Now, that's a fairly 20 00:01:57,015 --> 00:01:59,535 Speaker 7: broad kind of topic because we can talk about the 21 00:01:59,615 --> 00:02:02,695 Speaker 7: rules and the regulations that govern what we can do, 22 00:02:02,775 --> 00:02:04,855 Speaker 7: where we can do it, and what we can do 23 00:02:04,855 --> 00:02:08,375 Speaker 7: it with basically we can talk about the actual doing, 24 00:02:09,175 --> 00:02:11,855 Speaker 7: whether that's going to be yourself doing the work, whether 25 00:02:11,895 --> 00:02:14,495 Speaker 7: you're going to be engaging contractors, whether it's going to 26 00:02:14,495 --> 00:02:17,495 Speaker 7: be sort of a hybrid version of both of those things. 27 00:02:18,135 --> 00:02:20,455 Speaker 7: We can talk about the materials that you might need 28 00:02:20,615 --> 00:02:23,255 Speaker 7: to undertake these tasks. We can talk about the tools 29 00:02:23,295 --> 00:02:27,375 Speaker 7: that you might either already have or that you may 30 00:02:27,535 --> 00:02:32,175 Speaker 7: well need to buy. There is a small delight in 31 00:02:32,295 --> 00:02:35,055 Speaker 7: going out and finding a useful tool that perhaps you 32 00:02:35,095 --> 00:02:38,255 Speaker 7: haven't had before, haven't had the need to use, and 33 00:02:38,375 --> 00:02:40,255 Speaker 7: being able to purchase that and then go ahead with 34 00:02:40,255 --> 00:02:42,735 Speaker 7: a couple of projects. And I think, depending on how 35 00:02:42,775 --> 00:02:45,815 Speaker 7: my day goes tomorrow, I'll swing by a particular store 36 00:02:45,855 --> 00:02:49,695 Speaker 7: to pick up a particular tool or item. It's a tool. 37 00:02:49,815 --> 00:02:52,775 Speaker 7: Protractors are a tool, aren't they. Anyway, I found one 38 00:02:52,775 --> 00:02:54,735 Speaker 7: of those online, thought it would be very useful, go 39 00:02:54,775 --> 00:02:57,495 Speaker 7: and pick one of those up tomorrow, Or you can 40 00:02:57,615 --> 00:02:59,935 Speaker 7: just we can talk about all the like I say, 41 00:02:59,935 --> 00:03:03,775 Speaker 7: the regulations, the rules, the regulations maybe around the building stuff. 42 00:03:03,775 --> 00:03:06,935 Speaker 7: Maybe it's around what you can do your land, what 43 00:03:07,055 --> 00:03:09,895 Speaker 7: your neighbors can do on their bit of land. We 44 00:03:09,935 --> 00:03:11,655 Speaker 7: can talk about that on the show as well. We 45 00:03:11,655 --> 00:03:14,495 Speaker 7: can talk about the big picture stuff around the legislation 46 00:03:14,615 --> 00:03:17,255 Speaker 7: and the changes to various parts of the Building Code, 47 00:03:17,335 --> 00:03:20,535 Speaker 7: the Building Act, around the types of buildings you can 48 00:03:20,575 --> 00:03:23,695 Speaker 7: build without necessarily getting a building consent. We can talk 49 00:03:23,735 --> 00:03:28,855 Speaker 7: about changes possibly to joint in several liability. We have 50 00:03:28,855 --> 00:03:30,975 Speaker 7: a fairly in depth discussion about that a couple of 51 00:03:30,975 --> 00:03:33,975 Speaker 7: weeks ago. That's kind of it was like a big story. 52 00:03:34,015 --> 00:03:36,655 Speaker 7: Then it's obviously they're working on it, and maybe there'll 53 00:03:36,655 --> 00:03:39,815 Speaker 7: be announcement around what will change with Joint and several liability. 54 00:03:41,055 --> 00:03:46,775 Speaker 7: And I guess too where it's quite interesting. I haven't 55 00:03:46,815 --> 00:03:51,575 Speaker 7: noticed the uptick in terms of the pressure to get 56 00:03:51,575 --> 00:03:55,615 Speaker 7: a job done before Christmas. Like typically by now we're 57 00:03:57,375 --> 00:04:01,455 Speaker 7: just over two months away from Christmas, there'll be a 58 00:04:01,575 --> 00:04:03,695 Speaker 7: sense of people going, right, I want to get that 59 00:04:03,775 --> 00:04:06,775 Speaker 7: kitchen in, I want to get that deck done. I'm 60 00:04:06,815 --> 00:04:09,375 Speaker 7: going to get some landscaping done so I can do 61 00:04:09,455 --> 00:04:12,895 Speaker 7: some planting over the Christmas period, those sorts of things. 62 00:04:13,055 --> 00:04:18,535 Speaker 7: It's still not quite there seemingly. So maybe you've got 63 00:04:18,575 --> 00:04:21,175 Speaker 7: a project though, and you're thinking shivers, if I want 64 00:04:21,215 --> 00:04:24,175 Speaker 7: that deck done before Christmas, if I've got the family 65 00:04:24,215 --> 00:04:27,855 Speaker 7: coming around for Christmas, dinner. Then I need to get 66 00:04:27,855 --> 00:04:30,335 Speaker 7: that done. Well, you probably need to start planning and 67 00:04:30,415 --> 00:04:32,615 Speaker 7: thinking about it now. So all of these things we 68 00:04:32,655 --> 00:04:35,455 Speaker 7: can talk about and look, we'll probably end up in 69 00:04:35,495 --> 00:04:39,575 Speaker 7: places that I didn't even expect, which will be fascinating 70 00:04:39,615 --> 00:04:42,775 Speaker 7: and interesting, I hope for me and for you on 71 00:04:42,855 --> 00:04:44,935 Speaker 7: the show as well. So give me a call. Oh, 72 00:04:45,015 --> 00:04:47,455 Speaker 7: eight one hundred and eighty ten eighty is that number 73 00:04:47,495 --> 00:04:50,455 Speaker 7: to call? You can also text of course, that's nine 74 00:04:50,495 --> 00:04:54,855 Speaker 7: two nine two ZEDBZB and if you'd like to email me, 75 00:04:54,975 --> 00:04:59,975 Speaker 7: it's Pete atnewstalksb dot co dot z. Now a little 76 00:04:59,975 --> 00:05:03,335 Speaker 7: bit later on in the show, one event that was 77 00:05:03,415 --> 00:05:06,735 Speaker 7: on this week that I popped into very brief on 78 00:05:06,855 --> 00:05:11,415 Speaker 7: Thursday was the Master Builders Association Apprentice of the Year 79 00:05:11,735 --> 00:05:16,495 Speaker 7: Awards and competition. So what happens is, as I understand 80 00:05:16,495 --> 00:05:20,255 Speaker 7: that apprentices around the country have to compete in their 81 00:05:20,375 --> 00:05:25,855 Speaker 7: regional area, then the winner of that regional final Ghost 82 00:05:26,055 --> 00:05:29,335 Speaker 7: comes up to Auckland and partakes in the national final, 83 00:05:29,375 --> 00:05:32,575 Speaker 7: which happened on Thursday. Is the practical part of it. 84 00:05:33,295 --> 00:05:36,295 Speaker 7: They had to make. It was very cool actually they 85 00:05:36,375 --> 00:05:40,255 Speaker 7: made what looked like a steam train, like a locomotive, 86 00:05:41,215 --> 00:05:47,575 Speaker 7: playhouse for a local childhood center childcare center, and so 87 00:05:47,655 --> 00:05:50,535 Speaker 7: each of the I think it was about seven participants 88 00:05:50,855 --> 00:05:53,335 Speaker 7: had to construct this in a period of time. I 89 00:05:53,335 --> 00:05:54,975 Speaker 7: think it might have been between ten o'clock in the 90 00:05:54,975 --> 00:05:57,535 Speaker 7: morning and four o'clock in the afternoon, something like that. 91 00:05:57,655 --> 00:05:59,735 Speaker 7: So they've got all the materials there, they've got a 92 00:05:59,735 --> 00:06:02,095 Speaker 7: set of plans, they're all lined up, they've got all 93 00:06:02,135 --> 00:06:04,455 Speaker 7: the tools that they need, and they have to construct 94 00:06:04,495 --> 00:06:06,335 Speaker 7: this and then that is judged at the end of 95 00:06:06,375 --> 00:06:08,655 Speaker 7: the day. So I got there at about two thirty 96 00:06:08,695 --> 00:06:11,495 Speaker 7: something like that. They were well underway. They'd stop for 97 00:06:11,535 --> 00:06:13,095 Speaker 7: a bit of a smoke o break in the afternoon, 98 00:06:13,375 --> 00:06:16,535 Speaker 7: call it smoke a tea break in the afternoon, and 99 00:06:16,575 --> 00:06:18,855 Speaker 7: then they were going to continue. And then on the Friday, 100 00:06:19,015 --> 00:06:22,815 Speaker 7: the apprentices sit down for formal interviews where I guess 101 00:06:22,855 --> 00:06:25,215 Speaker 7: they're questioned about what they know about the building act, 102 00:06:25,255 --> 00:06:27,895 Speaker 7: what they know about maybe running their own businesses, those 103 00:06:27,935 --> 00:06:31,415 Speaker 7: sorts of things. So there's a practical element on the Thursday, 104 00:06:31,455 --> 00:06:34,455 Speaker 7: and then a theoretical in an interview's a series of 105 00:06:34,455 --> 00:06:37,055 Speaker 7: interviews on Friday, and then on Friday night the winners 106 00:06:37,055 --> 00:06:38,895 Speaker 7: were announced. I won't tell you who the winner is yet, 107 00:06:38,935 --> 00:06:42,375 Speaker 7: but we will be talking to the winner just after 108 00:06:42,415 --> 00:06:44,415 Speaker 7: eight o'clock this morning, so we're really looking forward to that. 109 00:06:44,935 --> 00:06:47,055 Speaker 7: We've done it the last couple of years. I think 110 00:06:47,095 --> 00:06:51,175 Speaker 7: it's great to support the apprenticeship schemes and also to 111 00:06:52,335 --> 00:06:54,455 Speaker 7: shine a light and allow a little bit of time 112 00:06:54,495 --> 00:06:58,055 Speaker 7: in the spotlight for someone who can rightly claim to 113 00:06:58,135 --> 00:07:01,295 Speaker 7: be the best apprentice in the country within the Master 114 00:07:01,335 --> 00:07:04,015 Speaker 7: Builders organization. So I think that's fantastic. We'll be talking 115 00:07:04,055 --> 00:07:07,575 Speaker 7: with them after eight o'clock right now, though, it's your 116 00:07:07,615 --> 00:07:10,415 Speaker 7: opportunity to talk. Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty the 117 00:07:10,575 --> 00:07:14,175 Speaker 7: number to call all things building and construction. Let's start 118 00:07:14,175 --> 00:07:17,255 Speaker 7: with you, Rosk. Very good morning, Yeah, Pete. 119 00:07:18,815 --> 00:07:19,335 Speaker 8: Two things. 120 00:07:19,695 --> 00:07:21,455 Speaker 9: First of all, I think the line will come off 121 00:07:21,455 --> 00:07:25,095 Speaker 9: easy enough for the putty knife or something, but that 122 00:07:25,335 --> 00:07:28,055 Speaker 9: try Okay, it might get a bugged anyway, but a 123 00:07:28,175 --> 00:07:31,215 Speaker 9: share tray, what do you reckon to get it off before. 124 00:07:33,375 --> 00:07:35,215 Speaker 7: It's not cracked or damaged in any way? 125 00:07:35,255 --> 00:07:40,415 Speaker 9: Now, no, um, coming out of my house and going 126 00:07:40,415 --> 00:07:43,135 Speaker 9: to somewhere else's yeah, fair enough if it survives. 127 00:07:43,375 --> 00:07:45,895 Speaker 7: Yeah no, no, no, that's that's awesome. I mean, look, I'm 128 00:07:45,935 --> 00:07:49,695 Speaker 7: all for the old recycling and reuse. I actually think 129 00:07:49,735 --> 00:07:52,015 Speaker 7: you've probably got a halfway decent chance, to be fair. 130 00:07:52,575 --> 00:07:54,895 Speaker 7: It'll be interesting to see what the shower lining looks 131 00:07:54,975 --> 00:07:57,335 Speaker 7: like when you get it off. So I suppose you 132 00:07:57,415 --> 00:07:59,095 Speaker 7: just start from one corner and in there with a 133 00:07:59,135 --> 00:08:02,375 Speaker 7: putty knife that are cutting through the adhesive and then 134 00:08:02,495 --> 00:08:07,135 Speaker 7: peel that off without without cracking it. And then once 135 00:08:07,175 --> 00:08:09,655 Speaker 7: you do that, I would say I'd take the same 136 00:08:09,695 --> 00:08:12,095 Speaker 7: approach if you can with the puddy knife around the 137 00:08:12,135 --> 00:08:16,775 Speaker 7: perimeter of the shower tray to be fair, most of 138 00:08:16,815 --> 00:08:19,895 Speaker 7: the time, when you glue them down, I don't think 139 00:08:19,895 --> 00:08:22,535 Speaker 7: the glue works to kind of stick it to the floor. 140 00:08:22,695 --> 00:08:25,655 Speaker 7: I think the glue works just to stop it moving around, 141 00:08:26,095 --> 00:08:28,655 Speaker 7: you know. So once you give it a little bit 142 00:08:28,655 --> 00:08:31,535 Speaker 7: of a wedge and then get an edge under it, 143 00:08:31,615 --> 00:08:33,335 Speaker 7: I think you'll get it up and. 144 00:08:33,335 --> 00:08:35,055 Speaker 9: Maybe a Jimmy Barr or something. 145 00:08:35,335 --> 00:08:37,935 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think so. And look a little bit of 146 00:08:37,975 --> 00:08:40,975 Speaker 7: it will depend on how old it is, So if 147 00:08:41,015 --> 00:08:46,055 Speaker 7: it's really old and fragile, then yeah, maybe not so much. 148 00:08:46,135 --> 00:08:48,575 Speaker 9: But I'm guessing the same age of the house, which 149 00:08:48,615 --> 00:08:49,295 Speaker 9: is eighty seven. 150 00:08:50,095 --> 00:08:53,935 Speaker 7: Yeah, And I assume you can get underneath the floor 151 00:08:53,975 --> 00:08:55,255 Speaker 7: to disconnect the waste. 152 00:08:55,815 --> 00:08:56,655 Speaker 9: Oh no, it's all done. 153 00:08:56,935 --> 00:08:58,735 Speaker 7: Oh excellent, Okay, what I've done. 154 00:08:58,775 --> 00:09:00,815 Speaker 9: I had to put a bigger shower in the case 155 00:09:00,815 --> 00:09:03,415 Speaker 9: one day. I need to because I'm not I'm not 156 00:09:03,455 --> 00:09:06,615 Speaker 9: as fit as I want for a bit of a 157 00:09:06,615 --> 00:09:08,295 Speaker 9: cripple and the lads say that too late. 158 00:09:10,175 --> 00:09:11,735 Speaker 7: You can say to yourself. 159 00:09:11,575 --> 00:09:13,335 Speaker 9: Right, that's that out of the way.

Tell you what now, just talking 191 00:10:26,615 --> 00:10:29,855 Speaker 7: about tools and finding a use for a tool that 192 00:10:29,935 --> 00:10:32,895 Speaker 7: you don't own. I tell you what I did see 193 00:10:32,895 --> 00:10:37,255 Speaker 7: the other day, and I haven't the moths haven't come 194 00:10:37,255 --> 00:10:40,575 Speaker 7: out of my wallet yet, but I'm tempted, and I'll 195 00:10:40,575 --> 00:10:42,255 Speaker 7: just think about for your job. So if you can 196 00:10:42,295 --> 00:10:45,495 Speaker 7: get underneath the floor and disconnect the waste, there are 197 00:10:45,575 --> 00:10:49,575 Speaker 7: also these little like a blow up bag that you 198 00:10:49,615 --> 00:10:52,815 Speaker 7: can use instead of a pride bar. So imagine if 199 00:10:52,855 --> 00:10:55,295 Speaker 7: you got under the air tock the waist out and 200 00:10:55,335 --> 00:10:57,495 Speaker 7: then you can get around the edges with a pride 201 00:10:57,535 --> 00:11:00,375 Speaker 7: bar from the inside and from on top of the floor. 202 00:11:00,615 --> 00:11:03,015 Speaker 7: But if you were to get underneath the floor and 203 00:11:03,135 --> 00:11:06,935 Speaker 7: slide one of those little inflatable wedges in there and 204 00:11:07,015 --> 00:11:08,895 Speaker 7: pump it up a little bit, you might be able 205 00:11:08,935 --> 00:11:11,975 Speaker 7: to loosen the adhesive in an area that you can't 206 00:11:11,975 --> 00:11:12,975 Speaker 7: get to with the pride bar. 207 00:11:13,855 --> 00:11:18,935 Speaker 9: Yeah, I will consider that. Because they're using for doors 208 00:11:18,975 --> 00:11:19,535 Speaker 9: and things. 209 00:11:20,255 --> 00:11:22,295 Speaker 7: Well, they look fantastic, to be fair. 210 00:11:22,735 --> 00:11:23,975 Speaker 9: Yes, I've seen ue used. 211 00:11:24,255 --> 00:11:27,135 Speaker 7: Okay, it might be a race between you and I 212 00:11:27,215 --> 00:11:31,615 Speaker 7: to go and buy one today. 213 00:11:30,935 --> 00:11:35,175 Speaker 9: You've got some bloody money, mate, that's a different. 214 00:11:38,415 --> 00:11:40,295 Speaker 7: Hey, lovely to talk to you, and thanks for the reminder. 215 00:11:40,335 --> 00:11:43,175 Speaker 7: Good luck with that. Nice and slow as the key 216 00:11:43,175 --> 00:11:45,615 Speaker 7: to it. Oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty is 217 00:11:45,655 --> 00:11:49,855 Speaker 7: that number to call seventeen minutes after six? I didn't 218 00:11:49,895 --> 00:11:54,575 Speaker 7: really describe that. Well, it's it's like a sometimes you 219 00:11:54,575 --> 00:11:57,215 Speaker 7: see them on rescue shows where they they put in 220 00:11:57,335 --> 00:12:00,775 Speaker 7: like a giant bag underneath the car and then they 221 00:12:00,815 --> 00:12:03,055 Speaker 7: pump it up and then it lifts the car. Well, 222 00:12:03,095 --> 00:12:06,615 Speaker 7: there's like a very small version probably about the eyes 223 00:12:06,695 --> 00:12:10,775 Speaker 7: of the palm of your hand, very high density rubber 224 00:12:10,855 --> 00:12:14,335 Speaker 7: or plastic with a little pump so you can slide it. 225 00:12:14,415 --> 00:12:16,695 Speaker 7: Let's say you're lifting the fridge out, you can slide 226 00:12:16,735 --> 00:12:18,735 Speaker 7: it unerneath the fridge, pump it up and it'll lift 227 00:12:18,775 --> 00:12:21,295 Speaker 7: the front of the fridge up. Or you could slide 228 00:12:21,335 --> 00:12:23,415 Speaker 7: it in the gap underneath the door if you need 229 00:12:23,455 --> 00:12:25,375 Speaker 7: it to support a door or something like that, and 230 00:12:25,415 --> 00:12:29,335 Speaker 7: then pump it up. I can hear myself convincing myself 231 00:12:29,375 --> 00:12:32,215 Speaker 7: that this now has become an essential tool for the toolkit. 232 00:12:34,815 --> 00:12:37,615 Speaker 7: I think it might have done too. Anyway, we'll sort 233 00:12:37,655 --> 00:12:39,455 Speaker 7: that out later on ken A very good morning. 234 00:12:40,495 --> 00:12:44,335 Speaker 11: Yes, good morning. I've discovered an essential tool for outside 235 00:12:44,655 --> 00:12:47,095 Speaker 11: and it costs fifteen dollars ninety nine. 236 00:12:47,495 --> 00:12:48,975 Speaker 7: Go for it. 237 00:12:48,975 --> 00:12:54,015 Speaker 11: It's called paver mate. It's got a wire brush, a 238 00:12:54,335 --> 00:12:58,975 Speaker 11: narrow wire brush on a broom handle. And what you 239 00:12:59,015 --> 00:13:02,095 Speaker 11: do is your with your pavers, which have to let 240 00:13:02,175 --> 00:13:05,575 Speaker 11: the water go through so you don't get poling. You 241 00:13:05,695 --> 00:13:09,455 Speaker 11: use your pa mate. And honestly, it's been it's been 242 00:13:09,535 --> 00:13:12,255 Speaker 11: a gist of the light and I found it very helpful. 243 00:13:12,975 --> 00:13:15,815 Speaker 11: I got it from a local garden center. Pavor Mate 244 00:13:15,975 --> 00:13:18,815 Speaker 11: I would recommend it now is it. 245 00:13:18,775 --> 00:13:21,615 Speaker 7: Only for the types of pavers that are designed to 246 00:13:21,655 --> 00:13:23,935 Speaker 7: be permeable pavers, where they have a little sort of 247 00:13:25,015 --> 00:13:27,215 Speaker 7: ridge on the side of the paver which keeps them 248 00:13:27,255 --> 00:13:29,775 Speaker 7: separated from the others so that the water's got somewhere 249 00:13:29,775 --> 00:13:31,895 Speaker 7: to go. Or would you use it on it? 250 00:13:32,495 --> 00:13:32,855 Speaker 10: Ah? 251 00:13:33,095 --> 00:13:36,135 Speaker 11: Okay, yeah, you wouldn't. You wouldn't want to try and 252 00:13:36,255 --> 00:13:42,935 Speaker 11: dig up you know something that's that's that's waterproof. No, right, 253 00:13:45,055 --> 00:13:48,615 Speaker 11: pavor mate. There we are fifteen dollars ninety nine from 254 00:13:48,615 --> 00:13:50,495 Speaker 11: my local garden center. 255 00:13:52,255 --> 00:13:53,855 Speaker 3: Okay, oh, there you go. 256 00:13:54,935 --> 00:13:59,215 Speaker 7: No, I've just done a quick search. Well stone and 257 00:13:59,255 --> 00:14:02,255 Speaker 7: steel scraper effective. That's great. 258 00:14:03,335 --> 00:14:06,495 Speaker 11: You could easily ruin it by tackling something which has 259 00:14:06,535 --> 00:14:08,775 Speaker 11: got it right out of hand, right. I think the 260 00:14:08,815 --> 00:14:12,815 Speaker 11: idea is to get it so that it's pretty pretty pristine. 261 00:14:13,055 --> 00:14:15,215 Speaker 11: I find weeds can come up within a day. 262 00:14:15,775 --> 00:14:17,215 Speaker 7: Tell me about it, and by doing. 263 00:14:17,055 --> 00:14:20,575 Speaker 11: It, get it, get it, get it clean. Well, I 264 00:14:20,575 --> 00:14:22,615 Speaker 11: mean you could use it for that, but get it clean, 265 00:14:22,935 --> 00:14:25,695 Speaker 11: and if you just use it regularly, it wouldn't wear 266 00:14:25,775 --> 00:14:26,455 Speaker 11: out very quickly. 267 00:14:26,735 --> 00:14:29,615 Speaker 7: Right, It's quite intant. See now this has added another 268 00:14:29,695 --> 00:14:31,935 Speaker 7: thing to my list of tools to buy, because we've 269 00:14:31,935 --> 00:14:34,135 Speaker 7: got a little area of you know, with some old 270 00:14:35,815 --> 00:14:39,895 Speaker 7: the old bricks, right, and you can throw in the 271 00:14:39,935 --> 00:14:41,455 Speaker 7: sand and between it and all the rest of it. 272 00:14:41,975 --> 00:14:49,055 Speaker 7: I agree with you. Weeds can come up overnight and hmm, okay, 273 00:14:49,455 --> 00:14:52,255 Speaker 7: thank you. I'm going to add that to my list. 274 00:14:52,415 --> 00:14:56,255 Speaker 7: Thanks Ken, all of this make take care. We can 275 00:14:56,295 --> 00:14:59,735 Speaker 7: take a short break. We're talking tools. We're talking and 276 00:15:00,055 --> 00:15:02,175 Speaker 7: more importantly, I mean the tools there to do a 277 00:15:02,215 --> 00:15:05,015 Speaker 7: task right. So having the tools and not doing the 278 00:15:05,055 --> 00:15:08,655 Speaker 7: work is kind of pointless. But having the right tool 279 00:15:09,095 --> 00:15:11,855 Speaker 7: to help you do the job that makes a huge difference, 280 00:15:11,895 --> 00:15:14,575 Speaker 7: I think.

