National Science Challenges focus
Plus: Tips for your grand design
Recent Building Levy-funded BRANZ research surveyed the industry on the quality of New Zealand housing. It’s part of a push to design and build beyond Code and to lift the standard of residential buildings.
While quality can be hard to describe and quantify, there are certain established standards and guidelines that, if followed, should result in a quality building.
While quality might be in the eye of the beholder, there are several practical steps that designers, builders and clients can take to ensure that a building stacks up quality-wise.
Build talks to Chris Moller, host of Grand Designs New Zealand, to find out how the weird and the simply wonderful transforms into truly great design.
