Check it before you lay it

Check the falls and outlets on a deck, work out the membrane packs and wet-film target from the system’s datasheet, and draw the bathroom to get the exact membrane extent.

Deck drainage check: spot levels → falls against your system’s minimum, each spot’s fall to its outlet, outlets and overflows against the rainfall, threshold upstands, and the E2/AS1 40 m² scope
Membrane quantity: areas × the system’s dry-film thickness ÷ volume solids → litres and whole packs, plus the wet-film target per coat for the ITP — from the TDS you enter, never ‘10 m² a kit’
Wet-area extent: type or draw the room and place the shower → floor, shower walls, corners, junctions and the door waterstop, filled into the takeoff
Each check is saved to the job as a printable calculation sheet

Toolie deck drainage check of a 24 square metre deck with 1 outlet, 1 overflow and 5 spot levels: A and B at 10.130, C and D at 10.070 and outlet O1, all areas shaded green for falls OK — **Falls you can see.** A 24 m² deck, 5 spot levels from 10.130 down to the outlet, every area green (falls OK against the minimum you enter), 1 outlet and 1 overflow.

Toolie membrane quantity result: 4 packs, 49.5 litres including laps, 24 square metres, DFT divided by solids, floor wet-film target 938 microns per coat for 2 coats giving 1500 microns dry — **Packs and the ITP target.** 24 m² → 49.5 L with laps, 4 packs; 938 µm wet per coat × 2 coats → 1500 µm dry. (Demo system figures — you enter your system’s TDS.)

Toolie wet-area extent for a 2.6 by 2.1 metre bathroom with a corner shower: floor 5.46 square metres, shower walls 4.14 square metres, vertical corners 2.3 lm, floor junction 8.64 lm, door waterstop 0.76 lm — **The membrane, measured.** Floor 5.46 m², shower walls 4.14 m², 2.3 lm of vertical corners, 8.64 lm of floor junction and 0.76 lm of door waterstop.

Quote membrane and wet-area waterproofing with NZ rates

Waterproofing pricing depends on system type (liquid-applied membrane, sheet membrane, bentonite), substrate, area, number of coats, drain and upstand detailing, and overlap requirements. Toolie’s NZ waterproofer pricebook covers liquid-applied polyurethane and torch-on membrane per m², wet-area tanking per m², DPM under-slab and tile-over membrane (Laticrete, Ardex). Override any rate with your supplier pricing.

E2 external moisture — the standard that governs cladding waterproofing

NZ Building Code clause E2 External Moisture requires that buildings resist the penetration of water sufficiently to protect them from damage. E2/AS1 is the Acceptable Solution. For waterproofing as part of a cladding system (parapet caps, deck topping slabs, cavity drainage), compliance with E2 and the relevant producer statement (PS1 or PS3) is required. Toolie’s consent tracker links external waterproofing jobs to E2 and flags the need for a PS3 engineer sign-off when the scope involves a performance solution.

E3 internal moisture and AS 3740 wet-area waterproofing

Clause E3 Internal Moisture governs internal wet areas. AS 3740 Waterproofing of Domestic Wet Areas is not mandatory in NZ and is not referenced by E3/AS1, but BRANZ recommends following it as good practice for membranes in showers, around baths and in floor waste areas. Toolie’s compliance checklist maps E3 and AS 3740 good-practice items — membrane height on shower walls, full floor coverage, upstand heights — to the job scope so nothing is missed before tiling.

LBP for covered cladding work

Where waterproofing is carried out as part of a cladding remediation or Restricted Building Work (RBW) scope, a Licensed Building Practitioner (LBP) is required to carry out or supervise the work. Toolie’s job setup distinguishes RBW from non-RBW scope, carries your LBP number on the Record of Work, and generates the Memorandum of Work for the BCA.

Common questions

Does Toolie include NZ waterproofing pricing?

Yes. Toolie ships a NZ waterproofer pricebook covering liquid-applied polyurethane membrane, torch-on membrane, wet-area tanking and tile-over membrane systems per m². Override with your supplier rates.

How does Toolie link waterproofing to NZ Building Code clause E2?

The consent tracker links external waterproofing jobs to E2 External Moisture requirements and flags the need for a PS3 engineer sign-off when the scope involves a performance solution or non-Acceptable Solution cladding system.

Does Toolie include AS 3740 wet-area compliance checklists?

Yes. The compliance checklist maps E3 and AS 3740 good-practice items — membrane heights, floor coverage, upstands — to the job scope so requirements are confirmed before tiling.

Is there an NZ-built alternative to Tradify for waterproofers?

Yes. Toolie is New Zealand-built, flat-priced for your whole crew, includes NZ waterproofing pricing, and lets you quote a job before you sign up.

How much does waterproofer software cost in NZ?