Oh now, someone else takes through just a 315 00:17:16,775 --> 00:17:21,255 Speaker 7: moment ago, sometime ago you mentioned a ruler. What was 316 00:17:21,295 --> 00:17:23,655 Speaker 7: the name of it? And where is it available? Talking 317 00:17:23,655 --> 00:17:27,895 Speaker 7: about tools, I've got a couple of these. As it happens, 318 00:17:28,295 --> 00:17:31,855 Speaker 7: if you search for the good Rule, you'll end up 319 00:17:31,895 --> 00:17:35,575 Speaker 7: at a website called the Good dot NZ. And what 320 00:17:35,615 --> 00:17:37,335 Speaker 7: I quite like about this is this is a sort 321 00:17:37,375 --> 00:17:42,735 Speaker 7: of a Kiwi twist on the conventional folding ruler, which 322 00:17:43,015 --> 00:17:45,335 Speaker 7: you know pretty much every carpenter's got one in their 323 00:17:45,375 --> 00:17:50,135 Speaker 7: apron right, And so this one is shorter, so it's 324 00:17:50,175 --> 00:17:54,255 Speaker 7: only six hundred millimeters long. When you fold it up, 325 00:17:54,335 --> 00:17:57,175 Speaker 7: it's exactly ten mil thick, which happens to be pretty 326 00:17:57,255 --> 00:18:01,495 Speaker 7: much the thickness of the most standard type of plaster 327 00:18:01,575 --> 00:18:05,175 Speaker 7: board lining. When it's folded up. It's also forty five 328 00:18:05,215 --> 00:18:07,735 Speaker 7: mil wide, which happened to be the same with as 329 00:18:08,175 --> 00:18:10,935 Speaker 7: a timber stud in New Zealand. And then it's got 330 00:18:10,935 --> 00:18:13,535 Speaker 7: lots of measurements that we use for things like bracing 331 00:18:13,575 --> 00:18:16,735 Speaker 7: and sign all fixing, bracing and so on.

Good morning to you, 338 00:18:37,095 --> 00:18:39,095 Speaker 7: Good morning, Petey. 339 00:18:38,895 --> 00:18:42,935 Speaker 12: Well, good thanks. During the process of buying a new house, 340 00:18:42,975 --> 00:18:47,295 Speaker 12: a townhouse, and in the bathrooms they've got tiles on 341 00:18:47,335 --> 00:18:49,575 Speaker 12: the floor, which is fine. But then on top of that, 342 00:18:49,615 --> 00:18:53,415 Speaker 12: this looks like a clear sort of ceiling or something 343 00:18:53,455 --> 00:18:56,015 Speaker 12: on top of the tiles, and where you had a 344 00:18:56,015 --> 00:18:57,935 Speaker 12: build a look at that, and he does he didn't 345 00:18:57,975 --> 00:19:00,935 Speaker 12: know what that was for, so are you. 346 00:19:02,975 --> 00:19:05,375 Speaker 7: I mean, it seems a little unusual in the sense that, 347 00:19:05,695 --> 00:19:08,055 Speaker 7: you know, the whole reason for putting down tiles is 348 00:19:08,095 --> 00:19:11,735 Speaker 7: that they are not quite waterproof, but you know, quite 349 00:19:12,535 --> 00:19:16,455 Speaker 7: water resistant, let's say, and so having an additional seala 350 00:19:16,615 --> 00:19:19,615 Speaker 7: over the top of the tile, unless the tile is 351 00:19:19,695 --> 00:19:23,975 Speaker 7: the tile a ceramic tile, like does it have a 352 00:19:24,015 --> 00:19:28,055 Speaker 7: glaze on it or is it somehow a porous tile, 353 00:19:28,135 --> 00:19:30,975 Speaker 7: which then requires an additional seala. 354 00:19:31,375 --> 00:19:32,415 Speaker 12: I'm not too sure. 355 00:19:33,775 --> 00:19:34,175 Speaker 3: The tile. 356 00:19:36,575 --> 00:19:38,855 Speaker 12: Sorry, I should have found out about from my wife. 357 00:19:38,935 --> 00:19:41,575 Speaker 7: No, no, no, what color if you recall going in there, 358 00:19:41,895 --> 00:19:44,415 Speaker 7: so like, if it looks like a terra cotta tile, 359 00:19:44,975 --> 00:19:47,975 Speaker 7: then possibly it's got a seala over it, but otherwise 360 00:19:48,135 --> 00:19:51,975 Speaker 7: it's a little bit unusual to add a seala over 361 00:19:52,015 --> 00:19:53,575 Speaker 7: the top of a conventional tile. 362 00:19:55,495 --> 00:19:57,455 Speaker 12: I'll check that. As I said, because I'm blind, I 363 00:19:57,455 --> 00:20:00,735 Speaker 12: don't know exactly what the fair enough what the tiles are, 364 00:20:00,775 --> 00:20:03,935 Speaker 12: but so in the opinion anyway, if it was terracotta, 365 00:20:04,415 --> 00:20:05,895 Speaker 12: you might need to see a Libbard. 366 00:20:06,495 --> 00:20:09,895 Speaker 7: Not for other yeah, because they are kind of porous. 367 00:20:09,935 --> 00:20:13,455 Speaker 7: I know you can do terracotta tiles without sealing them, 368 00:20:13,775 --> 00:20:17,215 Speaker 7: but generally there's a sealer. And then from the description 369 00:20:17,375 --> 00:20:20,335 Speaker 7: of other people have given you, when you like that, 370 00:20:21,135 --> 00:20:24,535 Speaker 7: is it obvious that there is a coating or a 371 00:20:24,575 --> 00:20:26,975 Speaker 7: sealer over the top of it? And has that coating 372 00:20:27,455 --> 00:20:30,415 Speaker 7: started to deteror or could you pack away at it? 373 00:20:30,495 --> 00:20:31,695 Speaker 7: I'm just curious as to what. 374 00:20:33,415 --> 00:20:36,135 Speaker 12: No, well, it's a new it's a new build. 375 00:20:36,255 --> 00:20:42,895 Speaker 7: So ah, I'm struggling to think, especially in a new build. 376 00:20:43,215 --> 00:20:46,815 Speaker 7: I can't think of a situation where you would apply 377 00:20:46,895 --> 00:20:52,055 Speaker 7: a sealer over conventional tiles, especially today. 378 00:20:51,215 --> 00:20:53,495 Speaker 12: It's not a normal sort of thing anyway. 379 00:20:53,775 --> 00:20:55,615 Speaker 7: The good thing is if it's a new build, right, 380 00:20:56,295 --> 00:20:59,695 Speaker 7: they'll have all of the contacts for the contractors that 381 00:20:59,775 --> 00:21:02,015 Speaker 7: did the work, So I would just get the agent 382 00:21:02,095 --> 00:21:04,895 Speaker 7: to go back to the builder or the main contractor 383 00:21:05,215 --> 00:21:06,815 Speaker 7: and they should be able to prom buyed you with 384 00:21:07,135 --> 00:21:10,095 Speaker 7: a proper answer that goes, hey, this is what we've 385 00:21:10,095 --> 00:21:11,375 Speaker 7: applied for this reason. 386 00:21:12,735 --> 00:21:15,255 Speaker 12: What's actually got a request the agent at the moment 387 00:21:15,335 --> 00:21:17,055 Speaker 12: so people know that by tomorrow. 388 00:21:17,175 --> 00:21:18,175 Speaker 7: To be fair, it's a bit of a. 389 00:21:19,775 --> 00:21:23,375 Speaker 12: Yes all right. Are the builder who checked it as well? 390 00:21:23,455 --> 00:21:27,295 Speaker 7: So yes, no trouble at all. You take care, good luck, 391 00:21:27,295 --> 00:21:30,295 Speaker 7: with all the best, David Bobby your new stalk seed 392 00:21:30,335 --> 00:21:32,975 Speaker 7: b And let me see that's the other text, are 393 00:21:34,015 --> 00:21:37,495 Speaker 7: excuse me with the new building rules excluding granny flats, 394 00:21:37,495 --> 00:21:39,975 Speaker 7: et cetera from requiring a building consent. Can I build 395 00:21:40,015 --> 00:21:46,495 Speaker 7: a six by six conservatory onto my house? The best 396 00:21:46,495 --> 00:21:48,735 Speaker 7: way to find out is still to use the can 397 00:21:48,775 --> 00:21:52,535 Speaker 7: I build it? Website, which is kind of a yes, 398 00:21:52,695 --> 00:21:58,535 Speaker 7: no process flow chat. So if you find just do 399 00:21:58,575 --> 00:22:00,935 Speaker 7: a quick Google search for can I build it. Then 400 00:22:00,975 --> 00:22:06,255 Speaker 7: you'll find, you know, type in conservatory and then size 401 00:22:06,535 --> 00:22:09,095 Speaker 7: and so on, and it'll take you through a flow 402 00:22:09,175 --> 00:22:12,095 Speaker 7: chart and let you know. So i'd suggest that I 403 00:22:12,135 --> 00:22:18,935 Speaker 7: suspect that you probably can build a conservatory depending. Yeah, 404 00:22:19,335 --> 00:22:23,335 Speaker 7: I think you probably can. Just check. Eight hundred eighty 405 00:22:23,535 --> 00:22:28,455 Speaker 7: is the number to call Um Peter. Very good morning 406 00:22:28,455 --> 00:22:28,735 Speaker 7: to you. 407 00:22:29,975 --> 00:22:33,015 Speaker 10: Hey he is going to pass on Marcus to get 408 00:22:33,095 --> 00:22:37,935 Speaker 10: on the Undica country. Yeah. Then, Hey, I made a 409 00:22:38,015 --> 00:22:41,535 Speaker 10: bit of a faux part about fifteen years ago. I 410 00:22:41,575 --> 00:22:44,535 Speaker 10: had a extended my living area and had a third 411 00:22:44,535 --> 00:22:47,695 Speaker 10: bedroom put on the house, and I completely forgot to 412 00:22:47,735 --> 00:22:54,095 Speaker 10: get a CCC. Is it pretty? I was thinking I'd 413 00:22:54,135 --> 00:22:57,095 Speaker 10: better get that sorted before I pop my clothes or 414 00:22:57,095 --> 00:22:59,815 Speaker 10: the kids will have to deal with it, as they'll 415 00:22:59,855 --> 00:23:00,935 Speaker 10: probably sell the house. 416 00:23:02,335 --> 00:23:07,855 Speaker 7: Hell right, Hey, good on you taking that approach, because 417 00:23:07,975 --> 00:23:09,295 Speaker 7: I think it's easy to put your head in the 418 00:23:09,335 --> 00:23:11,455 Speaker 7: sand and just go it'll be okay, it'll be okay, 419 00:23:11,495 --> 00:23:16,775 Speaker 7: and it won't be So when you did this building work, 420 00:23:16,895 --> 00:23:19,735 Speaker 7: did you get a building consent for the work? 421 00:23:22,215 --> 00:23:25,015 Speaker 10: Wait? So it was a master builder that built it. 422 00:23:25,255 --> 00:23:29,975 Speaker 10: So yeah, I'm sure I've got all the documentation. 423 00:23:31,415 --> 00:23:33,775 Speaker 7: Okay, Well, it sounds like you. I mean, if you've 424 00:23:33,775 --> 00:23:36,215 Speaker 7: got documentation. So if there's a set of plans or 425 00:23:36,215 --> 00:23:40,855 Speaker 7: there's a contract with the builder to do that work 426 00:23:41,575 --> 00:23:44,215 Speaker 7: fifteen years ago, it's touch and go as to whether 427 00:23:44,335 --> 00:23:48,375 Speaker 7: or not the builder who did Just trying to think 428 00:23:48,375 --> 00:23:50,975 Speaker 7: when the licensed building practitioner skin came in. It's about 429 00:23:50,975 --> 00:23:55,295 Speaker 7: two thousand and twelve, or I got licensed twenty twelves. 430 00:23:55,335 --> 00:23:58,455 Speaker 7: It's probably been around, but before there. 431 00:23:58,735 --> 00:24:00,815 Speaker 10: I think this was twenty ten. 432 00:24:00,975 --> 00:24:06,775 Speaker 7: But okay, all right, well look it's not from our 433 00:24:06,815 --> 00:24:09,415 Speaker 7: point of view, twenty ten's not that long ago, right, 434 00:24:09,775 --> 00:24:13,215 Speaker 7: So let's take that approach and go if you've got 435 00:24:13,215 --> 00:24:17,575 Speaker 7: all of that documentation there, let's assume that you did 436 00:24:17,575 --> 00:24:19,535 Speaker 7: get a building consent for the work at the time, 437 00:24:20,015 --> 00:24:23,495 Speaker 7: that there probably were some inspections that were undertaken if 438 00:24:23,535 --> 00:24:27,415 Speaker 7: you had the work done by an aster builder. So 439 00:24:28,015 --> 00:24:31,655 Speaker 7: what is quite likely is that you end up with 440 00:24:32,215 --> 00:24:34,695 Speaker 7: situation where you get to the final inspection, maybe there's 441 00:24:34,695 --> 00:24:36,975 Speaker 7: a couple of things you need to do. Builders moved 442 00:24:36,975 --> 00:24:39,135 Speaker 7: on to another job, they leave it with you. You 443 00:24:39,255 --> 00:24:42,495 Speaker 7: forget that it's your job, not his job, and so 444 00:24:42,575 --> 00:24:45,135 Speaker 7: it sits in the draw for all of these years. 445 00:24:46,655 --> 00:24:50,855 Speaker 7: I think first up, get if absolutely every piece of 446 00:24:51,375 --> 00:24:54,175 Speaker 7: information that you've got about the project. You could always 447 00:24:54,215 --> 00:24:57,455 Speaker 7: go to counsel and ask for the property file and 448 00:24:57,495 --> 00:25:00,335 Speaker 7: that will show whether or not there is a building consent. 449 00:25:00,415 --> 00:25:02,855 Speaker 7: A shoot, I suspect that there is a building consent 450 00:25:03,295 --> 00:25:06,735 Speaker 7: which may have had a final inspection or not. If 451 00:25:06,735 --> 00:25:09,495 Speaker 7: it either way, you will need to get a new 452 00:25:09,615 --> 00:25:13,815 Speaker 7: final inspection. So a councilor will come out, they'll do 453 00:25:14,135 --> 00:25:17,615 Speaker 7: a new final inspection. Chances are you'll fail on something, 454 00:25:18,095 --> 00:25:21,535 Speaker 7: at which case then you need to get that work remediated, 455 00:25:21,975 --> 00:25:25,335 Speaker 7: and then once that's done, you could apply for a CCC. 456 00:25:25,815 --> 00:25:28,695 Speaker 7: That one of the challenges might be is that typically 457 00:25:28,775 --> 00:25:32,975 Speaker 7: with a CCC application you provide evidence, for example, that 458 00:25:33,135 --> 00:25:35,255 Speaker 7: the plumbing work was done correctly, so it might be 459 00:25:35,255 --> 00:25:39,735 Speaker 7: a PS three from your plumber. You might need a 460 00:25:39,815 --> 00:25:43,095 Speaker 7: joinery certificate, you might need you probably need an electrical 461 00:25:43,135 --> 00:25:47,735 Speaker 7: safety certificate, so a CoA for that COC sorry, and 462 00:25:48,495 --> 00:25:51,055 Speaker 7: there'll be a whole lot of other documentation. If you 463 00:25:51,095 --> 00:25:53,975 Speaker 7: can get all of that and the workers has been 464 00:25:53,975 --> 00:25:58,055 Speaker 7: done to a suitable standard, then you should be able 465 00:25:58,095 --> 00:26:00,935 Speaker 7: to apply for and be granted a CCC if there's 466 00:26:00,975 --> 00:26:04,615 Speaker 7: no significant issues, If all of this sounds like it's 467 00:26:04,615 --> 00:26:08,895 Speaker 7: a little bit too much. Your other option is to 468 00:26:08,975 --> 00:26:12,575 Speaker 7: go to you probably need to contract the services of 469 00:26:12,695 --> 00:26:17,255 Speaker 7: a registered building survey. The building survey will do all 470 00:26:17,295 --> 00:26:19,175 Speaker 7: of those things that I just described, get all the 471 00:26:19,175 --> 00:26:23,735 Speaker 7: documentation together, supervisor final inspection, and make an application for 472 00:26:23,855 --> 00:26:29,935 Speaker 7: CCC and then sort of shadow that through council. And 473 00:26:29,975 --> 00:26:32,615 Speaker 7: I'm sorry that it sounds like a lot of work. 474 00:26:33,615 --> 00:26:36,895 Speaker 7: It might be relatively straightforward or it might be a 475 00:26:36,895 --> 00:26:39,735 Speaker 7: little bit of a torturous path, but either way, getting 476 00:26:39,735 --> 00:26:45,535 Speaker 7: it done does relieve your children of that burden. Also, 477 00:26:45,655 --> 00:26:49,535 Speaker 7: when you're taking a property to market these days without 478 00:26:49,535 --> 00:26:54,735 Speaker 7: a CCC tends to be really problematic. And I must 479 00:26:54,735 --> 00:26:57,375 Speaker 7: admit my attitude. Let's say ten years ago. You know, 480 00:26:57,375 --> 00:26:59,095 Speaker 7: if I was looking at a property that didn't have 481 00:26:59,135 --> 00:27:01,775 Speaker 7: a CCC or someone asked me about it, I'd kind 482 00:27:01,815 --> 00:27:04,255 Speaker 7: of go, oh, look, you know, get it and sort 483 00:27:04,295 --> 00:27:08,015 Speaker 7: it out later on. Now I very much shifted my opinion. 484 00:27:08,375 --> 00:27:10,495 Speaker 7: So if someone says, look, I'm interested in this property 485 00:27:10,535 --> 00:27:14,055 Speaker 7: and it doesn't have a CCC, I go put that 486 00:27:14,295 --> 00:27:18,695 Speaker 7: responsibility back on the vendor. Don't take that responsibility on 487 00:27:18,735 --> 00:27:24,335 Speaker 7: yourself unless you're getting it at a significantly discounted price. 488 00:27:25,135 --> 00:27:27,735 Speaker 10: Well, yes, so I mean it made a good job 489 00:27:27,775 --> 00:27:28,015 Speaker 10: of it. 490 00:27:28,095 --> 00:27:31,095 Speaker 7: So yeah, look and fifteen years ago, and the fact 491 00:27:31,095 --> 00:27:33,415 Speaker 7: that you went with a master builder, they've probably got 492 00:27:33,415 --> 00:27:36,535 Speaker 7: some records. You know, they might still be in business. 493 00:27:37,375 --> 00:27:40,615 Speaker 7: They know they should help you out and in no way. 494 00:27:40,895 --> 00:27:45,295 Speaker 7: And this is often a problem where I think homeowners 495 00:27:45,335 --> 00:27:49,375 Speaker 7: forget that it is unless they've contracted it to someone else, 496 00:27:49,615 --> 00:27:53,495 Speaker 7: it is their responsibility to get the CCC at the 497 00:27:53,615 --> 00:27:57,015 Speaker 7: end of a building project. And I think sometimes Homer, 498 00:27:57,095 --> 00:27:59,455 Speaker 7: I don't know that we've done a great job in 499 00:27:59,535 --> 00:28:04,415 Speaker 7: terms of informing people about their responsibilities. And unless you've 500 00:28:04,615 --> 00:28:08,935 Speaker 7: specifically in your contract said to your main contractor your builder, 501 00:28:09,095 --> 00:28:12,815 Speaker 7: your LBP, hey I want you to get me the CCC, 502 00:28:13,455 --> 00:28:15,855 Speaker 7: it does end up being your responsibility. 503 00:28:15,935 --> 00:28:18,935 Speaker 10: So I'm pretty sure it was more responsibility in there. 504 00:28:19,295 --> 00:28:21,695 Speaker 7: And that's what happens the building. 