3 WHY CHOOSE RONDO Rondo is a market leading manufacturer and supplier of wall and ceiling systems and complementary accessories. Our commitment to providing market leading solutions, customer service and high quality products all backed by a written guarantee and leading environmental performance has led us to being behind the best buildings in the world. PRODUCT QUALITY Rondo s steel products have a zinc coating of Z275 (275 grams of zinc per m 2 ) which ensures that the steel has an optimum zinc coating that will continue to sacrifice itself in order to protect the base metal, and therefore be more corrosive resistant. MANUFACTURING CAPABILITIES Rondo uses state of the art manufacturing technology in the production of all of our products and systems, enabling us to produce large customer orders quickly and efficiently. We also have the capacity to perform custom roll-forming to meet specialised customer requirements. High quality raw materials, stringent testing criteria, and world class quality control, ensure that every product meets our exacting specifications. QUALITY CONTROL As market leader, we have a reputation for uncompromising quality and total code compliance. Certification to Lloyd s Register Quality Assurance ISO 9001 is evidence of this. Rondo has been certified to ISO 9001 through thorough analysis and assessment by internal reviews and externally by Lloyd s Register Quality Assurance since June Having a certified quality management system provides Rondo with a competitive advantage against uncertified companies and is a clear demonstration of our commitment to quality. THE RONDO WARRANTY All of Rondo s products are guaranteed by the Rondo Warranty. We guarantee that our products are made from the highest grade quality materials, are totally code compliant, and will perform to our exacting specifications. Every Rondo product not only meets, and often exceeds, all relevant Australian and New Zealand Standards; it also complies with all of the necessary Building Codes. WORLDWIDE PROJECT EXPERIENCE Being at the forefront of innovation, service and quality for over 50 years, Rondo products have been used in major building projects, including Australia s Tallest Building, Q1, the World s Tallest Tower, Burj Khalifa in Dubai, and the World s largest casino, the Venetian in Macau. LEADING ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE Our dedication to identifying, controlling and continually improving the environmental impacts of our business operations has granted us ISO14001 Environmental Management System certification, which we have held since January Choosing our products can also earn our customers a green point. We ve committed ourselves to all 10 of the environmental improvement points outlined in the Environmental Sustainability Charter (ESC) to gain eligibility to the scheme, which means Contractors can earn one Green Point if 60% or more of the steel used in a project is supplied by Rondo. COMMUNITY SUPPORT Rondo provides various support to local charities in the regions where we operate, and in a National capacity, Rondo is partnered with Kids UnderCover, a not-for profit Australian organisation which works tirelessly to prevent youth homelessness. Their model is simple: Building studio homes for homeless and at-risk young people, and supporting their education through scholarships and mentors, so that they are empowered to take responsibility for their own lives. Rondo supports Kids Under Cover through promotional initiatives, volunteering and charitable events, with the goal of raising enough money to provide them with one re-locatable studio each year which will help up to five families over the course of its life 3

