Description
This determination considers whether a two-level Unit, in an existing commercial building, would comply with the Building Code without a Type 4 alarm system.
The existing alarm system was installed as part of a building consent application, after an intermediate floor in the unit was enlarged in area. The determination considers whether the evacuation time allows occupants to move to a place of safety in the event of fire.
Decision
In accordance with section 188 of the Building Act 2004, the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment determines Unit 3/20C Gills Road would comply with clause C4.3 without a Type 4 alarm system.
