TwentyTwo

The 2022 release of the updated National Seismic Hazard Model has set in motion a wave of potential changes for New Zealand’s building standards. With a revised NZ Standard for seismic loading (Technical Specification 1170.5) on the horizon, building owners and tenants alike will soon face new challenges.

⭐ What does this mean for you? ⭐ Expect more stringent requirements for earthquake resilience, particularly for existing buildings. This shift may lead to disputes around building ratings and rising costs for landlords who have already made upgrades.

At TwentyTwo, we understand the growing complexities of seismic standards and the balance between risk management and long-term investment. Staying informed and proactive is key to navigating this evolving landscape.
