributes, not cladding-layer attributes. AS 4654 wet-area membranes are not triggered unless a balcony or planter detail abuts the cladding assembly.
Consolidated record for this part. Performance cells read engineer-pending / supplier-pending / TBC where the compliance map states no value yet (Rule 34, no invented data); full dimensions, makeup and compliance detail are in the numbered sections below.
| Domain | Detail |
|---|---|
| Structural | engineer-pending. Non-loadbearing decorative overcladding; concealed-fix wind-load fixing to the SIP designed by engineer-of-record (A5G3) to AS 4055 / AS/NZS 1170.2, panel wind-pressure test AS/NZS 4040.2 (H1). |

| Acoustic | Not applicable at the cladding layer (acoustic is a wall-panel / party-wall system attribute, not a cladding-part attribute). |
| Thermal | Not mapped at part level (whole-wall R-value is a substrate/system attribute; AS/NZS 4859.1 applies to the SIP, not the cladding layer). |
| Connections | Cladding modules interlock male-to-female across the SIP key face, one concealed-fix void per panel joint; the seam (shiplap reveal or standing seam) lands on every panel joint. Rain-screen over a vapour-permeable WRB; wind-load fixings transfer cladding load back to the SIP. Key joint clash 0.000mm, gap 0.000mm. |
| Tolerances | Module cover narrowed 0.3mm (200 to 199.7) so five align exactly to the 998.5mm panel: cladding-to-panel mismatch 0.00mm per panel. Key joint clash 0.000mm, gap 0.000mm, one concealed-fix void. Manufacture and install tolerances by the selected manufacturer. |
supplier-pending (China-sourced, TBC). Aluminium extrusion + powder-coat, SIP core + steel skins, WRB and fixings all need supplier DoCs.

| Part name | Aluminium Extruded Cladding SIP |
| Category | Wall Cladding (Cost Code 200) |
| NCC class | Class 1a |
| Covers (4 variants) | CL-AL-001 N200 Shiplap, CL-AL-002 E200, CL-AL-003 SS200 Standing Seam, CL-AL-001 N143 Shiplap (142.64 cover variant of N200) |
| Description | Powder-coated extruded aluminium decorative, drained/ventilated overcladding over a structural SIP panel; the weather barrier is the vapour-permeable WRB and the SIP panel skins, not the aluminium. The aluminium modules interlock male-to-female across the panel face with one concealed-fix void at each panel joint; the cladding carries wind load back to the SIP through its fixings. Non-loadbearing. N200, E200 and SS200 run five modules to a panel; N143 is the 142.64 cover variant of N200 running seven modules to a panel. SS200 carries a standing seam proud of the face; N200, E200 and N143 are shiplap reveals. |
| Components / materials | 1.5mm powder-coated extruded aluminium cladding modules (decorative overcladding) over the locked SIP key (40mm closed-cell phenolic foam core plus two 0.6mm steel skins inset within the 41.2mm key). The 10mm aluminium cladding zone sits directly on the 41.2mm key face. Vapour-permeable WRB behind the rain-screen is the primary water-control layer. |
| Manufacture process | Extruded aluminium cladding modules, powder-coated, interlocked across the SIP key face; concealed-fix void formed at each panel joint. SIP key built to the locked base section, never re-opened. |
| Dimensions | Finished base 51.2mm (41.2mm locked SIP key plus 10mm aluminium cladding zone). Panel face cover 998.5mm; module cover 199.7mm (N200, E200, SS200, five modules per panel) or 142.643mm (N143, seven modules per panel = 998.5). Aluminium wall 1.5mm. SS200 overall 76.05mm including the standing seam proud of the face. Panel length 3600mm. |
| Tolerances | Module cover narrowed 0.3mm (200 to 199.7) so five align exactly to the 998.5 panel: cladding-to-panel mismatch 0.00mm per panel. Key joint clash 0.000mm, gap 0.000mm, one concealed-fix void. Manufacture and install tolerances by the selected manufacturer. |
| Weight | Per-linear-metre weights TBC (request from the manufacturer for handling and shipping). |
| Connections | Cladding modules interlock male-to-female across the SIP key face, one concealed-fix void per panel joint; the seam (shiplap reveal or standing seam) lands on every panel joint. Rain-screen over a vapour-permeable WRB; wind-load fixings transfer cladding load back to the SIP. Key joint mates with clash 0.000mm and gap 0.000mm. |
| Structural options | Non-loadbearing rain-screen. Wind-load fixing design to the SIP is engineer-of-record scope (AS 4055 / AS/NZS 1170.2, AS/NZS 4040.2; engineer A5G3 structural report). |
| Finish | Powder-coated aluminium; powder-coat durability declared to AS 2728. |
| Manufacturer Warranty | Extended warranties (term by selected manufacturer). |
Build sequence (site): 1. Set and key the SIP panels to the locked base joint. 2. Interlock the aluminium cladding modules across each panel face, five per panel (N143: seven per panel), seam landing on every panel joint. 3. Form the concealed-fix at each joint void. 4. Maintain the vapour-permeable WRB laps behind the rain-screen as the weather barrier. 5. Fix to the engineer wind-load detail, transferring cladding load back to the SIP.

Standards note: AS 1562.1 does not carry weatherproofing for this type (composite/laminated SIP excluded per ABCB 2023 advisory). Thermal whole-wall R-value and acoustic are substrate/system attributes, not cladding-layer attributes. AS 4654 wet-area membranes are not triggered unless a balcony or planter detail abuts the cladding assembly.

