Description
Recent changes to Building Code clause B2 Durability and the issuing of a technical advisory note and model specifications have helped clarify the requirements for structural steel and commonly used coatings.
Over the past three years, several developments have addressed (in part) the concerns raised with items that were lacking in New Zealand Building Code clause B2 Durability. These items were discussed in detail in Build 162, Concerns with B2 durability, and the developments are summarised here.
