Abstract: A bracket assembly (2) for bracing a building component (3, 71) to a building structure (42), the assembly comprising a first connecting portion (4) having at least two protruding portions (6, 8) joined by a joining portion (10), each protruding portion (6, 8) connectable to a respective bracing element (44, 46) and a second connecting portion (12) having at least one depending portion (16, 18) and linked to said first connecting portion (4), said at least one depending portion (16, 18) for connection to said building component (3, 71).

Abstract: A mounting for acoustically insulating a first building component from a second building component, said mounting having a first insulating portion extending around a fastener, a second insulating portion extending around said fastener, a neck insulating portion extending between said first insulating portion and said second insulating portion, such that a shaft of the fastener is covered by one or more of the insulating portions between the first building component and the second building component.

Abstract: A clip (2) for fitting between a first component (6) and a second component (4) in a building structure, the clip including a first member (8), a second member (10) and a connecting portion (12) connecting the first member (8) to the second member (10); the first member (8), the second member (10) and the connecting portion (12) forming a space (38) in which a portion of a leg (18) of the second component (4) is adapted to reside; the first member (8) and the second member (10) adapted for engagement with the portion of the leg (18) of the second component (4).

Abstract: A building component (1) for attachment to an uneven surface (32) such that a gap (34) exists at one or more locations between the building component (1) and the uneven surface (32), the building component (1) including mounting means (10) located at one or more positions along the building component (1), the mounting means (10) having a portion (20) adapted to be located outside the plane of the building component (1) and between the building component (1) and the uneven surface (32), wherein fastening means attaches the mounting means (10) to the uneven surface (32) to enable the building component (1) to remain substantially straight when attached to the uneven surface (32).
