REBRI Resource Recovery Plasterboard: Collection and Transportation (PDF)
Product Description
This guide provides good practice advice to improve recovery rates for waste plasterboard from construction and demolition (C&D) sites.
The aim is to assist collection and transportation services to C&D sites to:
- maximise the amount of plasterboard diverted from the landfill and cleanfill
- minimise contamination and damage
- meet the requirements of the construction or demolition client and the recycling operator.
This guideline covers:
- finding good markets for recycled plasterboard
- collection and transportation services
- health and safety hurdles
- resources and contacts
- other guidelines in this series.

Good Practice Guide: Membrane roofing (2nd edition)
Membrane roofing systems come in a wide variety of types, each with their own substrate and installation requirements. Achieving a durable membrane roofing system depends on using the correct approach to the design of the substrate supporting the membrane and the membrane roofing itself. Using the correct membrane roofing system for the substrate, the slope, the use the roof will be put to and the aesthetic requirements of the building owner are also key requirements.
Written specifically for the New Zealand building industry, this guide covers the issues that need to be considered when selecting, designing, detailing and installing membrane roofing systems. Following the procedures outlined should significantly reduce the risk of problems occurring with membrane roofing.
This is an essential reference tool for all those involved in the selection, design or installation of a membrane roofing system.
Level: Passive design (2nd edition)
A critical aspect of a house's energy use and sustainability is the overall design of a building - its orientation on site, careful sizing and location of windows, specification of above-minimum insulation and making the best use of sun and wind for heating, cooling and ventilation.
This guide explains the technical background to good passive design, the choices and compromises that need to be made and Building Code and standards requirements that must be met.
The thermal performance requirements of building elements given in this book are from the 4th edition Building Code acceptable solution H1/AS1 and verification method H1/VM1. Note that 5th editions of H1/AS1 and H1/VM1 replaced the 4th edition from 3 November 2022.
Selecting timber (3rd edition)
This is a guide for specifying and choosing timber for use in New Zealand buildings, which will be useful to all architects and designers, specifiers and builders working with timber.
As well as covering such key issues as timber treatment and moisture levels, the book features an extensive species data index, with separate sheets for each of 89 species of timber available on the New Zealand market. The data sheets cover key characteristics of each species such as timber strength, hardness and durability, borer susceptibility and typical uses.
Selecting timber briefly covers engineered wood products, plywoods and veneers, looking at their general characteristics, but does not cover specific performance or selection data for these.
Module: Introducing bracing
Forces from wind and earthquakes place demands on a building. These demands are calculated for a particular building so that the building can be designed with enough bracing capacity to resist the demand and perform structurally.
Topics covered in this self-paced module:
- Wind bracing
- Earthquake bracing
- Library
Gain 100% in the test at the end of the module, and you'll receive a record of your completion that can be submitted as part of your CPD activity log.
Good Repair Guide: Horizontal timber weatherboards
Over time, water entry through poorly installed or maintained weatherboard cladding may cause significant structural damage and other problems long before any symptoms become apparent on the exterior or interior of a building. Regular checks and proper maintenance are critical to ensuring weathertightness.
If a leak or any associated damage becomes obvious, it is advisable to consult a registered building surveyor in order to determine the extent of the problem and necessary repair options.
This Good Repair Guide highlights common problems and causes, types and extent of damage, rules and regulations, health and safety, tools, repairing and replacing weatherboards as well as related documents and standards.
Level: Heating, cooling and ventilation (2nd edition)
This publication helps designers, specifiers and builders ensure that new and existing houses are warm and effectively ventilated, providing owner comfort, convenience, health and safety while minimising running costs. It acknowledges the importance of good passive design - taking advantage of free sources of energy such as sun and wind to provide heating, cooling and ventilation.
This publication covers:
- heating and cooling design considerations and methods
- thermal design
- ventilation design considerations and methods.
