Design basis
This section records the basis on which calculations are prepared. On a real project, items below are completed to match the agreed scope, site, and authority requirements.
Applicable standards (indicative)
- AS/NZS 1170.0, 1170.1, 1170.2 (structural design actions) — clauses referenced in calc sheets
- AS 4100 — steel structures (member checks where applicable)
- AS 3600 — concrete structures (where applicable)
- NCC (performance requirements as applicable)

Member check excerpt (illustrative)
The following is a stylised excerpt showing how calculation steps are presented. Numerical values and clause references are redacted or fictional.
Flexural strength — major axis
M* = [REDACTED] kN·m (design bending moment, ULS)
φMn = [REDACTED] kN·m (nominal capacity per AS 4100)
φ = 0.9
Ratio = M* / (φMn) = [REDACTED] → [REDACTED] (PASS / FAIL per project)
Shear
V* = [REDACTED] kN
φVu = [REDACTED] kN (AS 4100 shear provision)
Ratio = V* / φVu = [REDACTED]

Assumptions & exclusions
- Geotechnical parameters: — verify against geotech report.
- Existing structure capacity: not reassessed unless listed in scope.
- Workshop detailing / connection schedules: issued separately where in scope.
- Temporary works, crane loads, and construction methodology: excluded unless stated.
Verify on site
- Dimensions and support conditions match the issued architectural / structural drawings.
- Field-fix variations are referred back for written approval.
- Bracing load paths and tie-down continuity as nominated on drawings.
Limitations
This sample document does not constitute engineering services, a design certificate, or a compliance statement for any jurisdiction. A real package is prepared only under an agreed scope, with qualified review appropriate to the project.
