If you follow the Australian Standards and manufacturing instructions, there are at least 6 main ones:

• 2mm - Sheeting martial should protrude continuously through render or mortar.

• 20mm - Sheeting martial should protrude continuously under ant capping and external sheeting material.

• 25mm - minimum separation of decks, pergolas, carports from the main structure.

• 35mm - Minimum visual inspection zone can be relaxed if sheeting material has been installed (depends on individual manufacturer’s instructions).

• 75mm - Visual inspection zone from ground to the top edge of the footing or structural timbers.

• 400mm - separation from the lowest point of structural timber (Subfloor bearer) to ground.

Does your house comply? This is not a problem for older homes, the main non-compliance happens on new builds!
