Beat Compliance and Bring the Creativity

Compliance on a building site can often stifle creativity

Often new or innovative materials require code compliance - and demonstrating this to your local council can be difficult.

This is because innovative new products are often considered ‘alternative solutions’ under the building code and therefore require a professional appraisal or certification, which can be a lengthy and expensive process.

This was Abodo’s challenge when launching an innovative exterior cladding range.

Exterior cladding is considered a high risk building material application and requires specialist technical knowledge. Abodo’s high performance timber cladding systems have the unique characteristic of being free of chemical preservatives – making compliance an even harder case to argue.

For this reason Abodo took the initiative of seeking CodeMark certification – an unchallengeable assurance of compliance – and an excellent tool for designers and builders to demonstrate code compliance.

Abodo’s Vulcan and Tundra Cladding systems are all CodeMark certified.
