25/02/2025
1.
Name a recent project (and suburb) where you have designed waterproofing for an internal wet area. This project must have included either a douche room, steam room, birthing suite or bathroom with a type 2 open unenclosed shower.
2.
For the above project, describe what tasks or actions you undertook for the project.
3.
Name a recent project (and suburb) where you have designed waterproofing for strata building (e.g. apartments, offices). This project must have included a roof top podium deck, multi-level balconies, multi-level below ground space with lift pit, habitable below ground dry space and an open unenclosed group shower area.
