With the Government changes now in effect for homes under 70m², building small has never been easier 🙌
While building consent isn’t required, there are still a few key requirements to be aware of:
✔️ Simple, standalone home design
✔️ Single-storey, up to 70m²
✔️ Must meet NZ Building Code standards
✔️ Built by a Licensed Building Practitioner
✔️ Must comply with local planning, height, and setback rules
✔️ Requires a Project Information Memorandum (PIM) from your local council
