KingFlor® Designer Suite

The KingFlor® Designer Suite software produces designs in accordance with the following versions of Australian Standards, as applicable at the time of the software’s development in 2017:

• AS 3600:2009 - Concrete Structures
• AS/NZS 2327:2017 - Composite Structures – Composite steel-concrete construction in buildings

Designs produced using the KingFlor® Designer Suite software do not comply with subsequent revisions to these Australian Standards (including AS/NZS 2327:2017 Amd 1: 2020 and AS 3600:2018 Amd 1 & 2: 2021) or any Australian Standards released after 2017.

To support engineers with checking their design’s compliance with current Australian Standards, Fielders has prepared the KingFlor® Formwork and Composite Slab Design Guide – Using RAPT Software, which outlines a practical workflow using relevant Fielders technical literature, together with a third-party analysis and design software known as “RAPT”. The guide is accessible here: [Fielders KingFlor formwork and Composite Slab Design Guide using RAPT Software].

To avoid doubt, KingFlor® flooring and decking products are manufactured and tested to comply with applicable laws, regulations and Australian Standards, as detailed in Fielders’ KingFlor® National Construction Code Compliance Bulletin (Jan 2024), accessible here: [Fielders NCC Compliance Bulletin Kingflor ].
