So if there was some 27 00:02:11,895 --> 00:02:15,255 Speaker 6: projects perhaps I always tend to think about long weekends 28 00:02:15,255 --> 00:02:17,655 Speaker 6: as an opportunity, perhaps, you know, maybe to get in 29 00:02:17,735 --> 00:02:20,975 Speaker 6: another little project done with that extra day. So if 30 00:02:21,055 --> 00:02:22,615 Speaker 6: there was something that you had to crack at, maybe 31 00:02:22,655 --> 00:02:26,335 Speaker 6: at King's Birthday weekend, didn't quite get it finished, And 32 00:02:26,455 --> 00:02:30,015 Speaker 6: there's always projects that we don't quite get finished. Perhaps 33 00:02:30,095 --> 00:02:32,935 Speaker 6: this long weekend coming up is going to be the opportunity. 34 00:02:33,015 --> 00:02:34,975 Speaker 6: And if you need to chat about it, talk about it, 35 00:02:35,335 --> 00:02:37,375 Speaker 6: think about a couple of ideas. Check whether or not 36 00:02:37,615 --> 00:02:41,335 Speaker 6: the compliance side of it is correct. It stacks up, 37 00:02:41,575 --> 00:02:44,775 Speaker 6: what sort of work can you do without necessarily requiring 38 00:02:44,815 --> 00:02:47,495 Speaker 6: a building consent? What type of work does require a 39 00:02:47,575 --> 00:02:50,535 Speaker 6: building consent? What type of materials you'd like to use? 40 00:02:50,655 --> 00:02:52,775 Speaker 6: All of these things we can talk about on the show. 41 00:02:53,095 --> 00:02:55,855 Speaker 6: So eight hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number 42 00:02:55,895 --> 00:02:59,415 Speaker 6: to call this morning on the show. Actually no special 43 00:02:59,455 --> 00:03:03,535 Speaker 6: guests coming in, so it's an opportunity to stretch our 44 00:03:03,575 --> 00:03:07,775 Speaker 6: legs talk about everything to do with building alterations, constructions, 45 00:03:07,855 --> 00:03:11,055 Speaker 6: renovations that you would like to talk about. Of course, 46 00:03:11,175 --> 00:03:13,575 Speaker 6: as always, we'll jump into the garden with Red climb 47 00:03:13,615 --> 00:03:17,415 Speaker 6: past at around eight point thirty this morning. But right 48 00:03:17,495 --> 00:03:21,935 Speaker 6: now it's your opportunity to ask questions, discuss, debate, and 49 00:03:22,495 --> 00:03:24,975 Speaker 6: maybe you know, challenge a few assumptions that I might 50 00:03:25,055 --> 00:03:27,975 Speaker 6: have made. I read out that text last week someone 51 00:03:28,055 --> 00:03:31,935 Speaker 6: accusing me of not being forward thinking. Excuse me not 52 00:03:32,055 --> 00:03:37,535 Speaker 6: being forward thinking, not not sort of moving with the times. Oh, 53 00:03:37,535 --> 00:03:40,135 Speaker 6: I'm happy to take those sorts of questions and or 54 00:03:40,295 --> 00:03:44,295 Speaker 6: comments as well. This morning on the program, if I 55 00:03:44,455 --> 00:03:46,935 Speaker 6: bumped into a couple of people I've spent the last 56 00:03:46,975 --> 00:03:51,015 Speaker 6: few days down at field Days Mystery Creek in the 57 00:03:51,095 --> 00:03:56,495 Speaker 6: way Cuto. So went down Friday, came back yesterday. Fantastic 58 00:03:56,535 --> 00:04:00,215 Speaker 6: opportunity sometimes just to sort of, you know, stand around 59 00:04:00,375 --> 00:04:03,055 Speaker 6: chat with people who may listen to the show or 60 00:04:04,135 --> 00:04:06,975 Speaker 6: remember some other stuff that I've done, the classic thing 61 00:04:07,095 --> 00:04:09,055 Speaker 6: or field Days, and it's got to be the classic 62 00:04:09,175 --> 00:04:12,175 Speaker 6: thing just with being in New Zealand in general. So 63 00:04:12,335 --> 00:04:17,735 Speaker 6: I'm standing there a couple of chat with someone and 64 00:04:17,815 --> 00:04:20,535 Speaker 6: a guy or Mark who's a builder, lives on one 65 00:04:20,575 --> 00:04:23,975 Speaker 6: of the islands in the White Matar wanders along. I 66 00:04:24,055 --> 00:04:26,335 Speaker 6: think it was probably two years ago that we bumped 67 00:04:26,375 --> 00:04:28,255 Speaker 6: into each other, had a bit of a chat, and 68 00:04:28,375 --> 00:04:30,775 Speaker 6: as it happens, there is wanders passed. We have a 69 00:04:30,815 --> 00:04:32,975 Speaker 6: bit of a chat and a catch up and talk 70 00:04:33,015 --> 00:04:35,455 Speaker 6: about building and construction. Actually, one of the things that 71 00:04:35,575 --> 00:04:40,615 Speaker 6: he was chatting about is the challenge for some let's 72 00:04:40,655 --> 00:04:44,255 Speaker 6: say older trades people to keep up to date with 73 00:04:44,455 --> 00:04:50,855 Speaker 6: their licensing. So for carpenters essentially and other building related trades, 74 00:04:50,975 --> 00:04:54,055 Speaker 6: you need to register every year as an LBP to 75 00:04:54,175 --> 00:04:57,095 Speaker 6: keep your license current, and then every two years you 76 00:04:57,215 --> 00:05:01,535 Speaker 6: need to prove learning. You need to submit evidence of learning, 77 00:05:01,655 --> 00:05:04,095 Speaker 6: You need to answer a whole lot of questions that 78 00:05:04,255 --> 00:05:07,775 Speaker 6: come out through the Build magazine. You need to do 79 00:05:07,855 --> 00:05:11,295 Speaker 6: all of this online, submit that pay Your money was 80 00:05:11,375 --> 00:05:14,375 Speaker 6: at two hundred and thirty seven dollars thereabouts, I think 81 00:05:15,255 --> 00:05:18,375 Speaker 6: to renew your license and then you can continue on 82 00:05:19,135 --> 00:05:23,615 Speaker 6: being active on the LBP register. And is that too 83 00:05:23,775 --> 00:05:26,895 Speaker 6: much of a hurdle perhaps for older tradees who are 84 00:05:26,935 --> 00:05:29,535 Speaker 6: not as familiar with the digital world. We can talk 85 00:05:29,575 --> 00:05:31,415 Speaker 6: a little bit about that. That might have triggered something 86 00:05:31,455 --> 00:05:33,775 Speaker 6: for you if you're an older trade thinking, oh, I 87 00:05:33,935 --> 00:05:37,135 Speaker 6: just can't be bothered getting through the whole LBP licensing thing. 88 00:05:37,855 --> 00:05:41,015 Speaker 6: Maybe i'll flag it. We don't want to flag it. Actually, 89 00:05:41,055 --> 00:05:44,535 Speaker 6: I got roundly criticized the other week someone I suggested 90 00:05:44,615 --> 00:05:47,695 Speaker 6: that a young person who had finished their apprenticeship and 91 00:05:47,775 --> 00:05:50,815 Speaker 6: had been working as a builder but hadn't qualified or 92 00:05:50,895 --> 00:05:55,015 Speaker 6: hadn't got themselves through the licensing process should do that, 93 00:05:56,335 --> 00:05:58,775 Speaker 6: and someone said, no, that's really bad advice. Don't want 94 00:05:58,775 --> 00:06:01,015 Speaker 6: to get licensed, and why would you encourage someone and 95 00:06:01,375 --> 00:06:03,215 Speaker 6: you don't have to do it. Well, I actually think 96 00:06:03,255 --> 00:06:05,975 Speaker 6: it's part of the game now, it's part of the system. 97 00:06:06,215 --> 00:06:08,535 Speaker 6: You're going to do restricted building work, you need to 98 00:06:08,615 --> 00:06:10,895 Speaker 6: be licensed. And I think we should encourage young trades 99 00:06:10,975 --> 00:06:13,775 Speaker 6: people to get themselves to move from sort of completing 100 00:06:13,815 --> 00:06:18,695 Speaker 6: their apprenticeships into being an LBP as soon as possible 101 00:06:18,735 --> 00:06:20,975 Speaker 6: as my opinion. Happy to discuss that as well. But 102 00:06:21,135 --> 00:06:23,455 Speaker 6: right now, it's your opportunity. What's on your mind? What 103 00:06:23,495 --> 00:06:25,575 Speaker 6: would you like to talk about, what sort of challenges 104 00:06:25,615 --> 00:06:29,855 Speaker 6: perhaps have you encountered, Maybe some new products, some new 105 00:06:29,975 --> 00:06:32,695 Speaker 6: ideas that you want to talk about, you know, is 106 00:06:32,775 --> 00:06:34,855 Speaker 6: it going to work? Have you heard of this before? 107 00:06:34,935 --> 00:06:36,735 Speaker 6: We're happy to talk about all those sorts of things. 108 00:06:36,935 --> 00:06:38,775 Speaker 6: That is one of the beauties of field days as well. 109 00:06:38,855 --> 00:06:42,655 Speaker 6: There's always something there that I hadn't seen before. And 110 00:06:43,335 --> 00:06:46,055 Speaker 6: actually I even wandered off with a couple of drill 111 00:06:46,135 --> 00:06:50,055 Speaker 6: bits that I've never seen before from a store called 112 00:06:50,215 --> 00:06:53,335 Speaker 6: trade Y Republic that has kind of to be but 113 00:06:53,655 --> 00:06:57,255 Speaker 6: it has high end tools for carpentry and construction and 114 00:06:57,615 --> 00:07:01,935 Speaker 6: other related trades. So I bought a set of tapered 115 00:07:02,015 --> 00:07:05,815 Speaker 6: drill bits. I don't think I've ever seen them before, 116 00:07:05,855 --> 00:07:07,615 Speaker 6: but they may a lot of sense in terms of 117 00:07:07,775 --> 00:07:10,895 Speaker 6: pre drilling for screws. Think about that. If you want 118 00:07:10,935 --> 00:07:12,735 Speaker 6: to talk tools, we can do that as well. Eight 119 00:07:12,815 --> 00:07:16,375 Speaker 6: hundred eighty ten eighty. It is thirteen minutes after six. 120 00:07:16,775 --> 00:07:19,015 Speaker 6: You're here with Pete wolf Camp. We're taking your calls. 121 00:07:19,135 --> 00:07:21,775 Speaker 6: It's eight hundred eighty ten eighty. Text is up and 122 00:07:21,855 --> 00:07:25,415 Speaker 6: running as well.

So you're tuned to do the talking. Oh, 125 00:07:30,135 --> 00:07:32,695 Speaker 6: eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to corps. 126 00:07:33,015 --> 00:07:35,495 Speaker 1: Doing of the house storting. The garden asked Pete for 127 00:07:35,575 --> 00:07:39,135 Speaker 1: a hand. The resident builder with Peter Wolfcamp call eight 128 00:07:39,255 --> 00:07:41,455 Speaker 1: hundred eighty ten eighty news talks, V. 129 00:07:42,615 --> 00:07:44,535 Speaker 6: Write own news talks. They'd be let's get amongst it. 130 00:07:44,775 --> 00:07:47,535 Speaker 6: Eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call 131 00:07:49,135 --> 00:07:50,135 Speaker 6: Tony greetings. 132 00:07:51,495 --> 00:07:54,895 Speaker 7: Yeah, good morning peach. During in quest and the introduction 133 00:07:54,975 --> 00:07:59,095 Speaker 7: playbot l lbp's and what I wanted to ask you was, 134 00:07:59,775 --> 00:08:02,295 Speaker 7: what is the difference between if you engage one of 135 00:08:02,415 --> 00:08:05,775 Speaker 7: these qualified people and you had a situation where you know, 136 00:08:06,095 --> 00:08:08,135 Speaker 7: you weren't happy with the job or there was something 137 00:08:08,175 --> 00:08:11,215 Speaker 7: wrong with it. Yes, what comeback do you have with 138 00:08:11,415 --> 00:08:14,975 Speaker 7: these particular qualified people that you may not have or 139 00:08:15,095 --> 00:08:19,135 Speaker 7: somebody who doesn't hold that particular qualification, Like is there 140 00:08:19,175 --> 00:08:22,815 Speaker 7: a fidelity fund where you know, the main governing body 141 00:08:22,935 --> 00:08:25,655 Speaker 7: would come to your assistance. I've been interested in your 142 00:08:25,695 --> 00:08:26,575 Speaker 7: clarification of this. 143 00:08:26,855 --> 00:08:30,535 Speaker 6: Yeah, sure, it's Look, it's a really good question. I 144 00:08:30,575 --> 00:08:33,295 Speaker 6: suppose in the well, what it is ultimately is that 145 00:08:33,695 --> 00:08:38,295 Speaker 6: the Licensed Building Practitioner Scheme is administered by the Ministry 146 00:08:38,335 --> 00:08:41,295 Speaker 6: of Business, Innovation and Employment, right, so it's administered by 147 00:08:41,415 --> 00:08:47,575 Speaker 6: the government. So the if there is a dispute, for example, 148 00:08:47,975 --> 00:08:51,055 Speaker 6: then you can go directly to the Disciplinary Board of 149 00:08:51,215 --> 00:08:55,775 Speaker 6: the Licensed Building Practitioners Scheme and have them investigate the 150 00:08:56,175 --> 00:08:59,855 Speaker 6: actions or the work of the person concerned. Now that 151 00:09:00,095 --> 00:09:05,935 Speaker 6: is effectively the weight of the state on your side, right, 152 00:09:06,095 --> 00:09:11,335 Speaker 6: So I don't think that there is While fines are 153 00:09:11,495 --> 00:09:15,615 Speaker 6: issued to lbps who have found to have breached the 154 00:09:15,735 --> 00:09:18,735 Speaker 6: rules and regulations of the LBP scheme, that money doesn't 155 00:09:18,775 --> 00:09:21,095 Speaker 6: go to the consumer. So in that sense, it's not 156 00:09:21,215 --> 00:09:25,655 Speaker 6: a consumer protection scheme. It's a scheme and it's ys 157 00:09:25,695 --> 00:09:27,255 Speaker 6: since what happened is we've got to go back a 158 00:09:27,295 --> 00:09:30,015 Speaker 6: few years. So there were changes to the Building Act 159 00:09:30,495 --> 00:09:34,015 Speaker 6: and there was a focus on ensuring that critical building 160 00:09:34,135 --> 00:09:37,295 Speaker 6: work was done by people who were had shown to 161 00:09:37,415 --> 00:09:40,175 Speaker 6: be fit for purpose for want of a better term, 162 00:09:41,215 --> 00:09:45,655 Speaker 6: and so once the concept of restricted building work came in. 163 00:09:45,855 --> 00:09:49,535 Speaker 6: So in a nutshell, restricted building work is all building 164 00:09:49,615 --> 00:09:53,455 Speaker 6: work covered by a building consent. So if you need 165 00:09:53,535 --> 00:09:56,295 Speaker 6: to do work that includes a building consent, new builds, 166 00:09:56,295 --> 00:10:00,295 Speaker 6: obviously extensions, significant alterations, et cetera, you need to have 167 00:10:00,375 --> 00:10:03,935 Speaker 6: a building consent. That only people who can either supervise 168 00:10:04,095 --> 00:10:07,935 Speaker 6: or undertake that restricted building work are those people who 169 00:10:07,975 --> 00:10:09,535 Speaker 6: are licensed building practitioners. 170 00:10:10,855 --> 00:10:14,535 Speaker 7: Right, there's no actual fidelity fund or anything like that. Well, 171 00:10:14,575 --> 00:10:17,655 Speaker 7: they don't have a situation where somebody the governing body 172 00:10:17,735 --> 00:10:20,975 Speaker 7: would take over the job or give you assistance to 173 00:10:21,135 --> 00:10:25,615 Speaker 7: resolve the issue of so that the builder just basically disappeared, 174 00:10:25,975 --> 00:10:28,095 Speaker 7: you wouldn't have any comeback with you. You'd have to 175 00:10:28,135 --> 00:10:29,815 Speaker 7: get somebody else to finish the job. 176 00:10:30,135 --> 00:10:30,535 Speaker 8: Is that right? 177 00:10:30,735 --> 00:10:30,935 Speaker 7: Yeah? 178 00:10:31,295 --> 00:10:35,535 Speaker 6: There are other schemes. So there's broadly speaking, in New Zealand, 179 00:10:35,535 --> 00:10:40,975 Speaker 6: there's two other building associations. So there's New Zealand Certified 180 00:10:41,015 --> 00:10:44,095 Speaker 6: Builders in z DCB, and then there's Master Builders. Now 181 00:10:44,815 --> 00:10:51,135 Speaker 6: a contractor has engaged with you and has adopted the 182 00:10:51,215 --> 00:10:54,575 Speaker 6: Master Builders contract or the Certified Builders contract, then you 183 00:10:54,695 --> 00:10:58,455 Speaker 6: can go back to that association. Let's say the builder 184 00:10:58,535 --> 00:11:00,975 Speaker 6: goes under or the builder does a runner or something 185 00:11:01,015 --> 00:11:03,215 Speaker 6: like that, and they happen to be either a member 186 00:11:03,255 --> 00:11:06,215 Speaker 6: of either of those two groups. Then you could appeal 187 00:11:06,375 --> 00:11:09,015 Speaker 6: to that group and say, well, look, hey, you know 188 00:11:09,175 --> 00:11:11,495 Speaker 6: he's he or she is one of your members. You 189 00:11:11,615 --> 00:11:13,295 Speaker 6: need to come and help me to finish the job. 190 00:11:13,695 --> 00:11:17,255 Speaker 6: And then you begin a process with them. But that's 191 00:11:17,375 --> 00:11:19,575 Speaker 6: not part of the License Building Practitioner scheme. 192 00:11:20,175 --> 00:11:24,455 Speaker 7: Okay, so a master builder would have to be an LBP. 193 00:11:24,695 --> 00:11:31,215 Speaker 6: Then I can't say yes to that. 194 00:11:33,615 --> 00:11:35,335 Speaker 7: I'm glad to cleanse your boys. Anyway, I was a 195 00:11:35,375 --> 00:11:35,935 Speaker 7: bit of consumer. 