Hypothetical Scenario
Meet Francesca, a homeowner building her dream home. During the construction process, her builder mentions “membrane installation” and “fall to drain” requirements for the bathroom. Francesca is unsure what this means and worries about compliance and quality.
She turns to The Wiz for help. After typing in “membrane installation,” Francesca gets an easy-to-follow explanation about liquid and sheet membranes, their benefits, and how they’re applied. Next, she looks up “fall to drain” and learns how proper slopes in wet areas prevent water pooling and ensure compliance with AS 3740.
Over the course of her build, Francesca continues using The Wiz to understand terms in her builder’s quotes and inspections, gaining confidence to ask the right questions and verify the work. By the time the project is complete, Francesca knows her wet areas are compliant, durable, and built to last—in part to The Wiz's guidance.
