What You Need to Know
When it comes to foundation design, choosing the right certification can be crucial. CodeMark and Specific Engineering Design (SED) are two distinct approaches that ensure your project meets compliance and quality standards.
CodeMark Certification:
CodeMark is a product certification scheme that guarantees compliance with the New Zealand Building Code. It provides peace of mind that your foundation solution meets industry standards, offering a fast track through council approval.
SED Foundation Design:
SED, on the other hand, involves customised, site-specific engineering calculations to ensure structural integrity. It’s essential when a standard solution doesn’t meet the unique demands of your project.