196 00:11:38,695 --> 00:11:44,055 Speaker 6: It's terrible, terrible moodcasting on my pasture. But yeah, I 197 00:11:44,135 --> 00:11:47,895 Speaker 6: mean one of the things actually in amongst a myriad 198 00:11:47,935 --> 00:11:51,495 Speaker 6: of announcements from the new government, we've we've had an 199 00:11:51,535 --> 00:11:54,295 Speaker 6: announcement that there's going to be a tightening up of 200 00:11:54,935 --> 00:11:58,175 Speaker 6: the disciplinary side of that LBP process. At the moment, 201 00:11:58,295 --> 00:12:00,775 Speaker 6: my own feeling is that it takes too long and 202 00:12:00,895 --> 00:12:02,775 Speaker 6: it takes too long for people to get a remedy. 203 00:12:03,295 --> 00:12:06,215 Speaker 6: The other thing that has changed from when the scheme 204 00:12:06,615 --> 00:12:10,895 Speaker 6: was first put in place, so it's been in place 205 00:12:10,975 --> 00:12:13,815 Speaker 6: for a while now. Like for myself, I first got 206 00:12:13,895 --> 00:12:18,335 Speaker 6: registered in about twenty eleven twenty twelve, so I have 207 00:12:18,535 --> 00:12:23,415 Speaker 6: maintained by registration through that period of time. But about 208 00:12:23,535 --> 00:12:27,295 Speaker 6: two years ago they introduced a code of ethics. So 209 00:12:27,575 --> 00:12:30,255 Speaker 6: prior to that, any dispute that you might have had 210 00:12:30,295 --> 00:12:33,895 Speaker 6: with an LBP was going to be around the actual 211 00:12:33,975 --> 00:12:36,735 Speaker 6: work that they did. And my sense is that most 212 00:12:36,775 --> 00:12:39,415 Speaker 6: people when they have a falling out with their builder, 213 00:12:39,895 --> 00:12:43,135 Speaker 6: let's say, it's not often about the maybe the work 214 00:12:43,215 --> 00:12:45,415 Speaker 6: that they've done. It's about the way in which they've 215 00:12:45,495 --> 00:12:48,695 Speaker 6: behaved right, you know, did they tell me it was 216 00:12:48,735 --> 00:12:50,895 Speaker 6: going to be a ten grand job and then send 217 00:12:50,975 --> 00:12:54,655 Speaker 6: me a bill for thirty thousand dollars that sort of thing, Right, So, 218 00:12:55,975 --> 00:12:58,215 Speaker 6: I actually think that the introduction of the Code of 219 00:12:58,255 --> 00:13:03,375 Speaker 6: Ethics is really really good for licensed Billing practitioners. And 220 00:13:03,735 --> 00:13:06,215 Speaker 6: I suspect that most people, if they had a comple 221 00:13:06,575 --> 00:13:09,815 Speaker 6: about their LBP, it would be based on what the 222 00:13:09,975 --> 00:13:13,655 Speaker 6: clear expectations now for us as lbps that set out 223 00:13:14,135 --> 00:13:17,735 Speaker 6: in the Code of Ethics. And certainly whenever I'm sort 224 00:13:17,775 --> 00:13:20,135 Speaker 6: of doing any speaking and with groups and that sort 225 00:13:20,175 --> 00:13:22,615 Speaker 6: of thing, I will say to people, look, before you 226 00:13:22,815 --> 00:13:26,535 Speaker 6: engage with your builder and it's restricted building work that 227 00:13:26,655 --> 00:13:29,095 Speaker 6: needs an LBP, take the time to have a look 228 00:13:29,135 --> 00:13:32,335 Speaker 6: at the Code of Ethics and be aware that now 229 00:13:32,455 --> 00:13:35,575 Speaker 6: there is a clear set of standards around how I, 230 00:13:35,855 --> 00:13:39,695 Speaker 6: as an LBP need to behave professionally when I'm engaging 231 00:13:39,735 --> 00:13:41,415 Speaker 6: with clients. And I think that's really good. 232 00:13:42,775 --> 00:13:46,215 Speaker 7: No, that's fair enough. They would all obviously carry identification 233 00:13:46,775 --> 00:13:49,895 Speaker 7: or certification to show there an LBP when they arrive 234 00:13:49,975 --> 00:13:50,375 Speaker 7: on site. 235 00:13:50,575 --> 00:13:54,655 Speaker 6: Yeah, you can ask. And the entire LBP register is 236 00:13:54,895 --> 00:13:57,735 Speaker 6: online and it's live, so you just go to LBP 237 00:13:57,975 --> 00:14:01,975 Speaker 6: dot gov dot NZ type in somebody's name if the 238 00:14:02,215 --> 00:14:06,015 Speaker 6: name doesn't come up. And the other thing that's important 239 00:14:06,055 --> 00:14:09,655 Speaker 6: to know about the scheme is that it's an individual 240 00:14:09,815 --> 00:14:14,095 Speaker 6: that's licensed. It's not a company, right, So I think 241 00:14:14,135 --> 00:14:18,295 Speaker 6: that's good. And the LBP registered live. If someone has 242 00:14:18,375 --> 00:14:22,815 Speaker 6: had let's say, has been involved with a disciplinary process 243 00:14:23,055 --> 00:14:26,135 Speaker 6: or they've let their license laps for some reason, that 244 00:14:26,295 --> 00:14:28,655 Speaker 6: will stay up. And even if they've resolved that, it 245 00:14:28,735 --> 00:14:31,295 Speaker 6: will still stay on the public register for a period 246 00:14:31,335 --> 00:14:35,335 Speaker 6: of time. To just tell people, hey, you know, maybe 247 00:14:35,375 --> 00:14:38,495 Speaker 6: they haven't always been licensed, and certainly you can notice. 248 00:14:38,895 --> 00:14:42,815 Speaker 6: And all of the disciplinary board stuff is also available online, 249 00:14:42,855 --> 00:14:45,335 Speaker 6: so you can actually go through and read the outcomes 250 00:14:45,375 --> 00:14:47,855 Speaker 6: of all of the disciplinary hearings. So if you've got 251 00:14:47,855 --> 00:14:53,895 Speaker 6: a quiet afternoon, it's quite entertaining reading my pleasure all this. 252 00:14:54,015 --> 00:14:57,375 Speaker 6: To take care your newstalks. That'd be oh, eight hundred 253 00:14:57,375 --> 00:15:03,135 Speaker 6: and eighty ten eighty is the number. I don't know 254 00:15:03,455 --> 00:15:07,455 Speaker 6: others TEGs so one said, I do dribble on too 255 00:15:07,535 --> 00:15:09,495 Speaker 6: much at the intro. It's very off putting. Just get 256 00:15:09,535 --> 00:15:12,575 Speaker 6: on with it. Well, look to be fair. When we 257 00:15:12,655 --> 00:15:15,175 Speaker 6: start the show, I need to talk until the first 258 00:15:15,255 --> 00:15:18,455 Speaker 6: phone call comes through right. So if to be blunt, mate, 259 00:15:18,495 --> 00:15:20,215 Speaker 6: if you got your act together and called through, I 260 00:15:20,255 --> 00:15:22,535 Speaker 6: wouldn't have to talk as long. It's as simple as that. Oh, 261 00:15:22,615 --> 00:15:25,295 Speaker 6: eight hundred eighty ten eighty. If you've got a question 262 00:15:25,375 --> 00:15:27,615 Speaker 6: of building nature, or maybe you've seen some new products, 263 00:15:27,655 --> 00:15:30,615 Speaker 6: some new ideas and some new tools that have come 264 00:15:30,655 --> 00:15:33,775 Speaker 6: along and you've gone, oh, I wonder if that works. Well, 265 00:15:33,815 --> 00:15:35,855 Speaker 6: we can talk about that. Let's take a short break, 266 00:15:35,895 --> 00:15:37,695 Speaker 6: will be back in a moment. Oh eight hundred eighty 267 00:15:37,815 --> 00:15:39,175 Speaker 6: ten eighty is the number to call. 268 00:15:39,455 --> 00:15:42,335 Speaker 1: Whether you're painting, the stealing, fixing with fans, or wondering 269 00:15:42,375 --> 00:15:44,455 Speaker 1: how to fix that hole in the wall. Give Peter 270 00:15:44,535 --> 00:15:48,215 Speaker 1: wolf Gabber call on eight eighty ten eighty, the resident 271 00:15:48,295 --> 00:15:50,255 Speaker 1: builder on Newstalks'. 272 00:15:49,655 --> 00:15:54,535 Speaker 6: B It's just listening to the promo, talking people's opinions 273 00:15:54,535 --> 00:15:55,975 Speaker 6: about field days and that sort of thing. It was 274 00:15:56,095 --> 00:16:00,655 Speaker 6: really interesting being down there. I was down Thursday, Friday, Saturday, 275 00:16:02,055 --> 00:16:04,535 Speaker 6: and I go down. I work with a couple of 276 00:16:04,575 --> 00:16:06,975 Speaker 6: brands that were there, the Apex boots, the Bailey water 277 00:16:07,095 --> 00:16:10,375 Speaker 6: tanks and so on, but also just a general sort 278 00:16:10,375 --> 00:16:13,855 Speaker 6: of conversation with people, and I think there was an 279 00:16:13,895 --> 00:16:16,815 Speaker 6: expectation that that field days was kind of going to 280 00:16:16,895 --> 00:16:18,615 Speaker 6: go like a rocket, right. You know, there's been some 281 00:16:18,775 --> 00:16:22,015 Speaker 6: legisl changes, there's been some tax changes, there's been a 282 00:16:22,095 --> 00:16:27,415 Speaker 6: bit of buoyancy, and in some cases yes, but I 283 00:16:27,575 --> 00:16:31,215 Speaker 6: think while it was positive, it wasn't maybe as positive 284 00:16:31,295 --> 00:16:35,055 Speaker 6: as people were expecting. Was my sense of it not 285 00:16:36,055 --> 00:16:41,135 Speaker 6: being negative Just you know, there's still still a lack 286 00:16:41,215 --> 00:16:43,615 Speaker 6: of fizz in the economy, and there's still a lack 287 00:16:43,695 --> 00:16:48,975 Speaker 6: of confidence. Let's say around you know, do I put 288 00:16:49,015 --> 00:16:50,895 Speaker 6: my hand in my pocket? Do I go Actually I 289 00:16:50,935 --> 00:16:54,095 Speaker 6: had a delightful conversation with one gentleman that I bump into, 290 00:16:54,295 --> 00:16:59,135 Speaker 6: you know, obviously not involved in farming, but involved in 291 00:16:59,575 --> 00:17:02,095 Speaker 6: forestry as it happens, you know, talking about do I 292 00:17:02,215 --> 00:17:04,775 Speaker 6: go out and buy another two hundred and twenty thousand 293 00:17:04,775 --> 00:17:06,855 Speaker 6: dollars tractor? Is now the time to do that? Or 294 00:17:06,935 --> 00:17:09,375 Speaker 6: am I going to wait just a little bit longer 295 00:17:09,735 --> 00:17:11,935 Speaker 6: to see what happens? In that sense of waiting a 296 00:17:11,975 --> 00:17:15,255 Speaker 6: little bit longer seems quite prevalent. Are the companies that 297 00:17:15,615 --> 00:17:18,295 Speaker 6: I had a chat with, you know, they were doing okay. 298 00:17:18,535 --> 00:17:21,495 Speaker 6: They'd come to sell and they'd sold a decent amount 299 00:17:21,495 --> 00:17:27,335 Speaker 6: of stuff. Some had exceptionally good response and others, so 300 00:17:28,095 --> 00:17:30,615 Speaker 6: it was an interesting time. Really enjoy field days if 301 00:17:30,655 --> 00:17:32,735 Speaker 6: you haven't been, or if you're like me and you've 302 00:17:32,735 --> 00:17:36,295 Speaker 6: only come into it later in life, you know, once 303 00:17:36,375 --> 00:17:38,935 Speaker 6: in your life you should go. It really is great fun. 304 00:17:39,335 --> 00:17:43,655 Speaker 6: Cameron greetings, Hi, go for it. 305 00:17:44,975 --> 00:17:45,175 Speaker 9: Yeah. 306 00:17:45,215 --> 00:17:46,535 Speaker 10: Probably a little bit of background. 307 00:17:47,615 --> 00:17:49,215 Speaker 4: I am a. 308 00:17:51,495 --> 00:18:00,855 Speaker 10: Engineer, professionally trained in Member of Engineering, New Zealand. I 309 00:18:01,855 --> 00:18:04,175 Speaker 10: am trying to help, to be honest with my daughter 310 00:18:05,135 --> 00:18:10,055 Speaker 10: with a little bit of a building modification of a 311 00:18:10,215 --> 00:18:17,455 Speaker 10: small residential duplex and she wants to open up a 312 00:18:18,775 --> 00:18:27,055 Speaker 10: kitchen and living area which will require a structural beam 313 00:18:28,215 --> 00:18:34,095 Speaker 10: or probably two structural beams, but they're only going from 314 00:18:35,175 --> 00:18:38,135 Speaker 10: less than two meters to four and a half meters max. 315 00:18:40,615 --> 00:18:47,015 Speaker 10: What I've done is, uh, I've gone to brand Lental 316 00:18:47,095 --> 00:18:53,655 Speaker 10: and beams calculator and there's a whole schedule of beams there. 317 00:18:54,055 --> 00:18:59,975 Speaker 10: What I want a schedule of spanning. What I really 318 00:19:00,015 --> 00:19:08,735 Speaker 10: want to get some clarity on is completing a building 319 00:19:11,415 --> 00:19:20,095 Speaker 10: applications to the council and just using the the building code. 320 00:19:21,135 --> 00:19:27,775 Speaker 10: Is that adequate for a building consent or do I 321 00:19:28,015 --> 00:19:31,495 Speaker 10: need to go to a structural engineer to do what 322 00:19:31,615 --> 00:19:32,535 Speaker 10: I've already done. 323 00:19:33,815 --> 00:19:36,175 Speaker 6: To be honest, Yeah, I hear what you're saying. So 324 00:19:38,175 --> 00:19:41,895 Speaker 6: I suppose if the scope of the beam is outside 325 00:19:41,935 --> 00:19:44,255 Speaker 6: of three six o four, which is New Zealand standards 326 00:19:44,295 --> 00:19:51,535 Speaker 6: for light framed timber construction, then it's not outside of 327 00:19:51,575 --> 00:19:52,375 Speaker 6: three six o four. 328 00:19:53,495 --> 00:19:58,375 Speaker 10: I can get that the brand's lentil And and Beams 329 00:19:58,455 --> 00:20:02,215 Speaker 10: calculator that they've put a block. 330 00:20:02,015 --> 00:20:10,215 Speaker 6: On it, right, because my sense is, so where the 331 00:20:10,295 --> 00:20:14,175 Speaker 6: beam is going just roughly is it supporting the roof 332 00:20:14,255 --> 00:20:17,455 Speaker 6: only or is it supporting another structure or another know, 333 00:20:17,615 --> 00:20:23,255 Speaker 6: another floor above, roof only, roof only, heavyweight roof, lightweight roof. 334 00:20:23,615 --> 00:20:26,735 Speaker 10: Light weight proof seven degrees. I can give you all 335 00:20:26,815 --> 00:20:27,335 Speaker 10: the details. 336 00:20:27,455 --> 00:20:33,775 Speaker 6: Yeah, see, I I mean ultimately it the work will 337 00:20:33,895 --> 00:20:38,135 Speaker 6: require a building consent, right, So in that sense, you're 338 00:20:38,175 --> 00:20:40,975 Speaker 6: going to need to have a someone who's got a 339 00:20:41,055 --> 00:20:44,415 Speaker 6: design license because now this is sort of follows on 340 00:20:44,495 --> 00:20:49,095 Speaker 6: from the conversation with Tony. In order to submit plans 341 00:20:49,175 --> 00:20:52,495 Speaker 6: for building consent, the person has to have a design license. Now, 342 00:20:52,615 --> 00:20:55,415 Speaker 6: if you don't have a design license under the LBP scheme, 343 00:20:55,695 --> 00:20:57,975 Speaker 6: then you won't be able to submit the consent. I 344 00:20:58,015 --> 00:21:01,055 Speaker 6: suppose the beauty of your knowledge is is that you 345 00:21:01,175 --> 00:21:03,855 Speaker 6: can provide a tremendous amount of detail to someone who 346 00:21:03,975 --> 00:21:06,775 Speaker 6: does have that license in order to make their job 347 00:21:07,135 --> 00:21:13,015 Speaker 6: quicker and hopefully more cost effective. Then so it's going 348 00:21:13,055 --> 00:21:14,895 Speaker 6: to need a consent, in which case it's going to 349 00:21:14,975 --> 00:21:17,135 Speaker 6: need to be done by a design engineer. If it's 350 00:21:17,175 --> 00:21:19,895 Speaker 6: outside of the scope of three six o four, then 351 00:21:20,415 --> 00:21:24,135 Speaker 6: that design LBP will need to get a set of 352 00:21:24,495 --> 00:21:29,455 Speaker 6: calculations done by a structural engineer. So if you're engineering 353 00:21:30,255 --> 00:21:32,815 Speaker 6: scope is not in the structural field, then maybe I'm 354 00:21:32,855 --> 00:21:36,095 Speaker 6: not sure if someone who's an engineer in general can 355 00:21:36,135 --> 00:21:41,615 Speaker 6: then do structural engineering. If, for example, you're a mechanical engineer, Yep, 356 00:21:42,135 --> 00:21:46,255 Speaker 6: that's yeah, okay, I mean you could probably do the 357 00:21:46,335 --> 00:21:49,055 Speaker 6: calculations because you guys are familiar with doing all the calcs, right, 358 00:21:49,215 --> 00:21:51,615 Speaker 6: so you might be able to do the calculations. Hand 359 00:21:51,695 --> 00:21:53,815 Speaker 6: that to someone. They'll check it and go, yep, that's 360 00:21:53,855 --> 00:21:56,735 Speaker 6: what's required. It'll it'll come up with a design. Whether 361 00:21:56,775 --> 00:21:59,415 Speaker 6: it's a glue, Yeah, it'll come up with a whether 362 00:21:59,455 --> 00:22:02,775 Speaker 6: it's a glue lamb beam. You know, maybe maybe you 363 00:22:02,855 --> 00:22:04,575 Speaker 6: can do it in timber, but you don't want to 364 00:22:04,855 --> 00:22:07,095 Speaker 6: lose the head height, So timber being might have to 365 00:22:07,175 --> 00:22:09,975 Speaker 6: be let's say, a double three hundred by fifty glue LAMB. 366 00:22:10,295 --> 00:22:11,815 Speaker 6: But in fact you don't want to do that. You 367 00:22:11,895 --> 00:22:13,455 Speaker 6: want it to be a bit more slender, in which 368 00:22:13,495 --> 00:22:15,335 Speaker 6: case someone will come up with a design that goes 369 00:22:15,375 --> 00:22:18,855 Speaker 6: actually a one fifty or a one ninety PFC will 370 00:22:18,895 --> 00:22:21,495 Speaker 6: do it, and then you can make those decisions, submit 371 00:22:21,535 --> 00:22:24,695 Speaker 6: it for a building consent, get the work done, get 372 00:22:24,775 --> 00:22:27,975 Speaker 6: the CCC and job done. But I think that you 373 00:22:28,095 --> 00:22:31,655 Speaker 6: are going to need to get a registered structural engineer 374 00:22:31,775 --> 00:22:32,975 Speaker 6: to prepare those details. 