| Category | Wall Cladding (Cost Code 200) |
| NCC class | Class 1a |
| Covers (4 parts) | CL-COR-INT-STARTER, CL-COR-INT-COVER (internal/concave corner); CL-COR-EXT-STARTER, CL-COR-EXT-COVER (external/convex corner). |
| Description | Four 2.5mm powder-coated aluminium corner-trim extrusions that close and finish the corners of the Aurora cladding rain-screen, serving the whole 51.2mm cladding build-up. A two-piece clip system per corner: a STARTER screwed to the SIP first, and a COVER that clips into the starter U after the cladding is installed. The internal (concave) corner clips diagonally (a 45 degree prong into a 45 degree U); the external (convex) corner clips vertically (a vertical prong into a vertical U). Non-loadbearing architectural closures; they do not carry building load and are not the weather barrier. |
| Components / materials | 2.5mm powder-coated extruded aluminium (coating durability to AS 2728); fixings to the SIP (AS 3566 / AS/NZS 1559). |
| Manufacture process | Extruded aluminium, powder-coated. Section balanced and polished to canonical angles: every face exactly 0 / 45 / 90 / 135 degrees, symmetric pairs equalised, all corners and tips rounded (extrusion-realistic), one connected solid per part, wall 2.46 to 2.51mm (target 2.5mm). |
| Dimensions | Section bounding boxes: INT starter 57.6 x 58.0mm; INT cover 59.3 x 59.3mm; EXT starter 82.6 x 83.0mm; EXT cover 87.6 x 87.6mm. INT starter L-legs equal 49.87mm; INT cover legs equal 34.57mm; EXT cover two perpendicular faces equal span 87.58mm (corner exactly 90 degrees). Sample extrusion length 1000mm. |
| Tolerances | Section regularised to exact canonical angles (no hand-drawn slop); symmetric pairs equalised. Manufacture and install tolerances by the selected manufacturer. |
| Connections | Two-piece clip: single prong seats into the double-prong U. Internal corner clips diagonally (45 degree prong / 45 degree U); external corner clips vertically (vertical prong / vertical U). Starter screwed to the SIP before cladding; cover clips in after. |
| Structural options | Non-loadbearing trim. Wind-load fixing of the starter to the SIP is engineer-of-record scope (AS 4055 / AS/NZS 1170.2, AS/NZS 4040.2; engineer A5G3 structural report). |
| Finish | Powder-coated aluminium; powder-coat durability declared to AS 2728. |
| Manufacturer Warranty | Extended warranties (term by selected manufacturer). |
Build sequence (site): 1. Screw the STARTER trim to the SIP at the corner (internal or external) before the cladding goes on, maintaining the WRB continuity and drained/ventilated cavity at the corner. 2. Run the cladding up to the trim. 3. Clip the COVER into the starter U: internal corner diagonally (45 degrees), external corner vertically. 4. Confirm the corner junction keeps the WRB continuous and the cavity drained/ventilated. 5. Fix per the engineer wind-load detail.

The corner trims are non-loadbearing architectural closures serving the cladding rain-screen; thermal, acoustic, structural-loadbearing and boundary fire-resistance (H3P1) are the wall/panel element's pathways, not the trim's. The aluminium is non-combustible; no Class 1 general non-combustibility requirement applies to the external wall. The WRB on the wall is the weather barrier; the trim maintains corner junction continuity.

Metadata: part_id: RF type_name: Standing Seam Roof SIP ncc_class: Class 1a spec_book_version: TBC generated: 2026-06-01 sources: MasterData PIS (RF-001), Aurora SIP compliance report (2025)
The Standing Seam Roof SIP is an insulated roof panel with a 0.6 mm steel standing-seam outer face, a 150 mm PIR rigid foam core, and a flat inner steel liner. It can be used two ways. Option A lays the panel over conventional roof framing as a non-structural insulated roof cladding; the standing-seam profile is the primary water-shedding layer. Option B builds the panel as a structural stressed-skin roof that spans between supports and carries design loads, unlocking full off-site efficiency. Option A works under standard timber or light-gauge steel framing rules; Option B requires a Performance Solution with structural and weathertightness testing.
| Option | Pathway | SIP role | Site framing | Capacity | Testing required | NCC route |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | Deemed-to-Satisfy (DTS) | Insulated roof cladding over conventional framing | Timber or LGS rafters/trusses to AS 1684 or AS/NZS 4600 | Non-structural cladding; supporting framing carries all loads | No additional panel structural test; standard roof-cladding weatherproofing checks | H1 (framing via DTS), H2P2 (roof cladding via DTS) |
| B | Performance Solution | Structural stressed-skin roof panel spanning between supports | Primary structure at panel ends; no intermediate rafters | Panel acts as roof structure: resists dead, live, wind and earthquake loads | Tests A-D (structural) + Test E (weathertightness) required before use | H1, H2P2 (A2G2 + A5 + V2 + V3) |
Baseline: Option A is the Phase 1 launch baseline and provides the simplest compliance path. Option B unlocks full structural and off-site benefit but is gated on Phase 1 structural and weathertightness tests. Both options share fire, bushfire, material and acoustic requirements as triggered.

Gating logic: Option A (SIP as cladding over conventional framing) does not require structural panel Tests A--D. Option B (structural stressed-skin roof) requires Tests A--D plus weathertightness Test E in Phase 1. Tests F--J are Phase 2 extensions that unlock boundary/separating FRL, BAL Flame Zone, acoustic separating element ratings, thermal verification, and durability validation. Thermal whole-roof R-value is a system attribute scoped out of the part-level test programme; PIR core material R-value is declared via Section 5 DoC.

Narrative for Adam: The Spec Book can be approached in three ways. (1) Keep the emphasis on Option B Performance Solution and immediately accelerate Phase 1 structural and weathertightness testing, building the Spec Book as a PS-led document that references all tests and engineer-of-record obligations. This unlocks the full off-site value but requires testing lead time and budget. (2) Pivot the Spec Book to Option A DTS for Phase 1 launch -- the roof panel is treated strictly as a non-structural insulated cladding. The spec book would reference AS 1684/4600 for framing and existing steel roof standards, deferring all Option B testing to Phase 2. This is fastest to market but limits the panel's structural potential. (3) Dual-track the Spec Book: release a Phase 1 DTS spec for low-risk projects (Option A) and in parallel fund the Phase 1 test programme for a PS upgrade appendix that will supersede the DTS spec once tests are complete. The final spec book edition can then present both pathways clearly with triggers. Decision required on which track to fund first.

This window TYPE is a thermally broken aluminium framed unit with double low-e argon insulated glazing, factory powdercoat 100um (Dulux Duratec or Interpon D2525) with 20-year coastal coating warranty. It covers four geometry variants of one compliance type: the tilt-turn variants (OP-WIN-001 600x600, OP-WIN-002 900x1200) open internally and include an external stainless steel insect screen; the sliding variants (OP-WIN-003 1200x1200, OP-WIN-004 1800x1200) are airtight European sliders. Each variant is a tested rated unit under AS 2047, glazed and selected under AS 1288, and is installed into a rough opening in the SIP external wall panel. The opening junction is weatherproofed with flashing, pliable membrane lap and sealant. Operation differs across the four part IDs but the compliance type and evidence basis are identical.

