The frame is where every serious structural finding on a Mickleham build has come from. It is also the last time any of it is visible.
Bracing missing from the engineering plans, slabs out of level and trusses landing on non load bearing walls have all been recorded on Mickleham frames. None of those can be seen once plaster is on.

Because it is the last look at structure, and in Mickleham it is where the serious findings are.
The wall was not built to carry that load. It is a design and construction issue that has to be resolved before lining.
We check how they are supported, fixed and braced. The truss design is certified by the fabricator.
Each finding cites the plan or the standard, so it is a discussion about the drawing.
AS 1684 for timber framing, with AS 4055 for wind classification.
No, which is the whole point of this stage.
