prelims research

through reasearch of the building act and all regulations behind it i have learnt that they are in place to make sure all houses and other buildings are safe to live in as well as to stop the cutting of corners when construction of the house begins these rules are also enforced by the council when they send in inspectors at specpic times of construction to make sure the job is done correctly otherwise they are to tel the builder what they need to do in time for the next inspection. i have learnt through further research of this subject that it is important to follow all that is said in NZS 3604 and other standards because its better to spend a few hours making sure your up to code than spending money and more time waiting for an extra inspections. as long as builders work to their full potentional and not cut corners the council does not have to be the bad guy
