Class 3 Residential

Residential Accommodation Designed Around Its Purpose

Class 3 buildings serve a specific role within Australia’s National Construction Code (NCC), generally covering residential buildings that provide accommodation for unrelated people. Examples can include boarding houses, guest houses, hostels and certain other accommodation facilities.

Morewell Homes recognises that these projects require careful consideration of their intended use, design requirements and applicable building regulations.

Planning for Functional Accommodation

Depending on the project and approved design, key considerations may include:

Practical Room Layouts

Plan accommodation spaces around the intended use and occupancy.

Shared Facilities

Consider communal kitchens, bathrooms, dining areas and living spaces where required.

Functional Circulation

Plan corridors, access routes and shared areas around the building’s intended use.

Regulatory Considerations

Coordinate the design with applicable NCC provisions, planning controls and approval requirements.

Project-Specific Planning

Consider site constraints, operational needs and the overall project brief.

A Coordinated Approach to Building

Class 3 projects can involve specific requirements relating to fire safety, accessibility, exits, building services and other construction considerations. These requirements depend on the building’s design, classification and applicable regulations.

Morewell Homes aims to work with clients and relevant building professionals to establish project requirements and coordinate an approach suited to the proposed development.