Scope notes: thermal whole-wall R-value is a wall-system attribute mapped at wall-panel level, not at the window part level. Termite/timber durability does not apply because the window frame is aluminium. The window assembly performance figures (U-value, SHGC, Rw, wind rating) are pending supplier certificates and are listed as gaps in Section 7.

Option A (DTS) requires only the supplier's existing AS 2047 and AS 1288 certificates plus the IGU energy declaration (Tests A to C, Phase 1); the window is installed under standard DTS rules. Tests D and E are Phase 2 conditional extensions, required only where the window sits in a fire-rated wall (AS 1530.4) or a BAL-FZ bushfire wall (AS 1530.8.2). Thermal whole-wall R-value is a wall-system attribute and is not part of this window part-level test programme.

Spec Book narrative: The part owner has three pathways to close the Spec Book: (1) Keep current emphasis and accelerate any conditional testing (fire and BAL-FZ) so that the spec book covers both DTS and PS from day one; (2) Pivot the spec book to the Option A DTS baseline for launch, treating every standard window as an AS 2047 rated unit installed under DTS rules and leaving conditional PS standards to a later supplement; (3) Dual-track the spec book showing Option A DTS for standard windows and Option B PS only for fire-rated-wall and BAL-FZ placements, with the PS standards listed as conditional deferred entries.

This compliance type covers three externally hinged or sliding aluminium doorsets (OP-DR-001 tilt-turn 920x2040 entry, OP-DR-003 1800x2100 sliding, OP-DR-004 2400x2100 sliding). All are factory-manufactured, thermally broken, double-glazed with low-e argon IGUs, and purchased finished. Each doorset is installed into a rough opening formed in an Aurora SIP external wall panel and weather-sealed by the doorset's own seals plus site flashing and sealant at the opening junction. The door carries structural (opening framing, wind action), weatherproofing (junction and doorset), glazing safety, and energy efficiency requirements, plus conditional fire-resistance, bushfire (BAL), and accessibility obligations.
The door type follows a single pathway model because it is a purchased rated doorset, not a composite assembly requiring alternative routes. Most performance dimensions are satisfied via Deemed-to-Satisfy (DTS) pathways using an AS 2047 rated doorset, AS 1288 glazing, and AS 1684 opening framing, with AS/NZS 4200 flashings. Only the fire-resisting doorset dimension has no DTS pathway and demands a tested assembly (AS 1530.4/AS 1905.1) where the enclosing wall is fire-rated. For bushfire BAL FZ, the primary DTS route (AS 3959) may not suffice; a tested doorset (AS 1530.8.2) could be required as a Performance Solution.

The spec book currently emphasises wall panel standards. To support this door type, we recommend option 3: a dual-track approach that retains the existing wall emphasis but immediately adds the core doorset standards (AS 2047, AS 1288, AS/NZS 4200, and the structural suite) as Phase 1 must-haves, while deferring the fire, bushfire, and access standards to Phase 2 conditional triggers. This keeps the initial procurement lightweight while ensuring no compliance gap appears on a project-by-project basis.

This is an internal hinged aluminium door with a 920 x 2340 mm leaf, carrying a white opaque glass panel. The aluminium jamb is powdercoated and integrates a 90x18 architrave, and the door uses a stainless privacy-latch hardware set. It fits into internal openings of a Class 1a house. Because it is an internal door, weatherproofing, energy efficiency, and bushfire do not apply. Compliance here covers making sure the opening above the door carries load properly (structural), the glazed panel is safe to impact, and -- only when required -- the door works as a fire doorset or as accessible entry.
Four compliance dimensions apply to this door. Each has a well-defined DTS pathway except the fire doorset function, which must be a tested assembly. The table below summarises the pathway choice.
| Dimension | Pathway | DTS available? | Route summary | NCC route |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Structural support of opening (lintel/header) | DTS | YES | Framed opening header to AS 1684, loads to AS/NZS 1170 | H1 (Vol 2) |
| Glazing safety (glazed leaf) | DTS | YES | Safety glazing to AS 1288 (impact-prone door) | Glazing provisions (Housing Provisions) |
| Fire-resisting doorset | Tested assembly | NO (tested doorset) | Tested doorset to AS 1530.4 / AS 1905.1 | H3P1 |
| Safe movement / accessible doorway | DTS | YES | Clear opening width & threshold per AS 1428.1 or safe-movement | Safe movement (Housing Provisions) |
This door uses conventional DTS routes for the majority of dimensions. The only non-DTS path is the optional fire doorset, which relies on a tested assembly. The accessible-doorway dimension is conditional on a Livable Housing design choice; otherwise, safe-movement provisions handle it.
| Dimension | Option | Trigger | NCC Performance Requirement (Section) | DTS pathway available? | DTS clause path | Performance Solution pathway | AS standards triggered (number + scope) | Evidence required |

| Safe movement / doorway access | Single | Conditional: dwelling is designed to Livable Housing / accessible standard (AS 1428.1 door access); safe-movement provisions otherwise | Safe movement (clause-rag-verify-pending) | YES | Clear opening width & threshold per AS 1428.1 (accessible) or safe-movement provisions (general) | Not required (DTS path used) | AS 1428.1 | doorway width + threshold detail |
Scope notes for this matrix: External wind action, external doorset, weatherproofing junction, weather resistance, energy efficiency, bushfire BAL, and durability/termite are not applicable to this internal door part. Thermal whole-wall R and termite management are scoped out at the part level.
Each chain row illustrates the six-step compliance chain (NCC entry, Performance Requirement, route, AS standards, Evidence DMC, Certifications DMC) for one dimension. Conditional dimensions include an applicability pill.

| B | Fire doorset FRL (conditional) | AS 1530.4 / AS 1905.1 | 1 | Phase 2 | Fire | AU (if required) |
A standard internal door requires no bespoke structural/acoustic/weather testing. Glazing safety is met by selecting a glass certified to AS 1288 (supplier evidence, not a project test). The fire-doorset FRL test (Test B) is a Phase 2 / conditional item only triggered when the door sits in a fire-rated wall. Acoustic and thermal tests are not part of this internal-door part-level program.