5 SYSTEM SOLUTIONS SYSTEM SOLUTIONS Rondo has a system to solve even the most complex technical requirements. Rondo Steel Stud and Track is designed to not only be stronger, but safer, reducing handling errors on site. Unlike other profiles in the market, Rondo Steel Stud and Track have a hemmed return lip to increase rigidity, preventing unwanted rotation as well as eliminating sharp edges. The vertical rib in the stud face allows the wall linings to be placed centrally, ensuring easier and faster fixing, while the deeper knurling provides better screw location and retention. Rondo studs also lock perfectly into each other, creating the best boxed stud profile in the market. The Rondo MAXIframe External Wall Framing System offers a more efficient, versatile and cost effective design option than traditional external wall framing construction methods. Rondo supplied the MAXIframe System to the Sunshine Coast Hospital Project where it was determined that the initial design using standard 150mm back to back stud configuration located at 300mm centres was not going to be an economical solution or able to meet the window design requirements. Rondo was brought in to offer an alternative solution and they produced a special 150mm MAXIjamb Stud in 1.2BMT, G500 material which could achieve wall heights of 4.1m and meet wind load requirements. It could also be spaced at 675mm centres to suit the window modules. The Rondo DUPLEX Stud is a Jamb Stud that has been designed in response to the industry need for speeding up construction time and reducing labour costs. Single DUPLEX Studs can be used to frame door and glazing openings, where traditionally two regular steel studs have often been boxed together. Furthermore, architects, engineers and construction teams can capitalise on the strength offered by the DUPLEX Stud System, installing higher walls before noggings are required. Where standard Stud and Track Walls that are lined both sides require noggings past 4.4 metres, wall systems utilising DUPLEX Stud, can be constructed up to 6 metres before noggings are necessary. Fewer products to install means reduced costs onsite, reduced material usage and faster installation times. We are also able to provide seismic designs for walls and ceilings, which can be tailored to suit each project s seismic requirements. Rondo developed market-leading seismic designs through the use of Australian and New Zealand Standards, research into the latest seismic advances, and an all-inclusive testing program which included full scale testing in New Zealand on a shake table, with the help of seismic engineers. Rondo has provided seismic designs to major projects across Australia including Adelaide Medical Nursing School, New Royal Adelaide Hospital, SAHMRI, QEII New Children s Hospital in Perth, and Gosford Hospital in NSW. Rondo also offers a selection of Acoustic Mounts that complement the Rondo range of wall and ceiling systems and have been tested to comply with the Australian National Construction Code (NCC). Rondo is able to supply full test data for analysis by acoustic engineers and architects, for the tests which Rondo has commissioned. 5

6 DESIGN SUPPORT DESIGN SOLUTIONS Every Rondo customer has access to the very best technical advice from our engineers and technical services team, who offer a comprehensive design service. This free in-house design service can be utilised for all projects where our products are specified. Our team of Professional Engineers are experienced in cold formed steel design and this offer extends to all our systems and products for any application. Rondo designs to the current Australian Standards, including all loading codes (AS1100 series), design codes (AS/NZS4600) and more recently SA TS 101 for post-installed concrete fasteners. We are also constantly up-to-date with Australian Standards and regularly update technical resources in line with changes. As a company, we also have regular interactions with fastener suppliers to ensure our designs are current and up to date. Design capacities for Rondo standard details are always confirmed with anchor suppliers, before detailing and documenting is complete. Rondo also sits on a number of committees including the BD35 Standards Committee for the revision of AS/NZS2785 Suspended Ceiling code, the AWCI Executive Committee, which represents the Wall and Ceiling Industry within Australia and New Zealand and the AWCI Technical Committee, which provides support to the Wall and Ceiling Industry within Australia and New Zealand for all technical matters relating to the industry. 6

7 PROJECT EXPERIENCE SOUTH AUSTRALIAN HEALTH & MEDICAL INSTITUTE Rondo s Technical Team provided designs for the external service walk ways, the large curved internal staircase, as well as seismic ceiling designs. FIONA STANLEY HOSPITAL, WESTERN AUSTRALIA Produced large quantities of special length products in advance and stored them at the local Rondo warehouse to enable quick supply and installation. DARLING HARBOUR LIVE, NSW Ceiling heights in the exhibition halls were up to 20 metres high requiring complex design solutions and our innovative MAXIframe system. PACIFIC FAIR, GOLD COAST Rondo provided numerous designs for various curved ceiling and wall features and external wall & ceilings systems. CHAU CHUK UTS UNIVERSITY, SYDNEY Provided technical designs for varying wall heights, external wall framing, and requirements for fire, acoustic and pressure ratings. BENDIGO HOSPITAL, VIC Intricate external façade with various window sizing required unique designs from Rondo s Engineers. SUNSHINE COAST UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL Rondo Engineers needed to provide designs that met acoustic and pressurised wall framing, as well as load bearing stud ceilings, which resulted in Rondo producing a nonstandard 130mm Steel Stud. CROWN TOWERS, PERTH Special length 150mm MAXIjamb Studs were created to accommodate the feature linings and achieve the remarkable nine metre high walls. UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL, GOLD COAST Heavily involved in the designs for partition details to accommodate all loadings from grab rails, shelf loads, isolation rooms and lead lined walls. 7
