  • Summary

  • The devil will be in the details when it comes to the Government’s new building consents scheme.

    The proposal would allow competent tradespeople to self-certify consents on low risk builds, and businesses with a track record on delivering bigger projects would be able to access streamlined consenting.

    Pete Wolfkamp, ZB’s Resident Builder, told Kerre Woodham that it makes sense that those doing roughly the same type of low risk project over and over again should be able to monitor their own standards.

    He says there are things any competent tradesperson should be able to know when it’s done right, so taking those out would free up inspectors for other projects.

    To mitigate any potential issues, Wolfkamp says contractors would have to move towards having insurance.
