Fire Separation from the external wall via windows & doors
Our Technical Design Guide #02 applies to buildings of Classes 2 & 3. If your project is a Class 2 or 3 building of Type C construction, it can only be one storey high (refer Table C1.1, NCC 2019 Building Code of Australia - Volume One, page 65). Vertical separation of openings only applies to Type A construction, but clearly could not apply to a building of only one storey, regardless of the type of construction. Your external walls will only be required to have an FRL if they are less than 1.5 m from a fire source feature, as defined in the BCA (refer Table 5, page 98).
