Building

Hanganga

The Building Act 2004 provides for the regulation of building work, the establishment of a licensing regime for building practitioners, and the setting of performance standards, to ensure that:

• people who use buildings can do so safely and without endangering their health
• buildings have attributes which contribute appropriately to the health, physical independence, and well-being of the people who use them
• people who use a building can escape from the building if it is on fire and
• buildings are designed, constructed, and able to be used in ways which promote sustainable development.
