AS4055 resource

AS4055 vs AS/NZS 1170.2

AS4055 and AS/NZS 1170.2 are used in different contexts. The right pathway depends on the building, project scope and documentation requirements.

Where AS4055 fits

AS4055 is commonly used for suitable housing and related Class 10a projects where the project sits within the relevant use and geometry limits.

When a separate review may be needed

Some projects need a different wind loading assessment or broader structural engineering scope. If the requested work is not a QuickWind classification certificate, send project details for review.

Practical next step

If you have been asked for an AS4055 site wind classification certificate, QuickWind may be the right starting point.
