These lovely homeowners wanted to be able to close off the lounge from the rest of the house. They weren’t to happy with the doors from the entrance so asked if we could move them. Well let’s just say the opening we moved the doors into was almost made for it!

As the year draws to a close and the warmer days arrive, you might find yourself eyeing your outdoor area, thinking, "A nice big deck would be perfect here. Ill get a couple of quotes.."

Did you know that building a deck to the correct standards is crucial for legal compliance, safety, and durability?

All building work in New Zealand must adhere to the New Zealand Building Code, even if it does not require a building consent. This ensures structural integrity and prevents falls. For instance, when building a deck, 100 x 100 or 100 x 75 piles are not compliant with this building code. The correct size is 125 x 125. Additionally, any structure less than 300mm above the ground must be fixed with stainless steel fixings to ensure durability and safety.

If you are considering adding a spa pool to your deck, it’s important to be aware of specific regulations. Spa pools must have a compliant, lockable safety cover that is locked at all times when not in use. The spa pool should also meet these criteria:
- The water surface area must be 5 square meters or less.
- The top of the spa pool must be at least 760mm above the ground.
- There should be no obstacles to climb on within 1200mm of the spa.
- The cover must have warning signs fixed to two opposite sides.

Building a deck and including a spa pool to these standards guarantees compliance with legal requirements and enhances the structure's safety, usability, and durability. This commitment to quality protects both builders and users.

By adhering to these standards, we uphold our responsibility to create safe and durable structures, ensuring the well-being of all users.
