The wet areas, measured

10c

The working drawings write on the short tiled walls, the shower ledges and the set-down, but not the room sizes. These are measured off the drawings, and they are the same in all three dwellings.

There are no bathtubs. The downstairs room labelled BATH is a bathroom: an open shower and a vanity. Dwelling 1 is drawn here; in Dwellings 2 and 3 the shower and WC are on the opposite side, and every size matches within a few millimetres.

Measured in millimetres to the drawn wall faces on the working drawings, revision H, which are exactly 1:100 — and checked against the figures they do write on: the 810 and 600 walls, the 1910 and 1170 ledges, and the 2860-wide wet-area set-down. Tiled walls finish about 20–30 mm smaller each side once board and tile go on. Mastacon verifies on site.

The downstairs rooms are about 50 mm wider than on the planning drawings, because the outside wall is drawn thinner. Nothing else changed.

The drawings mark the downstairs shower and WC “NCC Livability compliant”: step-free, with bathroom walls reinforced so grab rails can go on later.

To confirm or price

Set-downs. Drawn at 45 mm with a screed to fall (WD 08). Confirm the step-free detail for the upstairs ensuite shower, where the floor is Structafloor on joists, not slab.
Water escaping the downstairs shower. The opening is 1.10 m, nearly the shower’s full width. Shower head at the far end, spraying away from the opening; the frameless glass above the half wall; the whole floor falling to a waste.
A linear drain along the far wall lets the shower floor fall one way, so 600 × 600 floor tiles stay whole instead of being cut into wedges.
Grates in matte black, not chrome. The tender (item 29) has “Chrome Smart Grates”; the design is matte black throughout (no chrome anywhere). Please price the linear drains and floor wastes in matte black, all three dwellings.
Step-free entry, downstairs shower. WD 09 marks it an NCC Livable Housing shower, which needs a step-free entry: a water bar of 5 mm or less at the opening, or a second linear drain across it. How will you detail it?
The window inside the downstairs shower sits at 1800–2400 (WD 39), 600 above the ledge. The reveal and sill need waterproofing as part of the shower, with obscure glass since the wall faces the side boundary. Confirm it’s safety glass.
Ensuite WC bay is 0.75 m wide, tight for a guest. Can the shower wall move 100–150 mm?
Ensuite shower entry is 0.62 m. Usable but narrow — confirm it is intended.
Fittings on fluted tile. If the concave tile goes behind the shower mixer, the rail and the basin taps, their round plates need a flat surface to seal against. Will the tiler grind a flat patch, or set a piece of flat tile at each fitting? That decides where the plumber sets the pipes.
Shower ledges: keep them as drawn (WD 11) in both showers, but topped with one piece of the benchtop stone instead of tile, falling slightly back into the shower. Price the stone top, and confirm who fabricates it with the vanity tops.
A ceiling downlight over each shower ledge, so it’s lit from above with no wiring in the wet area. Confirm on the electrical plans (WD 14, 25, 36).
Shower screen: frameless. The 810 wall is to be half height, about 1100, with a fixed frameless glass panel above it to about 2000. Intended: 12 mm toughened held on two edges only, in channels recessed into the half wall and the back wall before tiling, so no metal shows and the tile runs to the glass. No bar or ceiling post. Confirm the wall height, that the recessed channels are allowed for in the framing, and that a panel this size (810 × 900) needs nothing more.
Vanities: custom floating joinery with a recessed shadow line under the benchtop and between the drawer rows as the finger pull, not flush fronts. Laminex AbsoluteGrain Classic Oak is the lead colour. Who makes them?
Timber-look floor in a wet area — tile or vinyl, and how it is waterproofed. Answered: the wet areas are tiled in Life Bianco.
How many bathrooms per dwelling get the feature wall — all of them, or the ensuite only? Answered: all three rooms (bathroom, washroom, ensuite), as on Harriett's tiling mark-up.
Exhaust fans that run themselves in every bathroom and WC: humidity-sensing, with a run-on timer, ducted outside. Guests don’t switch fans on.
A night light: the under-vanity LED strip on a motion sensor, at a low level, for night-time trips.
Heated towel rails, matte black, hard-wired and on a timer. Downstairs it goes on the dry wall just outside the shower opening, clear of the door swing, not inside the shower.
Shower glass: a 150 mm radius on the free top corner of the frameless panel.
Price as options, so they can be decided on cost: a protective coating on the shower glass; epoxy grout in the showers; electric in-floor heating under the bathroom tiles, on a timer (per bathroom); and PVD matte black tapware and accessories against standard powder-coated matte black, because Adelaide’s hard water marks the standard finish.
