worse still was them allowing untreated non structural framing in non load bearing walls. It is no wonder rules like this caused the NZBIA (New Zealand Building Industry Authority) a Government owned entity to go bankrupt and overnight emerge as a new agency with the same staff to avoid getting sued by all and sundry. This also lead to the end of Private Certifiers as they could not get insurance to cover any 'mistakes' although there are still one or two companies contracted to individual local councils with the council covering the insurance.

Have a look at this web site.
This graphic shows the pattern of the earthquake and aftershocks in Christchurch since Saturday morning:
http://www.christchurchquakemap.co.nz The damage estimate has been doubled to NZ$4 billion today. The aftershocks are causing further damage with cracks opening wider. They have already started demolition of some of the 500 damaged buildings in the central city. Some will be saved and strengthened, but many will not. Half the Building section from my work headed south today to help out with the assessments in Christchurch - they had to do the same job in Gisborne 2 1/2 years ago. Rob