505 00:28:22,295 --> 00:28:24,735 Speaker 10: It wasn't at different times because I was able to 506 00:28:24,775 --> 00:28:28,015 Speaker 10: still stay living in the house while he was doing it. 507 00:28:28,055 --> 00:28:29,815 Speaker 10: So another building inspector did pop in. 508 00:28:30,095 --> 00:28:31,535 Speaker 9: Yeah, he was the. 509 00:28:32,335 --> 00:28:35,335 Speaker 10: Through several stages. So yeah, that old dig all the 510 00:28:35,375 --> 00:28:36,935 Speaker 10: paperwork out and go through it. 511 00:28:37,095 --> 00:28:40,335 Speaker 7: Yeah, it's really you know, it is just a process thing, 512 00:28:40,455 --> 00:28:43,575 Speaker 7: get the paperwork, get the final inspection done, and just 513 00:28:43,575 --> 00:28:45,335 Speaker 7: just work away at it, work away at it. And 514 00:28:46,135 --> 00:28:49,255 Speaker 7: and but like I say, if it gets to you know, 515 00:28:49,295 --> 00:28:51,935 Speaker 7: maybe an argument with counsel around whether or not something's 516 00:28:52,015 --> 00:28:56,175 Speaker 7: compliant and so on, then you probably will need to 517 00:28:56,255 --> 00:28:59,135 Speaker 7: engage a building surveyor to give you some advice or 518 00:28:59,255 --> 00:29:00,615 Speaker 7: you know, argue your point. 519 00:29:00,655 --> 00:29:02,735 Speaker 10: Really, that's all great. 520 00:29:02,895 --> 00:29:05,135 Speaker 7: Thank you for luck and good on you forgetting it 521 00:29:05,255 --> 00:29:05,815 Speaker 7: sorted out. 522 00:29:06,855 --> 00:29:08,575 Speaker 10: Yeah, thought i'd said one of the kids. When they. 523 00:29:12,935 --> 00:29:22,975 Speaker 7: Will appreciate it, I'm sure take care. Yeah, look, I 524 00:29:23,095 --> 00:29:28,015 Speaker 7: just it's a bit of pot and kettle going on 525 00:29:28,015 --> 00:29:31,695 Speaker 7: in my mind. But the yeah, the reality is that 526 00:29:31,775 --> 00:29:35,215 Speaker 7: in the end, getting a CCC a code compliance certificate 527 00:29:35,255 --> 00:29:37,295 Speaker 7: at the end of a building project that has a 528 00:29:37,295 --> 00:29:41,375 Speaker 7: building consent ultimately is the responsibility of the homeowner. It's 529 00:29:41,415 --> 00:29:46,255 Speaker 7: interesting to see councils in their final inspection and I 530 00:29:46,295 --> 00:29:49,055 Speaker 7: was reading a final inspection report the other day state 531 00:29:49,135 --> 00:29:57,615 Speaker 7: that you must apply within sixty days. And but because 532 00:29:57,775 --> 00:29:59,975 Speaker 7: when I first saw that, and I remember last year 533 00:29:59,975 --> 00:30:01,935 Speaker 7: on the program, someone rang and said, oh, look we've 534 00:30:01,975 --> 00:30:04,655 Speaker 7: just finished this building project. We've passed our final inspection 535 00:30:05,015 --> 00:30:06,535 Speaker 7: and now we've got a letter from count sort of 536 00:30:06,575 --> 00:30:11,415 Speaker 7: demanding essentially that we complete our CCC application within sixty days, 537 00:30:11,775 --> 00:30:15,175 Speaker 7: and I'm like, gosh, that's I'd never at that time, 538 00:30:15,215 --> 00:30:17,815 Speaker 7: I'd never heard of it before. It's obviously something they've 539 00:30:17,855 --> 00:30:24,255 Speaker 7: added into the correspondence around a final inspection. Happy to 540 00:30:24,255 --> 00:30:26,655 Speaker 7: be proven wrong, but I can't actually find anything in 541 00:30:26,775 --> 00:30:30,615 Speaker 7: law that states that you must complete your CCC within 542 00:30:30,655 --> 00:30:34,015 Speaker 7: sixty days. I'd spent a bit of time reading about 543 00:30:34,055 --> 00:30:36,135 Speaker 7: it some time ago. I couldn't find anything in the 544 00:30:36,215 --> 00:30:39,375 Speaker 7: legislation that specified that date. Not saying it's not a 545 00:30:39,375 --> 00:30:42,935 Speaker 7: good idea, I just I wonder whether when councils say that, 546 00:30:43,175 --> 00:30:45,655 Speaker 7: they may or may not be able to back it up, 547 00:30:46,095 --> 00:30:48,375 Speaker 7: and what happens if you don't do it in sixty days, 548 00:30:48,455 --> 00:30:51,615 Speaker 7: and is there a statutory requirement to actually do it 549 00:30:51,655 --> 00:30:53,895 Speaker 7: within sixty days? But either way, it's a good idea. 550 00:30:54,215 --> 00:30:57,375 Speaker 7: If you finish the project, get your final inspection, get 551 00:30:57,415 --> 00:31:01,135 Speaker 7: your CCC in straightaway is the best advice. I think 552 00:31:01,375 --> 00:31:03,735 Speaker 7: it is six forty your news talk CB if you've 553 00:31:03,735 --> 00:31:05,575 Speaker 7: got a question of a building nature, and it could 554 00:31:05,655 --> 00:31:09,175 Speaker 7: be fairly broad, whether it's the rules and the regulations 555 00:31:09,255 --> 00:31:11,335 Speaker 7: or the actual getting in there and getting your hands dirty. 556 00:31:11,655 --> 00:31:13,895 Speaker 7: Give me a call. Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty 557 00:31:13,935 --> 00:31:14,695 Speaker 7: is the number. 558 00:31:15,015 --> 00:31:18,895 Speaker 1: Helping you get those DIY projects done right. The resident 559 00:31:18,935 --> 00:31:22,295 Speaker 1: builder with peta wolfcat call, Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty, 560 00:31:22,415 --> 00:31:23,455 Speaker 1: youth talk ZB. 561 00:31:24,175 --> 00:31:26,255 Speaker 7: A couple of texts as well. We've got some spare lines, 562 00:31:26,295 --> 00:31:28,375 Speaker 7: so if you'd like to call that has a great 563 00:31:28,375 --> 00:31:31,375 Speaker 7: time to call. Eight hundred eighty ten eighty is that 564 00:31:31,495 --> 00:31:34,735 Speaker 7: number to call now, morning, Pete. In Auckland, the council 565 00:31:34,815 --> 00:31:37,815 Speaker 7: say apply for a CECC within sixty days or you 566 00:31:37,895 --> 00:31:43,575 Speaker 7: may need another final inspection, which I find a fascinating 567 00:31:43,655 --> 00:31:47,055 Speaker 7: sort of tactic on their part. It's it's kind of like, 568 00:31:47,135 --> 00:31:49,535 Speaker 7: I don't disagree with the sentiment. I think it's a 569 00:31:49,535 --> 00:31:52,295 Speaker 7: good idea to get your CCC in straightaway as soon 570 00:31:52,335 --> 00:31:55,295 Speaker 7: as you've finished your final inspection. But another textra has 571 00:31:55,295 --> 00:31:57,615 Speaker 7: come through and said you've got two years. You have 572 00:31:57,655 --> 00:31:59,935 Speaker 7: to apply for a CECC within two years after the 573 00:31:59,975 --> 00:32:03,935 Speaker 7: work is completed, and I think it's generally accepted that 574 00:32:04,055 --> 00:32:10,015 Speaker 7: after a year you do actually need a new final inspection. 575 00:32:10,095 --> 00:32:16,415 Speaker 7: They won't accept it. So I kind of understand what 576 00:32:17,215 --> 00:32:20,015 Speaker 7: in this sense. All I'm aware of is organ councils 577 00:32:20,015 --> 00:32:22,695 Speaker 7: sort of flexing and going, hey, we're going to tell 578 00:32:22,735 --> 00:32:24,855 Speaker 7: you to do it within sixty days, otherwise you might 579 00:32:24,855 --> 00:32:26,855 Speaker 7: need a final inspection. But I'm not sure if they 580 00:32:27,015 --> 00:32:30,095 Speaker 7: if that's enforceable. I'm sure they've had their legal people 581 00:32:30,135 --> 00:32:32,455 Speaker 7: look at it, but still little bit of a question 582 00:32:32,535 --> 00:32:35,295 Speaker 7: mark in my mind. Here's a great text as well. 583 00:32:35,655 --> 00:32:38,295 Speaker 7: We'll take your calls, so feel free to call through. Oh, 584 00:32:38,335 --> 00:32:41,095 Speaker 7: eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. Hey, Pete. I lived 585 00:32:41,135 --> 00:32:43,495 Speaker 7: in a small brick unit a number of years ago, 586 00:32:43,535 --> 00:32:48,735 Speaker 7: and the toilet would sometimes back up plumbing systems. By 587 00:32:48,775 --> 00:32:51,015 Speaker 7: the way, folks are not supposed to back up through 588 00:32:51,055 --> 00:32:55,655 Speaker 7: the toilet, right. There are other ways of putting your 589 00:32:55,655 --> 00:32:58,375 Speaker 7: plumbing together to ensure that that doesn't happen, But either way, 590 00:32:58,695 --> 00:33:00,975 Speaker 7: in this instance, this is what happened. I got a 591 00:33:01,015 --> 00:33:03,575 Speaker 7: plumber and then he traced it out to a blocked 592 00:33:03,735 --> 00:33:09,695 Speaker 7: drain on the street due to nappies being put down 593 00:33:10,255 --> 00:33:13,535 Speaker 7: the toilet. A street manhole in my driveway would fill 594 00:33:13,615 --> 00:33:15,895 Speaker 7: up to ten feet high and then flow down to 595 00:33:15,935 --> 00:33:18,575 Speaker 7: my unit. A tool I then used. The reason for 596 00:33:18,615 --> 00:33:22,175 Speaker 7: the text is talking about useful tools The tool I 597 00:33:22,215 --> 00:33:24,695 Speaker 7: then used to lift the manhole and check the levels 598 00:33:24,815 --> 00:33:27,455 Speaker 7: was very useful. It was an L shaped gardening trail 599 00:33:27,495 --> 00:33:30,135 Speaker 7: with a wooden handle that I could hook and uplift 600 00:33:30,175 --> 00:33:35,655 Speaker 7: the manhole for an early warning. Look, I mean there 601 00:33:35,695 --> 00:33:37,855 Speaker 7: are actually proper manhole lifters. It used to be just 602 00:33:37,855 --> 00:33:41,135 Speaker 7: a sort of like a giant key that you put 603 00:33:41,175 --> 00:33:43,775 Speaker 7: in and got underneath a little slot there and you 604 00:33:43,815 --> 00:33:46,335 Speaker 7: could lift up the lid. Now they're kind of there's 605 00:33:46,335 --> 00:33:48,895 Speaker 7: a leverage. There's a tool that allows you to connect 606 00:33:49,135 --> 00:33:53,495 Speaker 7: and then with a handle, apply some force via a 607 00:33:53,575 --> 00:33:56,975 Speaker 7: lever and then lift it out. The other thing is 608 00:33:56,975 --> 00:33:59,775 Speaker 7: for those public ones. Now, once you've done that, there 609 00:33:59,775 --> 00:34:03,855 Speaker 7: should then be another like a basket or a grill 610 00:34:04,015 --> 00:34:06,295 Speaker 7: underneath it to ensure that in the event that allow 611 00:34:06,575 --> 00:34:11,295 Speaker 7: a manhole lid comes away, that someone can't plummet into 612 00:34:11,575 --> 00:34:15,055 Speaker 7: those chambers. So typically nowadays to comply, you need to 613 00:34:15,135 --> 00:34:20,455 Speaker 7: install another layer of protection underneath it. And also just 614 00:34:20,535 --> 00:34:23,135 Speaker 7: if you're wondering whether this could happen to you, typically 615 00:34:23,255 --> 00:34:26,895 Speaker 7: what there should be an overflow relief gully or an 616 00:34:26,895 --> 00:34:29,055 Speaker 7: overflow relief on the outside of the house so that 617 00:34:29,135 --> 00:34:32,855 Speaker 7: if the line out from your place out to the 618 00:34:32,895 --> 00:34:36,975 Speaker 7: mains does block up, it will overflow there, And that's 619 00:34:37,015 --> 00:34:41,215 Speaker 7: a point lower than any other sanitary fixing inside the house. So, 620 00:34:41,335 --> 00:34:43,735 Speaker 7: for example, if you've got a shower on the ground 621 00:34:43,815 --> 00:34:48,615 Speaker 7: floor and the line backs up, it should overflow outside 622 00:34:48,655 --> 00:34:55,175 Speaker 7: of your house at thisg before it overflows in your shower, basically. 623 00:34:55,255 --> 00:34:57,775 Speaker 7: And I'm sure if I ask people to text it, 624 00:34:58,215 --> 00:35:00,455 Speaker 7: i'd get a couple of stories about that where that 625 00:35:00,495 --> 00:35:03,455 Speaker 7: overflow either wasn't there or didn't work for some reason. 626 00:35:04,415 --> 00:35:08,095 Speaker 7: And oh, the next thing, it's all coming out of 627 00:35:08,135 --> 00:35:11,135 Speaker 7: the shower, which wouldn't be a terribly pleasant thing, would it. 628 00:35:11,295 --> 00:35:11,455 Speaker 4: Oh? 629 00:35:11,455 --> 00:35:13,175 Speaker 7: Eight one hundred and eighty ten eighty. If you've got 630 00:35:13,175 --> 00:35:15,655 Speaker 7: a question of a building nature, you should call me 631 00:35:15,815 --> 00:35:19,735 Speaker 7: right now. It is six forty seven here at NEWSTALKSB. 632 00:35:19,655 --> 00:35:21,255 Speaker 3: Measure twice God was. 633 00:35:21,575 --> 00:35:25,135 Speaker 1: But maybe call Pete first, feed you AllCare the resident builder. 634 00:35:25,295 --> 00:35:27,455 Speaker 3: News TALKSB you. 635 00:35:27,455 --> 00:35:29,495 Speaker 7: A news talks HEB. If you've got a question of 636 00:35:29,575 --> 00:35:31,975 Speaker 7: a building nature, give me cool, Pete. If you push 637 00:35:32,055 --> 00:35:34,535 Speaker 7: an outside wall out one point five meters but you 638 00:35:34,575 --> 00:35:38,055 Speaker 7: don't change the roofline, do you need a new code 639 00:35:38,055 --> 00:35:40,295 Speaker 7: of compliance? Thinking of squaring up the corner of a 640 00:35:40,375 --> 00:35:44,215 Speaker 7: house to enclose the verandah, yes, that sort of work 641 00:35:44,255 --> 00:35:50,175 Speaker 7: will require a building consent. So the process is that that. 642 00:35:50,975 --> 00:35:54,495 Speaker 7: So what you can do without necessarily getting a building 643 00:35:54,535 --> 00:35:57,175 Speaker 7: consent is set out in Schedule one of the Building 644 00:35:57,175 --> 00:36:00,735 Speaker 7: Act and it's designed to allow people to do modest 645 00:36:00,775 --> 00:36:05,575 Speaker 7: amounts of work without necessarily requiring a consent. So, for example, 646 00:36:05,615 --> 00:36:08,935 Speaker 7: if you've got a window and you want to change 647 00:36:08,975 --> 00:36:12,575 Speaker 7: that window opening into a door, and you don't need 648 00:36:12,615 --> 00:36:15,855 Speaker 7: to extend the width of the lintel, so you're not 649 00:36:15,975 --> 00:36:19,095 Speaker 7: increasing the width of it. You're simply removing that framing 650 00:36:19,415 --> 00:36:22,295 Speaker 7: from below the window sill down to the floor, taking 651 00:36:22,335 --> 00:36:25,215 Speaker 7: the window out and putting in a door, whether that's 652 00:36:25,295 --> 00:36:27,575 Speaker 7: set of French doors or a single door with a sidelight, 653 00:36:27,655 --> 00:36:29,775 Speaker 7: whatever it's going to be. You can do that work 654 00:36:29,815 --> 00:36:34,935 Speaker 7: without necessarily requiring a building consent as soon as you 655 00:36:35,255 --> 00:36:39,375 Speaker 7: extend the width of the opening, because that will require 656 00:36:39,575 --> 00:36:43,375 Speaker 7: a larger beam, requires some calculations to determine the loading 657 00:36:43,415 --> 00:36:45,855 Speaker 7: on that beam, etc. That triggers a requirement for a 658 00:36:45,855 --> 00:36:48,895 Speaker 7: building consent. That's just a small example of that. So 659 00:36:49,015 --> 00:36:52,375 Speaker 7: I would say in this instance here, it's really around 660 00:36:52,495 --> 00:36:56,735 Speaker 7: the interesting there's not actually a requirement in the Act 661 00:36:56,775 --> 00:36:59,495 Speaker 7: around what they call change of use. We often used 662 00:36:59,495 --> 00:37:02,215 Speaker 7: to talk about garages going from being garages to let's 663 00:37:02,215 --> 00:37:05,215 Speaker 7: say a bedroom as requiring a consent because it's a 664 00:37:05,295 --> 00:37:08,215 Speaker 7: change of use. But I read a very well written 665 00:37:08,255 --> 00:37:12,255 Speaker 7: piece again from Walkan Council about that saying that's actually 666 00:37:12,255 --> 00:37:15,895 Speaker 7: not anything that's in the legislation. But in this instance here, 667 00:37:16,295 --> 00:37:19,375 Speaker 7: because you're going to be taking something that was an 668 00:37:19,375 --> 00:37:22,975 Speaker 7: outside space ie veranda, and turning it into a habitable space, 669 00:37:23,495 --> 00:37:27,175 Speaker 7: then it will need to be safe and secure. It'll 670 00:37:27,215 --> 00:37:30,735 Speaker 7: need to have the insulation in it. It changes the 671 00:37:30,815 --> 00:37:34,535 Speaker 7: footprint of the house without necessarily extending it, but it 672 00:37:34,575 --> 00:37:38,175 Speaker 7: does change it. Yes, I think that work would require 673 00:37:38,255 --> 00:37:41,135 Speaker 7: a building consent. And the other thing is, you know, 674 00:37:41,175 --> 00:37:43,415 Speaker 7: if you do that sort of work and there's no 675 00:37:43,615 --> 00:37:47,615 Speaker 7: paper trail to determine what materials you used, what contractors 676 00:37:47,615 --> 00:37:51,135 Speaker 7: you used, and so on, there's an uncertainty in a 677 00:37:51,335 --> 00:37:54,175 Speaker 7: buyer's mind when you come to sell the house too. 678 00:37:54,335 --> 00:37:58,455 Speaker 7: So having a building consent offers up that surety to 679 00:37:59,095 --> 00:38:02,175 Speaker 7: a prospective new owner that the work was done in 680 00:38:02,215 --> 00:38:04,855 Speaker 7: accordance with the building code, that it's safe and secure, 681 00:38:04,895 --> 00:38:08,015 Speaker 7: et cetera. Et cetera, et cetera. So yeah, I think 682 00:38:08,015 --> 00:38:11,535 Speaker 7: that that work probably requires a building consent. The other 683 00:38:11,575 --> 00:38:15,535 Speaker 7: option is that you can do You can go to 684 00:38:15,575 --> 00:38:19,095 Speaker 7: council and in some cases apply for a dispensation. So 685 00:38:19,975 --> 00:38:23,095 Speaker 7: go to them, explain what you're going to do, and 686 00:38:23,175 --> 00:38:25,455 Speaker 7: in some cases they might be able to issue a 687 00:38:25,535 --> 00:38:29,855 Speaker 7: letter that says this work we believe doesn't require a 688 00:38:29,855 --> 00:38:32,615 Speaker 7: building consent and gives you an exemption. But again, it's 689 00:38:32,655 --> 00:38:39,375 Speaker 7: all about the paper trail, and this is legend. Pete 690 00:38:39,415 --> 00:38:42,415 Speaker 7: says the Texter. Read the CCC. I also missed my 691 00:38:42,495 --> 00:38:46,015 Speaker 7: inspection six years ago as my wife was going through chemo. 