Teulo Ed | Designing for Performance: Integrating Building Envelopes, Materials, and Systems

10.15am - 11.15am | Boundaryline | Rachel Koks

Synopsis: This CPD webinar, “Navigating Standards, Compliance, and Specification,” equips architects, designers, and specifiers with a clear understanding of the key New Zealand Standards and council requirements that influence fencing specification and installation. It explores NZBC Clause F4 (Safety from Falling), acoustic and boundary compliance, and the selection of compliant systems for pool fencing, retaining walls, and boundary treatments. Participants will learn how to avoid common specification pitfalls, ensure buildability across residential, medium-density, and commercial projects, and confidently align design intent with regulatory frameworks to achieve safe, durable, and compliant outcomes. 

Key Learning Outcomes: 

• Understanding the Role of Fencing in the Built Environment
• Navigating Standards, Compliance, and Specification
• Designing for Longevity, Sustainability, and Whole-of-Life Value

Key Focus Areas:

• Fencing as an extension of architectural intent and streetscape design.
• How fencing enhances safety, territorial reinforcement, and CPTED principles.
• Integration of fencing within landscape and site planning for cohesive outcomes.
• NZBC Clause F4 (safety from falling), and acoustic and boundary compliance.
• Selecting compliant systems for pool fencing, retaining walls, and boundary treatments.
• Common specification pitfalls and how to ensure buildability across typologies (residential, medium density, and commercial).
• Participants will be able to assess fencing materials and systems through a sustainability and lifecycle lens.
