*B1 for Foundations changed in November 2021
The 2021 MBIE changes to B1 were bought in because of the risk of liquefaction and as RDC have no mapped areas in our district for liquefaction we have now changed our requirements around ground bearing and confirming good ground.
This will need to be done by the following methods:
- Importance Level 1 buildings, e.g.; outbuildings, will need testing as per NZ3604 3.3. This will be required at time of Foundation/Slab inspection.
- All Commercial and Importance Level 2 and up buildings will require a full Geotech report
to show ground bearing requirements in accordance with NZS 4404 as per the
requirements of NZS 3604 3.1.3(G). The Geotech report will need to be submitted for
processing with the Building Consent Application. Any consent applied for without the
report will be put on hold till it is submitted.