The spec book for this part currently contains no compliance entries. For a conventional aluminium internal door, the dominant path is straightforward DTS with a gated conditional fire doorset and an optional Livable Housing extension. We recommend Option 2: pivot to a DTS-first Phase 1 launch. This door uses certified components, so the DTS route is the natural selection. The fire-doorset and accessible-doorway requirements are added as gated, conditional extensions that activate only where project conditions demand them, leaving the baseline part free of complexity for non-fire/general housing builds. This approach keeps the Phase 1 DTS path clean, accelerates launch, and defers the heavier conditional items until their triggers are confirmed. The spec book should be populated accordingly, with conditional items noted as optional addenda.

For a standard Class 1a dwelling, the aluminium skirting and cornice trim (TR-001, TR-002) provides a non-combustible, durable interior finish. Compliance is straightforward: the trim itself is non-structural and non-loadbearing, so the builder is only required to hold a Product Technical Statement (PTS) that declares the aluminium alloy, extrusion conformity, and powdercoat durability. Where the trim is installed in a wet area, the builder must ensure the junction is waterproofed to AS 3740 and hold an installer waterproofing certificate; if it is installed on a wall required to have a fire-resistance level (FRL) a performance solution is required because no DTS pathway exists -- the assembly including the trim must be tested to AS 1530.4. For the integrated-LED variant (TR-002) the electrical work is low-voltage and must be installed and certified to AS/NZS 3000 by a licensed electrician.
| Option | Pathway | Trim role | Fixing | Capacity | Testing required | NCC route |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | DTS material declaration + conditional wet-area/fire/electrical pathways | Non-structural, indoor trim; covers junction only. Does not carry load or provide fire resistance. | Mechanically fixed with concealed fixings; no load-transfer to primary structure. | N/A (non-structural) | Powdercoat durability test only (routine). Fire/wet-area tests conditional. | NCC Vol 2 A5G3 (evidence of suitability) + conditional H3P1, H4, electrical installation provisions |
Baseline: This is a non-structural interior trim part. In most installations the only compliance pathway required is a material Product Technical Statement (PTS) addressing alloy, extrusion conformity, and powdercoat durability. Where the trim runs through a wet area, the builder must follow AS 3740 waterproofing and retain a certificate. Where it is installed on a rated separating wall, a Performance Solution via AS 1530.4 assembly test is necessary because no DTS route exists. The integrated-LED variant (TR-002) requires electrical certification to AS/NZS 3000.

Scope notes for this matrix: Structural dimensions (structural adequacy, bracing, resistance to horizontal loads) are not applied at this part level , the trim is non-structural interior covering. Termite/durability, external bushfire, and acoustic separation dimensions are also scoped out at part level; those attributes are addressed in the primary wall/system assembly. Thermal whole-wall R-value and termite management are modelled at the building element level and are not within the scope of this non-structural trim component.

Testing program gating logic: The aluminium skirting and cornice itself requires no structural or weathertightness testing. The only routine material test is powdercoat durability (Test A). Fire-resistance testing (Test B) is triggered only if the trim is installed on a rated separating wall (party wall, boundary walls) and must be addressed by fire-engineering assessment or full assembly test. Wet-area waterproofing inspection (Test C) is required only where the skirting is located in a wet area. The integrated LED (TR-002) is verified by an electrical compliance certificate; no separate lab test is required for the trim part itself. Thermal whole-wall R-value and termite durability are scoped out at the part level.

The Aurora insulated sectional garage door (Type GD) is a factory-made opening assembly installed in an external wall of a Class 1a dwelling. The leaf is supplied as a proprietary component -- Aurora does not manufacture it. The door hangs from a timber-framed rough opening (header/lintel and jambs) that carries building loads. Option A follows a Deemed-to-Satisfy (DTS) path: the timber opening is sized and built to AS 1684, the door leaf is selected from a manufacturer's range to a declared wind class (AS 4055), and the perimeter is flashed and sealed to keep water out. This is the Phase 1 launch baseline and requires no part-specific testing beyond supplier product documentation. Option B is a Performance Solution (PS) track for cases where DTS limits are exceeded or for fire-rated or bushfire-FZ openings; it uses engineer-of-record calculations, full-scale assembly tests, and certified fire-rated or BAL FZ products. All leaf spec values (thickness, weight, U-value, wind class) are currently TBC and will be locked down once the supplier is chosen.
| Option | Pathway | Door/opening role | Site framing | Capacity | Testing required | NCC route |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | DTS short-term (Phase 1 baseline) | Proprietary insulated sectional door selected to wind class | Timber lintel/header + jambs sized per AS 1684; fixings per AS 4055 | Standard residential openings 5000 x 2400 | None beyond supplier product compliance | NCC H1 (structural), H2P2 (weather), H6P1 (energy) DTS; H7 BAL up to 40 DTS |
| B | Performance Solution medium-term (Phase 2) | Same door leaf, but engineered opening + optional fire-rated or BAL FZ product | Engineered framing if AS 1684 limits exceeded; otherwise same as Option A | Larger or atypical openings; fire/BAL FZ triggers | Full-assembly weather (AS/NZS 4284), fire FRL (AS 1530.4), BAL FZ (AS 1530.8.2) as triggered | NCC H1, H2P2, H3P1, H7 via PS; material evidence under A5G3 |
Baseline: Option A is Phase 1 launch path. Option B is triggered on a per-project basis when DTS limits are exceeded or a conditioned space/fire/BAL FZ scenario applies.

The Aurora PIS records spec_book_narrative_decision: 2. That decision favours Option A (DTS) as the Phase 1 launch path. The Spec Book should therefore prioritise DTS-referenced standards (AS 1684, AS 4055, AS 3959, AS/NZS 4200 series, AS 4505, AS/NZS 60335.2.95) for immediate inclusion. Performance Solution standards (AS 1530.4, AS 1530.8.2) are marked DEFER (Phase 2). The fire-rated and BAL FZ standards will be added only when a project triggers the need; until then the Option B PS pathways remain documented but untested. This dual-track approach allows Aurora to launch with full DTS compliance for the majority of standard installations while maintaining a clear path to PS when site conditions demand it.

