Brick Veneer Heights

Brick Veneer Heights

E2/AS1 sets the limitations for Brick Veneer heights in Section 9.2.3 and Figure 73B . You can read this document here: E2/AS1 (part4)

It advises that brick veneers with timber framing shall have:

• A maximum height of veneer above finished ground level of 7m;
• A maximum height of 4m from the foundation;
• A maximum height of 5.5m to the apex of a gabled area.

If the veneer is supported by a masonry structure, NZZS4229:2001 permits a veneer height of 6.0 for the wall and up to 10m in a gable area.
