Hunn Report 

In February 2002, the former Building Industry Authority (BIA) appointed a Weathertightness Overview Group to enquire into the weathertightness of buildings in New Zealand. The subsequent report, commonly referred to as the ‘Hunn Report’, identified a number of factors that contributed to the 'leaky buildings' problem, and contains 25 recommendations for addressing the systemic failures within the building industry.
