Summary
This manual (in eight parts), provides a specific means of compliance with the provisions of the building code for building new or altering existing backcountry huts on land managed by the Department of Conservation (DOC). Backcountry huts are defined in a 2008 amendment to the building code.
The manual ensures building code compliance is achieved and will be referenced by DOC staff, its consultants and territorial and consent authorities. It may also be of interest to the users of backcountry huts managed by DOC.
