Forecast Financial Impact of Building Code Changes on Timber Industry

Belinda Robinson made this Official Information request to Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment

Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment did not have the information requested.

From: Belinda Robinson

Dear Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment,

In April 2012 the Department of Building and Housing introduced quantitative pass/fail criteria into the performance clauses of the Building Code for fire safety.

With regard to Building Code Clause C3.4 (internal surface linings), please provide the study, research report, or similar that considered the potential financial impact and job losses to the timber industry for the proposed quantitative pass/fail criteria that are now in effect.

Yours faithfully,

Belinda Robinson
