It is important to ensure that all personnel on site have access to accurate, up to date technical information on the many products, materials and equipment used on a project.  In most cases individual products are not used in isolation, but form part of a building process. Also a particular manufacturer and/or supplier requirements for handling, storage, preparation, installation, finishing and protection of their product can vary from what might be considered the norm. Access to technical information can help overcome this potential problem.

~ years to ~ years are the sort of warranty periods that can be expected depending on material selection and project conditions.  Check with the manufacturer/supplier for their specific periods.

Modify or expand the clause to suit project or manufacturer/supplier requirements, options include:

• Modify the form to be used
• Commence the warranty from the date of purchase (check with the manufacturer/supplier)

Modify or expand the clause to suit project or installer/applicator requirements, options include:

• Modify the form to be used
• Commence the warranty from the date of installation (check with the installer/applicator)

Rondo Building Services Pty Ltd offer an engineering design service, delivering project specific documentation prior to consent and tender as an alternative to the Shop Drawing process.  A detailed wind and seismic report as part of the consultant supplied information may be required in order to undertake a design.

By contacting Rondo through the Masterspec work section support function, the design service can be coordinated with this specification section and other consultant documentation.  Rondo project specific documentation can be attached within the specification Contract Appendix.

The general section 1235 SHOP DRAWINGS describes the process of submission and review of shop drawings.  Use this clause to describe the specific requirements of what the required shop drawings are to include.

A PS1 from an independent engineer can be provided for a fee.  Rondo are willing to facilitate this process.

Producer Statement - Construction (PS3) required from installers as a condition of carrying out this work.

Producer Statement - Construction Review (PS4) required from consultants to be engaged by the Contractor.

This clause is setting a standard of performance for design to be met by the contractor.

Specifiers should therefore consider adding a means of confirming (say by testing or certification) that the performance criteria will be, or has been met.

Ensure correct information is supplied in 1220 PROJECT.

Use the following clause whether specifying by performance or not.

Load combinations are considered in accordance with AS/NZS 1170.0.

In some seismic areas the connection details may not be valid.

Refer to Rondo Building Services Pty Ltd for advice.

Delete this clause if it does not apply, not all systems can provide a FRR.

Use this clause for parts of the work where:

Special arrangements are required for notification for inspections.
These inspections may include 'Hold Points' or 'Notification Points'.

• Hold Point:  Work may not proceed until the work in question has been inspected.
• Notification Point:  Work may proceed, but with the Contract Administrator being given sufficient notice of this so that they can arrange to observe the work in progress, or not to observe it, as the case may be.

or
The manufacturer/supplier is required to carry out inspections outside their normal activities and provide reports or other documents in support of the work carried out.
or
The Contractor is required to carry out or engage consultants to carry out inspections of parts of the work.  It will typically be expected that the person carrying out the inspections will be required to provide producer statements in support of the work carried out.

A direct-fix ceiling system is located within 200mm of the support structure, and is generally directly fixed to the structural support by rigid connections/brackets.

Rondo KEY-LOCK® comprises a system of furring channels or battens clipped into Direct-Fix Clips that are fitted to a structural support. Direct-Fix clips are suitable for most types of structure (typically timber joist or concrete floor slab). A standard Furring Channel Track is generally used as a perimeter trim to support edges of ceiling linings, and as a bulkhead transition.

KEY-LOCK® is suitable for Non Fire-Rated, Fire-Rated, and Acoustic design applications.

Refer to Rondo for design assistance and advice.

A direct-fix ceiling system is located within 200mm of the supporting structure, is directly fixed to the structural support by rigid connections/brackets.

Rondo SCREWFIX® offers a system of "C" channel and furring channel, allowing for a range of spans for fixings or cleats.

Suitable for supporting screw-fixed board linings e.g. plasterboard, fibrous plaster, and fibre cement.

A direct-fix ceiling system is located within 200mm of the support structure, is directly fixed to the structural support by rigid connections/brackets.

Rondo XPRESS® is a light-weight concealed ceiling grid comprising of Main Tee sections and Cross Tees clipped together using Rondo QRC Clip Technology. XPRESS® is suitable for supporting board ceiling linings e.g. plasterboard, fibrous plaster, and fibre cement linings, for flush ceiling finish. XPRESS® can transition with bulkheads and other ceiling systems, and also be integrated with Rondo Exposed Grid Ceiling Systems. A variety of gypsum panels can also be supported and can be integrated with Rondo DONN® Exposed Grid Ceiling System.

XPRESS® is suitable for Non Fire-Rated, Fire-Rated, and Acoustic design applications.

Use this standard generic clause and if appropriate add additional special requirements.

Use this standard generic clause and if appropriate add additional special requirements.

Confirm loadings with manufacturer.

Note - Although items under 10kg mass are allowed, it is recommended that 7.5kg should be considered as a maximum for attaching to the grid under ULS conditions.

Direct fixed systems may be able to vary loads slightly from the above depending on fixing centres and lining capacity, discuss with manufacturer.  Also with direct fixed systems, subject to design, small lightweight light fittings may be fixed to the lining (for recessed) or lining back support (for pendants).

Amend this clause to describe specific standards and tolerances to be achieved in carrying out this part of the work.  Although such tolerances are typically included in standards (NZS, AS/NZS etc) in certain circumstances it is worth restating these in this clause.

Amend clause to suit selected lining.

As full access in all areas is clearly impractical, any special requirements for clear access will need to be defined; either by description here, or on the drawings.
