Accessibility Report
New construction, alterations and change of use to a building under the New Zealand Building Act (NZBA) requires that the Building Consent Authority (BCA) is satisfied that the building will comply as near as reasonably practicable (ANARP) with the provision of the building code that relates to the following:
Fire Report - New Building
All new building construction is required to meet compliance with the following:
Safeguard people from an unacceptable risk of injury or illness caused by fire; Protect other property from damage caused by fire, and; Facilitate firefighting and rescue operations.
Passive Fire Protection
Building elements that can resist fire in order to separate spaces from the enclosure of fire origin do their job merely by being there (i.e. passively) and are, therefore, known as Passive Fire Protection. Passive Fire Protection includes the protection of structural elements to reduce the rate of heat transfer to the structural element.
