Product Description
Official data on the characteristics of non-residential buildings is limited. Building consents data held by Statistics New Zealand gives numbers by building type, value and floor area, aggregated into territorial authorities. However, there is no data on materials used.
BRANZ began surveying builders and designers in 1998 to obtain data on materials used. We have since compiled a database of approximately 400 non-residential buildings per year containing information on the materials used by building component.
This report contains the results of these surveys on the materials used in new nonresidential buildings. The aim is to provide information useful to building material manufacturers, retailers/wholesalers, builders, designers, researchers and government officials.
