Building Act Amendments

Building Act Amendments

As of 1st January 2015, the latest Building Act amendment requires the following:

  • all projects over the value of $30,000 must have a building contract (we recommend any of the NZCB contracts)
  • pre-contract disclosures are available to customers, this includes staff details (qualifications and experience) and details of the insurance cover we have
  • Building Act checklist
  • Health and Safety information
  • post-contract 12 month maintenance schedule – we will be using the BRANZ maintenance schedule which customises every project
  • we will be required to address any defects reported by the client for a period of 12 months
