School-led projects
Project managers or designers must submit project documentation to our building envelope assessment team for review.

There is no charge for this review service.
The building envelope assessment team assesses plans and drawings against our weathertightness design requirements and the building code.
Building envelope assessment submission
Your submission must include:
- general details including:
- school name
- school address
- school ID
- project name and detailed description of works
- Ministry project ID number
- design company name
- name of the school’s property advisor.
- specification, construction detailing and referencing of manufacturer’s technical literature to allow construction to code
- general arrangement drawings including site and building location, floor plans, elevations and roof plan with the scope of works identified
- cross sections through the building envelope
- large scale details for all flashings, junctions, changes of plane and assembly details at 1:10, 1:5, or 1:2 scale as appropriate, and clearly cross referenced to the general arrangement drawings
- 3D views of complex flashing junctions
- flashing details of any services penetrations through the external envelope
- project-specific specification, including proprietary products
- E2/AS1 risk matrix for all relevant roof elevations.
Assessment and feedback
The building envelope assessment team will assess the plans and report back to the project manager or designer.
Any areas of concern will be listed and highlighted on the drawings.
We expect that you will consider feedback and make any required modifications to the designs. There will not be a resubmission process.
If any major concerns are identified, the appropriate infrastructure manager will be notified. The designer and project manager must work on solutions for the concerns raised. This work will be overseen by the school's property advisor and infrastructure manager.
