The Building Minister says new importation rules will increase supply and competition.
The Government has introduced new legislation to make it easier to import building supplies from abroad.
It'll enable recognition of overseas standards, and Building Consent Authorities will need to accept products already certified offshore.
Chris Penk told Mike Hosking this is an important step to bringing down building costs.
He says it goes alongside the work the government's doing in freeing up land to make it easier, quicker, and more affordable to build houses.