375 00:22:34,375 --> 00:22:41,295 Speaker 10: That's that's what I've asked. Yeah, it seems almost two insignificant. 376 00:22:43,415 --> 00:22:45,655 Speaker 6: Again, you know, it might be one of those things 377 00:22:45,695 --> 00:22:48,975 Speaker 6: that if you if you so, instead of I've had 378 00:22:49,015 --> 00:22:51,175 Speaker 6: a quick look at the brand's calculator and I can 379 00:22:51,255 --> 00:22:53,335 Speaker 6: see what's there, and I can see why they sort 380 00:22:53,375 --> 00:22:55,295 Speaker 6: of block it in a sense. But if you go 381 00:22:55,455 --> 00:22:58,575 Speaker 6: to NZ three six four, and it might be that 382 00:22:58,695 --> 00:23:00,135 Speaker 6: sort of thing that you go, you look at it 383 00:23:00,135 --> 00:23:02,295 Speaker 6: and you go, actually, if I made the opening three 384 00:23:02,375 --> 00:23:05,255 Speaker 6: point eight rather than four point one, I can do 385 00:23:05,335 --> 00:23:07,135 Speaker 6: it under three six o four. And then you go 386 00:23:07,255 --> 00:23:08,935 Speaker 6: back and you go, well, actually, that's a hell of 387 00:23:08,935 --> 00:23:11,135 Speaker 6: a lot simpler, because then I just need my design 388 00:23:11,335 --> 00:23:14,135 Speaker 6: LBP to use three six o four in order to 389 00:23:14,175 --> 00:23:15,855 Speaker 6: come up with a suitable design. 390 00:23:17,055 --> 00:23:17,535 Speaker 5: Is a. 391 00:23:20,815 --> 00:23:27,855 Speaker 10: Builder with an LBP okay is a. 392 00:23:30,335 --> 00:23:35,295 Speaker 6: Design only if they have a specific design license. So 393 00:23:35,415 --> 00:23:39,455 Speaker 6: within the license Building Practitioner scheme there are different license classes, 394 00:23:39,575 --> 00:23:42,935 Speaker 6: so I know that. Yeah. Sorry, so it's got to 395 00:23:42,975 --> 00:23:43,735 Speaker 6: be a design. 396 00:23:43,535 --> 00:23:50,175 Speaker 11: LBP okay, So I do have to go down that route, 397 00:23:50,335 --> 00:23:55,695 Speaker 11: I think, so, yes, yeah, yeah, you've answered the question. 398 00:23:56,095 --> 00:23:59,855 Speaker 6: Awesome, So please I could help camera all the very best. 399 00:23:59,935 --> 00:24:03,935 Speaker 6: You take care. Eight hundred eighty ten eighty the number 400 00:24:03,935 --> 00:24:05,175 Speaker 6: to call Shannon. Greetings to you. 401 00:24:06,535 --> 00:24:10,495 Speaker 12: Good morning, Peter, how are you very well? I'm in 402 00:24:11,055 --> 00:24:15,455 Speaker 12: the nineteen fifty Statehouse and the ceiling as pine x yep. 403 00:24:17,375 --> 00:24:19,295 Speaker 12: So I was there at the time at the fags 404 00:24:19,295 --> 00:24:22,215 Speaker 12: and between the joists and that the. 405 00:24:22,575 --> 00:24:23,295 Speaker 13: Refreshed, you know. 406 00:24:23,455 --> 00:24:24,575 Speaker 12: So I've done the kitchen. 407 00:24:24,815 --> 00:24:25,495 Speaker 14: I used my. 408 00:24:25,615 --> 00:24:29,455 Speaker 12: Finger jointed batons and had to pack them to try 409 00:24:29,495 --> 00:24:31,455 Speaker 12: and get them somewhat flat before I put. 410 00:24:32,015 --> 00:24:32,815 Speaker 14: Plaster board up. 411 00:24:34,815 --> 00:24:37,775 Speaker 6: I'm with you, yes, yes, So I'm. 412 00:24:37,655 --> 00:24:39,335 Speaker 12: Looking at the rest of the house at the moment 413 00:24:40,135 --> 00:24:42,535 Speaker 12: in the lounge room, and I've heard you talk about 414 00:24:42,575 --> 00:24:45,255 Speaker 12: triboard in the past, so I looked up for the 415 00:24:45,415 --> 00:24:48,935 Speaker 12: data sheet. I wonder if it might be a simpler 416 00:24:49,575 --> 00:24:53,975 Speaker 12: solution to the job. Maybe it's more rigid, I'm not sure, but. 417 00:24:55,655 --> 00:24:58,095 Speaker 6: Certainly been more rigid. I'll tell you what I'm thinking 418 00:24:58,295 --> 00:25:00,375 Speaker 6: is that I like when I was at field Days 419 00:25:00,415 --> 00:25:04,815 Speaker 6: yesterday there's ITM have got a shed funnily enough at 420 00:25:04,855 --> 00:25:08,695 Speaker 6: which they have lined with It's a Triboard product, so 421 00:25:08,775 --> 00:25:11,575 Speaker 6: it's a it's called J panel, And what it is 422 00:25:11,695 --> 00:25:15,655 Speaker 6: is it's a Triboard product as a tongue and groove panel. 423 00:25:15,695 --> 00:25:19,055 Speaker 6: So it's four hundred wide, tongue grew fifteen mil thick, 424 00:25:19,415 --> 00:25:21,215 Speaker 6: and you can get it in. I think it's a 425 00:25:21,255 --> 00:25:25,495 Speaker 6: two seven or a three six length. So if for example, 426 00:25:25,575 --> 00:25:29,055 Speaker 6: the room was just slightly just on three six wide, 427 00:25:29,455 --> 00:25:33,095 Speaker 6: you could literally just strap those new J panel to 428 00:25:33,215 --> 00:25:36,695 Speaker 6: the underside of your ceiling. And because it is quite rigid, 429 00:25:36,735 --> 00:25:38,895 Speaker 6: you could just fasten straight through the panel if you 430 00:25:38,975 --> 00:25:41,535 Speaker 6: wanted to, into the batons or into the underside of 431 00:25:41,615 --> 00:25:46,055 Speaker 6: the joists or ceiling joists that are there under the truss, 432 00:25:46,095 --> 00:25:49,095 Speaker 6: straight through the old sagging pine ex board and it 433 00:25:49,135 --> 00:25:53,455 Speaker 6: would self support. It would stiffen up that whole sort 434 00:25:53,495 --> 00:25:57,455 Speaker 6: of sagging ceiling and then give you a nice tongue 435 00:25:57,495 --> 00:25:59,775 Speaker 6: and groove ceiling that you can just paint or yeah, 436 00:25:59,935 --> 00:26:07,055 Speaker 6: just paint it. So J panel. The width on those, 437 00:26:07,495 --> 00:26:10,295 Speaker 6: they're four hundred wide, so they are four hundred wide 438 00:26:10,535 --> 00:26:12,455 Speaker 6: panels with a tongue and groove right, so you get 439 00:26:12,495 --> 00:26:15,335 Speaker 6: a little v groove at the either end. I use 440 00:26:15,455 --> 00:26:17,935 Speaker 6: them on a little cabin a couple of years ago 441 00:26:18,015 --> 00:26:20,815 Speaker 6: where I wanted the back wall and the ceiling to 442 00:26:21,535 --> 00:26:24,175 Speaker 6: have a bit of detail, so I ran it vertically 443 00:26:24,255 --> 00:26:26,375 Speaker 6: up the wall and then across the ceiling with the 444 00:26:26,535 --> 00:26:31,175 Speaker 6: lines lining up. Really easy to install, very very durable. 445 00:26:32,615 --> 00:26:33,335 Speaker 7: Well that's what I thought. 446 00:26:33,335 --> 00:26:35,215 Speaker 12: It might push some of that sagging point X back 447 00:26:35,335 --> 00:26:37,215 Speaker 12: up and it'd be a bit less labor intens for 448 00:26:37,295 --> 00:26:39,335 Speaker 12: trying to get a nice finish. But when I looked 449 00:26:39,335 --> 00:26:42,935 Speaker 12: at the data sheet for that tribboard, yet expansion gaps, 450 00:26:43,335 --> 00:26:45,255 Speaker 12: and I wondered, when people use it, whether it beyond 451 00:26:45,295 --> 00:26:47,855 Speaker 12: wolves or ceilings, can you stop it like you would 452 00:26:47,855 --> 00:26:49,815 Speaker 12: normal plaster board to get a smooth finish. 453 00:26:50,175 --> 00:26:53,295 Speaker 6: You can stop it. Often what people do is because 454 00:26:53,615 --> 00:26:56,175 Speaker 6: the stopping tends to relate to you know other types 455 00:26:56,215 --> 00:26:59,535 Speaker 6: of wall board where you know that the joint is 456 00:26:59,575 --> 00:27:01,975 Speaker 6: designed to be concealed. I actually think to be fair 457 00:27:02,895 --> 00:27:05,095 Speaker 6: if on that data sheet, what you're probably seeing is 458 00:27:05,135 --> 00:27:08,615 Speaker 6: the large triboard panels, right, which if you fix them up, 459 00:27:09,095 --> 00:27:11,575 Speaker 6: you just arrast the edge and leave a fraction of 460 00:27:11,615 --> 00:27:13,015 Speaker 6: a gap. You can fill that with a bit of 461 00:27:13,095 --> 00:27:17,535 Speaker 6: ceilant and just leave it as an exposed detail, because again, 462 00:27:17,655 --> 00:27:21,135 Speaker 6: one of the things worth stopping is often stopping moves 463 00:27:21,135 --> 00:27:23,975 Speaker 6: and then you get cracks, right, so you could use 464 00:27:24,215 --> 00:27:26,375 Speaker 6: that's the other option with the tryboarder is to use 465 00:27:26,455 --> 00:27:31,015 Speaker 6: the big wide panels, So twelve hundred they'd self support. 466 00:27:31,135 --> 00:27:34,335 Speaker 6: You could fix through them, stop those holes, screw holes 467 00:27:34,415 --> 00:27:37,295 Speaker 6: or whatever you're using, and then just leave a little 468 00:27:37,455 --> 00:27:41,695 Speaker 6: express detail on the junctions and then paint the surface. 469 00:27:42,015 --> 00:27:43,975 Speaker 6: But that would be a good option as well, And 470 00:27:44,095 --> 00:27:47,095 Speaker 6: that'll come in a range of lengths and a range 471 00:27:47,295 --> 00:27:51,135 Speaker 6: of thicknesses, but twelve or fifteen mil will probably self 472 00:27:51,215 --> 00:27:52,535 Speaker 6: support over that space. 473 00:27:53,935 --> 00:27:55,455 Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, no, that's cool. 474 00:27:55,735 --> 00:27:57,015 Speaker 6: Yeah, check it out. 475 00:27:58,775 --> 00:28:00,295 Speaker 8: Awesome, all the our best. 476 00:28:00,335 --> 00:28:04,215 Speaker 6: Yeah, take care see then, right, oh eight hundred and 477 00:28:04,215 --> 00:28:06,815 Speaker 6: eighty ten eighty the number to call. Take one more 478 00:28:06,855 --> 00:28:10,535 Speaker 6: call before the break Sandy. Hello there, Hi Pete. How 479 00:28:10,575 --> 00:28:13,895 Speaker 6: are you, Sandy? I'm very well, thank you, it's good. 480 00:28:14,215 --> 00:28:22,815 Speaker 15: Hey, I have homes. I'm wondering what sort of consents 481 00:28:23,015 --> 00:28:25,295 Speaker 15: or what I need to do with regards to putting 482 00:28:25,335 --> 00:28:28,295 Speaker 15: them on a section. The one I'm currently looking at 483 00:28:28,575 --> 00:28:33,815 Speaker 15: is on timber piles in a paddock which is transportable 484 00:28:33,895 --> 00:28:38,255 Speaker 15: to a section which has no convenants, which is great, 485 00:28:39,855 --> 00:28:43,415 Speaker 15: but obviously I need to get piles put in that 486 00:28:43,495 --> 00:28:46,575 Speaker 15: would trigger a building consent? Would that be right? 487 00:28:48,855 --> 00:28:49,015 Speaker 10: All? 488 00:28:49,495 --> 00:28:54,615 Speaker 6: Basically at the moment until legislation changes, Yes, any habitable 489 00:28:54,695 --> 00:29:00,095 Speaker 6: space will require a building consent. So if the building itself, 490 00:29:00,215 --> 00:29:03,935 Speaker 6: the transportable house, is able to you can prove compliance 491 00:29:03,975 --> 00:29:07,175 Speaker 6: with the building code. Then obviously when you you'll want 492 00:29:07,295 --> 00:29:11,255 Speaker 6: to prove that the foundations are also compliant with the 493 00:29:11,295 --> 00:29:11,895 Speaker 6: building code. 494 00:29:12,895 --> 00:29:16,535 Speaker 15: Sure, and then it doesn't come obviously with a CCC 495 00:29:16,695 --> 00:29:20,695 Speaker 15: because none of the services are set up. So in 496 00:29:20,855 --> 00:29:23,055 Speaker 15: the past, if I've built a new house, I've got 497 00:29:23,095 --> 00:29:26,855 Speaker 15: to provide all that information for the CCC. So how 498 00:29:26,895 --> 00:29:30,135 Speaker 15: would I go about obtaining the CCC if I haven't 499 00:29:30,135 --> 00:29:30,815 Speaker 15: built the house. 500 00:29:32,415 --> 00:29:36,775 Speaker 6: I'm just thinking too with this particular transportable or tiny home. 501 00:29:36,935 --> 00:29:40,255 Speaker 15: I presume it is ninety eight square meters. 502 00:29:40,335 --> 00:29:45,575 Speaker 6: Okay, well it's all right, so that where you're locating it, 503 00:29:45,815 --> 00:29:51,655 Speaker 6: that's obviously land that you own. Yes, okay. Why wouldn't 504 00:29:51,695 --> 00:29:53,095 Speaker 6: you get a building consent for it? 505 00:29:54,415 --> 00:29:57,215 Speaker 15: No, well I would, but I'm just wondering what Yeah, definitely, 506 00:29:57,255 --> 00:29:59,095 Speaker 15: I just wanted to know whether it was triggered if 507 00:29:59,135 --> 00:30:02,455 Speaker 15: you are having to put in piles and stuff. 508 00:30:04,095 --> 00:30:06,975 Speaker 6: I don't know if it's necessarily triggered by we might 509 00:30:07,015 --> 00:30:09,335 Speaker 6: be at cross purposes. I don't think it's about the piles. 510 00:30:09,375 --> 00:30:11,215 Speaker 6: I think it's just about the fact that you've moved 511 00:30:11,295 --> 00:30:15,775 Speaker 6: a habitable building onto a new site and that all 512 00:30:15,855 --> 00:30:20,015 Speaker 6: of that building work. The So the building itself that 513 00:30:20,095 --> 00:30:23,975 Speaker 6: you're moving on, do you think that building will comply 514 00:30:24,215 --> 00:30:25,255 Speaker 6: with the building code? 515 00:30:26,175 --> 00:30:26,335 Speaker 16: Yes? 516 00:30:26,775 --> 00:30:29,175 Speaker 6: Okay, So we know that the building is going to 517 00:30:29,175 --> 00:30:31,255 Speaker 6: comply with the building code. So there's it's got the 518 00:30:31,335 --> 00:30:33,775 Speaker 6: right insulation, it's got the right amount of ventilation, et cetera, 519 00:30:33,815 --> 00:30:36,895 Speaker 6: et cetera. You're going to move it on. That part 520 00:30:37,535 --> 00:30:39,695 Speaker 6: requires part of that building consent is going to be 521 00:30:39,735 --> 00:30:42,175 Speaker 6: the foundation. So you need to prove to counsel that 522 00:30:42,255 --> 00:30:45,535 Speaker 6: the foundations are right. Now there are some options around 523 00:30:45,575 --> 00:30:48,575 Speaker 6: foundations now, so conventionally we would dig a hole put 524 00:30:48,575 --> 00:30:52,535 Speaker 6: a timber pile in it. Screw piles have become increasingly 525 00:30:52,815 --> 00:30:57,695 Speaker 6: popular and our code compliant, so that's there are some 526 00:30:57,815 --> 00:31:00,695 Speaker 6: advantages to that in terms of you don't have to 527 00:31:00,735 --> 00:31:03,175 Speaker 6: dig a hole, you don't have to order concrete, et cetera. 528 00:31:03,975 --> 00:31:06,495 Speaker 6: The team will come in, set the piles up or 529 00:31:06,615 --> 00:31:09,055 Speaker 6: set the piles to the in the right location, to 530 00:31:09,175 --> 00:31:12,175 Speaker 6: the right height as per the plans, and then the 531 00:31:12,255 --> 00:31:15,815 Speaker 6: building is simply dropped on top and fastened down. Sure, 532 00:31:16,015 --> 00:31:20,535 Speaker 6: so that's less disruptive arguably, So that'll be part of it. 533 00:31:20,655 --> 00:31:23,255 Speaker 6: And then I guess once the building is located, you'll 534 00:31:23,295 --> 00:31:25,255 Speaker 6: need to connect those services. So you need to prove 535 00:31:25,335 --> 00:31:29,415 Speaker 6: to council that the sewer is being managed properly. If 536 00:31:29,455 --> 00:31:31,735 Speaker 6: you've got presuming you're going to go for tanks for 537 00:31:31,855 --> 00:31:35,055 Speaker 6: water supply or are you going to connect to mainz. 538 00:31:35,495 --> 00:31:37,815 Speaker 15: No, I've got the mains water available. 539 00:31:37,655 --> 00:31:40,735 Speaker 6: Okay, I'm curious. Then will you need to get a 540 00:31:40,815 --> 00:31:42,975 Speaker 6: new meter or are you going to tap into an 541 00:31:42,975 --> 00:31:46,735 Speaker 6: existing source? Okay, so I will need me right, have 542 00:31:46,855 --> 00:31:47,735 Speaker 6: you had that priced? 543 00:31:48,935 --> 00:31:49,695 Speaker 15: I haven't yet. 544 00:31:51,615 --> 00:31:53,975 Speaker 6: Make sure you're sitting down when you open that email, 545 00:31:55,095 --> 00:31:58,735 Speaker 6: particularly if you're in Auckland. As my advice, So, okay, 546 00:31:58,775 --> 00:32:00,015 Speaker 6: so you're going to have to go and apply for 547 00:32:00,055 --> 00:32:02,775 Speaker 6: a new meter. You'll need to run a new services 548 00:32:02,855 --> 00:32:07,695 Speaker 6: where's power coming from a corner of section? Okay, so 549 00:32:07,735 --> 00:32:09,495 Speaker 6: you've got to do all of that and then, as 550 00:32:09,575 --> 00:32:13,575 Speaker 6: per any building consent, once your services are connected, the 551 00:32:13,655 --> 00:32:17,935 Speaker 6: buildings complete, then you get the final inspection and then 552 00:32:18,135 --> 00:32:23,135 Speaker 6: submit all of the documentation for a certificate of code compliance. 