Sets a minimum standard for the design and construction of reinforced concrete masonry buildings. When applied by architects, designers, builders, engineers, apprentices, building consent authorities, and building industry regulators, NZS 4229 provides these users with a cost effective means of compliance and practical guidance for designing and building to meet New Zealand Building Code requirements, without the need for specific engineering design. It provides prescribed methods for the design and construction of reinforced concrete masonry buildings up to 10 metres in height, including domestic dwellings and most other residential buildings, and some commercial buildings. The use of NZS 4229 during design and building provides consumers with assurance that their home has been built to meet the legislative requirements of the New Zealand Building Code.
