Standards New Zealand has published NZS 3604:2011 Timber-framed buildings. NZS 3604 provides guidance to builders, architects, engineers, designers, and students for the design and construction of timber-framed structures not requiring specific engineering design. The Standard is a core resource for building consent authorities determining compliance with the New Zealand Building Code.
A limited technical review of NZS 3604 commenced in 2009. The project was sponsored by Standards New Zealand, Earthquake Commission, and the Department of Building and Housing with support and input from a leadership group and technical committee including a range of stakeholders from various industry sectors.
