New Zealand government removes barriers for overseas building products to reduce costs and ease house building.
New Zealand's government is taking measures to boost the building sector by eliminating barriers to the use of overseas building products. This move aims to reduce building costs, which have increased 41% since 2019, and make it easier to build houses. The government will recognize building product standards from trusted overseas jurisdictions, reduce approval pathways for new products, and require building consent authorities to accept the use of products that comply with specific overseas standards equivalent to or higher than local ones.