553 00:32:24,295 --> 00:32:27,615 Speaker 15: Yep, cool, Okay, it's good what the arek and the 554 00:32:27,695 --> 00:32:32,295 Speaker 15: costs would be with regards to like screw piles, for 555 00:32:32,415 --> 00:32:34,895 Speaker 15: example on a ninety eight screw meet a home. 556 00:32:36,615 --> 00:32:38,415 Speaker 6: To be fair, I've seen them done, but I've never 557 00:32:38,455 --> 00:32:43,255 Speaker 6: actually done the pricing. Have a look at stop digging 558 00:32:44,735 --> 00:32:47,695 Speaker 6: online and they'll they'll either be able to price off 559 00:32:47,735 --> 00:32:49,655 Speaker 6: the plans or they'll send someone out to have a look. 560 00:32:50,575 --> 00:32:50,975 Speaker 16: Perfect. 561 00:32:51,255 --> 00:32:54,495 Speaker 6: Great, Thanks love, nice talking with you, and good luck 562 00:32:54,535 --> 00:32:55,055 Speaker 6: with the project. 563 00:32:55,735 --> 00:32:56,455 Speaker 15: Thank you so much. 564 00:32:56,455 --> 00:32:58,575 Speaker 6: All right, take care and all of us Boby. Then 565 00:32:59,095 --> 00:33:03,335 Speaker 6: your news talks be we're talking all things building construction rules, regulations, 566 00:33:03,935 --> 00:33:07,775 Speaker 6: Who can do what in terms of you know, what 567 00:33:08,655 --> 00:33:12,495 Speaker 6: trades or what qualification or what, well, not even experience. 568 00:33:12,575 --> 00:33:16,815 Speaker 6: It's really just what qualifications are required, what level of 569 00:33:19,095 --> 00:33:21,695 Speaker 6: whether it's LBPS, when you need an engineer, when you 570 00:33:21,735 --> 00:33:24,135 Speaker 6: don't need an engineer, and that sort of thing. The 571 00:33:24,215 --> 00:33:26,815 Speaker 6: other thing, just thinking about Sandy's call just a moment ago. 572 00:33:30,535 --> 00:33:30,735 Speaker 2: More. 573 00:33:31,255 --> 00:33:34,335 Speaker 6: It's always been the responsibility the homeowner to get the CCC. 574 00:33:35,015 --> 00:33:37,375 Speaker 6: So you can get your builder to do it, but 575 00:33:37,495 --> 00:33:39,935 Speaker 6: you have to be really specific in your contract to 576 00:33:40,055 --> 00:33:45,695 Speaker 6: say this is part of your job, because there is 577 00:33:46,055 --> 00:33:48,895 Speaker 6: literally no obligation for the builder once they've finished the 578 00:33:48,975 --> 00:33:53,135 Speaker 6: work to do the CCC part because it involves a 579 00:33:53,135 --> 00:33:55,895 Speaker 6: whole other trades that they might not have been involved with. Anyway, 580 00:33:56,735 --> 00:33:58,535 Speaker 6: you can get people to do it, and I've done 581 00:33:58,535 --> 00:34:01,255 Speaker 6: it for clients on a number of occasions, but ultimate 582 00:34:01,335 --> 00:34:04,455 Speaker 6: responsibility for getting the CCC is on the homeowner. Don't 583 00:34:04,455 --> 00:34:06,575 Speaker 6: forget that, or the developer. If it's a new build. 584 00:34:06,735 --> 00:34:08,375 Speaker 6: Oh eight, one hundred and eighty ten eighty is the 585 00:34:08,455 --> 00:34:10,615 Speaker 6: number to call six forty six here at Newstalks EDB, 586 00:34:11,535 --> 00:34:13,575 Speaker 6: Squeaky door or squeaky floor. 587 00:34:13,815 --> 00:34:17,135 Speaker 1: Get the right advice from Peter Wolfcare, the resident builder 588 00:34:17,375 --> 00:34:19,455 Speaker 1: on News Talks NB just. 589 00:34:19,495 --> 00:34:23,295 Speaker 6: Kind of text in from someone actually regular contributor, and 590 00:34:23,415 --> 00:34:27,095 Speaker 6: I always enjoy the text from Craig Pete. Hey read 591 00:34:27,135 --> 00:34:30,295 Speaker 6: the latest government announcement. If your new house build has solar, 592 00:34:30,335 --> 00:34:33,175 Speaker 6: then councils will be required to process the building consent 593 00:34:33,255 --> 00:34:36,335 Speaker 6: within ten days. I can see this being taken advantage 594 00:34:36,375 --> 00:34:39,815 Speaker 6: of every new build or new build building consent application 595 00:34:39,935 --> 00:34:43,935 Speaker 6: will include solar to half the processing time. Once BC 596 00:34:44,175 --> 00:34:47,815 Speaker 6: is approved, it's very easy to delete the solar. Not 597 00:34:47,895 --> 00:34:50,495 Speaker 6: sure how the government can close the s loophole, Craig, 598 00:34:50,575 --> 00:34:52,935 Speaker 6: thanks for pointing that out. I kind of heard that 599 00:34:53,015 --> 00:34:57,455 Speaker 6: on the news this week. So essentially, folks, the announcement 600 00:34:57,575 --> 00:35:00,895 Speaker 6: this week is that households with solar panels on their 601 00:35:00,975 --> 00:35:02,735 Speaker 6: ruse will be able to send more power back to 602 00:35:02,815 --> 00:35:05,215 Speaker 6: the grid. That's one part of it. Also, if a 603 00:35:05,495 --> 00:35:09,855 Speaker 6: building can sent is submitted with sol showing on the roofs, 604 00:35:10,815 --> 00:35:13,575 Speaker 6: then there is now a requirement that council need to 605 00:35:13,695 --> 00:35:17,455 Speaker 6: process that consent within ten days, down from the standard 606 00:35:17,615 --> 00:35:24,455 Speaker 6: twenty days, which is interesting. Someone's accused me of being negative. 607 00:35:24,495 --> 00:35:26,655 Speaker 6: I don't know if it's negative. It's maybe just realistic 608 00:35:26,815 --> 00:35:28,735 Speaker 6: or just slightly cynical, given that I've got a few 609 00:35:28,775 --> 00:35:31,815 Speaker 6: gray hairs. So I'm just wondering whether in this instance 610 00:35:31,895 --> 00:35:34,495 Speaker 6: what's going to happen is that someone will put solar 611 00:35:34,535 --> 00:35:38,495 Speaker 6: panels on. And that's great before that, but it just 612 00:35:38,615 --> 00:35:41,175 Speaker 6: means that someone who submits a building consent that doesn't 613 00:35:41,175 --> 00:35:43,015 Speaker 6: have panels that goes to the bottom of the queue. 614 00:35:43,175 --> 00:35:46,775 Speaker 6: Let's hope that that doesn't happen. But either way, and 615 00:35:47,215 --> 00:35:51,175 Speaker 6: to your point, Craig read the text, I would think 616 00:35:51,295 --> 00:35:56,015 Speaker 6: that if, for example, your building consent has solar panels showing, 617 00:35:56,575 --> 00:35:59,655 Speaker 6: and then at final inspection the inspector turns up and 618 00:35:59,815 --> 00:36:02,175 Speaker 6: notes that there are no solar panels on the roof, 619 00:36:02,295 --> 00:36:05,335 Speaker 6: then that would be a fail on the final inspection, 620 00:36:05,615 --> 00:36:07,575 Speaker 6: and then you wouldn't get CCC. That would be the 621 00:36:07,615 --> 00:36:12,055 Speaker 6: simplest way of closing that particular loophole. Dennis A very 622 00:36:12,055 --> 00:36:12,495 Speaker 6: good morning. 623 00:36:13,215 --> 00:36:16,215 Speaker 8: Yes, good morning, Pete. Do you know of the product 624 00:36:16,295 --> 00:36:19,095 Speaker 8: called Plantation Bamboo deck. 625 00:36:19,975 --> 00:36:21,815 Speaker 6: Certainly I've heard of it. I haven't used it, but 626 00:36:22,175 --> 00:36:23,695 Speaker 6: i've heard of it, and i've seen it out there. 627 00:36:23,815 --> 00:36:27,295 Speaker 8: Yes, I'm about to put it in quite a large 628 00:36:27,375 --> 00:36:30,495 Speaker 8: death and I've seen the product, and I like to 629 00:36:30,615 --> 00:36:32,535 Speaker 8: look at the product and all that sort of stuff. 630 00:36:33,175 --> 00:36:34,735 Speaker 8: But I was wanting to know if you've had any 631 00:36:34,775 --> 00:36:38,535 Speaker 8: experience or knows anyone who's put it in and how 632 00:36:38,575 --> 00:36:39,055 Speaker 8: it lasts. 633 00:36:41,215 --> 00:36:46,095 Speaker 6: Again, I haven't personally used it. Typically, I've either done 634 00:36:46,215 --> 00:36:50,215 Speaker 6: composites over the last however many years, or solid timber, 635 00:36:50,335 --> 00:36:55,255 Speaker 6: whether that's hardwood or softwood. I guess this is one 636 00:36:55,255 --> 00:37:00,855 Speaker 6: of those things with warranties, right, Like often manufacturers supply 637 00:37:00,895 --> 00:37:04,855 Speaker 6: as a product will talk about, you know, we're issuing 638 00:37:04,895 --> 00:37:08,055 Speaker 6: a ten year warranty for the product. You as the consumer, 639 00:37:08,135 --> 00:37:09,855 Speaker 6: then need to make up your mind as to whether 640 00:37:09,975 --> 00:37:11,615 Speaker 6: or not you feel that that company's going to be 641 00:37:11,695 --> 00:37:15,375 Speaker 6: in business to stand by that warranty in ten years time. 642 00:37:16,615 --> 00:37:18,855 Speaker 6: And that's that's kind of what it comes down to, a. 643 00:37:19,095 --> 00:37:21,215 Speaker 8: You know what I mean, Well, that's they say it's 644 00:37:21,215 --> 00:37:24,535 Speaker 8: sort of a twenty five year warranty on it. Right, 645 00:37:24,615 --> 00:37:26,175 Speaker 8: twenty five years there's. 646 00:37:26,055 --> 00:37:31,455 Speaker 6: Quite a long time or something that's pretty impressive, because well, 647 00:37:32,375 --> 00:37:34,375 Speaker 6: I'm just well, I've just ripped up a deck that 648 00:37:34,655 --> 00:37:38,295 Speaker 6: you know, didn't last that long, and I've certainly replaced 649 00:37:38,295 --> 00:37:41,535 Speaker 6: plenty of decking where you know, fifteen twenty years and 650 00:37:41,655 --> 00:37:43,815 Speaker 6: it's looking at it being at the end of its life. 651 00:37:44,735 --> 00:37:47,095 Speaker 6: Do you know much about it's apart from the fact 652 00:37:47,095 --> 00:37:51,135 Speaker 6: that it's bamboo obviously, how that is then bonded together. 653 00:37:52,975 --> 00:37:55,455 Speaker 8: So what I understand is put together with a resin 654 00:37:56,095 --> 00:38:01,815 Speaker 8: and high pressure right system. But you know, I like 655 00:38:01,935 --> 00:38:05,335 Speaker 8: to look as a product, but I don't want to 656 00:38:05,615 --> 00:38:10,135 Speaker 8: spread forty dollars sure a product and have to replace 657 00:38:10,135 --> 00:38:11,055 Speaker 8: it at six months time. 658 00:38:14,215 --> 00:38:18,975 Speaker 6: Look, I've again my own personal experiences. To the best 659 00:38:19,015 --> 00:38:20,735 Speaker 6: of my knowledge, I don't think I've ever used it 660 00:38:20,935 --> 00:38:25,535 Speaker 6: right now. That's that's not saying that it's not worth investigating. 661 00:38:25,535 --> 00:38:28,055 Speaker 6: It's not saying it's not worth using. I'm happy for 662 00:38:28,175 --> 00:38:30,815 Speaker 6: someone to text me and go, hey, look I've used 663 00:38:30,815 --> 00:38:32,335 Speaker 6: it and I think it's great. Or I've used it 664 00:38:32,415 --> 00:38:33,855 Speaker 6: and yeah maybe not so much. 665 00:38:35,255 --> 00:38:38,855 Speaker 8: Yeah, yep, okay, well I'll keep swigging around. 666 00:38:38,975 --> 00:38:39,135 Speaker 9: Yeah. 667 00:38:39,135 --> 00:38:43,295 Speaker 6: Absolutely, in the sense it is the classic caveat impore 668 00:38:43,655 --> 00:38:46,095 Speaker 6: buyer beware, you can make your own decisions. I've got 669 00:38:46,135 --> 00:38:49,855 Speaker 6: no reason to doubt it, you know, obviously, things like 670 00:38:49,975 --> 00:38:53,575 Speaker 6: that because they're not a critical element of a building 671 00:38:54,135 --> 00:38:58,215 Speaker 6: that probably don't need or require, you know, code mark 672 00:38:58,335 --> 00:39:02,015 Speaker 6: or brand's appraisal or something like that. Because if there 673 00:39:02,095 --> 00:39:03,735 Speaker 6: is a failure, it's relatively low. 674 00:39:03,735 --> 00:39:07,855 Speaker 8: Risk they actually clearing as well. 675 00:39:09,175 --> 00:39:13,895 Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, interesting, Hey, look at the stage you. I 676 00:39:13,975 --> 00:39:19,175 Speaker 6: will leave you to make your own decisions. Do you 677 00:39:19,295 --> 00:39:19,695 Speaker 6: take care? 678 00:39:19,775 --> 00:39:19,975 Speaker 8: Bye? 679 00:39:20,055 --> 00:39:23,215 Speaker 6: Bye bye all of this, Pete, that says a text, 680 00:39:23,255 --> 00:39:25,695 Speaker 6: and no one wants to hear your cynicism, which by 681 00:39:25,735 --> 00:39:28,135 Speaker 6: the way is spelled with a C, not an S. 682 00:39:28,815 --> 00:39:33,375 Speaker 6: It's so negative and boring and unprofessional. Thanks. Oh, eight 683 00:39:33,495 --> 00:39:37,015 Speaker 6: hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call. We 684 00:39:37,215 --> 00:39:40,695 Speaker 6: might just hold Jane, if that's okay, till after the break. 685 00:39:40,735 --> 00:39:43,655 Speaker 6: We're talking bathrooms and so on. Hey, Pete, you don't 686 00:39:43,695 --> 00:39:45,975 Speaker 6: need a building consent for solar only in the case 687 00:39:46,015 --> 00:39:48,095 Speaker 6: of a solar farm, so it's unlikely to hold up 688 00:39:48,095 --> 00:39:51,575 Speaker 6: a CCC. I hear what you're saying. But if you 689 00:39:52,775 --> 00:39:56,175 Speaker 6: got your building consent and use the I'm going to 690 00:39:56,215 --> 00:39:59,255 Speaker 6: get a process faster because I've got solar panels on 691 00:39:59,415 --> 00:40:04,535 Speaker 6: it as per the proposal from the government, then surely 692 00:40:04,935 --> 00:40:07,615 Speaker 6: it would be there on the building consent. And while 693 00:40:07,975 --> 00:40:11,855 Speaker 6: I agree with you, what they're saying is councils. Yeah. 694 00:40:11,975 --> 00:40:14,215 Speaker 6: The government is also stepping in to clarify that a 695 00:40:14,255 --> 00:40:18,175 Speaker 6: building consent was not needed to install rooftop solar panels. 696 00:40:18,455 --> 00:40:20,775 Speaker 6: And that's been a fairly common question. You know, people 697 00:40:20,775 --> 00:40:23,175 Speaker 6: will say, look, I've got an existing building, or I'm 698 00:40:23,215 --> 00:40:24,655 Speaker 6: going to do a new build, and I'm going to 699 00:40:24,695 --> 00:40:28,775 Speaker 6: take the opportunity of wiring because often it's the wiring. 700 00:40:29,455 --> 00:40:33,815 Speaker 6: Putting solar panels on is relatively straightforward. Getting the cabling 701 00:40:34,095 --> 00:40:37,575 Speaker 6: from the roof where the solar panels are down to 702 00:40:37,695 --> 00:40:41,095 Speaker 6: the distribution board can be a little bit challenging in 703 00:40:41,255 --> 00:40:44,015 Speaker 6: existing building, so it's a perfect time to do it 704 00:40:44,175 --> 00:40:46,295 Speaker 6: in a new build because obviously the walls are open, 705 00:40:46,335 --> 00:40:49,415 Speaker 6: you can run all that cabling. I've often suggested to 706 00:40:49,455 --> 00:40:51,775 Speaker 6: people in a new build, even if you don't do 707 00:40:51,975 --> 00:40:55,975 Speaker 6: the solar panels, put the cable in. Put some cables 708 00:40:56,015 --> 00:40:59,255 Speaker 6: in that might allow someone later on to do solar panels. 709 00:40:59,295 --> 00:41:01,975 Speaker 6: Makes it so much easier, So very clear, and our 710 00:41:02,095 --> 00:41:04,175 Speaker 6: government is going to clarify that that you don't need 711 00:41:04,215 --> 00:41:06,855 Speaker 6: a building consent for solar panels. But if you do 712 00:41:06,975 --> 00:41:10,415 Speaker 6: include solar panels in you're on the design for a 713 00:41:10,495 --> 00:41:14,575 Speaker 6: building consent or a house design, then that will be 714 00:41:14,655 --> 00:41:17,655 Speaker 6: process quicker. So I guess the check on that to 715 00:41:17,815 --> 00:41:19,775 Speaker 6: ensure that people aren't brought in the system is at 716 00:41:19,895 --> 00:41:24,175 Speaker 6: final inspection. If you got it process quicker because you 717 00:41:24,215 --> 00:41:26,055 Speaker 6: had panels. We're going to make sure the panels are 718 00:41:26,135 --> 00:41:29,415 Speaker 6: on the roof. But yes, you can see some of 719 00:41:29,455 --> 00:41:30,735 Speaker 6: the challenges and that back. 720 00:41:30,575 --> 00:41:34,735 Speaker 1: After the break, helping you get those DIY projects done right. 721 00:41:34,935 --> 00:41:38,255 Speaker 1: The resident builder with Peta Wolfcamp call, Oh eight hundred 722 00:41:38,335 --> 00:41:40,215 Speaker 1: eighty ten eighty youth talk ZB. 723 00:41:40,895 --> 00:41:43,055 Speaker 6: Well, welcome back to the show.

