New Zealand Building Code

Hello!

My name is Ben and I work as an architectural designer in Auckland New Zealand.

I am wanting to ask on this forum if anyone has used this calculation tool as supporting evidence for wind calculations for small structures in New Zealand?

My objective is to obtain a building consent in a Very High Wind Zone for a small structure built to NZS 3604, or NASH Standard Part 2:2019 Light Steel Framed Buildings; without having to go through a structural engineer for a wind calculation at this current stage in the project.

I am wanting to use this calculation as part of my application for a Resource Consent from the City Council, and I was wondering if anyone else in this forum has had the reports produced from this software accepted by council, either in New Zealand or their respective countries?

Kind regards,

Ben
