3 What What I will I be will covering be covering today today Introduction Demonstrating Compliance / Responsibility Innovations / Product certification / Substitution Central Govt (MBIE) product approach Liability / Warranty - Risk Based Consenting Kiwibuild / Prefabricated - Modular Consent Pathways (Qualified Partner / Streamline / Premium) Challenges for the Regulator Questions

4 Over 800 new residents each week 350 new homes built every week 700 new streets created last year 8 new classrooms and teachers each week 670 new vehicles coming through the Ports of Auckland each day

5 22,000 building consents 97% require more information and are put on hold Bigger and more complex houses Value of work is increasing 160,000 inspections 25% fail

14 Prefabricated / Modular building Modular construction is a process in which a building / component is constructed off-site, under controlled and consistent environments

15 Is Prefabrication Building Work? Building Work? Are the units a building? Is off shore construction building work? Is the construction of pre fabricated units building work even if constructed in NZ? May we treat the construction of the units as building work? Consentable? Would a building consent be restricted to on-site work or include the components? MBIE Determination pending

16 Providing Assurance Off-shore design - code and practice variance How to assure construction as per the approved plans Reliance on robust quality assurance - in factory On-site verification Product Technical Statements

17 On-site construction - often no QA system

18 Product certification / Substitution Non-compliant Products Toughened glass Reinforcing steel Electrical cabling Roof tiles Structural connections Product Substitution Substituting the consented product with generally cheaper product may not be compliant in that application

19 Liability / Warranty Risk averse behavior / cost Balance of Choice / Industry based schemes Mandatory warranties Building Act / Contract requirements Law Commission recommendations - Joint & Several Liability (June 2014) Risk Based Consenting (2012 B/Act) Consent Completion Certificate LBP Scheme Review

20 First KiwiBuild homes ready in mid-2018, Phil Twyford hopes Housing Minister Phil Twyford hopes to put the key in the door of a brand new KiwiBuild home in the middle of next year. Twyford announced on Tuesday the establishment of a new KiwiBuild unit within the Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment (MBIE). The flagship KiwiBuild policy is a promise to build 100,000 affordable homes within 10 years, half of them in Auckland. "Affordable" is classified as under $600,000 for freestanding homes in Auckland and under $500,000 for homes outside of Auckland and for townhouses in Auckland. The MBIE unit will be tasked with building KiwiBuild home, purchasing KiwiBuild homes off the plans in private developments, attempting to fix workforce constraints, and coordination major greenfield and urban regeneration projects. The interim unit will eventually be replaced by a Housing Commission but this would take a year or so to be set up. "It will take at least a year to formally establish the urban development authority which will be called the Housing Commission but we're not waiting to get started on building the 100,000 affordable houses New Zealand desperately needs," Twyford said. "Once established, the Housing Commission will take over as the driver of the KiwiBuild programme
