Simple house - REVOKED

The Simple House Acceptable Solution is for single storey framed construction using limited roof spans and claddings.

SH/AS1 has been revoked and is no longer a deemed-to-comply solution.

Content from SH/AS1 could be used as part of an Alternative Solution.

MBIE consulted on revoking SH/AS1 in early 2019 due to its low uptake. Submitters noted that some unique content within the solution was applicable to other residential buildings so after a thorough review of this content, we transferred relevant material to B1/AS1.