This document maps the compliance of the Wet Area Floor Pan (covering part IDs: WA-FLR-001). The pan is a factory-made, laser-cut high-density PIR foam tray with a 1:80 fall to a drain. It arrives on site with a fleece-backed PVC sheet membrane already fully adhered, and includes a 200mm x 50mm x 3mm aluminium perimeter angle. The pan sits on top of the structural floor tray inside a wet area and does not carry any building loads -- it is purely a pre-formed waterproofing platform. Builders drop it in, integrate the wall membrane with the aluminium upstand, and connect the waste to provide a code-compliant wet-area floor in one piece.
The standard path for a typical detached Class 1a wet area is Option A -- Deemed-to-Satisfy (DTS). The pan's primary job (waterproofing + moisture management) is addressed through AS 3740 and standard damp-proofing measures. A Performance Solution path (Option B) only comes into play when the same floor also acts as a fire or acoustic separator between two attached Class 1a dwellings (duplex, townhouse). For those conditional scenarios, assembly-level testing is required.
| Option | Pathway | When to use |
|---|---|---|
| A | DTS | All wet areas in a detached Class 1a dwelling, or where the floor is not a separating element. Waterproofing, rising damp, and material declarations are handled through DTS. |
| B | Performance Solution | Only where the wet-area floor also forms part of a fire-separating system between two attached Class 1a dwellings (fire) or separates two attached dwellings (acoustic). DTS is not available for a foam-floor-pan assembly; testing is required. |
Baseline: Aurora Living's standard launch path is Option A (DTS). Option B is conditional and requires additional fire and acoustic assembly testing before deployment in attached-dwelling projects.

Scope notes for this matrix: The floor pan is non-structural; structural adequacy is out of scope at the pan level (structural floor is a separate KoP part). Thermal foam R-value is a material property and not a whole-floor thermal rating -- whole-floor thermal performance is out of scope at this part level. Termite management is a site-level scope item. AS 4654 (external above-ground membranes) is not triggered; this is an internal wet-area application.

Gating logic: Option A (DTS waterproofing) requires only the waterproofing verification (Test A) and the PIR foam flammability declaration (Test B) -- no assembly-level fire or acoustic testing is needed for standard detached dwellings. Option B (Performance Solution separating floor) activates the Phase 2 fire and acoustic tests (Tests C and D) only when the floor pan is part of an attached-dwelling separating assembly. Thermal foam R-value is handled as a material declaration to AS/NZS 4859.1, not a test.

All AS standards listed above must be incorporated into the spec book. AS/NZS 4859.1 is required only as a reference for the PIR foam R-value declaration; it does not impose a whole-floor thermal requirement. AS 3740 is the primary DTS waterproofing path and must be added immediately. Fire and acoustic standards (AS 1530.4, AS 1530.2, and the ISO suite) are required for Option B only and can be DEFER (Phase 2) if Aurora chooses to launch with Option A exclusively. A dual-track approach (Option A now, Option B accelerated for attached-dwelling projects) keeps the standard DTS launch while procuring testable assemblies for future expansion.

The Stainless Steel Grated Drain (part ID DR-001) is a 316 stainless steel polished linear grated drain designed for Class 1a residential shower floors. It is a 2000mm long x 120mm wide x 24mm deep prefabricated channel, supplied in 1.0m lengths, with an integrated shower-screen-support slot that enables drainage from both sides of the screen. The unit functions as a trafficable wet-area floor waste, capturing water and directing it to a central waste hole that connects to the building's drainage system. 316 stainless steel provides corrosion resistance for the permanently wet environment. The finished assembly includes a removable grate and sits within the waterproofed floor build-up, integrating with the membrane and floor falls to achieve compliant drainage.
This drainage component does not require a performance solution or part-level test programme. Every compliance dimension is addressed by a single Deemed-to-Satisfy (DTS) pathway. The table below lists each dimension, the NCC route, and the testing obligation.

Narrative tail - Spec Book options
Three strategic pathways exist for managing this component in the Spec Book: 1. Keep the current emphasis on performance-based specifications, adding these standards as informative references only. 2. Pivot to a DTS-first approach for Phase 1 launch, directly embedding the Deemed-to-Satisfy compliance pathway for this drainage part (recommended given its straightforward DTS nature). 3. Continue a dual-track approach, maintaining both DTS and potential future performance solutions.
The PIS spec_book_narrative_decision is 2 (pivot to DTS for Phase 1 launch). This decision leverages the simple, fully DTS nature of the drain, reduces design risk, and accelerates compliance sign-off.

