Description

This second determination arises because the authority is not satisfied that the remedial work proposed for some of the window heads complies with certain clauses of the Building Code based on the documentation provided. The matter to be determined is therefore whether, based on the documentation provided to the authority, there is sufficient information to establish on reasonable grounds that the proposed alteration to the exposed window heads (the proposal) will comply with Clause E2 External Moisture and Clause B2 Durability. The first determination issued on 25 January 2012 described certain building matters regarding the cladding system to this house. As a result of the first determination, the authority issued a notice to fix dated 2 February 2012, which listed those matters requiring remediation. It appears that other items in the notice are in the process of being resolved and the applicant has limited the application for this determination to his proposal, which was submitted to the authority in response to Item 1 of the notice to fix. This determination is therefore limited to Item 1 of the Notice to Fix No. NF0057.
