Building Code Consultants Ltd was formed in 1998 by Dr Kelvin Walls after considerable experience in the engineering and building industry. Our company offers services in a range of areas, including the Building Act and Code, Construction Contracts Act, Alternative Solutions, unauthorised building work, due diligence, failure investigation, maintenance of buildings, construction management, dispute resolution, expert evidence, litigation & technical opinions. We also cover the more traditional areas of drainage, feasibility concepts, civil & structural engineering.
We have a particular interest in the chronic health effects of the built environment. It is an area not well recognised by the building/engineering industry, and has also received little attention to date by public health practitioners. It is therefore an area with considerable scope for attention by a multi-disciplinary range of people, including engineers, technologists and epidemiologists, particularly so considering the adaptations likely to be made due to climate change.
