Multi-Storey Timber Construction - A Feasibility Study
Warwick Banks B.E., Civil, NZCE., Civil, Associate Director, Holmes Consulting Group, Auckland - NZ
 

Multi-storey Timber construction took a quantum leap forward in New Zealand post 1992. This is when the New Zealand Building Code was introduced with the removal of the restriction on the number of storeys which could be built in timber. Since then, buildings have been built up to 5 storeys in height, within New Zealand, but construction of buildings beyond this size has not been forthcoming.
