What is a Declared Design?

NSW Fair Trading states that when work is being done on a building element (including waterproofing) on a class 2 building (a building with multiple residences living above or below others such as an apartment building, or a single dwelling building with a garage under the building) a declared design by a registered design practitioner needs to be completed.

What is an External Waterproofing Declared Design?

External waterproofing declared designs refer to the plans and specifications for waterproofing the exterior of a building or structure. This type of waterproofing is designed to protect the building from water damage by preventing water from entering the structure from the outside. External waterproofing can be applied to the foundation, walls, and roof of a building and is often used in areas prone to heavy rainfall or flooding.

There are several different methods and materials that can be used for external waterproofing in Australia, including membrane systems, liquid-applied coatings, and sheet membranes. The choice of waterproofing method will depend on the specific needs and characteristics of the building, as well as the local climate and weather conditions.

When would I need an External Waterproofing Declared Design for my property?

There are a number of situations in which you may need an External Waterproofing Declared Design for your property. If you own or reside in an apartment building, a single dwelling with a carspace underneath, or a residence above a commercial shop, look out for the following issues which may call for an engineer to provide a waterproofing declared design:

  • Leaks/damp patches coming from the ceiling or walls;
  • Windswept rain coming through the windows when they are closed;
  • Leakage from your balcony onto the balcony or garage below;
  • Damp/mouldy carpet near balcony sliding doors.
