Building Basics: Building Code compliance

From $45.00

Product Description

Making sure that buildings comply with the New Zealand Building Code is a key part of design and construction, yet the process of demonstrating this can be an area of frustration. Building consent applications that don't have enough information that is relevant to the proposed work can cause delays and additional cost to a project.

This book has a focus on residential buildings and covers the steps a designer needs to follow to gather the documentation required and the different options to prove compliance with the performance requirements of the Code. 

Note that a number of the documents that can be used to demonstrate compliance, such as acceptable solutions, have been updated since this book was published.

As regulations and industry standards evolve, we always recommend that our publications be read in conjunction with the latest building code clauses and standards.
