Reminders:-
IQP’s MUST work within their competency and registration.
12a’s are not issued in the interest of the building owner, they should be issued if appropriate. I.e. The required Inspection, Maintenance and Reporting regime is complete.
A report in lieu is NOT a right or get out of jail card. It has no legal standing and some Councils will file them as a record that the specified system is, on the day of inspection working as required, however during the year, missed inspections or a defect that has been repaired.
A report in lieu should never be issued if the specified system remains defective – Please discuss with the Territorial Authority when a clean 12a cannot be issued.
Specified System Matrix – Southland District Council There are some un-fortunate cases of specified systems not performing as intended after issue of the Code Compliance Certificate. Where this relates to fire safety systems this can have a drastic effect on the building and all involved. In preventing this happing, clear documentation of the compliance path from design to commissioning is critical. Specified systems compliance path assistance can be found in Southland District Council website under “specified system matrix” - www.southlanddc.govt.nz - or at this link http://yvesbroers.com/sdc/index.html None of us involved in Building Industry wish to be in the position of being involved in considering a Building “Dangerous” in event of a fire due to failure of a specified system. Clear documentation of the compliance path of specified systems takes the guess work out of decision of compliance.

VISA MASTERCARD
RAEWYN KINNIS started her career in Building Compliance in 1984 when she accepted a position in the Building Unit at Timaru District Council. When the Building Act 1991 came into effect, Raewyn became involved with the Building Warrant of Fitness and Compliance Schedule Regimes.From 1998 to 2000 Raewyn was Secretary of the South Island IQP panel and after this time moved to Christchurch City Council where she specialised in the technical aspects of the BWOF and Compliance Schedules. This included accepting BWOFs, audits, generating and amending Compliance Schedules plus a MBIE audit. Raewyn also became the first female Chair of the South Island IQP Registration Panel for 12 months.One of the biggest challenges Raewyn faced in her role with Christchurch Council, came after the earthquakes which resulted in many buildings being un-occupiable or stuck in the commercial Red Zone and so could not be accessed. As a result Raewyn had to think outside the square to keep owners within the boundaries of the Building Act.Raewyn in 2018-19 spent 18 months with FFP Canterbury and saw the challenges from the other side of the fence and followed this with a 9 month contract with Mackenzie District Council.Raewyn is extremely passionate about the BWOF regime and is forever encouraging owners, Council and IQPs to work together to achieve the common aim of safety for users of buildings.
