Site safety
On the construction site, the safety of people, including Council officers, is your responsibility. This includes providing safe access to all parts of the site to allow work to be inspected.
Ladder access must be securely founded and tied. Scaffold access is likely to be required for larger buildings.
It is desirable for you or your representative to be on site during the inspection.
Cladding
Before the coating is applied to any plaster-coated cladding systems, you must arrange an inspection with a Building Officer.
It's extremely important to install cladding systems in strict compliance with the technical specifications for the product that have been approved as part of the building consent documentation.
Before Council will be able to issue a Code Compliance Certificate the following information is required:
- confirmation that the cladding installed is the same as detailed in the building consent
- confirmation that the coating has been applied by an applicator approved by the manufacturer of the cladding system
- a copy of the applicator's warranty or construction statement.