Just following on from Sandy 731 00:42:03,215 --> 00:42:07,455 Speaker 6: with regard to building consents and cc SO a code 732 00:42:07,495 --> 00:42:12,615 Speaker 6: compliance certificate here we go. Hey, Pete, read the CCC 733 00:42:12,775 --> 00:42:15,695 Speaker 6: after a reno's completed. I've just completed ours via the 734 00:42:15,735 --> 00:42:18,215 Speaker 6: Auckland City Council. Took me a day to get my 735 00:42:18,335 --> 00:42:20,815 Speaker 6: info together, one email to the builder and it was 736 00:42:20,855 --> 00:42:23,455 Speaker 6: granted in two weeks time. Our build was a deck 737 00:42:23,775 --> 00:42:25,655 Speaker 6: and then ripping out a wall to replace it with 738 00:42:25,735 --> 00:42:28,455 Speaker 6: a large sliding door. So let her know it's not 739 00:42:28,615 --> 00:42:32,655 Speaker 6: a horrible process. Cheers from V. Thanks very much for that. Look, 740 00:42:32,695 --> 00:42:34,695 Speaker 6: I would agree with you. It's just you've just got 741 00:42:34,775 --> 00:42:36,735 Speaker 6: to knuckle down and do it. It's not doing your 742 00:42:36,775 --> 00:42:41,815 Speaker 6: tax returns. Basically, CCC's the same you've got to in 743 00:42:41,935 --> 00:42:44,335 Speaker 6: the building consent. When you get your building consent, it 744 00:42:44,375 --> 00:42:47,255 Speaker 6: will actually list at the back of the consent a 745 00:42:47,335 --> 00:42:49,615 Speaker 6: whole lot of sort of requirements in terms of produce 746 00:42:49,615 --> 00:42:52,215 Speaker 6: a statement from a plumber or waterproofer, depending on what 747 00:42:53,095 --> 00:42:56,415 Speaker 6: type of building you're doing. It'll list those consent those conditions. 748 00:42:56,495 --> 00:43:00,255 Speaker 6: So when you note those and then as you're going through, 749 00:43:00,535 --> 00:43:03,895 Speaker 6: make sure you're getting the documentation that you require. And 750 00:43:04,095 --> 00:43:07,095 Speaker 6: then when you go to apply for this CCC, which 751 00:43:07,135 --> 00:43:11,015 Speaker 6: you do online through a portal, you just need to 752 00:43:11,055 --> 00:43:13,575 Speaker 6: make sure that you supply all of that documentation. My 753 00:43:13,735 --> 00:43:17,335 Speaker 6: only criticism that I have of the system at the 754 00:43:17,415 --> 00:43:19,535 Speaker 6: moment is that in the past, when it was a 755 00:43:19,735 --> 00:43:23,575 Speaker 6: paper system, it gave you a checklist, so at the 756 00:43:23,775 --> 00:43:26,975 Speaker 6: end of your build. Most of the ones that I 757 00:43:27,095 --> 00:43:28,975 Speaker 6: was doing it was new builds. At the end of 758 00:43:29,015 --> 00:43:31,455 Speaker 6: the build you'd have kind of a checklist, so it 759 00:43:31,495 --> 00:43:33,975 Speaker 6: would say you need to produce a statement from the plumber, 760 00:43:34,055 --> 00:43:36,695 Speaker 6: you need a roofing warranty, you need a record of works, 761 00:43:36,735 --> 00:43:38,255 Speaker 6: you need da da da da da, and it listed 762 00:43:38,295 --> 00:43:41,015 Speaker 6: them all. When you do it online, it doesn't give 763 00:43:41,055 --> 00:43:44,335 Speaker 6: you a list. It doesn't give you a checklist. And 764 00:43:44,975 --> 00:43:47,575 Speaker 6: for what it's worth, my approach over the last couple 765 00:43:47,615 --> 00:43:50,575 Speaker 6: of years is I will provide everything that I've got 766 00:43:51,095 --> 00:43:53,855 Speaker 6: because there's no checklist. It doesn't say you've completed it 767 00:43:53,975 --> 00:43:56,775 Speaker 6: or you've ticked every box. So I put in all 768 00:43:56,855 --> 00:44:00,255 Speaker 6: of the documentation that I've got and there still might 769 00:44:00,375 --> 00:44:03,775 Speaker 6: be an RIFI. There still might be, you know, a 770 00:44:03,895 --> 00:44:06,895 Speaker 6: request from council for a specific piece of informant to 771 00:44:07,055 --> 00:44:10,015 Speaker 6: just upload and submit and get it through. But the 772 00:44:10,095 --> 00:44:13,815 Speaker 6: processing times I think are mostly reasonable if you've done 773 00:44:13,975 --> 00:44:16,335 Speaker 6: your part as well in terms of the quality of 774 00:44:16,335 --> 00:44:19,535 Speaker 6: the documentation that you're providing. Right, Oh, just on nine 775 00:44:19,575 --> 00:44:21,895 Speaker 6: months after seven, will take your calls. Oh eight hundred 776 00:44:21,895 --> 00:44:24,175 Speaker 6: and eighty ten eighty and Jane, A very. 777 00:44:24,015 --> 00:44:26,495 Speaker 7: Good morning to you, Oh good morning to you. 778 00:44:26,695 --> 00:44:29,335 Speaker 6: And so it's fabulous, my pleasure. 779 00:44:29,895 --> 00:44:31,295 Speaker 4: Help. Now. 780 00:44:31,415 --> 00:44:37,255 Speaker 17: My problem is I'm a bit concerned between two thousand 781 00:44:37,255 --> 00:44:40,535 Speaker 17: and eight and twenty ten my husband and I. My 782 00:44:40,655 --> 00:44:44,295 Speaker 17: husband at that time was developing dementia, but I hadn't 783 00:44:44,455 --> 00:44:49,015 Speaker 17: clicked at that point. We had high pressured leaks in 784 00:44:49,095 --> 00:44:55,535 Speaker 17: the bathrooms and decided between that time to get the 785 00:44:55,615 --> 00:44:59,615 Speaker 17: bathrooms replaced upstairs downstairs, and the kitchen and all the 786 00:44:59,655 --> 00:45:02,775 Speaker 17: plumbing replaced from the black piping to the grave piping. 787 00:45:03,415 --> 00:45:06,095 Speaker 6: Right, So did you have the older ducks quest We 788 00:45:06,135 --> 00:45:06,415 Speaker 6: had the. 789 00:45:06,495 --> 00:45:10,335 Speaker 17: Older black and when it bends, it splits, and that's 790 00:45:10,375 --> 00:45:11,015 Speaker 17: what happened to us. 791 00:45:11,175 --> 00:45:11,335 Speaker 6: Yes. 792 00:45:11,935 --> 00:45:14,655 Speaker 17: Now I have every receipt. 793 00:45:15,695 --> 00:45:16,455 Speaker 8: From that time. 794 00:45:17,615 --> 00:45:21,655 Speaker 17: I can't find any of the C C C or anything. 795 00:45:21,695 --> 00:45:24,055 Speaker 17: And I'm thinking I may one day want to sell. 796 00:45:24,095 --> 00:45:29,895 Speaker 17: My husband has since died from the dementia. If I 797 00:45:30,335 --> 00:45:33,175 Speaker 17: decide to sell this, i'll need a limb report. Now 798 00:45:34,015 --> 00:45:37,335 Speaker 17: I'm thinking of applying for it, just to just out 799 00:45:37,375 --> 00:45:42,335 Speaker 17: of curiosity, to see what has and hasn't been consented. 800 00:45:42,775 --> 00:45:47,495 Speaker 17: How do all I've got are the receipts? What else 801 00:45:47,615 --> 00:45:48,735 Speaker 17: am I supposed to have? 802 00:45:49,735 --> 00:45:53,615 Speaker 6: Okay? My sense is that I don't think you really, 803 00:45:53,695 --> 00:45:55,295 Speaker 6: I don't think you need to worry that the work 804 00:45:55,375 --> 00:46:00,415 Speaker 6: that was done probably well hang on hand, I think so. 805 00:46:00,655 --> 00:46:04,015 Speaker 6: So a couple of things. One is, you know that 806 00:46:04,135 --> 00:46:07,895 Speaker 6: sort of plumbing work, right, it's done by license like. 807 00:46:07,975 --> 00:46:09,215 Speaker 18: For like or not like for like. 808 00:46:09,295 --> 00:46:10,975 Speaker 17: But it's replacing the same. 809 00:46:11,335 --> 00:46:14,135 Speaker 6: Basically the same system, right, so it's water pipes and 810 00:46:14,215 --> 00:46:17,415 Speaker 6: now it's water pipes. So that sort of work can 811 00:46:17,535 --> 00:46:21,415 Speaker 6: be done by hopefully a licensed plumber. They've done the 812 00:46:21,495 --> 00:46:25,535 Speaker 6: work to the building code and it's obviously worked right, 813 00:46:25,615 --> 00:46:29,335 Speaker 6: so you don't have leaks anymore more. So that wouldn't 814 00:46:29,575 --> 00:46:32,055 Speaker 6: I don't believe that would have required a building consent, 815 00:46:32,655 --> 00:46:36,895 Speaker 6: and so then there's no issue. The other thing, though, 816 00:46:37,135 --> 00:46:42,935 Speaker 6: is it would be worth going and requesting a copy 817 00:46:43,015 --> 00:46:46,495 Speaker 6: of the LIMB prior to listing the property, or get 818 00:46:46,575 --> 00:46:47,775 Speaker 6: your agent to do it, if you want to do 819 00:46:47,775 --> 00:46:49,375 Speaker 6: it that way and have a look for it. 820 00:46:49,615 --> 00:46:53,935 Speaker 17: I do, I actually excuse me, so I actually request ALUM. 821 00:46:54,295 --> 00:46:55,415 Speaker 19: So I apply for ALUM. 822 00:46:55,655 --> 00:46:58,055 Speaker 6: You just do it online. You just put in the details, 823 00:46:58,335 --> 00:47:02,015 Speaker 6: your details. I think it costs about seventy dollars or 824 00:47:02,055 --> 00:47:05,655 Speaker 6: something like that, and just request the property file and 825 00:47:05,735 --> 00:47:07,935 Speaker 6: the LIMB should be included in that. Have a look 826 00:47:07,975 --> 00:47:10,895 Speaker 6: through the LIMB, which is a land information memorandum and 827 00:47:11,175 --> 00:47:13,615 Speaker 6: just have a look. A couple of pages in it 828 00:47:13,775 --> 00:47:16,215 Speaker 6: will say it will list all of the building consents. 829 00:47:16,295 --> 00:47:19,015 Speaker 6: It will also list the building permits. So if the 830 00:47:19,175 --> 00:47:22,215 Speaker 6: house was done earlier on, it'll have a building permit. 831 00:47:22,375 --> 00:47:25,015 Speaker 6: They don't have cccs attached to them, so don't worry 832 00:47:25,015 --> 00:47:28,175 Speaker 6: about that. But if it's a building consent, it should 833 00:47:28,215 --> 00:47:30,495 Speaker 6: have a CCC attached to it, so just go back 834 00:47:30,575 --> 00:47:35,015 Speaker 6: and check. And I've said this a couple of times. 835 00:47:35,335 --> 00:47:37,815 Speaker 6: My approach to this has changed a little bit that 836 00:47:37,975 --> 00:47:40,895 Speaker 6: in the past, if a building consent had been issued 837 00:47:40,935 --> 00:47:45,735 Speaker 6: and it didn't have a CCC, sometimes I'd go, oh, well, look, 838 00:47:45,815 --> 00:47:48,455 Speaker 6: we'll just sort that out later on. It can be 839 00:47:49,095 --> 00:47:52,815 Speaker 6: very challenging to sort out getting a CCC for a 840 00:47:52,855 --> 00:47:57,095 Speaker 6: building consent that's dated. So if that was the case, 841 00:47:57,175 --> 00:47:59,255 Speaker 6: if there was work done that had a building consent 842 00:47:59,335 --> 00:48:01,735 Speaker 6: but didn't get a CCC, you'd probably want to get 843 00:48:01,775 --> 00:48:04,255 Speaker 6: some professional advice about what you can do to close 844 00:48:04,335 --> 00:48:09,695 Speaker 6: that out. But I go for that, well, look, chances 845 00:48:09,735 --> 00:48:12,495 Speaker 6: are you know you've got some contacts who are local 846 00:48:12,575 --> 00:48:15,575 Speaker 6: trades people or an experienced, you know, gray haired builder 847 00:48:15,695 --> 00:48:17,255 Speaker 6: who might be able to come around and have a 848 00:48:17,295 --> 00:48:21,535 Speaker 6: look at it. If you need to go for advice. 849 00:48:21,655 --> 00:48:24,255 Speaker 6: Beyond that, then you're probably going to need to engage 850 00:48:24,415 --> 00:48:28,975 Speaker 6: a building server who might be able to come prepare 851 00:48:29,015 --> 00:48:32,855 Speaker 6: the documentation and so on. Counsel have And again I 852 00:48:32,935 --> 00:48:35,575 Speaker 6: don't mean to be overly cautious all that. That's just 853 00:48:35,855 --> 00:48:38,695 Speaker 6: from my own recent experience working for a client where 854 00:48:39,655 --> 00:48:42,335 Speaker 6: we've discovered a building consent that didn't get closed out, 855 00:48:42,415 --> 00:48:44,895 Speaker 6: didn't have a CCC, and I've been involved in the 856 00:48:44,975 --> 00:48:49,735 Speaker 6: process of then getting that closed out. Has been quite 857 00:48:51,415 --> 00:48:53,895 Speaker 6: a lot of time and a reasonable amount of money 858 00:48:53,975 --> 00:48:57,175 Speaker 6: and a lot of professionals involved in proving that the 859 00:48:57,215 --> 00:49:01,255 Speaker 6: building work is compliant with the code. So again, if 860 00:49:01,335 --> 00:49:02,655 Speaker 6: there's but I'm. 861 00:49:02,535 --> 00:49:07,095 Speaker 17: Afraid of yeah, and the oven, the stove, the stove top, 862 00:49:07,175 --> 00:49:10,055 Speaker 17: but the actual oven was moved just beside. 