Prefab changes don’t address finance issue
Late last week Building and Construction Minister Jenny Salesa announced a suite of changes to the Building Act which are intended to cut through red tape and allow more dwellings to be built more quickly.
Salesa says that inefficiencies in the Building Act make building slow and expensive and one of the ways the Government is tackling this is by making high-quality, large-scale manufacturing of prefab houses a reality.
“Prefabrication and off-site manufacturing are the future of construction as they help produce high-quality buildings more quickly than traditional building approaches.
“In some countries, nearly 80% of newly built homes are prefabricated offsite, but in New Zealand it’s about 10%.”
