The frame is where a Point Cook build is checked against its own engineering drawings rather than against a general impression.
Every serious structural finding we have recorded in Point Cook sits at frame, and each is a drawing comparison: M10 and M12 tie-down bolts shown and not fitted, beam connections not matching the detail, bracing left out entirely.

Because Point Cook's serious findings are all drawing comparisons, and after sarking and plaster nobody can compare anything to a drawing again.
The engineering nominates tie-down bolts at specific points. If nobody checks those points against the drawing, an omission passes unnoticed and gets covered.
The connection built is not the connection detailed. It may carry less load than the design assumed, which is why it is reported as structural rather than cosmetic.
Support, fixings and bracing are what we assess. Design certification for the trusses comes from the fabricator.
