Site conditions, wind and roofing in Mickleham VIC
The bracing and tie-down schedule for your frame is designed against a wind classification under AS 4055, stated in your engineering. We check the fixings achieve what the plans require rather than assuming they do, because missing bracing has been our most serious recurring Mickleham finding. On the roof, unsealed penetrations and damaged sheets are what let weather through.

Roof penetrations need proper flashing, not sealant alone.
Damaged or dented roof sheets shorten the life of the covering.
Capping grading decides whether water reaches the gutter or sits.
