Feature Briefs

Scroll down to find the briefs for our upcoming featured issues of EBOSSNOW:

July 2025 Feature: Alterations & Additions

This month we want to hear about systems that bring benefits to alteration and addition projects.

Your article could focus on:

• A new innovative retrofit solution that can help simplify or improve A&A projects
• A recent renovation project that demonstrates the benefits of your system for alteration projects
• An existing system or product — educate architects and builders on how this product can help simplify the design and build process on an A&A project

This feature is open to products for residential and commercial builds. We recommend clearly identifying key benefits for retrofit projects in terms of design process, installation process, cost and compliance. 

This is an opportunity to demonstrate how your systems and support can aid in A&A design and construction. 

Article submission deadline: Thursday 12 June

Note: This feature is limited to 20 articles. We will prioritise articles that best fit this brief. If we exceed this limit, we may shift some articles to either of our popular Interiors or Exteriors newsletter. 

August 2025 Feature: Designing for coastal & harsh environments

This month we want to hear about systems that can stand up to New Zealand's harshest environments — including very high wind zones, corrosion zones and coastal areas. 

Your article could focus on:

• A new innovative product designed for use in harsh environments
• A recent project that demonstrates the benefits of your system in a coastal or harsh environment
• An existing system or product — educate architects on how this product can meet NZBC requirements in harsh environments

Products that could be a good fit for this feature include: cladding, pre cladding, roofing, decks, louvres, windows and doors.

This is an opportunity to demonstrate how your systems can help architects design buildings that can withstand NZ's toughest environments.

Article submission deadline: Thursday 10 July

Note: This feature is limited to 20 articles. We will prioritise articles that best fit this brief, focusing on compliance, performance and helping architects to achieve design outcomes. If we exceed this limit, we may shift some articles to our popular Exteriors newsletter.