692 00:38:46,215 --> 00:38:48,135 Speaker 7: I hope it alls well. So I thought I was 693 00:38:48,135 --> 00:38:51,255 Speaker 7: a bit screwed, but your last call reassured me. Read 694 00:38:51,295 --> 00:38:54,575 Speaker 7: the CCC, I also missed it. Yeah, so hey, look, 695 00:38:54,615 --> 00:38:57,975 Speaker 7: I think there's an opportunity there to get those sorts 696 00:38:58,015 --> 00:39:01,415 Speaker 7: of things sorted. Doesn't necessarily make it easy to be fair, 697 00:39:02,415 --> 00:39:06,335 Speaker 7: you know, if you've delayed the CCC. Council can be 698 00:39:06,415 --> 00:39:09,015 Speaker 7: a little bit reluctant, can be a little bit cautious 699 00:39:11,095 --> 00:39:13,855 Speaker 7: for good reason probably, So the best thing to do 700 00:39:13,975 --> 00:39:19,295 Speaker 7: always is to get it done as quickly as possible. Yes, 701 00:39:20,535 --> 00:39:22,015 Speaker 7: there's a bit more of a story to that, so 702 00:39:22,055 --> 00:39:26,935 Speaker 7: two years apparently to do the CCC. What else have 703 00:39:26,975 --> 00:39:30,335 Speaker 7: we got for you this morning, Pete? Are you aware 704 00:39:30,535 --> 00:39:34,935 Speaker 7: of anyone who recoats kitchen benches with a eurothane product, 705 00:39:34,975 --> 00:39:38,655 Speaker 7: which I've been told can make it look like granite. 706 00:39:40,815 --> 00:39:45,135 Speaker 7: I do have a vague recollection of a product that 707 00:39:45,175 --> 00:39:47,375 Speaker 7: you could apply. You could even do it yourself. Actually 708 00:39:48,015 --> 00:39:49,335 Speaker 7: it was a couple of years ago, so I'm not 709 00:39:49,375 --> 00:39:53,775 Speaker 7: sure if it's still around to apply over the top 710 00:39:53,815 --> 00:39:56,735 Speaker 7: of existing surfaces. And yes, it would give you sort 711 00:39:56,775 --> 00:40:00,655 Speaker 7: of a stone slash granite type of pearance. I'll do 712 00:40:00,655 --> 00:40:02,855 Speaker 7: a bit of search during the break and see if 713 00:40:02,895 --> 00:40:05,295 Speaker 7: I can find that for you as well. But I 714 00:40:05,295 --> 00:40:11,455 Speaker 7: think it's still out there. Oh, quite a lot of 715 00:40:11,455 --> 00:40:15,535 Speaker 7: detail around tiny homes and so on. I'm going to 716 00:40:15,655 --> 00:40:18,495 Speaker 7: do that one after the break, because we've got New 717 00:40:18,535 --> 00:40:21,575 Speaker 7: Sport and Weather coming up at around seven o'clock. Well 718 00:40:21,615 --> 00:40:24,015 Speaker 7: not actually around seven o'clock. Bang on seven o'clock. Let's 719 00:40:24,055 --> 00:40:27,895 Speaker 7: do it. Then we will continue with your calls after 720 00:40:28,255 --> 00:40:30,855 Speaker 7: New Sport and Weather. Actually we might have time. We'll 721 00:40:30,855 --> 00:40:33,135 Speaker 7: start with this text and I'll deal with it after 722 00:40:33,175 --> 00:40:35,775 Speaker 7: the break. Morning Pete. Looks like the new relaxation of 723 00:40:35,815 --> 00:40:39,215 Speaker 7: the building compliance for Granni Flat's tiny homes under seventy 724 00:40:39,295 --> 00:40:44,895 Speaker 7: square meters is currently is underway. So currently it says 725 00:40:44,935 --> 00:40:48,255 Speaker 7: the building needs to be two meters away from the boundary. 726 00:40:48,575 --> 00:40:52,095 Speaker 7: Does this mean that the forty five degree angle calculation 727 00:40:52,295 --> 00:40:56,735 Speaker 7: currently being used will not apply? Our concept engineering d 728 00:40:57,215 --> 00:41:00,215 Speaker 7: drawings for the placement of a fifty two square meter 729 00:41:00,575 --> 00:41:04,055 Speaker 7: tiny home or simple standalone dwelling from an our engineering 730 00:41:04,095 --> 00:41:07,535 Speaker 7: company doing the drawing shows that one corner is not compliant, 731 00:41:07,575 --> 00:41:10,575 Speaker 7: and that's based on it being one point one meters 732 00:41:10,655 --> 00:41:13,575 Speaker 7: away and the forty five degrees from the boundary. I 733 00:41:13,575 --> 00:41:17,855 Speaker 7: have requested they redo it at two meters and wait 734 00:41:17,895 --> 00:41:20,775 Speaker 7: for the new rules to be compliant. Why would this 735 00:41:20,815 --> 00:41:24,495 Speaker 7: company not do it based on the new drawings. You'll 736 00:41:24,535 --> 00:41:27,375 Speaker 7: have to go back and chat with them around why 737 00:41:27,415 --> 00:41:30,895 Speaker 7: they made those particular choices, bearing in mind it's not 738 00:41:31,095 --> 00:41:31,775 Speaker 7: law yet. 739 00:41:31,935 --> 00:41:35,295 Speaker 3: Back after the news doing on the house storting the garden, 740 00:41:35,375 --> 00:41:38,455 Speaker 3: asked Pete for a hand the resident builder with Peter 741 00:41:38,575 --> 00:41:42,775 Speaker 3: Wolfcap call OH eight eight eighty NEWSTALGZB. 742 00:41:42,735 --> 00:41:45,455 Speaker 7: EO a news TALKZB open line on all things building 743 00:41:45,535 --> 00:41:47,615 Speaker 7: and construction. Give me a call right now, Oh, eight 744 00:41:47,695 --> 00:41:52,055 Speaker 7: hundred eighty ten eighty is that number to call by 745 00:41:52,095 --> 00:41:54,615 Speaker 7: all means you can fleck through a text that's nine 746 00:41:54,695 --> 00:41:57,575 Speaker 7: two ninety two or zbzb from your phone and if 747 00:41:57,575 --> 00:42:00,415 Speaker 7: you'd like to email me, it's Pete at newstalksb dot 748 00:42:00,415 --> 00:42:04,135 Speaker 7: co dot NZ. So just prior to that break, we 749 00:42:04,375 --> 00:42:10,015 Speaker 7: started talking about that decent long text with regard to 750 00:42:10,095 --> 00:42:12,375 Speaker 7: being two meters away from the boundary, et cetera, et cetera, 751 00:42:12,415 --> 00:42:17,695 Speaker 7: et cetera. We're sticking with the current rules. I think 752 00:42:17,735 --> 00:42:20,575 Speaker 7: the really hard thing is that until we see it 753 00:42:20,615 --> 00:42:23,415 Speaker 7: in legislation, everything that we're talking about at the moment 754 00:42:23,655 --> 00:42:28,615 Speaker 7: is a proposal, and it may well change between now 755 00:42:28,695 --> 00:42:30,815 Speaker 7: and we interviewed. Chris Pink was in the studio a 756 00:42:30,855 --> 00:42:35,855 Speaker 7: couple of weeks ago talking about in particular these what 757 00:42:35,895 --> 00:42:40,335 Speaker 7: they're calling SSD so simple standalone dwellings which will be 758 00:42:40,615 --> 00:42:44,175 Speaker 7: up to seventy square meters. You still need to inform 759 00:42:44,295 --> 00:42:46,815 Speaker 7: the council of what you're doing, and that's where perhaps 760 00:42:46,855 --> 00:42:50,335 Speaker 7: your issue around one corner of it being one point 761 00:42:50,415 --> 00:42:52,855 Speaker 7: one meters away from the boundary and the rest of 762 00:42:52,895 --> 00:42:56,175 Speaker 7: the building being more than two meters away. You may well, 763 00:42:56,255 --> 00:42:59,415 Speaker 7: get a dispensation for example for that. So typically if 764 00:42:59,415 --> 00:43:02,015 Speaker 7: it's less than a meter from the boundary, there's a 765 00:43:02,095 --> 00:43:05,295 Speaker 7: requirement for fire rating to ensure that if that building 766 00:43:06,935 --> 00:43:10,935 Speaker 7: fires up, that it won't or it's less likely to 767 00:43:11,015 --> 00:43:16,615 Speaker 7: impact a neighbor. So one point one meters technically means 768 00:43:16,615 --> 00:43:19,335 Speaker 7: that that's outside of that space, and if the rest 769 00:43:19,375 --> 00:43:22,175 Speaker 7: of the building is orientated further away, if it's not 770 00:43:22,295 --> 00:43:26,055 Speaker 7: parallel to the boundary, then you know the risk is smalling. 771 00:43:26,055 --> 00:43:29,255 Speaker 7: Council might accept that, but it becomes a planning question 772 00:43:29,775 --> 00:43:33,295 Speaker 7: rather than an actual building consent question as such. So 773 00:43:34,855 --> 00:43:37,975 Speaker 7: I think it's really important because I've heard from other 774 00:43:38,015 --> 00:43:42,415 Speaker 7: people as well that clients are requesting builders to start 775 00:43:42,455 --> 00:43:45,975 Speaker 7: building these now, and right now, you still require a 776 00:43:46,015 --> 00:43:49,215 Speaker 7: building consent for that type of work, So until it 777 00:43:49,255 --> 00:43:53,055 Speaker 7: becomes law, you still need to get a building consent. 778 00:43:53,175 --> 00:43:56,775 Speaker 7: Once it becomes law, which might be sometime, might be 779 00:43:56,855 --> 00:43:58,695 Speaker 7: towards the end of this year, but more likely to 780 00:43:58,735 --> 00:44:02,375 Speaker 7: be I think early next year, you just have to 781 00:44:02,415 --> 00:44:07,695 Speaker 7: hold fire on that. Very interesting to see how this goes. 782 00:44:07,695 --> 00:44:09,615 Speaker 7: It'd be really interesting to see what the demand is. 783 00:44:10,055 --> 00:44:12,135 Speaker 7: The other thing I've been thinking about with regard to 784 00:44:12,175 --> 00:44:17,015 Speaker 7: this in terms of, you know, sort of essentially not 785 00:44:17,135 --> 00:44:20,135 Speaker 7: having to get a building consent, and that should speed 786 00:44:20,215 --> 00:44:22,535 Speaker 7: things up, or that should make it easier to build, 787 00:44:22,535 --> 00:44:26,295 Speaker 7: et cetera, et cetera. Is I wonder whether people will 788 00:44:27,295 --> 00:44:31,575 Speaker 7: possibly ultimately choose to get a building consent for the 789 00:44:31,815 --> 00:44:37,535 Speaker 7: surety that that provides to a new purchaser when eventually 790 00:44:37,575 --> 00:44:41,255 Speaker 7: they go and sell that property. And you know, people 791 00:44:41,295 --> 00:44:44,935 Speaker 7: can hold onto property for a while, but very rare 792 00:44:44,975 --> 00:44:47,975 Speaker 7: that someone holds onto it forever. Right, So ultimately it's 793 00:44:48,015 --> 00:44:50,775 Speaker 7: going to get sold, at which time an eager eyed 794 00:44:50,855 --> 00:44:52,735 Speaker 7: lawyer is going to look through it and go, ah, 795 00:44:52,815 --> 00:44:55,095 Speaker 7: do you realize that you've got a building in your 796 00:44:55,135 --> 00:44:58,095 Speaker 7: backyard that doesn't have building consent? And even if you 797 00:44:58,135 --> 00:45:01,775 Speaker 7: could say yep, it didn't need one, would how would 798 00:45:01,855 --> 00:45:06,575 Speaker 7: you then prove that it is compliant with the building code, 799 00:45:07,055 --> 00:45:10,215 Speaker 7: that it's going to be a safe and sound building 800 00:45:10,775 --> 00:45:16,775 Speaker 7: if you don't have a building consent. And it's on 801 00:45:16,815 --> 00:45:18,575 Speaker 7: my to do list of this week is to go 802 00:45:18,655 --> 00:45:21,975 Speaker 7: to let's say some building surveys and go, if you 803 00:45:22,055 --> 00:45:26,335 Speaker 7: were to do inspections and provide a statement at the 804 00:45:26,455 --> 00:45:29,695 Speaker 7: end to say that this building is compliant with the 805 00:45:29,695 --> 00:45:33,335 Speaker 7: building code, what would that cost and would that necessarily 806 00:45:33,375 --> 00:45:37,695 Speaker 7: be cheaper than getting a building consent. It's going to 807 00:45:37,735 --> 00:45:40,055 Speaker 7: be a really interesting time coming up in the next week. 808 00:45:40,095 --> 00:45:42,975 Speaker 7: While oh wait, as it always is ten minutes after 809 00:45:43,055 --> 00:45:44,895 Speaker 7: seven you with peat Wolf Camp News Talk, se'd be 810 00:45:45,055 --> 00:45:47,455 Speaker 7: remember in the next hour we're actually going to be 811 00:45:47,855 --> 00:45:53,455 Speaker 7: talking with the winner of this week's Master Builders Apprentice 812 00:45:53,535 --> 00:45:56,455 Speaker 7: of the Year awards. So that I went out and 813 00:45:56,495 --> 00:45:59,815 Speaker 7: had to look at the practical challenge on Thursday. That 814 00:45:59,935 --> 00:46:02,855 Speaker 7: was really awesome. Then they do a series of interviews 815 00:46:02,855 --> 00:46:04,615 Speaker 7: on the Friday, and then the gala dinner was on 816 00:46:04,695 --> 00:46:07,775 Speaker 7: Friday night, and so we're talking to the master Builders 817 00:46:07,775 --> 00:46:10,775 Speaker 7: Apprentice of the Year, newly crowned. Do you get a crown? 818 00:46:10,855 --> 00:46:15,095 Speaker 7: I don't think so, but newly appointed Master Builders Apprentice 819 00:46:15,135 --> 00:46:17,215 Speaker 7: of the Year after eight o'clock this morning. Really looking 820 00:46:17,215 --> 00:46:19,335 Speaker 7: forward to that if you've got a question, Oh, eight 821 00:46:19,495 --> 00:46:22,335 Speaker 7: hundred eighty ten eighty is the number. Also a couple 822 00:46:22,375 --> 00:46:26,655 Speaker 7: of texts about earthquake strengthening and this is going to 823 00:46:26,695 --> 00:46:30,975 Speaker 7: have a significant impact, I think on people that might 824 00:46:31,135 --> 00:46:35,455 Speaker 7: own maybe old, well certainly older buildings, older masonry buildings, 825 00:46:35,535 --> 00:46:40,695 Speaker 7: older shop buildings, main streets and older parts of town. 826 00:46:41,535 --> 00:46:44,295 Speaker 7: So somewhere like Auckland where there's been a tremendous amount 827 00:46:44,295 --> 00:46:48,255 Speaker 7: of uncertainty as to the value of the building, given 828 00:46:48,295 --> 00:46:52,735 Speaker 7: that it would require significant seismic upgrade to get close 829 00:46:52,775 --> 00:46:56,815 Speaker 7: to new building code that seems to have been that 830 00:46:56,975 --> 00:47:00,295 Speaker 7: was changed, and I think it's a practical response to 831 00:47:00,935 --> 00:47:04,935 Speaker 7: what seems like a relatively low risk. Just on that 832 00:47:04,935 --> 00:47:07,455 Speaker 7: one quickly before we go to Graham Pete. Major problem 833 00:47:07,495 --> 00:47:11,575 Speaker 7: in the earthquake strengthening of Auckland costs so far five 834 00:47:11,655 --> 00:47:14,655 Speaker 7: hundred thousand dollars for each owner construction? What another one 835 00:47:14,735 --> 00:47:17,735 Speaker 7: hundred thousand dollars? What happens now that Auckland is no 836 00:47:17,815 --> 00:47:21,055 Speaker 7: longer on the register? Do they have to complete the 837 00:47:21,095 --> 00:47:24,975 Speaker 7: contract regardless? Can something be recovered? Will they still demand 838 00:47:24,975 --> 00:47:28,415 Speaker 7: a one hundred thousand dollars for a half done job? Gay, 839 00:47:28,615 --> 00:47:32,335 Speaker 7: That's a vastly complicated series of circumstances that you've just 840 00:47:32,415 --> 00:47:35,655 Speaker 7: outlined there. I think it's probably going to end up 841 00:47:35,655 --> 00:47:38,095 Speaker 7: with your lawyers. Is there going to be some compenation 842 00:47:38,375 --> 00:47:43,095 Speaker 7: for building owners that have undertaken earthquake strengthening that maybe 843 00:47:43,215 --> 00:47:46,695 Speaker 7: now wouldn't need to have done. It can't imagine. So 844 00:47:47,895 --> 00:47:50,575 Speaker 7: I just can't imagine. So is it a good thing 845 00:47:50,575 --> 00:47:56,055 Speaker 7: that you've done the work? Yes, it probably is. But 846 00:47:56,175 --> 00:47:58,655 Speaker 7: I can also understand that if you've committed yourself to 847 00:47:58,695 --> 00:48:01,455 Speaker 7: doing that work and now realize that perhaps you didn't 848 00:48:01,495 --> 00:48:04,615 Speaker 7: need to do all of that work, there would be 849 00:48:04,615 --> 00:48:07,375 Speaker 7: a certain sense of frustration. Oh eight one hundred eighty 850 00:48:07,415 --> 00:48:09,495 Speaker 7: ten eighty the number Graham, Good morning to you. 851 00:48:10,935 --> 00:48:12,215 Speaker 13: Yeah, good, good morning. Peat. 852 00:48:13,655 --> 00:48:15,735 Speaker 11: I was just listening to you talking to those. 853 00:48:15,575 --> 00:48:20,295 Speaker 13: Guys about the code of compliance and so forth, and 854 00:48:20,415 --> 00:48:23,775 Speaker 13: I thought myself, stress, that's interesting. So I bought a 855 00:48:24,335 --> 00:48:28,415 Speaker 13: property a few years back off the Estates. That was 856 00:48:28,455 --> 00:48:30,815 Speaker 13: the place that we grew up and we were kids. 857 00:48:30,855 --> 00:48:36,655 Speaker 13: The old farm now the houses was built in nineteen 858 00:48:36,695 --> 00:48:37,255 Speaker 13: eighty one. 859 00:48:38,415 --> 00:48:40,455 Speaker 5: And I was just. 860 00:48:40,375 --> 00:48:42,375 Speaker 13: Going through the notes, and I've got the plans. I've 861 00:48:42,415 --> 00:48:45,775 Speaker 13: got all hand drawn plans. I've got all the handwritten 862 00:48:45,815 --> 00:48:50,375 Speaker 13: notes from the plumbers and the builder, and all the 863 00:48:50,415 --> 00:48:53,535 Speaker 13: expenses what it will cost. But there's nothing to do 864 00:48:53,655 --> 00:49:01,095 Speaker 13: with council paperwork once soever. So before I opened a huge. 865 00:49:02,135 --> 00:49:11,775 Speaker 7: Council So yeah, all right, put your feet up, you've 866 00:49:11,775 --> 00:49:16,335 Speaker 7: got nothing more to do. So what you'll find is 867 00:49:16,375 --> 00:49:18,735 Speaker 7: that if that work was done in nineteen eighty one, 868 00:49:19,335 --> 00:49:24,375 Speaker 7: it would have a building permit. Building permits didn't require 869 00:49:24,415 --> 00:49:29,295 Speaker 7: and don't require today CCC. So what happened is in 870 00:49:29,335 --> 00:49:34,335 Speaker 7: the early nineteen nineties we change the Building Act to 871 00:49:34,535 --> 00:49:40,495 Speaker 7: introduce building consents, so BC so building consents were introduced. 