The New Zealand Government has announced a new initiative to speed up home construction by allowing trusted builders to self-certify their work and that BCAs will be required to complete 80% of inspections within three working days to cut costly delays.
Industry leaders have raised concerns over quality control and sector readiness, with Nick Hill, CEO of the Building Officials Institute of New Zealand, stating: “Putting a target on an application is ambitious given that the current status of the sector is well below what we would consider ideal, particularly with ... 50% of inspections failing. I don't see how that sort of target can work in reality when we've got an immature building design and building sector.”
About the Building Officials Institute of New Zealand
