Description
This determination arose from the decision of the authority to refuse to issue a code compliance certificate for a 10-year-old house because it was not satisfied that it complied with certain clauses of the Building Code.
The authority's primary concerns about the compliance of the house related to the weathertightness and durability of the external envelope.
The matter determined was whether the authority was correct to refuse to issue a code compliance certificate.
It was considered:
- Whether the external claddings to the house complieed with Clause B2 Durability and Clause E2 External Moisture;
- Whether the elements that make up the building work complied with Clause B2 Durability, taking into account the age of the house.
