When the peer review happens, it's because it is a unique or novel system that is not in the building code currently, so nobody has seen it at that point, in which case it's quite important and valid to have a peer review undertaken. But it is possible, and we've seen this in Quebec where, when the first 13-storey mass timber building was built, they did actually create a guide that if you repeated that same building, you could follow those instructions and you wouldn't need to go through that process again. So it is possible.
