Statement by Coastal Cabins Licensed Building Practitioner / Factory Floor Manager

[LBP number supplied]

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.