872 00:49:40,975 --> 00:49:45,055 Speaker 7: Building consents then had attached to them a requirement to 873 00:49:45,095 --> 00:49:49,855 Speaker 7: get a Code Compliance Certificate a CCC, so work done 874 00:49:49,975 --> 00:49:54,495 Speaker 7: prior to them doesn't require them. So that's the short answer. 875 00:49:54,655 --> 00:49:57,495 Speaker 7: You just don't need work for that time. Now, if 876 00:49:57,535 --> 00:50:00,975 Speaker 7: there's any subsequent work that might have been done and 877 00:50:01,015 --> 00:50:03,255 Speaker 7: it had a building consent and the building consent doesn't 878 00:50:03,255 --> 00:50:05,895 Speaker 7: have a CCC, that's a different story. But there is 879 00:50:05,935 --> 00:50:09,215 Speaker 7: a very very clear cutoff point at which time things 880 00:50:09,215 --> 00:50:11,815 Speaker 7: that got building permits don't require them. Things that got 881 00:50:11,815 --> 00:50:12,815 Speaker 7: building consents do. 882 00:50:14,895 --> 00:50:15,095 Speaker 6: Right. 883 00:50:16,175 --> 00:50:19,895 Speaker 13: So, for instance, I've just put a new roof on 884 00:50:19,975 --> 00:50:24,335 Speaker 13: the house. Now, the roofing guys, no one ever mentioned 885 00:50:24,375 --> 00:50:29,095 Speaker 13: anything about getting counsel approval. I just rang a bunch 886 00:50:29,135 --> 00:50:32,095 Speaker 13: of roofing company. They or Camenon did quote, and then 887 00:50:32,535 --> 00:50:33,775 Speaker 13: one of them, Kemon, did the job. 888 00:50:33,975 --> 00:50:36,855 Speaker 7: So what you took off is what you put back on. 889 00:50:38,095 --> 00:50:41,615 Speaker 13: No I had dipramatic tiles and now I've got long run. 890 00:50:41,815 --> 00:50:48,375 Speaker 7: Right, Yeah, there's some If my mate's listening, who's a 891 00:50:48,375 --> 00:50:50,775 Speaker 7: building server, he will text me and say you should 892 00:50:50,775 --> 00:50:54,135 Speaker 7: have had a building consent for that. And part of 893 00:50:54,175 --> 00:50:59,135 Speaker 7: it is about while they're both technically lightweight roofs, the 894 00:50:59,175 --> 00:51:04,135 Speaker 7: fact is the fixings are different. Right, So to prevent 895 00:51:04,295 --> 00:51:08,175 Speaker 7: uplift today, when you fixed a perlin onto a truss, 896 00:51:08,575 --> 00:51:13,015 Speaker 7: there's a particular requirement for hold downs. That's either going 897 00:51:13,055 --> 00:51:15,935 Speaker 7: to be like a blue screw or a Z nail. 898 00:51:15,975 --> 00:51:18,855 Speaker 7: I suppose you could do or I noticed the pasload 899 00:51:18,895 --> 00:51:21,295 Speaker 7: guys have got some special nails now that if you 900 00:51:21,335 --> 00:51:24,895 Speaker 7: put fire three of those down, that will give you 901 00:51:24,975 --> 00:51:29,575 Speaker 7: the hold down required. So, because it's then a structural 902 00:51:29,615 --> 00:51:32,655 Speaker 7: element to the building, that part of it would trigger 903 00:51:32,695 --> 00:51:35,455 Speaker 7: the requirement for a building consent. So if you can 904 00:51:35,655 --> 00:51:39,015 Speaker 7: prove that your contractors were aware of that, So what 905 00:51:39,055 --> 00:51:42,455 Speaker 7: would have happened is taken the dechromastic off, they would 906 00:51:42,455 --> 00:51:45,415 Speaker 7: have taken the batons off maybe or they've left them 907 00:51:45,415 --> 00:51:48,575 Speaker 7: in place, added new perlins three to two perlins and 908 00:51:48,655 --> 00:51:50,855 Speaker 7: those would have needed to be fixed down in accordance 909 00:51:50,855 --> 00:51:52,815 Speaker 7: to the building code. And then there would be some 910 00:51:52,895 --> 00:51:55,295 Speaker 7: building paper or some roofing paper and then the iron 911 00:51:55,375 --> 00:52:00,535 Speaker 7: over the top of it. So yeah, technically that might 912 00:52:00,575 --> 00:52:01,495 Speaker 7: have a require a building. 913 00:52:03,415 --> 00:52:08,415 Speaker 13: So if I have a signed contract with a like 914 00:52:08,495 --> 00:52:13,895 Speaker 13: a reputable building company that's done the job, yep, and 915 00:52:15,015 --> 00:52:18,495 Speaker 13: what do I need to notify the council myself and go, oh, 916 00:52:18,535 --> 00:52:19,815 Speaker 13: by the way, this has got done. 917 00:52:20,215 --> 00:52:23,775 Speaker 7: Yes, I tell you what. You raise a really interesting issue. So, 918 00:52:23,935 --> 00:52:28,015 Speaker 7: for example, if the roofing contractor is a licensed building practitioner, 919 00:52:28,575 --> 00:52:33,615 Speaker 7: which I presume they probably are, then under the Code 920 00:52:33,615 --> 00:52:36,255 Speaker 7: of Ethics for LBPS, which has been in place for 921 00:52:36,295 --> 00:52:40,175 Speaker 7: almost three years now, there is a requirement to act 922 00:52:40,255 --> 00:52:44,455 Speaker 7: professionally right, to give professional advice and to work within 923 00:52:44,495 --> 00:52:47,135 Speaker 7: the law. Now, I would have thought that by now 924 00:52:47,335 --> 00:52:49,815 Speaker 7: roofers would have sat down and said to each other 925 00:52:50,415 --> 00:52:52,495 Speaker 7: and to the if they're a part of the Roofing 926 00:52:52,535 --> 00:52:55,495 Speaker 7: Association or something like that, hey, look, you know, in 927 00:52:55,535 --> 00:52:58,815 Speaker 7: what instances do we need to offer professional advice to 928 00:52:58,855 --> 00:53:01,335 Speaker 7: a homeowner to say, hey, I'd love to come and 929 00:53:01,375 --> 00:53:03,615 Speaker 7: do the job. But by the way, it does require 930 00:53:03,615 --> 00:53:08,095 Speaker 7: a building consent, rather than just doing work possibly knowing 931 00:53:08,175 --> 00:53:11,415 Speaker 7: that it did need a building consent, but not advising 932 00:53:11,495 --> 00:53:16,615 Speaker 7: the homeowner of their responsibilities under the Building Act. So 933 00:53:16,655 --> 00:53:19,495 Speaker 7: that that's an interesting kind of debate that we could 934 00:53:19,575 --> 00:53:23,535 Speaker 7: be having at the moment around you know, I think 935 00:53:23,535 --> 00:53:26,855 Speaker 7: that as LBPS, if we're asked to do work that 936 00:53:26,895 --> 00:53:30,615 Speaker 7: we know requires a building consent, but we decide not 937 00:53:30,735 --> 00:53:33,495 Speaker 7: to get one or not to advise clients about doing it, 938 00:53:33,815 --> 00:53:36,935 Speaker 7: I think we're in breach of the Code of Ethics. 939 00:53:38,975 --> 00:53:44,015 Speaker 7: When did you have to work done well? I suppose 940 00:53:44,055 --> 00:53:48,175 Speaker 7: as a homeowner you have a responsibility, but then you know, 941 00:53:48,255 --> 00:53:51,255 Speaker 7: as a homeowner that's perhaps not o fay with the 942 00:53:51,255 --> 00:53:55,895 Speaker 7: Building Act. You rely on the professional advice of contractors 943 00:53:55,935 --> 00:53:58,855 Speaker 7: that you employ. And as part of the introduction of 944 00:53:58,895 --> 00:54:02,375 Speaker 7: the Code of Ethics for LBPS, it sets a standard 945 00:54:02,495 --> 00:54:05,175 Speaker 7: for how we should behave and one of those things 946 00:54:05,295 --> 00:54:11,815 Speaker 7: is around professional standards and around offering professional advice to 947 00:54:11,935 --> 00:54:16,335 Speaker 7: our clients and if they were aware and look, times 948 00:54:16,375 --> 00:54:19,495 Speaker 7: are tight, right, so people will be doing work at 949 00:54:19,495 --> 00:54:22,775 Speaker 7: the moment that they probably shouldn't do without a consent 950 00:54:22,815 --> 00:54:23,895 Speaker 7: and all the rest of it because they want to 951 00:54:23,975 --> 00:54:27,095 Speaker 7: keep working. I understand that, but it doesn't take away 952 00:54:27,175 --> 00:54:30,295 Speaker 7: from our new responsibilities under the Code of Ethics to 953 00:54:30,615 --> 00:54:32,415 Speaker 7: act responsibly. 954 00:54:34,055 --> 00:54:42,295 Speaker 13: Yea, And yeah, being responsible would be telling the customer 955 00:54:42,695 --> 00:54:45,455 Speaker 13: what is required. I guess that's what they're right, So. 956 00:54:45,855 --> 00:54:49,535 Speaker 7: That's kind of how I see it, and it's she 957 00:54:49,655 --> 00:54:53,975 Speaker 7: I've got there. You go surprisingly organized today. So I've 958 00:54:54,015 --> 00:54:57,535 Speaker 7: got the Code of Ethics in front of me, and 959 00:55:00,175 --> 00:55:04,735 Speaker 7: work safely, act within the law, take responsibility for your actions, 960 00:55:04,855 --> 00:55:08,775 Speaker 7: behave professionally. Those are the four key areas, and then 961 00:55:08,935 --> 00:55:13,255 Speaker 7: underneath that there's kind of a summary of about nineteen 962 00:55:13,375 --> 00:55:20,175 Speaker 7: different points. So yeah, I think that in that, Yeah, 963 00:55:20,255 --> 00:55:25,215 Speaker 7: you must comply with the law. So the building Code, 964 00:55:25,615 --> 00:55:28,615 Speaker 7: those sorts of things. We have a duty to report 965 00:55:28,655 --> 00:55:33,255 Speaker 7: breaches of that as well. As an LBP. Now we've 966 00:55:33,255 --> 00:55:36,695 Speaker 7: got to explain risks. Be knowledgeable about what you are 967 00:55:36,735 --> 00:55:39,455 Speaker 7: allowed to do. And I'm reading this directly from section three. 968 00:55:39,935 --> 00:55:42,095 Speaker 7: Make sure you know what is expected of you as 969 00:55:42,095 --> 00:55:45,455 Speaker 7: an LBP, in particular what your license class permits you 970 00:55:45,495 --> 00:55:49,095 Speaker 7: to do when conducting or supervising restricted building work. Carrying 971 00:55:49,135 --> 00:55:51,655 Speaker 7: out or supervising work that you are not licensed to 972 00:55:51,695 --> 00:55:57,775 Speaker 7: do may also breach that section. Duty to inform and 973 00:55:58,055 --> 00:56:03,175 Speaker 7: educate a client. Be accountable. Now, this is all stuff 974 00:56:03,255 --> 00:56:06,135 Speaker 7: now that's available.

Oh, 1013 00:58:22,335 --> 00:58:24,255 Speaker 7: eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call 1014 00:58:24,255 --> 00:58:27,055 Speaker 7: when you take a break. It is twenty three minutes 1015 00:58:27,095 --> 00:58:27,695 Speaker 7: after seven. 1016 00:58:27,895 --> 00:58:30,775 Speaker 1: Whether you're painting the ceiling, fixing the fens, or wondering 1017 00:58:30,855 --> 00:58:32,415 Speaker 1: how to fix that hole in the wall. 1018 00:58:32,495 --> 00:58:34,215 Speaker 3: Give Peter wolf Gabber call on. 1019 00:58:35,695 --> 00:58:35,975 Speaker 8: Eighty. 1020 00:58:36,135 --> 00:58:38,175 Speaker 3: The resident builder on youth Dogs at. 1021 00:58:38,135 --> 00:58:42,855 Speaker 7: B I've noticed recently, and for people that live in 1022 00:58:42,975 --> 00:58:45,655 Speaker 7: or manage an apartment block. You'll know this as well. 1023 00:58:45,895 --> 00:58:49,655 Speaker 7: How quickly aluminium joinery can fade, can get chalky, can 1024 00:58:49,695 --> 00:58:52,695 Speaker 7: start to corrode away. So I've got Jacob here from 1025 00:58:52,815 --> 00:58:56,175 Speaker 7: Nano Clear to let us know how that can be fixed. 1026 00:58:56,455 --> 00:58:57,935 Speaker 7: Good morning, How are you, Jacob? 1027 00:58:58,415 --> 00:59:00,535 Speaker 14: Yeah, good moyn. Thank thanks for having me made. 1028 00:59:00,655 --> 00:59:03,095 Speaker 7: Now, am I right in understanding that you can bring 1029 00:59:03,335 --> 00:59:07,175 Speaker 7: back that original color of faded aluminium jewnery so it 1030 00:59:07,295 --> 00:59:08,135 Speaker 7: looks like new? 1031 00:59:09,135 --> 00:59:12,575 Speaker 14: Yes, absolutely can. So our process rejuvenates old and tired 1032 00:59:12,615 --> 00:59:15,535 Speaker 14: element of jrawnery and it instantly restores the original color 1033 00:59:15,535 --> 00:59:17,655 Speaker 14: and gloss. So then it not only looks brand new, 1034 00:59:17,695 --> 00:59:20,295 Speaker 14: but it's actually protected for longer than even brand new jrawnry. 1035 00:59:20,735 --> 00:59:23,535 Speaker 7: Right, So for body corporates who are managing perhaps dozens 1036 00:59:23,535 --> 00:59:26,095 Speaker 7: of units, this isn't just a costmetic issue. This is 1037 00:59:26,135 --> 00:59:28,935 Speaker 7: actually long term protection and cost savings. 1038 00:59:29,695 --> 00:59:30,415 Speaker 15: Yes, that's right. 1039 00:59:30,495 --> 00:59:33,855 Speaker 14: So replacing jewnery on an entire apartment block costs hundreds 1040 00:59:33,855 --> 00:59:36,775 Speaker 14: of thousands of dollars, but were nanoclear, we can recolor 1041 00:59:36,855 --> 00:59:39,535 Speaker 14: to something different or restore what was originally there at 1042 00:59:39,535 --> 00:59:41,815 Speaker 14: a fraction of the cost and have it last even longer. 1043 00:59:42,255 --> 00:59:44,695 Speaker 7: So what will it actually protect from and how long 1044 00:59:44,735 --> 00:59:47,015 Speaker 7: does that last well. 1045 00:59:47,095 --> 00:59:49,575 Speaker 14: Nanoclare is sun UV and sea salt resistance, and we 1046 00:59:49,615 --> 00:59:51,695 Speaker 14: live on an island surrounded by sea salt and then 1047 00:59:51,735 --> 00:59:54,415 Speaker 14: the highest UV saturation in the world, so nanocaire is 1048 00:59:54,415 --> 00:59:57,455 Speaker 14: actually the perfect remedy for our climate. It's also chemical 1049 00:59:57,495 --> 00:59:59,975 Speaker 14: and solvent resistant and a lot harder than normal paint, 1050 01:00:00,055 --> 01:00:02,855 Speaker 14: making it super hard to damage. And how long does 1051 01:00:02,895 --> 01:00:05,535 Speaker 14: it lasts? Well, we guarantee it lasts for a decade, 1052 01:00:05,535 --> 01:00:07,695 Speaker 14: but we always to last a lot longer than that. 1053 01:00:08,335 --> 01:00:10,735 Speaker 7: So if you're involved with the body corporate, your work 1054 01:00:10,855 --> 01:00:13,575 Speaker 7: is perfect because it not only makes the building look 1055 01:00:13,615 --> 01:00:16,735 Speaker 7: really sharp, but it's also protecting the investment and it 1056 01:00:16,855 --> 01:00:18,975 Speaker 7: may not require as much maintenance in the future. 1057 01:00:19,815 --> 01:00:22,255 Speaker 14: Yeah, exactly better. So body corporates tell us all the 1058 01:00:22,295 --> 01:00:24,695 Speaker 14: time that they love the immediate list that it gets 1059 01:00:24,935 --> 01:00:27,455 Speaker 14: for the appearance and the resale value in ten satisfaction 1060 01:00:27,895 --> 01:00:29,535 Speaker 14: and then the peace of mind knowing that it will 1061 01:00:29,575 --> 01:00:31,575 Speaker 14: stay protected for so far into the future. 1062 01:00:31,855 --> 01:00:34,055 Speaker 7: So do you guys just work with body corporates? 1063 01:00:34,655 --> 01:00:37,215 Speaker 14: Oh, necessarily work with homeowners and business owners and property 1064 01:00:37,215 --> 01:00:40,135 Speaker 14: managers and anyone that has eliminimal color stee already that 1065 01:00:40,175 --> 01:00:41,895 Speaker 14: they want to protect from corrosion. 1066 01:00:41,455 --> 01:00:42,095 Speaker 12: In the future. 1067 01:00:43,255 --> 01:00:45,935 Speaker 7: So it sounds like if you're in a body corporate 1068 01:00:46,015 --> 01:00:48,375 Speaker 7: or you're on the committee and you're managing the department block, 1069 01:00:48,615 --> 01:00:51,575 Speaker 7: it's worth a conversation with the team at Nanoclear. You'll 1070 01:00:51,615 --> 01:00:54,175 Speaker 7: find them at nanoclear dot co dot nz. 1071 01:00:55,175 --> 01:00:57,415 Speaker 14: Yeah, that's Nanoclear dot co, doo and zed and you 1072 01:00:57,455 --> 01:00:59,335 Speaker 14: can see everything we do in our hundreds of five 1073 01:00:59,335 --> 01:01:01,015 Speaker 14: star reviews from normal everyday people. 1074 01:01:01,255 --> 01:01:02,735 Speaker 7: Great talking with you, Jacob, Thank. 1075 01:01:02,615 --> 01:01:04,375 Speaker 14: You, thanks better, I love your work. 1076 01:01:06,455 --> 01:01:09,895 Speaker 7: Be Hey. Now with the weather warming up and the 1077 01:01:09,935 --> 01:01:12,535 Speaker 7: season starting to change, it won't be long before you'll 1078 01:01:12,575 --> 01:01:14,775 Speaker 7: be out there stuck into the garden and enjoying the 1079 01:01:14,815 --> 01:01:17,655 Speaker 7: fresh air. Spring is the perfect time to get your 1080 01:01:17,655 --> 01:01:20,535 Speaker 7: garden growing. And what's the secret to bigger, stronger and 1081 01:01:20,655 --> 01:01:24,495 Speaker 7: more productive plants will its root blast If you haven't heard, 1082 01:01:24,855 --> 01:01:27,975 Speaker 7: root blast gives your plants that little extra boost of 1083 01:01:28,095 --> 01:01:32,295 Speaker 7: nutrients they need to grow abundantly. Simply add root blast 1084 01:01:32,375 --> 01:01:36,575 Speaker 7: to your soil and watch your plants grow.

A little sprinkle of root 1086 01:01:39,535 --> 01:01:42,855 Speaker 7: blast helps build stronger plants from the roots up and 1087 01:01:42,935 --> 01:01:47,375 Speaker 7: plays a part in creating a healthier leaf structure. In turn, 1088 01:01:47,735 --> 01:01:50,415 Speaker 7: you'll have plants every green thumb will be jealous of. 1089 01:01:50,575 --> 01:01:55,175 Speaker 7: It's environmentally safe, hormone free, and disease resistant, so no 1090 01:01:55,375 --> 01:01:57,855 Speaker 7: need to worry about all of those nasty things.