863 00:49:09,695 --> 00:49:13,935 Speaker 6: Where it was, that's fine, doesn't require a consent. So 864 00:49:14,055 --> 00:49:15,935 Speaker 6: the main thing for you, I think is to go 865 00:49:16,095 --> 00:49:18,895 Speaker 6: and request a copy of the limb, have a look 866 00:49:18,935 --> 00:49:22,415 Speaker 6: through that and just see whether there's any building consents 867 00:49:22,495 --> 00:49:25,255 Speaker 6: that don't have a limb attached to them, And then 868 00:49:25,415 --> 00:49:27,855 Speaker 6: that's what I would focus on, And you only have 869 00:49:27,975 --> 00:49:29,975 Speaker 6: to focus on the nature of the work that was 870 00:49:30,055 --> 00:49:36,975 Speaker 6: included in the building consent. It's not the entire building rich, Okay, 871 00:49:37,855 --> 00:49:40,975 Speaker 6: you know possibly, you know, like a reasonably experienced carpenter 872 00:49:41,015 --> 00:49:43,135 Speaker 6: who you might know, friend of a friend sort of thing, 873 00:49:43,415 --> 00:49:45,255 Speaker 6: would be able to help you with that and at 874 00:49:45,335 --> 00:49:47,335 Speaker 6: least be able to read through the documentation and tell 875 00:49:47,375 --> 00:49:48,135 Speaker 6: you what to look for. 876 00:49:49,735 --> 00:49:53,375 Speaker 16: Right, Well, I do, I do have a very good builder. 877 00:49:53,495 --> 00:49:56,575 Speaker 6: Actually, the request the file, print it off, give it 878 00:49:56,655 --> 00:49:58,935 Speaker 6: to them, or forward it to them on an email. 879 00:49:59,255 --> 00:50:00,975 Speaker 6: They'll have a look through and then you can start 880 00:50:01,015 --> 00:50:01,855 Speaker 6: the process from there. 881 00:50:02,735 --> 00:50:04,575 Speaker 17: Okay, thank you, it'll be fine. 882 00:50:04,855 --> 00:50:06,855 Speaker 6: My pleasure. Nice to talk to you all the best 883 00:50:07,215 --> 00:50:12,695 Speaker 6: by by then, one oh LIMB reports cost between two 884 00:50:12,735 --> 00:50:20,575 Speaker 6: hundred and fifty and three hundred bucks. Really, someone just 885 00:50:20,655 --> 00:50:25,775 Speaker 6: texts that through last one that I requested, I think 886 00:50:25,815 --> 00:50:31,215 Speaker 6: it was like seventy six dollars. I might have to 887 00:50:31,295 --> 00:50:33,975 Speaker 6: text real estate agent find out because they're typically the 888 00:50:34,055 --> 00:50:38,735 Speaker 6: ones who are getting them. Wow, I'm happy to take 889 00:50:38,775 --> 00:50:42,455 Speaker 6: texts on that. If you've gone to your local territorial authority, 890 00:50:42,495 --> 00:50:45,215 Speaker 6: your local council and requested a copy of the LIMB 891 00:50:45,255 --> 00:50:50,055 Speaker 6: the land information Memorandum, what did it cost you two 892 00:50:50,135 --> 00:50:51,575 Speaker 6: hundred and fifty to three hundred bucks? 893 00:50:53,535 --> 00:50:53,735 Speaker 4: Cheap. 894 00:50:53,775 --> 00:50:56,855 Speaker 6: It's all about cost recovery, accounting. It is coming up 895 00:50:56,895 --> 00:50:59,135 Speaker 6: sixteen minutes after seven. We'll take short break. We'll be 896 00:50:59,215 --> 00:51:00,255 Speaker 6: back with John in just a moment. 897 00:51:01,815 --> 00:51:05,015 Speaker 1: God was, but maybe call Pete first, feed your wolfcare 898 00:51:05,215 --> 00:51:09,135 Speaker 1: the resident builder News talks, he'd be news talks, he'd. 899 00:51:09,015 --> 00:51:12,615 Speaker 6: Be we're talking all things building and construction. Eight hundred 900 00:51:12,695 --> 00:51:15,855 Speaker 6: eighty ten eighty the number to call. Before the break, 901 00:51:15,935 --> 00:51:22,455 Speaker 6: Dennis was asking about a plantation bamboo that's been recomposed 902 00:51:23,975 --> 00:51:26,375 Speaker 6: into decking boards, which I know is out there and 903 00:51:27,415 --> 00:51:32,135 Speaker 6: I haven't personally had an opportunity to use it. So 904 00:51:32,495 --> 00:51:35,975 Speaker 6: I said, look, if you've used it, hey, let me know. So, Hey, Pete, 905 00:51:35,975 --> 00:51:38,415 Speaker 6: I'm a builder. We've used the bamboo product on a 906 00:51:38,455 --> 00:51:42,535 Speaker 6: couple of projects. It does fade off quickly, which may 907 00:51:42,615 --> 00:51:45,135 Speaker 6: or may not be a bad thing. And because it's 908 00:51:45,295 --> 00:51:47,455 Speaker 6: it all comes and fixed length, you've got to think 909 00:51:47,495 --> 00:51:52,895 Speaker 6: about your joice centers. So that's quite interesting. It's not 910 00:51:53,055 --> 00:51:55,575 Speaker 6: one of the cheapest options. Stone and steel clips which 911 00:51:55,575 --> 00:51:58,535 Speaker 6: are hidden so there's no screws exposed. That's quite nice. 912 00:51:58,575 --> 00:52:01,735 Speaker 6: Thanks from Kerrey. Thank you Kerrey for that comment. Oh 913 00:52:01,775 --> 00:52:04,335 Speaker 6: eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call. 914 00:52:04,495 --> 00:52:09,015 Speaker 6: It's starting to get a couple of who Property file 915 00:52:09,095 --> 00:52:12,535 Speaker 6: service standard seventy five dollars Urgent one hundred and fourteen 916 00:52:13,335 --> 00:52:20,775 Speaker 6: are Parmeister North a limb five hundred and twenty one 917 00:52:20,855 --> 00:52:27,135 Speaker 6: dollars for a limb five hundred and twenty one bucks 918 00:52:27,215 --> 00:52:31,135 Speaker 6: and parmist North crikey. Actually a couple of people have 919 00:52:31,215 --> 00:52:35,135 Speaker 6: said that, Um, yeah, Parmison North five hundred and twenty 920 00:52:35,175 --> 00:52:38,495 Speaker 6: one dollars for a limb, requesting the building file held 921 00:52:38,535 --> 00:52:41,855 Speaker 6: at the Palmised North City Council thirty six dollars. So 922 00:52:42,015 --> 00:52:44,855 Speaker 6: someone else? Property file standard seventy five dollars, URGE one 923 00:52:44,935 --> 00:52:49,855 Speaker 6: hundred and fourteen Commercial one hundred and forty six. So 924 00:52:49,975 --> 00:52:54,735 Speaker 6: would the property file include the limb? Maybe not? Anyway, 925 00:52:54,815 --> 00:52:56,935 Speaker 6: we'll continue to get clarity on that. Oh wait, hundred 926 00:52:57,495 --> 00:52:59,615 Speaker 6: we go, Hey, Peter. The limb and the property file 927 00:52:59,655 --> 00:53:02,295 Speaker 6: are two different things, and hence the request property file 928 00:53:02,415 --> 00:53:04,775 Speaker 6: is less than one hundred dollars, depending on if it's 929 00:53:04,815 --> 00:53:07,495 Speaker 6: a standard request or an URGE one. The limb is 930 00:53:07,575 --> 00:53:10,255 Speaker 6: indeed almost three hundred dollars for a standard request. It's 931 00:53:10,295 --> 00:53:13,415 Speaker 6: more expensive since it takes time to assemble. Also, sure 932 00:53:13,455 --> 00:53:16,455 Speaker 6: that the building consent information is in the property file, 933 00:53:16,575 --> 00:53:21,215 Speaker 6: not in the limb. Sean, I'd probably disagree with you 934 00:53:21,335 --> 00:53:24,695 Speaker 6: on that. And all of the ones that I've read recently, 935 00:53:24,735 --> 00:53:27,015 Speaker 6: and it's probably a handful of them, probably five or 936 00:53:27,055 --> 00:53:29,975 Speaker 6: six in the last couple of weeks, when we've requested 937 00:53:30,015 --> 00:53:33,615 Speaker 6: the limb, the building consent information is included, and that's 938 00:53:33,615 --> 00:53:36,655 Speaker 6: a building and resource consents typically are included in the 939 00:53:36,815 --> 00:53:40,495 Speaker 6: limbs that I've read. But thanks for that, John, much appreciated. 940 00:53:40,855 --> 00:53:43,855 Speaker 6: And from John Texter to John Caller, Good. 941 00:53:43,735 --> 00:53:46,895 Speaker 18: Morning, John, Yes, good morning for the lady that she 942 00:53:47,375 --> 00:53:50,775 Speaker 18: did all the plumbing.

So that was due. 959 00:54:29,895 --> 00:54:32,415 Speaker 18: There was an extra, but I didn't mind anyhow. But 960 00:54:32,575 --> 00:54:33,935 Speaker 18: what I said to him, I said, what I want 961 00:54:34,015 --> 00:54:37,495 Speaker 18: you to do for me is I demise what you did, 962 00:54:37,615 --> 00:54:40,975 Speaker 18: so not that the ideomises for me, please, and then 963 00:54:41,015 --> 00:54:43,095 Speaker 18: I'll pay him.

I paid him, and I did 965 00:54:45,615 --> 00:54:48,895 Speaker 18: the same as the plumber, and every bill I had 966 00:54:48,935 --> 00:54:53,135 Speaker 18: with the plumber asking for a seat or he emailed 967 00:54:53,175 --> 00:54:55,255 Speaker 18: me a seat, and I attached it to that bill. 968 00:54:55,815 --> 00:54:59,335 Speaker 18: When it came to tell this place, I found a 969 00:54:59,375 --> 00:55:01,735 Speaker 18: copied a lot and I gave them to the new owner. 970 00:55:01,735 --> 00:55:04,255 Speaker 18: I said, that is what's being done here, the bill 971 00:55:04,415 --> 00:55:07,375 Speaker 18: and everything else, and but just you own a board 972 00:55:07,455 --> 00:55:10,055 Speaker 18: a limon report and he just fell over the cost him. 973 00:55:10,095 --> 00:55:12,015 Speaker 18: I can't remember, see you said it cost about two 974 00:55:12,095 --> 00:55:15,215 Speaker 18: hundred and forty dollars And he said, I've got more 975 00:55:15,295 --> 00:55:16,735 Speaker 18: information on your file than. 976 00:55:19,775 --> 00:55:21,135 Speaker 6: Yeah, I can imagine. 977 00:55:21,335 --> 00:55:25,295 Speaker 18: But look if he sells it, she's got the proof. 978 00:55:25,415 --> 00:55:29,055 Speaker 18: Dere here. This is what I've done. It's all done professionally. 979 00:55:29,615 --> 00:55:32,255 Speaker 18: And then people are much quicker to make the decision. 980 00:55:32,375 --> 00:55:35,095 Speaker 18: And I would say a lot of people actually, given 981 00:55:35,175 --> 00:55:38,295 Speaker 18: what they have done and you've got your receipt, people say, well, 982 00:55:38,335 --> 00:55:40,255 Speaker 18: here's an honest fellow, he's giving it all. Oh'm I 983 00:55:40,295 --> 00:55:42,175 Speaker 18: got to bother about the bloody two hundred dollars to 984 00:55:42,255 --> 00:55:43,615 Speaker 18: do fifty for their live report. 985 00:55:44,975 --> 00:55:45,175 Speaker 8: Yeah. 986 00:55:45,415 --> 00:55:47,815 Speaker 6: Look, I wouldn't suggest that you don't look at a 987 00:55:47,895 --> 00:55:50,735 Speaker 6: LIMB report because you've got information from a vendor or 988 00:55:50,815 --> 00:55:53,975 Speaker 6: from a homeowner. But I absolutely would encourage you and 989 00:55:54,135 --> 00:55:57,455 Speaker 6: everyone to do exactly what you've done. So if you've 990 00:55:57,535 --> 00:55:59,775 Speaker 6: had building work done, or any sort of work on 991 00:55:59,815 --> 00:56:03,935 Speaker 6: the house, plumbing, electrical, drainage, whatever it is, right, keep 992 00:56:04,215 --> 00:56:07,455 Speaker 6: the receipts. Whether you get text and you upload it 993 00:56:07,535 --> 00:56:10,255 Speaker 6: into a file and you can give someone a little 994 00:56:10,375 --> 00:56:14,255 Speaker 6: USB stick or something like that, whatever you do. But 995 00:56:14,495 --> 00:56:18,375 Speaker 6: if you keep it and it's reasonably well ordered, and 996 00:56:18,495 --> 00:56:21,055 Speaker 6: then when you go to sell, as inevitably most of 997 00:56:21,135 --> 00:56:24,575 Speaker 6: us do, if you've got that available, I think it's 998 00:56:24,695 --> 00:56:28,535 Speaker 6: a huge advantage when you know, at an open home 999 00:56:28,695 --> 00:56:31,975 Speaker 6: or during a discussion, someone can go, oh, actually that's great, 1000 00:56:32,295 --> 00:56:34,935 Speaker 6: here's a receipt for the electrical work, and here's a 1001 00:56:35,015 --> 00:56:37,455 Speaker 6: receipt for that, and maybe he's a warranty and here's 1002 00:56:37,495 --> 00:56:40,135 Speaker 6: some instructions and those sorts of things. So keep all 1003 00:56:40,215 --> 00:56:42,375 Speaker 6: of that in the file. It makes a massive difference 1004 00:56:42,415 --> 00:56:43,655 Speaker 6: when you go to sell the house. 1005 00:56:44,335 --> 00:56:47,095 Speaker 18: Yeah, or sew it to. People have to remember is 1006 00:56:47,775 --> 00:56:50,335 Speaker 18: for goodness sake, when you get an electrician and he 1007 00:56:50,415 --> 00:56:55,055 Speaker 18: does electrical work, insist that you want a certificate of 1008 00:56:55,175 --> 00:56:58,855 Speaker 18: compliance because as you can't prove on you have an 1009 00:56:58,895 --> 00:57:01,495 Speaker 18: electrical fire, you're going to have a lot of fun 1010 00:57:01,575 --> 00:57:02,415 Speaker 18: rest the insurance. 1011 00:57:03,095 --> 00:57:05,135 Speaker 6: In my experience, most of the time that I've had 1012 00:57:05,255 --> 00:57:08,255 Speaker 6: you know, like not not electrical work that's part of 1013 00:57:08,295 --> 00:57:10,215 Speaker 6: a building concent or anything like that.