The CS Composite Stone Panel is a thin, lightweight surface finish comprising a silica-free stone veneer bonded to an aluminium honeycomb backing (~10mm total thickness, 2400x1000mm sheets, polished for walls / honed for floors). It is used as an internal non-structural finish for benchtops, vanity tops, splashbacks, hearths, wet-area surfaces, and stone floor tiles. As a Class 1a surface finish, its compliance pathway is driven by four NCC dimensions (material fitness, durability, conditional wet-area waterproofing, and conditional floor slip resistance) plus a hard silica-free procurement constraint under WHS RCS prohibition (1 July 2024). Structural, fire, acoustic, thermal, and external weatherproofing dimensions are out of scope at the part level.
This part is a non-structural internal surface finish. There is no structural Option A (DTS bracing) / Option B (performance-solution composite) split. Compliance follows a single Class 1 evidence-of-suitability framework with two conditional dimensions triggered by use case (wet-area waterproofing, floor slip resistance).
Baseline: The part is delivered under the Class 1 evidence-of-suitability framework (NCC A2G2/A5G3). Waterproofing (H4) and slip-resistance dimensions are only triggered when the part is used in a wet area or as a trafficable floor surface respectively.
| Dimension | Trigger | Pathway | NCC route |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 Material fitness | Always | Performance Solution (PTS, supplier declarations, manufacturing QA) | NCC A5G3 (evidence of suitability) |
| D2 Waterproofing (wet area) | Conditional: wet-area location | DTS available (AS 3740 junction/waterproofing detail) | NCC H4 (wet areas) |
| D3 Durability of surface finish | Always | Performance Solution (durability declaration, maintenance schedule) | NCC H7 (durability) |
| D4 Slip resistance (trafficable) | Conditional: floor or walking surface | DTS available (AS 4586 classification, AS 4663) | NCC safe-movement provision (clause-rag-verify-pending) |
| (WHS only) Silica prohibition | Always (procurement) | WHS procurement constraint -- not an NCC route | WHS respirable crystalline silica prohibition (1 July 2024) |
| Dimension | Option | Trigger | NCC Performance Requirement (Section) | DTS pathway available? | DTS clause path | Performance Solution pathway | AS standards triggered (number + scope) | Evidence required |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| D1 Material / fitness-for-purpose | All | Always | A5G3 (evidence of suitability) | NO | N/A | Product Technical Statement + supplier declarations + manufacturing QA under A2G2/A5G3 | clause-deferred-July (A5G3 framework) | PTS + material declarations + silica-free confirmation |
| D2 Waterproofing -- wet-area surface | All | Conditional: the composite stone surface is located in a wet area (bathroom, laundry, WC, or shower zone) | H4 (wet areas / waterproofing) | YES | AS 3740 wet-area waterproofing provisions | N/A (DTS accepted) | AS 3740 | Wet-area waterproofing design + AS 3740 junction detail |
| D3 Durability of surface finish | All | Always | H7 (durability) | NO | N/A | Material durability declaration and finish maintenance schedule under H7 | clause-deferred-July | Durability declaration + finish maintenance schedule |
| D4 Slip resistance -- trafficable surface | All | Conditional: the composite stone forms a floor or trafficable walking surface (does not apply to benchtops or vanity tops) | Safe-movement / slip provision (clause-rag-verify-pending) | YES | AS 4586 slip-resistance classification | N/A (DTS accepted) | AS 4586, AS 4663 | Slip-resistance classification to AS 4586 + floor finish spec |
Scope notes: The following dimensions are out of scope at the part level and are never applicable to an internal non-structural Class 1 surface finish: structural (load-bearing), external weatherproofing / WRB, thermal whole-wall R-value, fire FRL / Group / BAL, and acoustic Rw+Ctr. Group ratings, AS 1530.1, AS 1530.3, AS 5637.1, AS/NZS 3837, and AS 5113 are Volume One (Class 2-9) provisions and do not apply. The WHS respirable crystalline silica prohibition (1 July 2024) is not an NCC Performance Requirement; it is handled as a procurement constraint in Sections 5 and 7.
The four compliance dimensions for the CS Composite Stone Panel are shown below. Dimensions D1/D3 are always-active Performance Solution paths. Dimensions D2/D4 are conditional DTS paths, triggered only when the part is used in a wet area or as a trafficable floor surface.

The material-fitness (D1) and durability (D3) dimensions are satisfied by declaration and the evidence-of-suitability framework under A5G3/H7; no destructive test is required at the part level. Slip-resistance Test A is required only where the part is used as a floor or trafficable surface. Wet-area waterproofing verification Test/assessment B is required only where the part is located in a wet area. Silica-free composition verification C is a mandatory procurement gate applicable to every application of this part. No fire, acoustic, structural, or weathertightness assembly tests apply to this surface finish.

Heat Recovery Ventilator (type HRV). Covers part IDs: HRV-001. The Heat Recovery Ventilator is a hard-wired, ducted mechanical ventilation unit that continuously supplies fresh filtered air and recovers heat through an air-to-air heat-exchange core. It carries no structural or weatherproofing role - it is a service appliance supplied to a performance datasheet. Compliance turns on four things only: mechanical ventilation to NCC H4, electrical installation to the Wiring Rules, fire-stopping where ductwork penetrates a fire-separating element (NCC H3P1, conditional on attached-dwelling construction), and material durability to NCC H7.

Type id: VD (Service) | NCC Class 1a | Covers part IDs: VD-001 | Standard: WP-EXT-001 v4
The Aurora Ventilation Duct is an insulated supply/extract duct network for a Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) serving a Class 1a dwelling. It must deliver mechanical ventilation in line with NCC H4 (using AS 1668.2/1668.4); where the duct penetrates a fire-resisting separating element it must reinstate that element's FRL via a Performance Solution; and all duct materials and insulation must be durable against in-service conditions. The detailed physical specification (duct sizing, material, insulation R-value, weight) is TBC pending MasterData backfill.
This is a single-pathway service part. Each dimension has a fixed compliance route: Deemed-to-Satisfy (DTS) for mechanical ventilation and durability, and a Performance Solution (PS) for fire-stopping where the duct penetrates a fire-rated element. No Option A/B split applies.
| Dimension | Trigger | Route | NCC Section | Testing required | NCC route |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mechanical Ventilation | Always | DTS | H4 | No part-level testing | DTS |
| Service Penetration Fire-Stopping | Conditional -- duct penetrates a fire-resisting separating element | PS | H3P1 | AS 1530.4 penetration test (conditional) | Performance Solution |
| Material Durability | Always | DTS | H7 | Supplier declarations only | DTS |
Baseline: the duct network complies through DTS for ventilation and durability; the fire-stopping Performance Solution is invoked only where penetrations of fire-rated separating elements occur.

Gating logic: Mechanical Ventilation and Material Durability comply via DTS and require none of the above part-level tests; the duct network is designed under standard AS 1668 ventilation rules and declared durable via supplier DoC. Test A (penetration fire-stopping) is a Phase 2 extension required only where the duct penetrates a fire-resisting separating element. Thermal whole-building R-value is a system attribute and is not part of this part-level test programme.

Spec Book reconciliation narrative:
Three paths are available for VD-001: 1) keep the current emphasis and accelerate testing (i.e., procure the fire-stopping test immediately and backfill MasterData specs); 2) pivot to a DTS-only Phase 1 launch -- launch with the ventilation and durability DTS pathways, deferring the fire-stopping Performance Solution until penetrations actually occur; or 3) dual-track both the DTS launch and the fire-stopping test preparation in parallel to retain full design flexibility. Given that VD-001 is a single-pathway service part, option 2 (DTS launch for ventilation and durability, fire-stopping PS only where penetrations arise) is the natural baseline and minimises upfront testing.

