There’s a belief the problems in the building industry are due to an insufficient number of pre-requisites.
The Government's looking at changes to registration and licensing regimes, with a focus on lifting competence and accountability requirements.
Larger fines could also be on the cards for individuals and companies for hiding non-compliant work during inspections.

He says the bar for entry-level builders is far too low, and needs to be tightened up.
