THE DETAIL I USED TO DO MY ASSIGNMENT.
BIRDS-EYE-VIEW OF BOX GUTTER MODEL
NOTE LAYERS FROM BOTTOM - 35mm STEEL BRACKET SUPPORTING 10mm PLYWOOD, SPANDEK STEEL TO ALLOW FOR AIR TO FLOW BETWEEN BOX GUTTER AND PLYWOOD, 10mm BITUMEN TO GLUE DOWN THE BOX GUTTER AND ALSO ALLOWS FOR A GAP FOR AIR. AIR GAPS REMOVE POSSIBILITY OF CONDENSATION.
ISOMETRIC VIEW OF MODEL
SILICON IN SAW CUT TO SEAL OFF FLASHING, NOTE HOW FLASHING IS BENT 
Investments in Australian construction shares are booming as usual lately, but it's always at what cost - at what cost is it to the environment? Someone is profiting every time you start the car, same goes for buildings.
This article pretty much says our future's not looking good. If we don't move towards saving the environment through sustainable use of building products and energy consumption all of the above will keep happening and we will be too unhappy to even care about what sort of a house we live in, because we won't even have the basics - water, power shortages!
Looks like finance growth is on the rise since last year. The cycle has begun once again and I think we may begin to see a nice price drop in some regions of real estate.
Reducing annual operating costs from $120 a square metre to $60 is a fair reduction. The problem I think is that initially sustainable buildings cost a lot more to build, but in the long term they pay off. This shows the industry is moving towards total sustainability management philosophy, however I think it will be many, many years before the big people out there start making big changes. I just hope by then it's not too late.
Bricklayers building a wall at the back of this shed.
Galvanised colums and c-sections were used for this shed. This is done by a company that specialises in building sheds. Mild steel is not necessary for such structures.
Note colourbond cladding, safety mesh on roof, with A purlins spaced at 12oo centres, and cross bracing which would be the same at the other end.
Flashing cast into saw cut in brickwork. This flashing prevents water penetrating the building and directs water from the parapet down into the box gutter.
Typical box gutter, about 20 years old still going strong. Note the flashing how it runs continuously right up to the capping of the parapet brick wall.
The idea of stormwater detention is to reduce the flow of water into the main drain. This is something outrageous for us since there's never been a requirement for such a complex stormwater system on any of our unit developments.
Above shows the building with the little cantilever extrusion on the right which might act like a skylight as well as extra office area.
Typical custom orb wall cladding over tilt-up slab wall.
above shows the crane lifting the two rafters in place to secure the apex of the portal frame.
Box gutter - stormwater box can be seen here.
This building has just had its roof put on.
Conduit pipes stored on site (could have taken some if I had a truck...)
Prime example of stack-casting tilt-up concrete slabs.
Tie down rods that are deep in the concrete slab. They are bolted to tie down the staunchion.
Ceiling bracing - note the tensioners on the cross braces.
TYPICAL KNEE JOINT
Typical tilt-up concrete panel temporary bracing. It's removed when the building can brace itself, or whenever the engineer gives the 'all clear'.
Crane/lift platform for the tradesmen to work on. It's probably the most practical of the methods, an alternative being a mobile scaffold or temporary scaffold system.