The Aurora Pre-Finished Wall Liner is a satin-smooth, pre-coloured wall covering supplied in 2700 mm wide x 20 m rolls (min. 1.3 mm thick). It is iron-on bonded to the internal face of SIP wall and ceiling panels using a factory-applied 3M Y582A heat-activated film, delivering a painted-plasterboard appearance with zero site painting. The liner is purely a surface finish -- it carries no structural load, no external weatherproofing duty, and no bushfire resistance. Because Aurora builds only Class 1a houses, the heavy Volume One lining-fire tests (group ratings, AS 1530.1, AS 1530.3, AS 5637.1, AS/NZS 3837, AS 5113) do not apply. Its compliance footprint is therefore small: material fitness for purpose is always required; fire and acoustic duties only arise when the liner is part of a separating (party) wall between attached dwellings; and waterproofing only applies in wet areas. In all other locations the liner is finished under evidence-of-suitability, backed by a Product Technical Statement and supplier declarations.
A liner has a single compliance pathway per dimension -- no structural Option A / Option B split. Material fitness for purpose is satisfied Deemed-to-Satisfy (DtS) via NCC A5G3 evidence of suitability, with supplier DoC consolidated into a Product Technical Statement. The conditional party-wall fire and acoustic duties follow Performance Solution pathways based on full-scale assembly tests. The conditional wet-area duty follows a DtS pathway to AS 3740.

Scope notes: Structural, external weatherproofing and bushfire dimensions do not apply to a non-structural internal liner. The Volume One lining-fire tests (Group ratings, AS 1530.1, AS 1530.3, AS 5637.1, AS/NZS 3837, AS 5113) are not triggered for Class 1a construction and have been removed from this map.

For a standard internal liner (material fitness-for-purpose pathway only) NONE of the above tests are required. The wall lining is finished under the NCC A5G3 evidence-of-suitability pathway, supported by supplier DoC and a Product Technical Statement. Tests A and B are conditional extensions, triggered ONLY when the liner forms part of a rated separating (party) wall between attached Class 1a dwellings: Test A unlocks the party-wall FRL, Test B unlocks the party-wall acoustic rating. The wet-area waterproofing duty is satisfied DtS to AS 3740, with no part-level laboratory test required.

This compliance map covers the Aurora Living internal joinery carcass -- a non-loadbearing, pre-assembled moisture-resistant MDF cabinetry unit used in kitchens (JN-001), bathroom vanities (JN-002), wardrobes (JN-003), and linen/storage (JN-004). Because it is internal cabinetry in a Class 1a dwelling, the baseline compliance path is straightforward Deemed-to-Satisfy through material standards and cabinetry-performance declarations. Wet-area waterproofing applies only to the kitchen and vanity variants, and there are conditional fire and acoustic requirements only if the carcass is integrated into a required fire-separating or inter-tenancy acoustic assembly. Standard DTS declarations cover the carcass's structural adequacy, formaldehyde emissions, durability, and rising damp mitigation; no physical fire or acoustic tests are required for typical installations.
Joinery is predominantly a Deemed-to-Satisfy (DTS) problem for internal cabinetry; the material-based pathway uses panel-product certifications and cabinetry fitness-for-purpose standards. A Performance Solution pathway is invoked solely when the carcass forms part of a fire- or acoustic-separating element, because no DTS route exists for those conditions. The table below summarises the two pathway options.
| Pathway | Scope | When it applies | Testing required | NCC route |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DTS baseline | Material suitability, structural adequacy, durability, waterproofing (wet areas), damp protection | Standard installation -- carcass is internal, non-loadbearing, not in a separating element | None beyond supplier declarations and standard cabinetry performance evidence | Deemed-to-Satisfy |
| Performance Solution (conditional) | Fire resistance when forming part of a fire-separating assembly; acoustic separation when integrated into an inter-tenancy separating wall | Only where the carcass is built into a required fire-rated or sound-rated separating element | Laboratory fire test to AS 1530.4 (conditional); laboratory sound insulation test to AS/NZS ISO 10140 (conditional) | Performance Solution |

Scope notes for this matrix: The bench/worktop surface attributes (engineered-stone or solid-surface tops, slip resistance, etc.) are mapped on the composite-stone surface-finish part, not on this joinery carcass type. Thermal whole-wall R-value and the site-level termite barrier system are not part-level attributes of internal joinery. For Class 1a buildings, no Group rating or non-combustibility requirement applies to internal cabinetry.

This type covers a silica-free stone benchtop used as a surface joinery element on cabinetry in a Class 1a dwelling. It is not load-bearing, fire-separating, or acoustic-separating. Two construction options are available under one compliance type: Option 1 uses a 20mm silica-free composite stone slab (Caesarstone-type, silica removed) with 20mm edges; Option 2 uses an ultra-compact porcelain panel (Dekton-type) laminated to a wood-based backing substrate with a 20mm apron. Compliance is achieved through deemed-to-satisfy material declarations (including silica-free and low-formaldehyde evidence) plus wet-area waterproofing where the bench is located in a kitchen, bathroom, or laundry. No structural or fire test suite is required.
| Option | Construction | Surface material | Edge detail | Substrate | Material compliance route | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Option 1 | Composite stone slab, 20mm | Silica-free composite stone (Caesarstone-type) | 20mm edge | None (solid slab) | DTS material declaration (A5G3) | Surface is entirely mineral; no wood-based components. |
| Option 2 | Porcelain-on-backing assembly | Ultra-compact porcelain (Dekton-type) | 20mm apron | Wood-based backing panel | DTS material declaration (A5G3) plus formaldehyde & durability | Porcelain is non-combustible mineral; backing is combustible, wood-based. |
Baseline: Both options comply by deemed-to-satisfy material declaration under NCC A5G3 (evidence of suitability). Where the benchtop is installed in a wet area (kitchen, bathroom, laundry), the waterproofing provisions of NCC H4 apply to both options. Option 2 additionally must address formaldehyde emission from the wood-based substrate and the durability requirements of NCC H7 for the substrate in a wet-area service condition.

Gating logic: This part requires none of the SIP-style structural Tests A--J. Compliance is achieved by supplier material declarations (silica-free composite stone, porcelain technical data, substrate formaldehyde class) plus wet-area waterproofing built and inspected to AS 3740. No Phase 1 / Phase 2 destructive testing applies at the benchtop part level.

Adam, there are three practical ways to move this forward: (1) Keep the benchtop as a pure material-declaration DTS item and add AS 3740 plus the formaldehyde standards to the relevant Spec Book section, leaning on supplier documents for evidence. (2) Extend the type to require a consolidated Product Technical Statement from the supplier before any project use, which formalises all the declarations in one document and simplifies project compliance checks. (3) Dual-track composite stone and porcelain as two declared sub-specifications under the same type, sharing the wet-area and (where applicable) formaldehyde requirements, so each option has clear, traceable evidence paths without conflating the two.