Let's get amongst it. Kevin, 1098 01:02:17,695 --> 01:02:18,775 Speaker 7: good morning. 1099 01:02:19,375 --> 01:02:22,615 Speaker 16: Good morning, beat Hey, how you doing, come mad? 1100 01:02:23,055 --> 01:02:23,215 Speaker 13: Yeah? 1101 01:02:23,455 --> 01:02:27,335 Speaker 16: I plan living kitchen, lounge. Yes, west facing window. 1102 01:02:27,575 --> 01:02:28,575 Speaker 12: Yes, in the lounge. 1103 01:02:29,375 --> 01:02:33,775 Speaker 16: So on a good sunny day in the winter, I 1104 01:02:33,815 --> 01:02:35,935 Speaker 16: can get it. With a nets pulled back, I can 1105 01:02:35,975 --> 01:02:37,655 Speaker 16: get it up to twenty three degrees. 1106 01:02:38,015 --> 01:02:38,375 Speaker 7: Gotcha. 1107 01:02:38,735 --> 01:02:43,055 Speaker 16: So my question is this, if that was double glazed, 1108 01:02:44,215 --> 01:02:45,215 Speaker 16: what would the story be. 1109 01:02:47,255 --> 01:02:51,015 Speaker 7: It depends. One of the things I and I do 1110 01:02:51,135 --> 01:02:53,415 Speaker 7: quite a bit of work with Metro Performance Class who 1111 01:02:53,415 --> 01:02:54,215 Speaker 7: make double glazing. 1112 01:02:54,295 --> 01:02:54,455 Speaker 10: Right. 1113 01:02:54,495 --> 01:02:57,415 Speaker 7: So one of the things that I think the next 1114 01:02:57,455 --> 01:03:00,135 Speaker 7: story to tell about double glazing is that you can 1115 01:03:00,175 --> 01:03:03,615 Speaker 7: get it to do different things depending on what your 1116 01:03:03,655 --> 01:03:06,255 Speaker 7: requirements are. So Typically when we think about double blas, 1117 01:03:06,695 --> 01:03:11,415 Speaker 7: we're thinking about heat retention. Right. We realize that heat 1118 01:03:11,455 --> 01:03:14,935 Speaker 7: will dissipate through a single glazed unit and our houses 1119 01:03:14,975 --> 01:03:18,535 Speaker 7: will get colder in winter. Therefore, we want to trap 1120 01:03:18,575 --> 01:03:22,695 Speaker 7: that heat inside. So we're going to orientate the thermal 1121 01:03:22,775 --> 01:03:26,375 Speaker 7: resistance let's say, inside, so that we trap that heat. Now, 1122 01:03:26,455 --> 01:03:30,775 Speaker 7: in your situation, you might be saying, in fact, I 1123 01:03:30,815 --> 01:03:35,535 Speaker 7: don't mind if the heat goes out. What I, or 1124 01:03:35,575 --> 01:03:39,455 Speaker 7: more importantly so, is your concern around keeping heat in 1125 01:03:39,695 --> 01:03:45,415 Speaker 7: or keeping heat out in summer time. Okay, so in 1126 01:03:45,415 --> 01:03:48,655 Speaker 7: that sense, there yes, putting double glazing in, doing like 1127 01:03:48,695 --> 01:03:52,495 Speaker 7: a low e coating, which will then push that heat 1128 01:03:52,655 --> 01:03:55,175 Speaker 7: back inside or stop it escaping at the same rate, 1129 01:03:55,615 --> 01:03:58,735 Speaker 7: will help make that space warmer. If you've got insulation 1130 01:03:58,815 --> 01:04:02,615 Speaker 7: in the walls, if you've got half decent joinery, if 1131 01:04:02,655 --> 01:04:05,535 Speaker 7: you've done some insulation into the ceiling, if it's successible 1132 01:04:05,575 --> 01:04:09,375 Speaker 7: those sorts of things. Your weak spot will be your glazing. Right, 1133 01:04:09,455 --> 01:04:13,175 Speaker 7: So simply taking out your single glazing adding in double glazing, 1134 01:04:13,295 --> 01:04:16,615 Speaker 7: it'll be at a rough guess, at least seven times 1135 01:04:16,695 --> 01:04:21,615 Speaker 7: more thermally efficient than your single glazing with that. 1136 01:04:22,015 --> 01:04:26,295 Speaker 16: So what if it's twenty three degrees now? Yes, well 1137 01:04:26,335 --> 01:04:29,335 Speaker 16: in the winter, what do you reckon degrees would be 1138 01:04:29,375 --> 01:04:30,335 Speaker 16: with the double glazing. 1139 01:04:30,895 --> 01:04:33,375 Speaker 7: Well, I think it's more a question of in order 1140 01:04:33,415 --> 01:04:35,855 Speaker 7: to get to twenty three degrees in winter. Right now, 1141 01:04:36,615 --> 01:04:39,695 Speaker 7: you've probably got the heater is going and that sort 1142 01:04:39,695 --> 01:04:43,255 Speaker 7: of thing, right and your heat loss. You will lose 1143 01:04:43,295 --> 01:04:44,895 Speaker 7: a lot of heat. You'll still be able to get 1144 01:04:44,935 --> 01:04:46,855 Speaker 7: to twenty three degrees, but you need a lot of 1145 01:04:46,975 --> 01:04:47,735 Speaker 7: energy to do it. 1146 01:04:48,815 --> 01:04:49,735 Speaker 16: I'm not using the heater. 1147 01:04:50,495 --> 01:04:53,455 Speaker 7: So how does the house get to twenty three degrees? Simply? 1148 01:04:53,535 --> 01:04:57,215 Speaker 16: Because well, just what the sudden Like, as I say, 1149 01:04:57,255 --> 01:05:00,815 Speaker 16: on a good sunny day in the winter, it gets 1150 01:05:00,855 --> 01:05:03,335 Speaker 16: up to twenty three on its own, and then I 1151 01:05:03,775 --> 01:05:05,735 Speaker 16: just before the sun goes down, I pull all the 1152 01:05:05,815 --> 01:05:10,095 Speaker 16: drape and I've got twenty three degrees and with an 1153 01:05:10,095 --> 01:05:15,575 Speaker 16: overnight low five yes, I only lose five degrees overnight, So. 1154 01:05:15,575 --> 01:05:18,615 Speaker 7: It's about eighteen degrees let's say overnight, which is chilly 1155 01:05:18,655 --> 01:05:19,695 Speaker 7: but not uncomfortable. 1156 01:05:19,815 --> 01:05:20,055 Speaker 3: Right. 1157 01:05:21,535 --> 01:05:25,455 Speaker 7: So I guess if you wanted to keep let's say 1158 01:05:25,495 --> 01:05:29,975 Speaker 7: your house at around twenty degrees overnight, then adding the 1159 01:05:30,015 --> 01:05:33,935 Speaker 7: double glazing will be that difference potentially between it dropping 1160 01:05:33,975 --> 01:05:36,895 Speaker 7: down losing heat and dropping down to about eighteen degrees 1161 01:05:37,215 --> 01:05:40,775 Speaker 7: and perhaps being able to maintain nineteen or twenty degrees overnight. 1162 01:05:43,375 --> 01:05:46,255 Speaker 7: It's simply about heat retention in your instance. 1163 01:05:47,735 --> 01:05:51,535 Speaker 16: Now I've got a little chip for cleaning the flue. 1164 01:05:51,775 --> 01:05:55,335 Speaker 16: Would you like to know? Go for it? Okay? So 1165 01:05:56,215 --> 01:06:00,615 Speaker 16: I bought a bush years ago at Minter ten for 1166 01:06:00,695 --> 01:06:04,215 Speaker 16: about thirty six dollars, and then I put it in 1167 01:06:04,255 --> 01:06:09,775 Speaker 16: a piece of fifteen mill, put a little bolt through 1168 01:06:09,815 --> 01:06:13,095 Speaker 16: that through the end of it, and then that's about 1169 01:06:13,135 --> 01:06:17,095 Speaker 16: six hundred long at fifteen mil, and I've got it 1170 01:06:17,135 --> 01:06:22,375 Speaker 16: into twenty five mil piece of alkathine, so I can't fire. 1171 01:06:22,415 --> 01:06:28,935 Speaker 16: I'm talking about pull the bapple out and shove this 1172 01:06:29,135 --> 01:06:32,855 Speaker 16: up and one shove up, one shove back, and one 1173 01:06:32,895 --> 01:06:35,095 Speaker 16: more up and down, and your chimney's clean. 1174 01:06:35,415 --> 01:06:37,655 Speaker 7: So what do you do with the dust that you collect? 1175 01:06:37,695 --> 01:06:39,775 Speaker 7: Do you have a vacuum cleaner on standby and sort 1176 01:06:39,775 --> 01:06:41,455 Speaker 7: of suck that dust out at the same time. 1177 01:06:42,175 --> 01:06:44,295 Speaker 16: I just do it slow, so really you don't get 1178 01:06:44,335 --> 01:06:50,055 Speaker 16: any rights. And then there's a couple of mill of sot, 1179 01:06:51,135 --> 01:06:54,735 Speaker 16: a couple of leaders, well leader and a half depends 1180 01:06:55,295 --> 01:06:58,775 Speaker 16: if you're using your fire like every day. You've got 1181 01:06:58,775 --> 01:07:02,295 Speaker 16: a leader and a half of as an average. 1182 01:07:02,615 --> 01:07:04,575 Speaker 7: So now now that you've mentioned you've got a fire, 1183 01:07:04,655 --> 01:07:08,335 Speaker 7: just quickly, when you warming your house in winter, are 1184 01:07:08,375 --> 01:07:09,375 Speaker 7: you using the fire? 1185 01:07:11,255 --> 01:07:12,975 Speaker 16: Yeah, but that's after the sun goes down. 1186 01:07:13,175 --> 01:07:16,975 Speaker 7: Yes, okay, but then part of your house staying at 1187 01:07:17,095 --> 01:07:19,415 Speaker 7: eighteen twenty degrees is because you've got the fire on 1188 01:07:19,495 --> 01:07:25,095 Speaker 7: as well. No, no, no, no, without the fire yeah, okay. Interesting. 1189 01:07:25,255 --> 01:07:31,895 Speaker 16: Yeah, I've hardly used a fire this winter. Yeah, and yeah, you. 1190 01:07:31,935 --> 01:07:33,935 Speaker 7: Know, I mean the great thing is what you're describing 1191 01:07:34,095 --> 01:07:37,815 Speaker 7: is kind of best practice in the sense that if 1192 01:07:37,815 --> 01:07:40,335 Speaker 7: you've got some drapes and that's why older houses often 1193 01:07:40,375 --> 01:07:43,415 Speaker 7: had drapes and often had pelmets, right, So if you've 1194 01:07:43,455 --> 01:07:46,935 Speaker 7: got some drapes that go from above the window down 1195 01:07:46,975 --> 01:07:49,975 Speaker 7: to the floor ideally, and they actually drape onto the floor, 1196 01:07:50,295 --> 01:07:52,335 Speaker 7: and you've got a palmet at the top which stops 1197 01:07:52,335 --> 01:07:58,015 Speaker 7: air circulating around a little bit, then that's really good practice. So, 1198 01:07:59,575 --> 01:08:02,175 Speaker 7: you know, I suppose part of the challenge is that 1199 01:08:02,735 --> 01:08:04,335 Speaker 7: one of the issues I think that we've got is 1200 01:08:04,335 --> 01:08:06,735 Speaker 7: that not everyone knows how to use their house. If 1201 01:08:06,735 --> 01:08:10,055 Speaker 7: I'm really blunt and so people leave their windows open 1202 01:08:10,175 --> 01:08:12,895 Speaker 7: past that point where it's sort of the inflection between 1203 01:08:12,895 --> 01:08:15,855 Speaker 7: it being warm inside and warm outside, and then they 1204 01:08:15,975 --> 01:08:18,055 Speaker 7: get all of that heat loss and that last part 1205 01:08:18,095 --> 01:08:21,655 Speaker 7: of the day because they they're not active in managing 1206 01:08:21,655 --> 01:08:24,975 Speaker 7: their environment by simply closing the curtains. So at that point, 1207 01:08:25,015 --> 01:08:28,175 Speaker 7: that's where double glazing helps you out. But look, we 1208 01:08:28,215 --> 01:08:31,855 Speaker 7: know the evidence double glazing works. Appreciate you call Kevin, 1209 01:08:31,935 --> 01:08:34,055 Speaker 7: Thank you very very much. At A seven eighty six 1210 01:08:34,095 --> 01:08:36,015 Speaker 7: here at Newstalk set b Bob talk to me. 1211 01:08:37,015 --> 01:08:40,335 Speaker 17: Yes, good Peter Freezing give me some worries. 1212 01:08:41,415 --> 01:08:43,135 Speaker 7: I don't mean to I don't. 1213 01:08:43,695 --> 01:08:47,055 Speaker 17: Oh, I listened to you every day. No, the gentleman 1214 01:08:47,255 --> 01:08:50,295 Speaker 17: built his house in the nineteen eighties. Yes, and see 1215 01:08:50,495 --> 01:08:53,935 Speaker 17: needs it. Put your feet up. My house was completed 1216 01:08:53,935 --> 01:08:57,935 Speaker 17: in nineteen ninety six. Yep, and nothing's changed. I still 1217 01:08:57,935 --> 01:09:01,815 Speaker 17: have an old fellow. Now, I've got the paperwork of 1218 01:09:01,895 --> 01:09:05,575 Speaker 17: what was done and when it was done. But codes 1219 01:09:05,615 --> 01:09:09,815 Speaker 17: of implant Yes, would there have been the builders? I 1220 01:09:09,855 --> 01:09:12,295 Speaker 17: remember people coming around looking at the house. I'm sure 1221 01:09:12,295 --> 01:09:12,775 Speaker 17: they were. 1222 01:09:12,615 --> 01:09:14,695 Speaker 7: The council inspectors. 1223 01:09:15,335 --> 01:09:18,375 Speaker 17: But where would they Would they have given the code 1224 01:09:18,415 --> 01:09:21,015 Speaker 17: of compliance to the builder. Well, I haven't gott it. 1225 01:09:21,415 --> 01:09:24,695 Speaker 17: Would he have been responsible for lodging over them? It's 1226 01:09:24,815 --> 01:09:25,575 Speaker 17: just a question. 1227 01:09:25,815 --> 01:09:30,095 Speaker 7: Yeah. Sure, it depends a little bit on when the 1228 01:09:32,175 --> 01:09:34,695 Speaker 7: Let's say you started building in the nineteen eighties and 1229 01:09:34,735 --> 01:09:38,815 Speaker 7: you didn't finish until nineteen ninety six. What you might 1230 01:09:38,855 --> 01:09:40,895 Speaker 7: find when you go through the paperwork is that you've 1231 01:09:40,935 --> 01:09:46,735 Speaker 7: got a building permit, right, and building permits didn't require 1232 01:09:48,495 --> 01:09:51,815 Speaker 7: a CCC. So in that sense, if you've got a 1233 01:09:51,855 --> 01:09:54,655 Speaker 7: building permit, what. 1234 01:09:54,615 --> 01:09:56,775 Speaker 16: You would we do? 1235 01:09:56,975 --> 01:09:59,975 Speaker 17: This building was built in ninety six, beginning began and 1236 01:10:00,015 --> 01:10:04,215 Speaker 17: beginning in ninety six for ninety six, Yeah, okay. And 1237 01:10:05,255 --> 01:10:08,415 Speaker 17: I'm just wondering should I go to the council and say, look, 1238 01:10:08,455 --> 01:10:10,815 Speaker 17: if I don't tend to sell, ibe iy get taken 1239 01:10:10,815 --> 01:10:13,455 Speaker 17: out of their box because I love it fair enough 1240 01:10:13,975 --> 01:10:17,975 Speaker 17: somebody else's responsibility. And I'm just should I go to 1241 01:10:18,055 --> 01:10:20,855 Speaker 17: the council and say, look, if when I die in 1242 01:10:20,855 --> 01:10:22,735 Speaker 17: my house are sold? Are there any issues? 1243 01:10:24,735 --> 01:10:24,935 Speaker 10: Yeah? 1244 01:10:24,975 --> 01:10:29,175 Speaker 7: I mean look, you could request the property file, yeah, 1245 01:10:29,335 --> 01:10:33,815 Speaker 7: and that will give you an indication of what might 1246 01:10:33,895 --> 01:10:38,815 Speaker 7: be outstanding. Certainly, if the work was undertaken in ninety 1247 01:10:38,855 --> 01:10:40,815 Speaker 7: ninety six, then it would have been a building consent 1248 01:10:40,855 --> 01:10:46,255 Speaker 7: and a building consent should have a CCC. If there 1249 01:10:46,335 --> 01:10:49,255 Speaker 7: is some paper trail that indicates that you had most 1250 01:10:49,335 --> 01:10:53,295 Speaker 7: of the inspections done, that would be helpful if it 1251 01:10:53,895 --> 01:10:56,935 Speaker 7: maybe I think what happens in many many cases is 1252 01:10:56,975 --> 01:10:59,535 Speaker 7: people get to the final inspection. There's a couple of 1253 01:10:59,575 --> 01:11:01,815 Speaker 7: things on the final inspection that they have to do. 1254 01:11:03,175 --> 01:11:05,575 Speaker 7: By that time, everyone's sick of the process and it 1255 01:11:05,655 --> 01:11:08,295 Speaker 7: goes into the raw and nobody thinks about it again. 1256 01:11:08,455 --> 01:11:11,415 Speaker 7: And maybe that's the case, in which case you'll need 1257 01:11:11,455 --> 01:11:14,855 Speaker 7: to redo the final inspection. That can be a bit 1258 01:11:15,055 --> 01:11:17,935 Speaker 7: tricky because there might be new regulations that you have 1259 01:11:17,975 --> 01:11:22,295 Speaker 7: to comply with if you do want to get it 1260 01:11:22,335 --> 01:11:24,855 Speaker 7: sorted out, I think it's the sort of thing that 1261 01:11:24,895 --> 01:11:29,055 Speaker 7: you'd go to again, a building surveyor right. That's not 1262 01:11:29,375 --> 01:11:31,615 Speaker 7: necessarily going to be a cheap process, but it will 1263 01:11:31,655 --> 01:11:33,855 Speaker 7: get you a resolution to this. 1264 01:11:35,535 --> 01:11:36,255 Speaker 17: Property file. 1265 01:11:36,655 --> 01:11:38,935 Speaker 7: Ask for the property file, get someone that you know 1266 01:11:39,935 --> 01:11:41,815 Speaker 7: to review it for you, or you have a look 1267 01:11:41,855 --> 01:11:45,375 Speaker 7: through see what the documentation is. You might find that 1268 01:11:45,455 --> 01:11:48,535 Speaker 7: counsel are actually quite helpful depending on where you are, 1269 01:11:48,935 --> 01:11:52,295 Speaker 7: and they'll be able to tell you what's missing and 1270 01:11:52,335 --> 01:11:54,455 Speaker 7: then you can make a decision as to do. I 1271 01:11:54,535 --> 01:11:57,295 Speaker 7: want to sort this out now, or shall I just 1272 01:11:57,415 --> 01:12:00,215 Speaker 7: leave it and it's somebody else's job later on and. 1273 01:12:00,335 --> 01:12:02,095 Speaker 17: When I'm gone at somebody else's job. 1274 01:12:02,615 --> 01:12:06,615 Speaker 7: You can take both approaches, can't you exactly? Hey, let 1275 01:12:06,695 --> 01:12:08,495 Speaker 7: us know how you get on all the best of you, Bob. 1276 01:12:09,095 --> 01:12:11,055 Speaker 7: You take care see then, oh wait, one hundred and 1277 01:12:11,055 --> 01:12:13,135 Speaker 7: eighty ten eighty taking your calls. A lot of calls 1278 01:12:13,175 --> 01:12:15,695 Speaker 7: around this whole thing around building consents. I've got a 1279 01:12:15,975 --> 01:12:23,415 Speaker 7: truckload of texts around whether or not things like replacing 1280 01:12:23,415 --> 01:12:27,455 Speaker 7: the roof requires a building consent. So here's one exempt example. 