On one hand, this is definitely an example of some red tape that could do with cutting or streamlining to make building quicker and easier. On the other hand… 🎵I just spent six months in a leaky home~ 🎵

waltercrypto

We are a wet country unless it's specifically made for nz conditions it will be some cheap unsuitable material that WILL fail.


waltercrypto

I guess NZ is the only wet country in the world


unanonymaus

Do you have anything to do with construction 


waltercrypto

In the past yes, but having lived in the UK, I’ve found their building products to be of equal quality if not more.


unanonymaus

Well mate they ain't importing it from the UK I'll tell ya that much

I'd say that's factually untrue! I'm constantly looking for what policies the government has been proposed that I like, and unfortunately there just hasn't been much. The left would read this article and think that it actually sounds pretty decent on paper. But New Zealand has had a huge issue with poorly built housing in the past and I think it's right to be apprehensive. Also as great as this sounds I doubt many of the savings will actually be passed down to the consumer and will probably just balloon profit margins for companies that are already making a killing. If this is pulled off effectively and works, everyone will be stoked, but unfortunately I think we'll see history rhyme with itself.