The property file gives 1093 01:01:53,215 --> 01:01:55,335 Speaker 6: them some of the construction info. Yeah, it is handy. 1094 01:01:56,615 --> 01:01:59,095 Speaker 6: I did one a couple of years ago for a property, 1095 01:01:59,175 --> 01:02:01,735 Speaker 6: and I submitted it and I paid my money, and 1096 01:02:01,815 --> 01:02:04,855 Speaker 6: about three days later I got a phone call from Council, 1097 01:02:04,935 --> 01:02:07,415 Speaker 6: from someone working at council and they went, look, did 1098 01:02:07,455 --> 01:02:10,415 Speaker 6: you request them for this particular property or yes, a 1099 01:02:10,535 --> 01:02:13,295 Speaker 6: property file for this particular property on a CDEO I did. 1100 01:02:13,735 --> 01:02:16,495 Speaker 6: He said, look, we've had a look and basically we've 1101 01:02:16,495 --> 01:02:21,655 Speaker 6: got nothing like nothing of value on that particular property. 1102 01:02:21,735 --> 01:02:24,495 Speaker 6: So just give us your bank account number and we'll 1103 01:02:24,535 --> 01:02:27,455 Speaker 6: give you the money back, which I thought was pretty decent. Oh, 1104 01:02:27,535 --> 01:02:29,455 Speaker 6: eight hundred eighty ten eighty the number of call just 1105 01:02:29,495 --> 01:02:31,215 Speaker 6: gone seven to thirty. We'll take a short break, we'll 1106 01:02:31,215 --> 01:02:32,495 Speaker 6: talk to Catherine in just a moment. 1107 01:02:33,175 --> 01:02:35,695 Speaker 1: Doing other house extorting the guard and asked Pete for 1108 01:02:35,775 --> 01:02:39,175 Speaker 1: a hand The resident builder with Peter wolfcap call oh 1109 01:02:39,215 --> 01:02:41,375 Speaker 1: eight hundred eight news dogs. 1110 01:02:42,495 --> 01:02:44,455 Speaker 6: Funnily enough, in the break, I did a quick Google 1111 01:02:44,495 --> 01:02:48,135 Speaker 6: search on level one pole structures, level one, level two. 1112 01:02:49,015 --> 01:02:53,455 Speaker 6: The first hit was about technical complexity of people undertaking 1113 01:02:53,575 --> 01:02:59,095 Speaker 6: pole dancing and structures related to anyway. I learned a 1114 01:02:59,135 --> 01:03:00,575 Speaker 6: whole lot of stuff that I feel I don't need 1115 01:03:00,655 --> 01:03:04,215 Speaker 6: to know. But more importantly, pole sheds and hay barns 1116 01:03:04,295 --> 01:03:07,455 Speaker 6: can be in closed, semi enclosed, or open stret And 1117 01:03:07,615 --> 01:03:12,255 Speaker 6: then the level is level one, level two is around 1118 01:03:12,335 --> 01:03:15,655 Speaker 6: the wind zone. So if it's hopefully this is the 1119 01:03:15,735 --> 01:03:19,335 Speaker 6: answer to your question, Chris, Level one, level two relates 1120 01:03:19,415 --> 01:03:22,375 Speaker 6: to wind. So obviously, if you're going to put up 1121 01:03:22,415 --> 01:03:24,895 Speaker 6: some poles and put a dumping great roof on the 1122 01:03:24,935 --> 01:03:27,175 Speaker 6: top of it, if you're in a high wind zone, 1123 01:03:27,535 --> 01:03:29,535 Speaker 6: you're going to have to do more work to hold 1124 01:03:29,575 --> 01:03:32,095 Speaker 6: it down, hold it in place than if you're in 1125 01:03:32,135 --> 01:03:34,295 Speaker 6: a low wind zone. So that's what level one, level 1126 01:03:34,335 --> 01:03:37,455 Speaker 6: two seems to be about. Makes sense. 1127 01:03:37,815 --> 01:03:41,495 Speaker 14: Okay, So it's another to do with water and grease 1128 01:03:41,575 --> 01:03:42,055 Speaker 14: upper pole. 1129 01:03:42,695 --> 01:03:45,135 Speaker 6: No, No, I don't believe so. From what I've seen, 1130 01:03:45,255 --> 01:03:47,495 Speaker 6: and it's just a brief look, it's all around wind 1131 01:03:47,695 --> 01:03:51,455 Speaker 6: and around ensuring that the roof stays on. If just 1132 01:03:51,575 --> 01:03:54,615 Speaker 6: a thinking ahead, if your intention is potentially, you know, 1133 01:03:54,735 --> 01:04:00,135 Speaker 6: in years to come, to look at enclosing the structure 1134 01:04:00,215 --> 01:04:03,935 Speaker 6: and making it a habitable space, I would suggest that 1135 01:04:04,095 --> 01:04:07,575 Speaker 6: you think about that now in terms of what you're building. 1136 01:04:07,695 --> 01:04:12,255 Speaker 6: So like wicking in a timber post into a structure, 1137 01:04:12,815 --> 01:04:15,655 Speaker 6: because the challenge sometimes with these and you want to 1138 01:04:15,695 --> 01:04:18,655 Speaker 6: go off and talk to the pole manufacturers or talk 1139 01:04:18,735 --> 01:04:21,215 Speaker 6: to the people are supplying the shed, is to say, 1140 01:04:21,775 --> 01:04:23,575 Speaker 6: if I put a post in the ground or a 1141 01:04:23,655 --> 01:04:26,855 Speaker 6: pole in the ground, and that pole ends up being 1142 01:04:27,015 --> 01:04:31,175 Speaker 6: inside my building, how do I ensure how do I 1143 01:04:31,655 --> 01:04:34,695 Speaker 6: answer a question around what happens to any moisture that 1144 01:04:34,855 --> 01:04:38,415 Speaker 6: might wick up the pole and come into my habitable 1145 01:04:38,495 --> 01:04:42,375 Speaker 6: space because my pole is inside the building structure. Now, 1146 01:04:42,415 --> 01:04:46,055 Speaker 6: it might be as simple as coating the posts or 1147 01:04:46,135 --> 01:04:48,415 Speaker 6: the poles before you put them in the ground with 1148 01:04:48,535 --> 01:04:53,055 Speaker 6: a waterproof compound or a special type of paint or 1149 01:04:53,095 --> 01:04:56,055 Speaker 6: a coating. Right that means that you don't get that 1150 01:04:56,175 --> 01:04:58,855 Speaker 6: wicking in which case that would be something extra that 1151 01:04:58,975 --> 01:05:01,095 Speaker 6: you would need to do when you're building, but it 1152 01:05:01,175 --> 01:05:04,015 Speaker 6: will help you later on. If you say I'm going 1153 01:05:04,095 --> 01:05:07,335 Speaker 6: to submit a building consent to convert my pole structure 1154 01:05:07,415 --> 01:05:10,055 Speaker 6: into a habitable space. And by the way, here's some 1155 01:05:10,175 --> 01:05:14,015 Speaker 6: evidence to prove that wicking through the timber into the 1156 01:05:14,055 --> 01:05:17,215 Speaker 6: building structure. I've addressed that by doing this, and here's 1157 01:05:17,215 --> 01:05:17,975 Speaker 6: the evidence for it. 1158 01:05:18,295 --> 01:05:21,655 Speaker 21: Yes, yep, yeah, I sort of figured something like a 1159 01:05:21,735 --> 01:05:24,575 Speaker 21: late eggs paint or something. Ye're putting the actual pole yep. 1160 01:05:24,895 --> 01:05:27,735 Speaker 21: One hundred above ground level something like that. 1161 01:05:27,935 --> 01:05:30,735 Speaker 6: Just so that later on when you submit a building consent, 1162 01:05:31,015 --> 01:05:33,415 Speaker 6: you know, because effectively it's going to be an alteration 1163 01:05:33,535 --> 01:05:37,335 Speaker 6: because you've already got a building there. And then at 1164 01:05:37,415 --> 01:05:40,295 Speaker 6: this stage your pole structure is not going to have 1165 01:05:40,375 --> 01:05:41,535 Speaker 6: any cladding on the outside. 1166 01:05:43,815 --> 01:05:46,415 Speaker 21: On one third will be enclosed, so it's basically a 1167 01:05:46,535 --> 01:05:47,775 Speaker 21: three three bay shed. 1168 01:05:48,415 --> 01:05:48,615 Speaker 6: Yep. 1169 01:05:49,175 --> 01:05:52,135 Speaker 14: Two bays will be open and one will be fully enclosed. 1170 01:05:52,455 --> 01:05:55,855 Speaker 6: Okay, So again, if you're thinking that later on it 1171 01:05:55,935 --> 01:05:58,215 Speaker 6: might be habitable, then the way in which you do 1172 01:05:58,335 --> 01:06:01,215 Speaker 6: the cladding on that third space you would try and 1173 01:06:01,335 --> 01:06:04,095 Speaker 6: do that in accordance with the building code. So typically 1174 01:06:04,615 --> 01:06:07,775 Speaker 6: with open spaces we don't put a building wrap or 1175 01:06:08,255 --> 01:06:12,335 Speaker 6: so on behind the metal, but in this instance you 1176 01:06:12,415 --> 01:06:14,615 Speaker 6: might actually want to do maybe even something like a 1177 01:06:14,735 --> 01:06:17,815 Speaker 6: rigid air barrier and then a cavity, and then you're 1178 01:06:17,895 --> 01:06:20,735 Speaker 6: cladding on the outside, or at the very least, you'd 1179 01:06:20,775 --> 01:06:23,295 Speaker 6: want to do building paper with a cavity and so on, 1180 01:06:23,495 --> 01:06:26,695 Speaker 6: and then so to prove compliance with a building code, 1181 01:06:26,695 --> 01:06:28,055 Speaker 6: because what you don't want to do is in a 1182 01:06:28,095 --> 01:06:30,495 Speaker 6: couple of years time find that you have to peel 1183 01:06:30,535 --> 01:06:32,815 Speaker 6: off all of your existing cladding in order to add 1184 01:06:33,175 --> 01:06:36,255 Speaker 6: that vapor barrier to the outside, which is required. You 1185 01:06:36,335 --> 01:06:38,255 Speaker 6: could do it now and save yourself. You know, it's 1186 01:06:38,335 --> 01:06:40,295 Speaker 6: it's an investment now, but it'll save you in the 1187 01:06:40,335 --> 01:06:40,695 Speaker 6: long run. 1188 01:06:42,095 --> 01:06:46,975 Speaker 21: Yes, yes, yes, yes, sort of the enclosed part. I 1189 01:06:47,055 --> 01:06:51,295 Speaker 21: would probably build to an important level two standard just 1190 01:06:51,375 --> 01:06:53,255 Speaker 21: for that reason and then take lots of photos. 1191 01:06:53,495 --> 01:06:56,295 Speaker 14: Yep. And like you say before, people are receipts on file. 1192 01:06:56,895 --> 01:06:59,815 Speaker 6: Yeah. Absolutely, But even if it's not like level one, 1193 01:06:59,935 --> 01:07:02,895 Speaker 6: level two is it is related to the Building Act, 1194 01:07:02,935 --> 01:07:05,135 Speaker 6: but not necessarily to the Building Code. So I'd get 1195 01:07:05,175 --> 01:07:07,175 Speaker 6: some specific advice around what do I need to do 1196 01:07:07,255 --> 01:07:09,655 Speaker 6: in order to plaid this building in accordance with the 1197 01:07:09,695 --> 01:07:14,495 Speaker 6: building code. So in terms of coverage, fixings, span between 1198 01:07:14,575 --> 01:07:17,575 Speaker 6: the fixings, vapor barrier on the outside, those sorts of things. 1199 01:07:17,935 --> 01:07:19,695 Speaker 6: Make sure that that's to the building code. 1200 01:07:21,095 --> 01:07:23,895 Speaker 21: Would would that be a conversation with a district council 1201 01:07:24,175 --> 01:07:25,375 Speaker 21: or with a builder. 1202 01:07:26,015 --> 01:07:30,575 Speaker 6: Well, ideally with a designer and in some ways with 1203 01:07:30,775 --> 01:07:34,695 Speaker 6: the designer who might submit your building consent in the future. Right, So, 1204 01:07:34,775 --> 01:07:36,815 Speaker 6: if you've got someone in mind, talk to them now 1205 01:07:37,415 --> 01:07:39,375 Speaker 6: and then they're familiar with it as well. I'm just 1206 01:07:39,415 --> 01:07:43,935 Speaker 6: thinking that would be helpful. Yes, much appreciate, good luck, 1207 01:07:44,055 --> 01:07:47,655 Speaker 6: all the best. I'm awesome you then take care, Chris Bob, 1208 01:07:47,655 --> 01:07:49,615 Speaker 6: I think oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. If 1209 01:07:49,615 --> 01:07:52,775 Speaker 6: you've got some building questions, let me just go back 1210 01:07:52,775 --> 01:08:00,935 Speaker 6: to my list. Sef, I've got some more costings for limbs. Right, Oh, 1211 01:08:01,135 --> 01:08:04,375 Speaker 6: this is a good detailed one stand by folks. High Pete. 1212 01:08:04,415 --> 01:08:08,455 Speaker 6: Limbs are a legislative doc and the content is very prescriptive. 1213 01:08:08,535 --> 01:08:11,575 Speaker 6: I work at council, but in it the LIMB team 1214 01:08:11,695 --> 01:08:14,295 Speaker 6: sit right next to me. When they receive a LIMB request, 1215 01:08:14,735 --> 01:08:18,335 Speaker 6: they send requests to all departments for their specific information 1216 01:08:18,455 --> 01:08:22,575 Speaker 6: on a property. This includes rivers, assets, services, compliance roading. 1217 01:08:23,455 --> 01:08:27,255 Speaker 6: A LIMB then includes things like floodplain information, zoning information, 1218 01:08:27,815 --> 01:08:31,815 Speaker 6: any geotechnical information. It's not just the building consens legal 1219 01:08:31,935 --> 01:08:34,495 Speaker 6: time frame is ten working days, but they are usually 1220 01:08:34,615 --> 01:08:38,095 Speaker 6: completed well within this timeframe. They then compile all of 1221 01:08:38,175 --> 01:08:40,815 Speaker 6: the information into a limb. If you just want to 1222 01:08:40,855 --> 01:08:45,815 Speaker 6: check out the property file, some council's charge, but it's less. 1223 01:08:45,895 --> 01:08:46,375 Speaker 7: I agree. 1224 01:08:47,175 --> 01:08:49,855 Speaker 6: I work at the Marlborough District Council and you you 1225 01:08:50,255 --> 01:08:53,695 Speaker 6: your property files for free in the Marlborough District Council. 1226 01:08:53,855 --> 01:08:57,015 Speaker 6: Thank you very much for that. That's super information. That's 1227 01:08:57,055 --> 01:09:00,455 Speaker 6: great much pressure. So that's an insight into how limbs 1228 01:09:00,535 --> 01:09:03,495 Speaker 6: are compiled. Oh eight, one hundred and eighty ten eighty 1229 01:09:03,695 --> 01:09:08,535 Speaker 6: is that number? Call hello Catherine, Hello, good morning morning. 1230 01:09:09,615 --> 01:09:13,135 Speaker 16: And now my problem is I think it's a problem. 1231 01:09:13,895 --> 01:09:18,015 Speaker 16: All my ceilings are cracking right from one side to 1232 01:09:18,095 --> 01:09:22,255 Speaker 16: the other where the join is, and also downstairs it's 1233 01:09:22,335 --> 01:09:26,855 Speaker 16: got fine cracks, and thee and the lounge and also 1234 01:09:27,015 --> 01:09:29,535 Speaker 16: some of the doors are sticking, and the towers and 1235 01:09:29,575 --> 01:09:33,495 Speaker 16: the bathroom are cracking right and I'm not quite sure 1236 01:09:33,575 --> 01:09:34,415 Speaker 16: who I should get in. 1237 01:09:34,495 --> 01:09:35,655 Speaker 6: Touch with sure. 1238 01:09:36,175 --> 01:09:40,495 Speaker 16: Also, also we've got a shared drive next door. I'm 1239 01:09:40,535 --> 01:09:44,055 Speaker 16: in a townhouse. Yes, share driving next door, which was 1240 01:09:44,095 --> 01:09:47,815 Speaker 16: in this one part when I moved in here to 1241 01:09:48,135 --> 01:09:51,175 Speaker 16: eleven years ago, but the middle part of it has 1242 01:09:51,255 --> 01:09:54,735 Speaker 16: dropped down about probably four inches, and I just wondered 1243 01:09:54,815 --> 01:09:56,255 Speaker 16: if that's a telltale sign. 1244 01:09:58,095 --> 01:09:58,615 Speaker 18: How old? 1245 01:09:58,855 --> 01:10:00,135 Speaker 6: Roughly is the building. 1246 01:09:59,895 --> 01:10:04,415 Speaker 16: Itself about twenty five I think twenty five. 1247 01:10:04,335 --> 01:10:06,175 Speaker 6: Years so I built around two thousand. 1248 01:10:07,655 --> 01:10:08,055 Speaker 8: Probably. 1249 01:10:10,935 --> 01:10:13,575 Speaker 6: Is it on a timber floor or is it on 1250 01:10:13,655 --> 01:10:14,495 Speaker 6: a concrete floor? 1251 01:10:15,535 --> 01:10:17,135 Speaker 19: Concrete floor? 1252 01:10:18,215 --> 01:10:22,055 Speaker 6: And is it adjoining other properties or is it solo? 1253 01:10:23,455 --> 01:10:26,415 Speaker 16: No, I'm joined its own host. I'm joineddu't as somebody 1254 01:10:26,495 --> 01:10:27,815 Speaker 16: next door just. 1255 01:10:27,895 --> 01:10:32,895 Speaker 6: On one side. Do you know whether they have experienced 1256 01:10:33,015 --> 01:10:35,055 Speaker 6: or can see similar movement? 1257 01:10:36,535 --> 01:10:37,775 Speaker 16: No, I haven't sport to them. 1258 01:10:40,655 --> 01:10:44,135 Speaker 6: I mean, I think it's it's worthy of further investigation 1259 01:10:44,695 --> 01:10:48,055 Speaker 6: in the sense that maybe in the first instance, again, 1260 01:10:48,215 --> 01:10:51,255 Speaker 6: you know, an experienced builder could come and kind of 1261 01:10:51,335 --> 01:10:54,775 Speaker 6: get a sense of whether like buildings will settle right 1262 01:10:54,855 --> 01:10:58,255 Speaker 6: and buildings will move and we kind of have a 1263 01:10:58,415 --> 01:11:01,295 Speaker 6: tolerance for a certain amount of movement, in which case, 1264 01:11:01,695 --> 01:11:05,135 Speaker 6: a door that sticks from time to time, that might 1265 01:11:05,215 --> 01:11:07,695 Speaker 6: be due to just moisture, It might be just due 1266 01:11:07,695 --> 01:11:10,575 Speaker 6: to the changes between summer and winter. It might be 1267 01:11:10,775 --> 01:11:17,095 Speaker 6: indicative of some more significant subsidence or structural failure in 1268 01:11:17,175 --> 01:11:19,935 Speaker 6: a sense of the building. But you'll soon you know, 1269 01:11:20,095 --> 01:11:22,695 Speaker 6: again from experience, you'll soon get a sense of is 1270 01:11:23,055 --> 01:11:25,455 Speaker 6: this something significant. The other thing is that, let's say 1271 01:11:26,255 --> 01:11:29,135 Speaker 6: the last time the building was stopped and painted was 1272 01:11:29,215 --> 01:11:32,815 Speaker 6: maybe fifteen or twenty years ago, then it's not unexpected 1273 01:11:32,895 --> 01:11:35,855 Speaker 6: to see cracks and so on. You'll see a little 1274 01:11:35,855 --> 01:11:38,535 Speaker 6: bit of movement around the doorframe, you might see a 1275 01:11:38,655 --> 01:11:41,575 Speaker 6: joint that opens up on the ceiling, these sorts of things. 