1281 01:12:27,495 --> 01:12:31,095 Speaker 7: One the owner replaces an old clay tile roof with 1282 01:12:31,175 --> 01:12:33,415 Speaker 7: a profiled metal roof such as long run or press 1283 01:12:33,415 --> 01:12:38,175 Speaker 7: metal tiles in the same position. Scenario two, the owner 1284 01:12:38,215 --> 01:12:41,495 Speaker 7: replaces twenty year old profile metal roof cladding where that 1285 01:12:41,535 --> 01:12:45,815 Speaker 7: cladding has achieved its Building Code durability requirement I it's 1286 01:12:45,855 --> 01:12:48,815 Speaker 7: lasted more than fifteen years, and the replacement cladding is 1287 01:12:48,895 --> 01:12:51,495 Speaker 7: comparable such as a metal roof. So that's from Bob, 1288 01:12:51,855 --> 01:12:55,695 Speaker 7: so exempt. See I'm not sure which one, Bob you 1289 01:12:55,815 --> 01:12:58,935 Speaker 7: mean is exempt. I would have thought that the swapping 1290 01:12:59,015 --> 01:13:01,735 Speaker 7: from an old clay tile roof with a profiled metal 1291 01:13:01,815 --> 01:13:05,495 Speaker 7: roof would require a consent. The second one twenty year 1292 01:13:05,535 --> 01:13:10,935 Speaker 7: old roof cladding that's last. So this is another requirement 1293 01:13:11,335 --> 01:13:15,375 Speaker 7: if you do work that's repairing or replacing products that 1294 01:13:15,495 --> 01:13:20,135 Speaker 7: should have lasted long than their code requirement. I so 1295 01:13:20,295 --> 01:13:23,095 Speaker 7: metal roofing we expect to last fifteen years. If you 1296 01:13:23,175 --> 01:13:26,455 Speaker 7: replace that roof within ten years because it's failed, that 1297 01:13:26,535 --> 01:13:29,855 Speaker 7: triggers a requirement for building consent if you replace it 1298 01:13:29,935 --> 01:13:32,975 Speaker 7: sixteen years after it was installed or CCC was issued. 1299 01:13:33,015 --> 01:13:35,815 Speaker 7: I suppose then it doesn't. That's exempt. 1300 01:13:35,855 --> 01:13:37,175 Speaker 3: It's like for like. 1301 01:13:37,615 --> 01:13:41,935 Speaker 7: So what is like for like? Pete, you would not 1302 01:13:41,975 --> 01:13:45,015 Speaker 7: make a lawyer. True, you have presumed that the roofing 1303 01:13:45,055 --> 01:13:47,575 Speaker 7: company knew that they needed a building consent and didn't 1304 01:13:47,615 --> 01:13:49,815 Speaker 7: get one. They possibly think they don't need one, and 1305 01:13:49,855 --> 01:13:51,455 Speaker 7: I agree with them. I did the same type of 1306 01:13:51,495 --> 01:13:54,055 Speaker 7: job and Wellington Council only wanted to expect the new 1307 01:13:54,135 --> 01:13:57,335 Speaker 7: roof over the extension. The reroof over the existing house 1308 01:13:57,415 --> 01:13:59,615 Speaker 7: was treated like for like, but they did ask for 1309 01:13:59,615 --> 01:14:02,495 Speaker 7: a photo of the Perlin screws from Bentley. I hear 1310 01:14:02,495 --> 01:14:06,815 Speaker 7: what you're saying, but I think that in terms of 1311 01:14:06,855 --> 01:14:10,335 Speaker 7: the Code of Ethics now for LBPS, we are being 1312 01:14:10,375 --> 01:14:13,935 Speaker 7: held to a higher account. And so if you know 1313 01:14:14,295 --> 01:14:17,095 Speaker 7: as an LBP, as part of your professional development, you're 1314 01:14:17,175 --> 01:14:20,455 Speaker 7: learning that a building consent is required for this type 1315 01:14:20,455 --> 01:14:23,415 Speaker 7: of work. You have a right or a duty to 1316 01:14:23,495 --> 01:14:26,935 Speaker 7: inform the purople that are contracting you to do that work. 1317 01:14:27,295 --> 01:14:29,335 Speaker 7: That's my point. But I hear what you're saying, Bentley, 1318 01:14:29,535 --> 01:14:31,135 Speaker 7: Oh eight one hundred and eighty ten eighty, will take 1319 01:14:31,135 --> 01:14:33,015 Speaker 7: a short break. It is seven forty two. 1320 01:14:33,535 --> 01:14:35,695 Speaker 3: Squeaky door or squeaky floor. 1321 01:14:35,855 --> 01:14:39,295 Speaker 1: Get the right advice from Peter Wolfcare, the resident builder 1322 01:14:39,415 --> 01:14:40,415 Speaker 1: on NEWSTALKSB. 1323 01:14:41,055 --> 01:14:45,455 Speaker 7: Couple of quick texts, Pete, I put retro double glazing 1324 01:14:45,495 --> 01:14:48,455 Speaker 7: through the house three weeks ago. The temperatures up three 1325 01:14:48,495 --> 01:14:51,175 Speaker 7: degrees already from Colleen. So that was off the back 1326 01:14:51,215 --> 01:14:54,575 Speaker 7: of the comments from Kevin about you know what impact 1327 01:14:54,615 --> 01:14:57,095 Speaker 7: the double glazing might have. So thanks for that, Colleen. 1328 01:14:57,175 --> 01:15:01,455 Speaker 7: That's awesome. Hey, Pete, read the reroof job. No one's 1329 01:15:01,495 --> 01:15:04,535 Speaker 7: allowed to start consentable works without a building consent. The 1330 01:15:04,615 --> 01:15:06,935 Speaker 7: roofers should have made the owner of a aware of that, 1331 01:15:07,095 --> 01:15:11,695 Speaker 7: which would have triggered the owner requiring a building consent. 1332 01:15:11,935 --> 01:15:14,255 Speaker 7: Now this is really interesting too. Just on this one 1333 01:15:14,255 --> 01:15:17,695 Speaker 7: as well, Morning Peak. We recently replaced a concrete tile 1334 01:15:17,815 --> 01:15:20,575 Speaker 7: roof with long run color steel or long run iron. 1335 01:15:21,055 --> 01:15:24,255 Speaker 7: We got six quotes. All of them were specifically asked 1336 01:15:24,375 --> 01:15:27,575 Speaker 7: if a building consent was required, and all of them 1337 01:15:27,615 --> 01:15:31,095 Speaker 7: said no, some citing that because they had an LVP 1338 01:15:31,255 --> 01:15:34,775 Speaker 7: running the job, it wasn't required. All perlins were replaced 1339 01:15:34,775 --> 01:15:37,855 Speaker 7: and fixed. Things were done to the roof trusses and 1340 01:15:37,895 --> 01:15:41,495 Speaker 7: to the top of the wallplate chairs. From Nick, I'll 1341 01:15:42,295 --> 01:15:44,455 Speaker 7: go and get a bit of advice on this because 1342 01:15:44,495 --> 01:15:47,815 Speaker 7: I finding this a fascinating discussion about whether or not 1343 01:15:47,855 --> 01:15:51,375 Speaker 7: a building consent is actually required for this type of work. 1344 01:15:51,455 --> 01:15:55,695 Speaker 7: So I've actually due to meet with some council inspectors 1345 01:15:55,775 --> 01:15:57,615 Speaker 7: later on this week, and I will reach out to 1346 01:15:57,615 --> 01:16:01,495 Speaker 7: a couple of building consent specialists as well around that. 1347 01:16:01,575 --> 01:16:04,215 Speaker 7: But thank you very much for that text, Nick, Around 1348 01:16:05,055 --> 01:16:08,255 Speaker 7: six quotes. All of them were specifically asked whether or 1349 01:16:08,295 --> 01:16:11,095 Speaker 7: not a building consent was required, and all of them 1350 01:16:11,135 --> 01:16:14,775 Speaker 7: said no because an lbp's doing the work. I'll just 1351 01:16:14,895 --> 01:16:18,055 Speaker 7: leave it there and well, I'll do some research this week. 1352 01:16:18,135 --> 01:16:21,895 Speaker 7: I promise it is seven forty seven news Dogs'd be 1353 01:16:22,855 --> 01:16:26,375 Speaker 7: joining us this morning, is Nick Shanks from OTC Projects, 1354 01:16:26,375 --> 01:16:30,775 Speaker 7: specializing in commercial, industrial, and large scale residential development and 1355 01:16:30,895 --> 01:16:34,695 Speaker 7: construction based up in the beautiful Green Bay round, Fanada. Now, 1356 01:16:34,815 --> 01:16:37,335 Speaker 7: Chris Maskell, who was chatting with the other day from Duken, 1357 01:16:37,735 --> 01:16:40,175 Speaker 7: tells me that you've used actually a decent amount of 1358 01:16:40,335 --> 01:16:43,455 Speaker 7: triboard to line your latest projects. 1359 01:16:44,615 --> 01:16:46,015 Speaker 15: Yeah, that's that's correct, Pete. 1360 01:16:46,335 --> 01:16:49,295 Speaker 7: Yeah, Now these are large scale developments. So at this 1361 01:16:49,455 --> 01:16:52,895 Speaker 7: way para para drive project, how many square medias do 1362 01:16:52,935 --> 01:16:53,775 Speaker 7: you reckon? You've used? 1363 01:16:55,215 --> 01:16:55,695 Speaker 11: All up? 1364 01:16:55,735 --> 01:16:58,615 Speaker 15: We were we were a tick over four thousand, six 1365 01:16:58,695 --> 01:17:00,015 Speaker 15: hundred square meters. 1366 01:17:00,295 --> 01:17:00,775 Speaker 3: Wow. 1367 01:17:01,495 --> 01:17:03,255 Speaker 15: Yeah, it was a fair It was a fair bit. 1368 01:17:03,335 --> 01:17:06,775 Speaker 15: And please don't ask me the totality of speak, but 1369 01:17:06,815 --> 01:17:08,815 Speaker 15: they couldn't tell you. There's been a fair bit of it. 1370 01:17:09,455 --> 01:17:11,895 Speaker 7: So, I mean, that's that's a lot I'm thinking about, 1371 01:17:11,935 --> 01:17:14,095 Speaker 7: you know, in an average section. But that's okay, that's 1372 01:17:14,135 --> 01:17:17,895 Speaker 7: a lot of tri of the jn L triboard. Hey, 1373 01:17:18,695 --> 01:17:21,215 Speaker 7: In terms of using it as a ligning option, what 1374 01:17:21,415 --> 01:17:22,335 Speaker 7: sparked your interest? 1375 01:17:23,775 --> 01:17:27,735 Speaker 15: Well, I previously have had quite a bit of experience 1376 01:17:27,775 --> 01:17:29,895 Speaker 15: with the product, so I'm very familiar with it, and 1377 01:17:30,535 --> 01:17:36,015 Speaker 15: this particular project called for quite an intense sort of 1378 01:17:36,055 --> 01:17:39,295 Speaker 15: pre construction and developed design phase, and it was one 1379 01:17:39,935 --> 01:17:42,655 Speaker 15: one one was one particular product that jumped into mine 1380 01:17:43,095 --> 01:17:49,095 Speaker 15: and the type of use being essentially fifteen industrial units, 1381 01:17:49,135 --> 01:17:53,375 Speaker 15: commercial units warehouse space is in this building. It seemed 1382 01:17:53,415 --> 01:17:55,535 Speaker 15: like an obvious choice and it was really came down 1383 01:17:55,535 --> 01:18:00,095 Speaker 15: to the durability of the product and the versatility, and 1384 01:17:59,615 --> 01:18:03,535 Speaker 15: it took a lot of boxes and ultimately was a 1385 01:18:03,575 --> 01:18:04,695 Speaker 15: product we chose to go with. 1386 01:18:04,895 --> 01:18:07,375 Speaker 7: Yeah, So in terms of link for the triboard, I'm 1387 01:18:07,375 --> 01:18:10,255 Speaker 7: thinking industrial, you want those slightly longer links. Was that 1388 01:18:10,455 --> 01:18:11,375 Speaker 7: part of the choice. 1389 01:18:11,775 --> 01:18:14,455 Speaker 15: Yeah, Yeah, that's true. For the warehouse space is the 1390 01:18:14,455 --> 01:18:18,695 Speaker 15: full height like walls and tendency walls and those warehouse wars. 1391 01:18:18,735 --> 01:18:20,735 Speaker 15: We went with the three points six by one point 1392 01:18:20,735 --> 01:18:24,455 Speaker 15: two sheet peep for that particular reason, but we also 1393 01:18:24,535 --> 01:18:28,775 Speaker 15: incorporated the three seven forty by four hundred tongue groove 1394 01:18:29,575 --> 01:18:32,695 Speaker 15: plank as well, and that was for the outside of 1395 01:18:32,695 --> 01:18:36,895 Speaker 15: the office to warehouse junction wall, just to still create 1396 01:18:37,055 --> 01:18:40,055 Speaker 15: and maintain that level of versatility and durability, but give 1397 01:18:40,055 --> 01:18:42,855 Speaker 15: it a slightly higher finish and it really worked well. 1398 01:18:43,015 --> 01:18:46,215 Speaker 7: I've used it bosself. It's really smart. So in terms 1399 01:18:46,295 --> 01:18:49,855 Speaker 7: of the installation and comparing to other materials. 1400 01:18:50,015 --> 01:18:54,215 Speaker 15: No dramas, no, no, none whatsoever. Made to be honest, 1401 01:18:54,255 --> 01:18:56,335 Speaker 15: I would say it's comparable with most of the timber 1402 01:18:56,375 --> 01:19:00,775 Speaker 15: sheet products. Yeah, no dramas at all. It's once you get, 1403 01:19:00,935 --> 01:19:03,375 Speaker 15: like anything, once you get that system in place and 1404 01:19:03,415 --> 01:19:05,135 Speaker 15: you put the trust in the skill set of your 1405 01:19:05,135 --> 01:19:08,695 Speaker 15: carpenters into a system and it goes up very efficiently. 1406 01:19:09,055 --> 01:19:11,575 Speaker 7: So in terms of fixing the tribe, what was what 1407 01:19:11,655 --> 01:19:13,055 Speaker 7: was the process that you guys used. 1408 01:19:13,695 --> 01:19:18,495 Speaker 15: Well, we had three different substrates. We actually had some 1409 01:19:18,535 --> 01:19:21,255 Speaker 15: cold form girts which were a part of the primary structure, 1410 01:19:21,575 --> 01:19:25,095 Speaker 15: the superstructure, and then we had one point one five 1411 01:19:25,335 --> 01:19:28,735 Speaker 15: steel gauge or gauge steel stud and we also had 1412 01:19:28,775 --> 01:19:31,135 Speaker 15: timber battons overlaid onto some of the girts. And it 1413 01:19:31,175 --> 01:19:35,735 Speaker 15: was all very specific to each type of each elevation. Sure, again, 1414 01:19:35,895 --> 01:19:38,695 Speaker 15: it's just finding the right type of fixing, which we found. 1415 01:19:39,215 --> 01:19:42,895 Speaker 15: It wasn't a daunting proposition whatsoever. There was multiple options 1416 01:19:43,215 --> 01:19:45,455 Speaker 15: and it ultimately achieved the desired result. 1417 01:19:46,135 --> 01:19:48,815 Speaker 7: And in terms of coating, what what did you opt for? 1418 01:19:49,935 --> 01:19:52,055 Speaker 15: So again we had two we had two types of 1419 01:19:52,055 --> 01:19:57,055 Speaker 15: finishes we went were a polyurethane finish for the warehouse spaces, 1420 01:19:57,135 --> 01:20:00,335 Speaker 15: and just just for the reason that it wasn't going 1421 01:20:00,375 --> 01:20:02,975 Speaker 15: to show up marks as much, it wouldn't scuff as badly, 1422 01:20:03,455 --> 01:20:06,415 Speaker 15: and it actually presented a really high level finish. And 1423 01:20:06,455 --> 01:20:09,375 Speaker 15: then for the tongue and groove on the outside of 1424 01:20:09,415 --> 01:20:12,055 Speaker 15: the offices, we went with a three coat paint system, which, 1425 01:20:12,775 --> 01:20:14,775 Speaker 15: not surprisingly with that in their skin. 1426 01:20:16,375 --> 01:20:18,575 Speaker 7: Comes up really good, doesn't it. 1427 01:20:18,575 --> 01:20:21,815 Speaker 15: It really does make Yes super impressive. Couldn't be happier 1428 01:20:21,815 --> 01:20:23,735 Speaker 15: with it, And there's a few people talking about this project, 1429 01:20:23,735 --> 01:20:25,575 Speaker 15: which is pleasing lovely hate. 1430 01:20:25,575 --> 01:20:30,335 Speaker 7: Now for OTC projects, what's on the horizon, We've. 1431 01:20:30,095 --> 01:20:33,775 Speaker 15: Got a fairly diverse range of project at the moment, Pete. 1432 01:20:34,495 --> 01:20:39,175 Speaker 15: We've got we're doing commercial retail fit outs, design and 1433 01:20:39,215 --> 01:20:43,615 Speaker 15: build on some industrial units, and even hoping to get 1434 01:20:43,615 --> 01:20:45,735 Speaker 15: a couple of slams down on some entry level like 1435 01:20:45,895 --> 01:20:50,775 Speaker 15: picture homes. So yeah, we're trying to remain diverse, and 1436 01:20:50,855 --> 01:20:53,695 Speaker 15: I think that's the strength of ours in this current climate, 1437 01:20:54,655 --> 01:20:58,295 Speaker 15: but equally still focusing on our bread and butter, but 1438 01:20:58,455 --> 01:21:00,895 Speaker 15: just trying to keep our eyes wide open and stay 1439 01:21:00,935 --> 01:21:04,615 Speaker 15: open to any market opportunities. And I'm really happy we 1440 01:21:04,615 --> 01:21:07,295 Speaker 15: were at the moment made and excited about twenty twenty. 1441 01:21:07,015 --> 01:21:10,575 Speaker 7: Six and a little bit of optimism goes a long way. 1442 01:21:10,695 --> 01:21:13,215 Speaker 7: It's it's been tough, but it sounds like you guys 1443 01:21:13,215 --> 01:21:16,335 Speaker 7: are doing great.

I mean, we're all used to working with 1548 01:26:56,735 --> 01:27:00,175 Speaker 7: people watching us, but not necessarily that many people watching you. 1549 01:27:01,775 --> 01:27:06,375 Speaker 8: Yeah, so thankfully after my first mark and cut on 1550 01:27:06,455 --> 01:27:08,455 Speaker 8: the timber, I kind of just had to lock. And 1551 01:27:08,615 --> 01:27:11,775 Speaker 8: then from that point I just didn't even bother looking 1552 01:27:11,855 --> 01:27:15,375 Speaker 8: up until about block when I saw the kids walk 1553 01:27:15,455 --> 01:27:18,375 Speaker 8: in from this so I'll care centers. 1554 01:27:19,375 --> 01:27:22,855 Speaker 7: So a little bit about you, Josh your It seems 1555 01:27:22,895 --> 01:27:26,095 Speaker 7: like the Wye cutto does a particularly good job, because 1556 01:27:26,135 --> 01:27:28,535 Speaker 7: I think last year's Apprentice of the Year winner also 1557 01:27:28,695 --> 01:27:32,375 Speaker 7: came from the White cuttle. What got you into building 1558 01:27:32,415 --> 01:27:33,135 Speaker 7: in the first place. 1559 01:27:34,615 --> 01:27:36,295 Speaker 8: So I was nearing the end of school when I 1560 01:27:36,815 --> 01:27:43,215 Speaker 8: already canceled out university, and I just thought that apprenticeship 1561 01:27:43,215 --> 01:27:45,055 Speaker 8: would be a good idea because I'll be able to 1562 01:27:45,615 --> 01:27:47,215 Speaker 8: earn and learn at the same time. 1563 01:27:48,135 --> 01:27:50,895 Speaker 7: Oh, how fantastic. And that was That's kind of a 1564 01:27:51,015 --> 01:27:53,495 Speaker 7: key driver because I know for lots of people going 1565 01:27:53,575 --> 01:27:57,015 Speaker 7: on to training after school often it's you know, university, 1566 01:27:57,215 --> 01:27:59,575 Speaker 7: it's the possibility of a student loan and that sort 1567 01:27:59,575 --> 01:28:02,095 Speaker 7: of thing. So the thought about training and not having 1568 01:28:02,215 --> 01:28:05,775 Speaker 7: to do that earning as you learn was quite attractive. 1569 01:28:06,615 --> 01:28:07,455 Speaker 8: Yeah, it definitely was. 1570 01:28:07,615 --> 01:28:10,815 Speaker 7: It definitely was.

