Hort Innovation has recently engaged Osborn Consulting Engineers to ‘develop technical guidelines based on the findings of VG13055 – Building Codes and Greenhouse Construction for inclusion in the National Construction Code’.
Essentially, Osborn has been engaged to take a proposal to the National Construction Code (NCC) for the creation and implementation of a nationally recognised greenhouse standard within the framework of the building code.
Importantly, the project also provides growers and industry with an educational toolbox in relation to many of the common issues, concerns and requirements associated with greenhouse and crop protection structures.
