BOINZ is proud to be promoting the crucial role that our members fulfil in the built sector to ensure New Zealand’s buildings are safe, functional and compliant with regulations.
It is also important that the profession is viewed as one where there is the relevant training and consistency with regards to quality and building outcomes.
We recently launched our first video and asked some of New Zealand’s most prominent building surveyors why they love their jobs - here’s why!

If the changes proceed as proposed, we see there will be three variants of copper alloy fittings in the New Zealand market that will add delays and costs for BCAs when processing building consent applications and undertaking inspections of water supply systems.
In this submission we look at the variants and suggest that for the health and wellbeing of New Zealanders only one product specification for the three regulatory requirements above be adopted.Read our full submission on the SUBMISSIONS tab via MY BOINZ

The government is seeking lower house prices and greater resilience to supply disruptions through improved competition and lower building costs.
The consultation paper does not test whether the proposals will achieve the desired outcomes.
It is critical that any changes do not result in increased risk and liability for homeowners and building consent authorities (BCAs).
Our submission includes examples of overseas standards which look straightforward but are not and factors to consider such as undertaking evaluations and BCA liability.

While BOINZ supports the desired outcomes of housing affordability and inter-generational living, we have significant concerns that the proposed approach will not achieve these.
Instead, the approach will place additional risk of building failure on homeowners providing for elderly relatives, BCAs and the community. BCA oversight should remain to mitigate poor design and building work and continue to protect and deliver building compliance and quality, as it does for all other new houses.
