To Whom It May Concern
As a Licensed Building Practitioner / Factory Floor Manager, I both supervised and worked on the five Cabins (mobile homes or “units”) for the LOP financier including unit E80D-039. As mobile homes on wheels and designed to be moveable on NZ roads, these units are excluded from the NZ Building Code 2004 Section 8(1)(b)(iii).
Never-the-less the materials used to manufacture the units are compliant with NZBC with appropriate certificates, including BRANZ, CodeMark, etc., and the building methods and standards applies were of a high standard and done under enclosed, controlled factory conditions protected from weather.
Furthermore, each unit then underwent a real-world test of being delivered over 100 km of NZ roads at speeds of 90 kph, fully-built and ready to inhabit – a durability test far greater than any expected of buildings constructed in-situ. For clarity, the financier did not contract with Coastal Cabins to secure building consents (CCC/COA) for these units, and the cost of compliance varies extremely depending both on the respective BCA and on the inspector of the day who may demand consultant reports/documents before issuing a BCA certificate.
- The framing is LGS galvanised steel by NASH standard compliant FRAMECAD.
- E2 External moisture /Building performance) was carried out as any consented project I have done previously over a considerable many years so I have full confidence in the performance
- B2 Cladding and roof manufactured to achieve the desired durability and protection as would be expected from any consented structure.
- The unit was fully insulated using R3.3 roof, R2.4 and R1.8 insulation, as per the CodeMark and BRANZ appraisals below.
- The plumbing and electrical work was undertaken by qualified personnel to a high standard as would be expected.
In summary, at the time these units left the factory I can say they were built to a high standard by qualified tradesmen and fully expect them to perform as required for many years to come.