At the start? 1629 01:30:58,735 --> 01:31:00,975 Speaker 8: I felt like I was falling behind a bit because 1630 01:31:01,615 --> 01:31:04,255 Speaker 8: after the thirty minute kind of grace period at the start, 1631 01:31:05,975 --> 01:31:09,455 Speaker 8: a few of the boys started erecting their frames, and yes, 1632 01:31:09,775 --> 01:31:13,655 Speaker 8: I had prefab my frames on the ground, so it 1633 01:31:13,735 --> 01:31:16,815 Speaker 8: looked like visually I was a little bit before. But 1634 01:31:16,975 --> 01:31:20,535 Speaker 8: then about thirty minutes later, I just erected all my 1635 01:31:20,615 --> 01:31:23,615 Speaker 8: frames at the same time, and I just had a 1636 01:31:23,655 --> 01:31:27,095 Speaker 8: good flow going on. Yes, And to be honest, I 1637 01:31:27,175 --> 01:31:30,215 Speaker 8: couldn't see if I was ahead or not. It could 1638 01:31:30,215 --> 01:31:31,895 Speaker 8: have been anyone's game at that. 1639 01:31:33,895 --> 01:31:36,535 Speaker 7: And because I came along sort of, I got there 1640 01:31:36,575 --> 01:31:39,175 Speaker 7: around two o'clock, so you know, most of the frames 1641 01:31:39,215 --> 01:31:41,135 Speaker 7: were up, but I was looking at that thinking I 1642 01:31:41,255 --> 01:31:43,775 Speaker 7: wonder how many of them took the time, didn't sort 1643 01:31:43,815 --> 01:31:46,815 Speaker 7: of get panicked and start framing up straight away, that 1644 01:31:46,895 --> 01:31:50,655 Speaker 7: you take the time prefab everything and then assemble rather 1645 01:31:50,775 --> 01:31:53,375 Speaker 7: than kind of a different approach, which is I'll build 1646 01:31:53,415 --> 01:31:55,815 Speaker 7: it as I go type thing. So it sounds like 1647 01:31:55,895 --> 01:31:56,935 Speaker 7: you had a strategy. 1648 01:31:57,935 --> 01:32:00,535 Speaker 8: Yeah, definitely, I had a good system going and knowing 1649 01:32:00,575 --> 01:32:03,935 Speaker 8: that most of the frames were mirrored or ideas, I 1650 01:32:04,015 --> 01:32:07,455 Speaker 8: could have just framed up and then laid my timber 1651 01:32:07,535 --> 01:32:08,895 Speaker 8: on top and brilliant. 1652 01:32:08,935 --> 01:32:11,815 Speaker 7: But to get the next one as well, brilliant. Hey, 1653 01:32:11,855 --> 01:32:15,135 Speaker 7: And again, just thinking about you going forward in the trade, 1654 01:32:15,295 --> 01:32:19,175 Speaker 7: is there a particular part of construction that you're interested in? 1655 01:32:19,615 --> 01:32:19,735 Speaker 8: You know? 1656 01:32:19,775 --> 01:32:22,055 Speaker 7: I mean there's there's a lot of talk around high 1657 01:32:22,095 --> 01:32:24,575 Speaker 7: performance homes for example. Is that something you're interested in. 1658 01:32:25,735 --> 01:32:28,055 Speaker 8: I haven't done too much research on passive homes, but 1659 01:32:28,255 --> 01:32:31,535 Speaker 8: that definitely does spark an interest in me. Sure, I 1660 01:32:31,655 --> 01:32:35,615 Speaker 8: do like the thought of residential construction as well. So 1661 01:32:35,815 --> 01:32:39,255 Speaker 8: just doing lots of reno's and alterations as well, it 1662 01:32:39,455 --> 01:32:40,935 Speaker 8: keeps the brain ticking along. 1663 01:32:41,655 --> 01:32:45,295 Speaker 7: Yeah, absolutely, And you're right, it's it is a bit 1664 01:32:45,335 --> 01:32:47,775 Speaker 7: of a balance. You've got to have the technical skills, 1665 01:32:47,855 --> 01:32:51,375 Speaker 7: but increasingly. I think, you know, for young people getting 1666 01:32:51,415 --> 01:32:56,895 Speaker 7: into the trades, there's that competency around legislation, understanding plans, 1667 01:32:57,015 --> 01:33:00,935 Speaker 7: project management, business administration, those sorts of things which I 1668 01:33:00,975 --> 01:33:02,775 Speaker 7: think you need that balance between the two. 1669 01:33:03,535 --> 01:33:05,375 Speaker 8: Yeah, one hundred percent where you have to know about 1670 01:33:05,495 --> 01:33:07,415 Speaker 8: plans to get the construction going. 1671 01:33:07,975 --> 01:33:13,335 Speaker 7: Absolutely. Hey, congratulations, Josh, well done. And I think it's 1672 01:33:13,615 --> 01:33:16,255 Speaker 7: you know, it's something that will stay with you. I 1673 01:33:16,335 --> 01:33:18,295 Speaker 7: think to be able to say, hey, I was Master 1674 01:33:18,335 --> 01:33:21,775 Speaker 7: Builders Apprentice of the Year twenty twenty five is tremendous 1675 01:33:21,855 --> 01:33:24,815 Speaker 7: recognition of the work that you do.

And I know that grumpy old guys 1712 01:35:13,135 --> 01:35:14,815 Speaker 7: like me tend to go I don't know, you know, 1713 01:35:14,935 --> 01:35:17,735 Speaker 7: young fellas today or young people today, the blah blah 1714 01:35:17,815 --> 01:35:20,015 Speaker 7: blah blah blah blah. But you listen to someone like Josh. 1715 01:35:20,455 --> 01:35:22,855 Speaker 7: He's got his act together and he'll be a fantastic 1716 01:35:23,095 --> 01:35:27,255 Speaker 7: tradesman carpenter and that's great for all of us going forward. 1717 01:35:27,375 --> 01:35:30,855 Speaker 7: It is eighteen minutes after eight your news talk SEDB. 1718 01:35:31,455 --> 01:35:34,055 Speaker 1: Doing other house storting the garden asked Pete for a 1719 01:35:34,135 --> 01:35:37,935 Speaker 1: hand the resident builder with Peter wolfkep call eight hundred 1720 01:35:38,215 --> 01:35:40,855 Speaker 1: eighty us talk edby just. 1721 01:35:40,895 --> 01:35:43,015 Speaker 7: Off the back of that conversation with Josh, who was 1722 01:35:43,135 --> 01:35:45,335 Speaker 7: the Apprentice of the Year winner. This is the Master 1723 01:35:45,415 --> 01:35:49,215 Speaker 7: Builders competition.

I taleil 1727 01:36:00,335 --> 01:36:03,015 Speaker 7: now mostly, but honestly, it was one of the best 1728 01:36:03,095 --> 01:36:05,895 Speaker 7: things I did as an apprentice to boost my confidence. 1729 01:36:06,495 --> 01:36:11,055 Speaker 7: Thanks mus for that. It's awesome. The golden trowel oh, 1730 01:36:11,175 --> 01:36:14,535 Speaker 7: you can imagine it. That's awesome, muz, thank you very much. 1731 01:36:15,215 --> 01:36:17,735 Speaker 7: And a couple of other people texting through going gee, 1732 01:36:17,775 --> 01:36:20,975 Speaker 7: what what an awesome young guy, Young Josh is so 1733 01:36:21,455 --> 01:36:23,695 Speaker 7: good on you. Well done. Oh eight one hundred and 1734 01:36:23,735 --> 01:36:27,135 Speaker 7: eighty ten eighty is the number to call Heather, good morning. 1735 01:36:28,135 --> 01:36:30,455 Speaker 11: Oh high peece Hi there Hi. 1736 01:36:30,735 --> 01:36:36,215 Speaker 19: I'm looking at purchasing a brick and tile, very sound property. 1737 01:36:36,455 --> 01:36:39,055 Speaker 19: But in the further terms of sale it says the 1738 01:36:39,135 --> 01:36:42,575 Speaker 19: picture through acknowledge is of the bathroom. Shower was retiled 1739 01:36:43,015 --> 01:36:46,055 Speaker 19: as part of the light for Light renovation carried out 1740 01:36:46,095 --> 01:36:49,375 Speaker 19: by the previous owners. No building Consent Code of compliance 1741 01:36:49,495 --> 01:36:54,895 Speaker 19: was attained, which involved for retiling, which involved retiling and 1742 01:36:55,055 --> 01:36:59,135 Speaker 19: waterproofing in the existing shower location with no change to plumbing, 1743 01:36:59,255 --> 01:37:06,015 Speaker 19: layout or structural elements. I'm sort of just wondering if 1744 01:37:06,295 --> 01:37:09,055 Speaker 19: who I should get to. I'm actually not going to 1745 01:37:09,095 --> 01:37:12,895 Speaker 19: get a builder's report. It's pretty okay, but I'm not 1746 01:37:13,255 --> 01:37:17,015 Speaker 19: hugely worried about it. But if I'm successful at getting it, 1747 01:37:17,855 --> 01:37:20,655 Speaker 19: who should I get to check it? And if there 1748 01:37:20,775 --> 01:37:23,855 Speaker 19: is a problem, is it a major to turn around 1749 01:37:23,895 --> 01:37:24,495 Speaker 19: and retile it. 1750 01:37:26,695 --> 01:37:34,895 Speaker 7: Right again? It's sort of multifaceted the issues there. It's 1751 01:37:34,935 --> 01:37:37,735 Speaker 7: one of those things like, genuinely, I don't want to 1752 01:37:37,775 --> 01:37:39,855 Speaker 7: make things more complicated than they are, but at the 1753 01:37:39,895 --> 01:37:42,335 Speaker 7: same time, these things can be a little bit complicated, 1754 01:37:42,455 --> 01:37:44,975 Speaker 7: and there seems to be a difference of opinion. So 1755 01:37:45,775 --> 01:37:53,055 Speaker 7: how old's the building nineteen seventies, So the tiling work late, Okay, 1756 01:37:53,175 --> 01:37:56,095 Speaker 7: So when it got consented way back, or when it 1757 01:37:56,135 --> 01:37:58,095 Speaker 7: got a building permit way back, it wouldn't have had 1758 01:37:58,135 --> 01:38:03,455 Speaker 7: a tile shower. So the tile shower was done sometime 1759 01:38:03,655 --> 01:38:05,655 Speaker 7: in the last fifteen or twenty years. 1760 01:38:06,375 --> 01:38:09,295 Speaker 8: Yeah, I would say, so, yeah, okay, at. 1761 01:38:09,295 --> 01:38:12,175 Speaker 7: That time it probably should have had a building consent. 1762 01:38:13,215 --> 01:38:15,415 Speaker 7: Now it might not have got one. So the fact 1763 01:38:15,455 --> 01:38:21,295 Speaker 7: that someone has retiled into an existing one doesn't alter 1764 01:38:21,415 --> 01:38:23,375 Speaker 7: the fact that it never got a consent in the 1765 01:38:23,455 --> 01:38:24,055 Speaker 7: first place. 1766 01:38:26,495 --> 01:38:30,255 Speaker 19: Well, what makes you think it could get Well, look, if. 1767 01:38:30,175 --> 01:38:34,335 Speaker 7: It did get a consent, is there in the property 1768 01:38:34,415 --> 01:38:37,375 Speaker 7: file or in the limb. Well, in the limb it 1769 01:38:37,415 --> 01:38:42,135 Speaker 7: should state clearly. You go through and you'll find the 1770 01:38:42,375 --> 01:38:46,735 Speaker 7: building consent for tiles and or or for bathroom alteration, right, 1771 01:38:47,855 --> 01:38:51,575 Speaker 7: And if that's in the limb, then it will also 1772 01:38:51,735 --> 01:38:55,855 Speaker 7: have attached to it. CCC issued or maybe not issued. 1773 01:38:56,255 --> 01:38:58,495 Speaker 7: So if, for example, if you read through the limb 1774 01:38:59,415 --> 01:39:03,495 Speaker 7: and it goes, you know, alterations for a bathroom limb issued, 1775 01:39:03,895 --> 01:39:07,215 Speaker 7: no problem, and I think then it's it's relatively low 1776 01:39:07,375 --> 01:39:11,535 Speaker 7: risk in terms of someone retiling that shower. Other people 1777 01:39:11,615 --> 01:39:16,495 Speaker 7: would probably argue for good reason that redoing the shower, 1778 01:39:16,695 --> 01:39:21,255 Speaker 7: if you did it within fifteen years of the original consent, 1779 01:39:21,655 --> 01:39:24,415 Speaker 7: would indicate that possibly there's been a failure of the 1780 01:39:24,495 --> 01:39:29,095 Speaker 7: waterproofing system, and therefore it can't be considered maintenance. It's 1781 01:39:29,615 --> 01:39:32,895 Speaker 7: new building work to address a failure. So again that's 1782 01:39:33,015 --> 01:39:35,175 Speaker 7: part of that complexity. 1783 01:39:35,295 --> 01:39:39,375 Speaker 19: There can I just say it says no building consent 1784 01:39:39,535 --> 01:39:43,095 Speaker 19: or Code and Science certificate was obtained for the retiling 1785 01:39:43,215 --> 01:39:47,415 Speaker 19: work which involved the retiling and waterproofing and the existing 1786 01:39:47,495 --> 01:39:51,095 Speaker 19: shower location. Yeah, and it was difficult for a like 1787 01:39:52,095 --> 01:39:56,015 Speaker 19: for like renovation because I noticed it, like the bathroom 1788 01:39:56,375 --> 01:39:57,295 Speaker 19: looks renovated. 1789 01:39:57,695 --> 01:39:59,215 Speaker 10: It's all these. 1790 01:39:59,295 --> 01:40:03,335 Speaker 19: Dark brown task but shower is actually black. Right, I've 1791 01:40:03,415 --> 01:40:04,215 Speaker 19: tried to match it. 1792 01:40:06,455 --> 01:40:08,935 Speaker 7: It would be interesting to know whether they tiled over 1793 01:40:09,055 --> 01:40:13,095 Speaker 7: the existing tiles or whether they removed the old tiles 1794 01:40:13,175 --> 01:40:15,495 Speaker 7: to replace it with the black ones that you see 1795 01:40:18,095 --> 01:40:19,575 Speaker 7: and you'd be able to tell that there might be 1796 01:40:19,615 --> 01:40:22,135 Speaker 7: a little step out or something like that, because again, 1797 01:40:22,775 --> 01:40:25,535 Speaker 7: you know, the concern is that when you remove tiles 1798 01:40:26,135 --> 01:40:29,735 Speaker 7: from a waterproof surface, you're going to damage the waterproofing, right, 1799 01:40:29,815 --> 01:40:32,575 Speaker 7: there's no practical way to do that, in which case 1800 01:40:32,655 --> 01:40:36,575 Speaker 7: then you've compromised the waterproofing. So we all want to 1801 01:40:36,615 --> 01:40:40,455 Speaker 7: make sure that the waterproofing works properly, and often the 1802 01:40:40,815 --> 01:40:42,535 Speaker 7: process for that is to ensure that you have a 1803 01:40:42,575 --> 01:40:45,415 Speaker 7: building consent and a building inspection. The inspector looks at it, 1804 01:40:45,535 --> 01:40:49,055 Speaker 7: signs off the waterproofing and says that's up to building code, 1805 01:40:49,335 --> 01:40:51,735 Speaker 7: go ahead and tile. So if you don't have that 1806 01:40:51,935 --> 01:40:54,575 Speaker 7: part of the puzzle, then there's always a question mark. 1807 01:40:55,015 --> 01:40:57,415 Speaker 7: You know, did they just pull the tiles off and 1808 01:40:57,815 --> 01:41:00,575 Speaker 7: whack new tiles on? Do I know that the waterproofing 1809 01:41:00,695 --> 01:41:03,855 Speaker 7: is in good condition? You know what might give you 1810 01:41:03,975 --> 01:41:06,895 Speaker 7: some surety is if the person who did the work 1811 01:41:07,055 --> 01:41:12,615 Speaker 7: issued a producer statement and attached to that information about 1812 01:41:12,655 --> 01:41:15,935 Speaker 7: the waterproofing that they used and some evidence that they 1813 01:41:16,455 --> 01:41:19,175 Speaker 7: did the work in compliance with the building coat. Then 1814 01:41:19,255 --> 01:41:22,055 Speaker 7: you'd feel a bit more sure about that. And also 1815 01:41:22,215 --> 01:41:23,735 Speaker 7: you could use that if you did want to go 1816 01:41:23,815 --> 01:41:26,615 Speaker 7: to council and formalize this and go, here's the evidence 1817 01:41:26,655 --> 01:41:29,175 Speaker 7: that it was done in accordance with the building code. 1818 01:41:30,055 --> 01:41:33,775 Speaker 19: Right, they involved retailing and waterproofing. 1819 01:41:34,695 --> 01:41:37,855 Speaker 7: Yes, What would be interesting is if that work was 1820 01:41:37,975 --> 01:41:41,135 Speaker 7: done and how long ago do you think that that 1821 01:41:41,335 --> 01:41:42,535 Speaker 7: most recent work was done. 1822 01:41:43,535 --> 01:41:45,375 Speaker 19: Yeah, I think these people have had it for. 1823 01:41:46,895 --> 01:41:48,575 Speaker 12: Quite a what seven years or something? 1824 01:41:49,575 --> 01:41:52,895 Speaker 19: Yeah, I'm I'm entirely sure. Actually, but the previous owners, 1825 01:41:52,975 --> 01:41:54,775 Speaker 19: not the people that I'm buying it off. 1826 01:41:55,015 --> 01:41:56,255 Speaker 7: Yeah, sure, yep. 1827 01:41:57,615 --> 01:41:57,815 Speaker 18: Yeah. 1828 01:41:59,375 --> 01:42:02,575 Speaker 7: Again, you know, maybe they've got some information about who 1829 01:42:02,615 --> 01:42:05,935 Speaker 7: did the work, what type of waterproofing. Maybe they even 1830 01:42:05,975 --> 01:42:10,575 Speaker 7: had a photograph of the waterproofing, which would be really 1831 01:42:10,615 --> 01:42:11,215 Speaker 7: really useful. 1832 01:42:12,135 --> 01:42:15,135 Speaker 19: Yes, when you say whether they pulled it off and 1833 01:42:15,255 --> 01:42:17,575 Speaker 19: just retiled of whether they retailed over the top, is 1834 01:42:17,575 --> 01:42:19,655 Speaker 19: it better to actually just retil over the top because 1835 01:42:19,655 --> 01:42:22,575 Speaker 19: then you're not interfering with the waterproofing underneath. 1836 01:42:23,495 --> 01:42:26,855 Speaker 7: That would be one approach, you know, So you go, Actually, 1837 01:42:27,455 --> 01:42:29,975 Speaker 7: the biggest risk is when you're taking the tiles off, 1838 01:42:30,015 --> 01:42:33,815 Speaker 7: you're going to compromise the waterproofing. Now, if you strip 1839 01:42:33,895 --> 01:42:36,175 Speaker 7: all the tiles off and you clean off all of 1840 01:42:36,215 --> 01:42:40,135 Speaker 7: the existing waterproofing and you re waterproof from a clean substrate, 1841 01:42:40,495 --> 01:42:43,815 Speaker 7: you'll get a really good job. But it's possible that 1842 01:42:43,935 --> 01:42:47,215 Speaker 7: someone just pops the tiles off. You know the waterproofing's 1843 01:42:47,215 --> 01:42:49,575 Speaker 7: a bit damaged, Well, it'll be okay, and I'll just 1844 01:42:49,655 --> 01:42:51,815 Speaker 7: tile over the top. Whereas you know, if the old 1845 01:42:51,895 --> 01:42:53,855 Speaker 7: tile stayed there and you put a new layer over 1846 01:42:53,935 --> 01:42:57,055 Speaker 7: the top, as long as the adhesion's good, you know 1847 01:42:57,175 --> 01:42:59,975 Speaker 7: that you haven't compromised the waterproofing. And if the waterproofing 1848 01:43:00,215 --> 01:43:03,255 Speaker 7: isn't the reason for the change. I had a leak 1849 01:43:03,335 --> 01:43:05,335 Speaker 7: and there's water puling on the other side of the wall, 1850 01:43:05,735 --> 01:43:08,255 Speaker 7: then again you can be fairly confident. And then in 1851 01:43:08,335 --> 01:43:12,335 Speaker 7: that sense you would also be quite clear that that 1852 01:43:12,575 --> 01:43:15,735 Speaker 7: work wouldn't require a building consent because you haven't compromised 1853 01:43:15,735 --> 01:43:21,055 Speaker 7: the water preffing. So different approach. But I think given 1854 01:43:21,135 --> 01:43:23,775 Speaker 7: that the work, you know, I'd go back through the 1855 01:43:23,855 --> 01:43:26,975 Speaker 7: agent and go is there any evidence that the work 1856 01:43:27,735 --> 01:43:30,655 Speaker 7: of any evidence that the work was done in accordance 1857 01:43:30,655 --> 01:43:31,415 Speaker 7: with the building code? 1858 01:43:32,695 --> 01:43:32,975 Speaker 12: Okay? 1859 01:43:33,095 --> 01:43:33,855 Speaker 3: And if I wanted to. 1860 01:43:35,935 --> 01:43:38,015 Speaker 19: Do I get a plumber or a moisture. 1861 01:43:39,055 --> 01:43:42,615 Speaker 7: I would probably get a suitably qualified pre purchase inspector 1862 01:43:42,695 --> 01:43:44,535 Speaker 7: to come and do it. And you could do if 1863 01:43:44,575 --> 01:43:47,135 Speaker 7: you can get access to the walls behind the shower, 1864 01:43:47,255 --> 01:43:49,415 Speaker 7: for example, if it's a hallway or a bedroom or 1865 01:43:49,855 --> 01:43:52,255 Speaker 7: laundry or whatever it is, you could do. You could 1866 01:43:52,295 --> 01:43:54,895 Speaker 7: take some moisture readings. Is it onto a concrete slab 1867 01:43:55,095 --> 01:44:02,295 Speaker 7: or onto a timber floors? Okay I'm not sure again, 1868 01:44:02,375 --> 01:44:04,295 Speaker 7: you know, it sort of changes the risk. If it's 1869 01:44:04,415 --> 01:44:06,215 Speaker 7: timber floor, that's great because you can crawl on the 1870 01:44:06,495 --> 01:44:09,055 Speaker 7: floor and lock up and see whether it's leaking. If 1871 01:44:09,135 --> 01:44:11,335 Speaker 7: it's onto a concrete slab, then you really need to 1872 01:44:11,415 --> 01:44:14,615 Speaker 7: do some moisture testing to see what might be happening. 1873 01:44:14,735 --> 01:44:16,855 Speaker 7: So a moisture test probably not a bad idea in 1874 01:44:16,935 --> 01:44:22,175 Speaker 7: that instance. All the very best to you, Heather, take care, 1875 01:44:22,295 --> 01:44:24,855 Speaker 7: nice to chat all of this hate before we jump 1876 01:44:24,895 --> 01:44:28,935 Speaker 7: into the garden again.