The Engineered Oak Flooring is a 19mm tongue-and-groove overlay with a 4mm European oak wear layer and 15mm plywood backing, glued down over the Aurora composite structural floor. For a standard detached Class 1a home the finish follows simple DTS rules for slip, termite management, thermal performance and timber material. The structural substrate is a separate Aurora part delivered under a Performance Solution, so the finish-layer installation uses that same PS design. If you are building attached dwellings where the floor separates two homes then fire and acoustic tests will be required under a Phase 2 Performance Solution; until those tests are done, use Option A (DTS) for standalone homes.

Spec Book Narrative: The Engineered Oak Flooring kit-of-parts currently has no spec book entry. Three options exist: (1) keep Phase 2 emphasis and accelerate Option B (Performance Solution) for attached dwellings; (2) pivot the Spec Book to Option A DTS for the Phase 1 launch, covering standalone homes only; or (3) dual-track both. FF-OAK is currently set to decision (2), Option A DTS, per the Project Initiation Strategy (PIS). All TBC and supplier gaps will be resolved in Phase 1, with Phase 2 additions deferred for attached-dwelling fire, acoustic, and thermal performance.

The Wool Blend Carpet is a loop-pile, 50 per cent wool blend soft floor finish installed over a high-quality underlay. It is a non-structural, site-laid finish placed on top of Aurora's structural composite floor. The carpet provides user comfort and appearance; it does not contribute bracing or structural capacity.
Its compliance roles are: - Finish serviceability (always): the carpet-and-underlay assembly must remain serviceable under normal residential use, demonstrated through installation method and QA, with the structural floor capacity proven via the Aurora floor Performance Solution. - Separating-floor acoustic (conditional): when the floor is a separating (intertenancy) floor between attached Class 1a dwellings (duplex / townhouse), impact and airborne acoustic performance must be shown. This is a lab-test gated Performance Solution. - Separating-floor fire resistance (FRL) (conditional): where the floor is a separating floor requiring a fire-resistance level, an FRL must be established. The FRL is an attribute of the whole floor assembly, not the carpet alone; testing is via AS 1530.4. - Thermal floor element contribution (conditional): when the floor forms part of the thermal envelope (e.g. suspended over unconditioned space), the carpet and underlay contribute to the floor element's thermal performance, entered into a NatHERS or elemental Deemed-to-Satisfy (DtS) assessment using declared material R-values. - Material register (always): carpet face and underlay must be fit-for-purpose under NCC A5G3 evidence-of-suitability, supported by supplier DoCs.
Slip resistance is not a meaningful compliance dimension for soft carpet; AS 4586 and AS 4663 apply to hard-surface finishes only.
| Dimension | Trigger | NCC route | DTS available? | Pathway summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Floor-finish serviceability | Always | H1 | No | Performance Solution: installation method + Aurora floor system PS |
| Separating-floor impact + airborne acoustic | Conditional (separating (intertenancy) floor) | NCC Volume Two separating-floor acoustic (clause-rag-verify-pending) | No | Performance Solution: lab test (AS/NZS ISO 10140 / 717) |
| Separating-floor fire resistance (FRL) | Conditional (separating floor requiring FRL) | H3P1 | No | Performance Solution: AS 1530.4 test of whole floor assembly |
| Thermal floor element | Conditional (floor part of thermal envelope) | H6P1 | Yes | DtS: NatHERS rating or elemental DtS using declared R-values |
| Material register (carpet + underlay) | Always | A5G3 | Yes | DtS: supplier DoC and material declarations |
Baseline: Serviceability and material compliance are routine, handled through installation QA and supplier documentation. Acoustic and fire-resistance compliance are only triggered on separating (intertenancy) floors and are Performance-Solution / test-gated, deferred to Phase 2. Thermal contribution is a routine DtS input for energy-rating models.
| Dimension | Option | Trigger | NCC Performance Requirement (Section) | DTS pathway available? | DTS clause path | Performance Solution pathway | AS standards triggered (number + scope) | Evidence required |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Each dimension below follows the six-step compliance chain: NCC entry, Performance Requirement, DTS or PS pathway, AS standards, Evidence DMC, Certifications DMC. Conditional dimensions include an applicability pill.
| Material | Spec Book reference | AS standards triggered (number + scope) | DoC required from supplier? | Status / gap marker |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carpet face (50% wool blend, loop pile) | This type (FF-CARP) | AS/NZS 4859.1 (if thermal declaration); carpet textile standards TBC | Yes | supplier-doc-required |
| High-quality underlay | This type (FF-CARP) | AS/NZS 4859.1 (if thermal declaration); underlay product standards TBC | Yes | supplier-doc-required |
| Test | Description | Standard | Qty | Phase | Domain | Location |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | Separating floor impact + airborne acoustic | AS/NZS ISO 10140 + AS/NZS ISO 717.1/717.2 | TBC | 2 | Acoustic | AU |
| B | Separating floor FRL | AS 1530.4 | TBC | 2 | Fire | AU |
| C | Material thermal R-value declaration | AS/NZS 4859.1 | TBC | 2 | Thermal | TBC |
Gating logic: Serviceability and material register compliance require no lab tests -- they rely on routine declarations, installation QA, and supplier DoCs. The acoustic and FRL tests are triggered only where the floor is a separating (intertenancy) floor; both are Phase 2 deliverables. The thermal declaration supports the NatHERS / elemental DtS energy assessment and is Phase 2.

Narrative: With spec_book_narrative_decision set to 3 (dual-track), the compliance strategy splits into two concurrent workstreams. The "Phase 1 DtS launch" track supports non-separating-floor deployments (individual Class 1a dwellings) where only serviceability, material declarations, and routine thermal DtS inputs are needed -- these can proceed immediately with supplier DoCs and QA. The "Phase 2 Performance Solution track" prepares for intertenancy (separating-floor) applications by funding the acoustic and FRL test campaigns, engaging consultants, and closing the gap actions listed in Section 7. This dual track keeps early revenue projects unblocked while progressively unlocking the conditional separating-floor compliance requirements.
