We are delighted to report that NZGS committee member Sally Hargraves has been appointed to the foundations working group of the committee that will revise NZS 3604:2011 Timber-framed buildings.

Committee participation provides the opportunity to develop nationally accepted standards through a process of draft preparation, public consultation, and committee consensus. As a committee member, Sally will work as part of the committee to ensure that the views of the NZGS are effectively represented throughout the development of the Standard. If you have any questions about this, please follow the project updates in the Activities > Other Projects section of this website (you will need to be logged in to access this).
