Not everyone in the industry is on board with the Government’s proposed building consents scheme.
Businesses with a track record of delivering bigger projects, will be able to access streamlined consenting.
Qualified tradespeople will be able to forego inspections for low risk builds through the opt in 'self-certification scheme'.
Institute of Building Surveyors President David Clifton told Mike Hosking consents are there for a reason, as not all builders are perfect and there's still a high failure rate with consents.
Clifton told Hosking we need to get our foundation right before moving forward on this.
He says if we get our education, building and consenting processes right, then this can happen.