1276 01:11:42,295 --> 01:11:44,535 Speaker 6: You know, if you said to me it's a three 1277 01:11:44,615 --> 01:11:47,775 Speaker 6: year old townhouse, then I'd go, actually, that's worthy of 1278 01:11:48,215 --> 01:11:52,135 Speaker 6: really significant investigation. But twenty five year old house, there 1279 01:11:52,175 --> 01:11:54,775 Speaker 6: may have been a certain amount of movement. What you 1280 01:11:54,815 --> 01:11:58,295 Speaker 6: would be most concerned about is is this movement indicative 1281 01:11:58,495 --> 01:12:02,695 Speaker 6: of a serious issue with subsidence or movement in the slab, 1282 01:12:03,255 --> 01:12:05,095 Speaker 6: or is this one of those things that over a 1283 01:12:05,175 --> 01:12:07,455 Speaker 6: period of time you'll get and if we fixed it, 1284 01:12:07,855 --> 01:12:10,975 Speaker 6: it won't come back again. So my suggestion would be 1285 01:12:11,215 --> 01:12:14,855 Speaker 6: to reach out to an experienced builder who either you 1286 01:12:14,975 --> 01:12:18,095 Speaker 6: know or is recommended to you. They'll come through give 1287 01:12:18,175 --> 01:12:20,895 Speaker 6: you a general sense of is there something to be 1288 01:12:21,015 --> 01:12:24,655 Speaker 6: concerned about? If there is something really serious with the building, 1289 01:12:24,775 --> 01:12:28,015 Speaker 6: then you'd probably want to get professional advice. From a 1290 01:12:28,015 --> 01:12:33,135 Speaker 6: structural engineer who could come and determine, maybe take some levels, 1291 01:12:33,175 --> 01:12:35,975 Speaker 6: that sort of thing. But if not, then it might 1292 01:12:36,135 --> 01:12:39,935 Speaker 6: just be the building needs some work. Doors need to 1293 01:12:39,975 --> 01:12:42,255 Speaker 6: be easy, the ceiling can be stopped, that sort of thing. 1294 01:12:42,335 --> 01:12:45,775 Speaker 6: But you really need to be there in person looking 1295 01:12:45,855 --> 01:12:48,615 Speaker 6: at it to get a sense of what's going on. Yeah, 1296 01:12:48,975 --> 01:12:53,455 Speaker 6: but if I was in your shoes, I wouldn't jump 1297 01:12:53,495 --> 01:12:55,735 Speaker 6: to the conclusion that, hey, I've got a significant issue 1298 01:12:55,775 --> 01:12:59,415 Speaker 6: with that. It would be worth pointing out to whoever 1299 01:12:59,535 --> 01:13:02,535 Speaker 6: comes that, Hey, look, there's been some significant movement to 1300 01:13:02,695 --> 01:13:05,175 Speaker 6: the driveway outside or those sorts of things, because that 1301 01:13:05,255 --> 01:13:08,215 Speaker 6: would you know, for driveways move that much, it probably 1302 01:13:08,295 --> 01:13:11,055 Speaker 6: indicates that it wasn't particularly well prepped in the first place, 1303 01:13:11,895 --> 01:13:14,255 Speaker 6: in which case, if that wasn't well prepped, then maybe 1304 01:13:14,375 --> 01:13:16,615 Speaker 6: some of the slab wasn't as well prepped and there 1305 01:13:16,695 --> 01:13:19,215 Speaker 6: might be some move on the outside of the building. 1306 01:13:20,175 --> 01:13:22,695 Speaker 6: What's the cladding's what's the outside lining? 1307 01:13:24,415 --> 01:13:27,455 Speaker 16: Well, it looks like wood, but it's not like a 1308 01:13:27,535 --> 01:13:28,495 Speaker 16: plastic stuff. 1309 01:13:28,695 --> 01:13:32,015 Speaker 6: Yeah, sure, And in that like, do you ever notice 1310 01:13:32,055 --> 01:13:35,095 Speaker 6: that any of your windows or the door, the front 1311 01:13:35,135 --> 01:13:38,095 Speaker 6: door and that sort of thing get difficult to open 1312 01:13:38,215 --> 01:13:38,935 Speaker 6: or close. 1313 01:13:40,215 --> 01:13:40,895 Speaker 16: The front door. 1314 01:13:41,495 --> 01:13:44,135 Speaker 6: Front door does okay, So it's that sort of thing. 1315 01:13:44,175 --> 01:13:46,135 Speaker 6: It's like, you know, it's a whole series of twells 1316 01:13:46,175 --> 01:13:49,735 Speaker 6: in a poker game, you're asking someone to identify and go, okay, 1317 01:13:49,815 --> 01:13:51,775 Speaker 6: that gets a bit sticky. Does it only get sticky 1318 01:13:51,815 --> 01:13:54,295 Speaker 6: in winter and in summer it's okay, in which case 1319 01:13:54,455 --> 01:13:55,535 Speaker 6: you can adjust the door. 1320 01:13:55,455 --> 01:13:55,695 Speaker 10: For that. 1321 01:13:58,855 --> 01:14:03,255 Speaker 16: Downstairs door wardrobe door has been sticking for years? Someone 1322 01:14:03,295 --> 01:14:03,895 Speaker 16: around winter? 1323 01:14:04,215 --> 01:14:07,255 Speaker 6: Yeah, and I no, I just regional. 1324 01:14:07,015 --> 01:14:08,815 Speaker 16: Rang which I just slooked up and I noticed this. 1325 01:14:09,215 --> 01:14:10,855 Speaker 16: The scusshous cracked straight through. 1326 01:14:12,095 --> 01:14:17,175 Speaker 6: It was the last week, right, okay, And look partly, 1327 01:14:17,535 --> 01:14:19,135 Speaker 6: you know, depending on where you are in the country, 1328 01:14:19,175 --> 01:14:22,415 Speaker 6: we've had a particularly long, hot, dry summer and now 1329 01:14:22,455 --> 01:14:24,935 Speaker 6: we've had a lot of rainfall. Buildings tend to move 1330 01:14:25,175 --> 01:14:26,055 Speaker 6: in those conditions. 1331 01:14:26,535 --> 01:14:26,695 Speaker 4: You know. 1332 01:14:26,815 --> 01:14:29,175 Speaker 6: It's it's a it's a sort of a scale, isn't 1333 01:14:29,215 --> 01:14:31,335 Speaker 6: it where you're going? You know, is this a significant 1334 01:14:31,375 --> 01:14:35,655 Speaker 6: problem or a relatively minor problem. My sense is that 1335 01:14:35,815 --> 01:14:39,895 Speaker 6: it feels like it's relatively minor. But again, someone to 1336 01:14:40,015 --> 01:14:42,295 Speaker 6: have eyes on and have a look at it would 1337 01:14:42,335 --> 01:14:43,095 Speaker 6: be really worthwhile. 1338 01:14:44,135 --> 01:14:46,775 Speaker 16: Okay, I'll do that. Okay, thank you all. 1339 01:14:46,775 --> 01:14:49,615 Speaker 6: The very best. You, take care you and News talks'd B. 1340 01:14:49,735 --> 01:14:51,735 Speaker 6: We can take a break. It is seven forty five, 1341 01:14:51,855 --> 01:14:53,855 Speaker 6: let's call it seven forty six actually, then we'll come 1342 01:14:53,895 --> 01:14:54,735 Speaker 6: back and talk to Steve. 1343 01:14:55,055 --> 01:14:57,895 Speaker 1: Whether you're painting the ceiling, fixing with fence, or wondering 1344 01:14:57,975 --> 01:15:00,095 Speaker 1: how to fix that hole in the wall. Give Feeder 1345 01:15:00,135 --> 01:15:05,295 Speaker 1: Wolf caabcle on eighty the resident builder on Youth TALKS'B. 1346 01:15:06,015 --> 01:15:09,975 Speaker 6: Today we're looking into tryboard as a lining option. So 1347 01:15:10,855 --> 01:15:13,095 Speaker 6: it comes in two point four or three point six 1348 01:15:13,255 --> 01:15:16,895 Speaker 6: meter sheets. It's ten mil. It's got two MDF outer 1349 01:15:17,055 --> 01:15:21,175 Speaker 6: layers in a strand board inner layer, light durable, can 1350 01:15:21,255 --> 01:15:23,935 Speaker 6: handle the NOx. It's pretty tough, so it's perfect for 1351 01:15:24,015 --> 01:15:26,895 Speaker 6: renovations and for new builds. Joining us this morning is 1352 01:15:26,895 --> 01:15:29,975 Speaker 6: Brendan Morony from Store in z Now. You specialize in kitchens, 1353 01:15:30,055 --> 01:15:33,455 Speaker 6: cabins and custom builds based up in Northland. You've been 1354 01:15:33,575 --> 01:15:35,775 Speaker 6: using it for a couple of years. How did you 1355 01:15:36,015 --> 01:15:37,295 Speaker 6: get interested in tryboard? 1356 01:15:38,735 --> 01:15:42,775 Speaker 19: I started using trybards just after the COVID lockdowns, and 1357 01:15:43,015 --> 01:15:47,135 Speaker 19: the reason I started using it is because plywoods became 1358 01:15:47,335 --> 01:15:52,495 Speaker 19: quite inconsistent, just availability and also the varying price and 1359 01:15:52,815 --> 01:15:53,655 Speaker 19: the quality as well. 1360 01:15:53,695 --> 01:15:55,295 Speaker 16: The quality really. 1361 01:15:55,215 --> 01:15:57,455 Speaker 19: Plumed a little bit, I think just due to availability. 1362 01:15:57,615 --> 01:16:01,335 Speaker 6: Sure. So in terms of the installation process, this is 1363 01:16:01,495 --> 01:16:05,975 Speaker 6: your lining over conventional timber framing, speed complexity, walk us 1364 01:16:06,015 --> 01:16:06,215 Speaker 6: through it. 1365 01:16:07,175 --> 01:16:10,335 Speaker 19: So, yeah, it's pretty it's pretty simple. We just we 1366 01:16:10,455 --> 01:16:15,655 Speaker 19: do our framing and insulation and cabling, and then the 1367 01:16:15,735 --> 01:16:18,255 Speaker 19: triboarder is glued to our timber framing and then pins 1368 01:16:18,295 --> 01:16:21,135 Speaker 19: and then also screwed, just just to compress the glue 1369 01:16:21,135 --> 01:16:23,895 Speaker 19: and give it a good fixing. It's not used as 1370 01:16:23,935 --> 01:16:26,775 Speaker 19: a bracing element, but it definitely does add a bracing 1371 01:16:26,815 --> 01:16:27,855 Speaker 19: element to the structure. 1372 01:16:28,775 --> 01:16:33,495 Speaker 6: In terms of selection of links, what do you typically use? 1373 01:16:34,535 --> 01:16:37,255 Speaker 19: I use both the two point four and the three 1374 01:16:37,335 --> 01:16:41,295 Speaker 19: point six one. I find the two point four mainly 1375 01:16:41,335 --> 01:16:43,815 Speaker 19: for the wall linings, and then also if I build 1376 01:16:43,855 --> 01:16:46,695 Speaker 19: a higher unit, I can cut down the three point six, 1377 01:16:47,415 --> 01:16:49,695 Speaker 19: But then the three point six is ideal for going 1378 01:16:49,735 --> 01:16:53,015 Speaker 19: across the ceiling long ways. Just just less less boards, 1379 01:16:53,255 --> 01:16:56,215 Speaker 19: less work. Yeah, so you're using it a nicer finish. 1380 01:16:56,215 --> 01:16:57,375 Speaker 6: Walls and ceilings. 1381 01:16:58,055 --> 01:16:58,815 Speaker 19: Yeah, that's correct. 1382 01:17:00,135 --> 01:17:03,975 Speaker 6: In terms of coating it, what would your top tips 1383 01:17:04,055 --> 01:17:04,855 Speaker 6: for coating it be. 1384 01:17:06,175 --> 01:17:08,415 Speaker 19: I don't really have many top tips for courting as 1385 01:17:09,135 --> 01:17:09,855 Speaker 19: to come in and do it. 1386 01:17:10,055 --> 01:17:10,255 Speaker 18: Yell. 1387 01:17:10,575 --> 01:17:13,255 Speaker 19: As far as the courting goes, it's it's a lot 1388 01:17:13,375 --> 01:17:16,655 Speaker 19: nicer than than a flywood finish. It's there's no inconsistencies 1389 01:17:16,935 --> 01:17:19,975 Speaker 19: or not. So it definitely comes up really nice once 1390 01:17:20,015 --> 01:17:22,655 Speaker 19: it's finished, and we put a little chamfur on the joint, yes, 1391 01:17:23,055 --> 01:17:25,615 Speaker 19: and line them up with the ceiling, and yeah, it 1392 01:17:25,615 --> 01:17:26,175 Speaker 19: looks stunny. 1393 01:17:26,815 --> 01:17:29,815 Speaker 6: And because with the MDF skin on it, it does 1394 01:17:29,935 --> 01:17:33,095 Speaker 6: give you a really really smooth finish, doesn't it It does. 1395 01:17:33,215 --> 01:17:35,975 Speaker 19: Yeah, it's it's when you look side by side with 1396 01:17:36,135 --> 01:17:38,655 Speaker 19: NDF and firewood, you get a really nice finish. 1397 01:17:39,535 --> 01:17:43,655 Speaker 6: Nice in terms of some projects coming up, where do 1398 01:17:43,735 --> 01:17:45,215 Speaker 6: you think you'll be using tribwood next? 1399 01:17:46,575 --> 01:17:50,055 Speaker 19: I use triboard on I'd say ninety five percent of 1400 01:17:50,135 --> 01:17:54,335 Speaker 19: my cabins, so I'll be using it this week. I 1401 01:17:54,455 --> 01:17:57,415 Speaker 19: buy it quite quite regularly, probably buy a pack of 1402 01:17:57,495 --> 01:18:02,055 Speaker 19: fifty every two weeks. Yes, Yeah, that's I was in 1403 01:18:02,135 --> 01:18:03,455 Speaker 19: stock in my in my workshop. 1404 01:18:03,695 --> 01:18:06,135 Speaker 6: It's brilliant. It's become sort of an integral part of 1405 01:18:06,335 --> 01:18:07,095 Speaker 6: the buildings that you do. 1406 01:18:08,015 --> 01:18:12,415 Speaker 19: Yeah, definitely. It's just that consistency, consistency and product price 1407 01:18:12,735 --> 01:18:14,255 Speaker 19: and availability. 1408 01:18:14,055 --> 01:18:17,055 Speaker 6: And and a finish that you're really happy with Yeah, and. 1409 01:18:17,095 --> 01:18:19,415 Speaker 19: Also the customers love that they come and they're always 1410 01:18:19,415 --> 01:18:22,015 Speaker 19: impressed with the finish. So that's that's I was. I 1411 01:18:22,175 --> 01:18:23,175 Speaker 19: was a bonus good to hear. 1412 01:18:23,175 --> 01:18:25,415 Speaker 6: If you want to look at some of Brendan's projects, 1413 01:18:25,615 --> 01:18:28,295 Speaker 6: have a look at store dot co dot nz.

I think for a project that 1424 01:18:58,215 --> 01:19:02,255 Speaker 6: made of Mind's doing so I might end up helping 1425 01:19:02,335 --> 01:19:03,935 Speaker 6: out for half a day as well. He's going to 1426 01:19:04,015 --> 01:19:07,575 Speaker 6: cut frame up on side. Haven't done that for a while. 1427 01:19:08,135 --> 01:19:09,855 Speaker 6: That should be good fun. Oh eight hundred and eighty 1428 01:19:09,975 --> 01:19:14,015 Speaker 6: ten eighty is the number to call quick text morning peak. 1429 01:19:14,055 --> 01:19:18,135 Speaker 6: We're changing wooden joinery to new double glazed aluminium jowinery. 1430 01:19:18,535 --> 01:19:20,575 Speaker 6: We're also putting in a new stacker in where the 1431 01:19:20,615 --> 01:19:22,455 Speaker 6: garage door is the work will be done by a 1432 01:19:22,535 --> 01:19:26,455 Speaker 6: licensed building practitioner. Do we need a building consent? Thanks Kathy. 1433 01:19:27,575 --> 01:19:31,775 Speaker 6: The question, Kathy is if you are putting in a 1434 01:19:32,255 --> 01:19:36,535 Speaker 6: stacker where the garage door is, is that are you 1435 01:19:36,655 --> 01:19:41,215 Speaker 6: intending to then use the garage for something other than 1436 01:19:41,255 --> 01:19:43,055 Speaker 6: the garage? And given it's very difficult to drive a 1437 01:19:43,135 --> 01:19:47,535 Speaker 6: car through a stacker, well certainly without damaging it, then 1438 01:19:47,695 --> 01:19:50,735 Speaker 6: I suspect that what you're doing is changing the purpose 1439 01:19:50,855 --> 01:20:01,295 Speaker 6: of that room. If you're going to make it into 1440 01:20:01,335 --> 01:20:04,375 Speaker 6: a habitable space, then that habitable space needs to comply 1441 01:20:04,535 --> 01:20:09,295 Speaker 6: with the building code. If it's an existing garage, is 1442 01:20:09,335 --> 01:20:14,255 Speaker 6: it insulated, does the cladding have a vapor barrier? Is 1443 01:20:14,335 --> 01:20:18,135 Speaker 6: there a vapor barrier under the slab? So those sorts 1444 01:20:18,175 --> 01:20:20,935 Speaker 6: of things might trigger a requirement for a building consent. 1445 01:20:21,375 --> 01:20:24,095 Speaker 6: Interestingly enough, and I found this document on the Organ 1446 01:20:24,135 --> 01:20:26,535 Speaker 6: Council website a couple of weeks ago when we were 1447 01:20:26,575 --> 01:20:30,655 Speaker 6: talking about a garage that had been converted into another space, 1448 01:20:31,295 --> 01:20:33,655 Speaker 6: originally like a rumpus and then ultimately it had a 1449 01:20:33,975 --> 01:20:38,735 Speaker 6: bed in there and that whole thing around change of 1450 01:20:38,935 --> 01:20:43,015 Speaker 6: use and the guidance from Augan Council on the PDF 1451 01:20:43,095 --> 01:20:46,775 Speaker 6: that I found was that change of use is not 1452 01:20:47,495 --> 01:20:49,335 Speaker 6: a reason to get a building consent. 1453 01:20:50,615 --> 01:20:50,695 Speaker 4: But. 1454 01:20:52,735 --> 01:20:58,055 Speaker 6: Pladding, joinery, vapor barriers, those are reasons to get building consents. 1455 01:20:58,095 --> 01:21:00,135 Speaker 6: And that's where I think, Kathy, you might need to 1456 01:21:00,135 --> 01:21:02,375 Speaker 6: get some advice on that as to whether or not 1457 01:21:02,495 --> 01:21:04,695 Speaker 6: you could do or should do that work without getting 1458 01:21:04,695 --> 01:21:09,375 Speaker 6: a building consent. Radio coming up. Actually we are getting 1459 01:21:09,535 --> 01:21:11,655 Speaker 6: very close to New Sport and we're the top of 1460 01:21:11,655 --> 01:21:15,175 Speaker 6: the hour. Do you think Steve will Holt We'll ask him. 1461 01:21:15,215 --> 01:21:20,655 Speaker 6: We'll see. Just on the level one level two for 1462 01:21:20,735 --> 01:21:23,335 Speaker 6: the pole shed someone's text through Brian, thank you for this. 1463 01:21:24,015 --> 01:21:26,175 Speaker 6: Level one level two for the pole sheds relates to 1464 01:21:26,295 --> 01:21:29,255 Speaker 6: the overall rigidity of the building. Assuming that level two 1465 01:21:29,375 --> 01:21:32,375 Speaker 6: is going to be a ininhabitable space, it will have 1466 01:21:32,495 --> 01:21:35,895 Speaker 6: internal linings that are subject to cracking. So, for example, 1467 01:21:35,895 --> 01:21:38,215 Speaker 6: as the plaster boards us, regardless of level one and 1468 01:21:38,335 --> 01:21:41,615 Speaker 6: level two, sheds are designed for the specific wind zones 1469 01:21:41,655 --> 01:21:45,815 Speaker 6: that they are subject to in their location, so there's 1470 01:21:45,935 --> 01:21:50,815 Speaker 6: rigidity as well, and obviously wind zones as well. We've 1471 01:21:50,855 --> 01:21:55,655 Speaker 6: talked a little bit about the bamboo. Someone I mentioned 1472 01:21:55,695 --> 01:21:58,895 Speaker 6: a waterproofing product that I used a couple of weeks ago, 1473 01:21:58,935 --> 01:22:02,135 Speaker 6: A couple of months ago now actually on a flat roof, 1474 01:22:02,295 --> 01:22:04,855 Speaker 6: just to give me a little bit of extra protection 1475 01:22:04,975 --> 01:22:07,775 Speaker 6: for the winter. That's well on its way now. That 1476 01:22:07,975 --> 01:22:11,655 Speaker 6: was in juris so Injurius is the product there that 1477 01:22:11,735 --> 01:22:13,935 Speaker 6: I used just as an application over the top of 1478 01:22:14,015 --> 01:22:18,055 Speaker 6: an existing flat roof, essentially to extend its life. That's 1479 01:22:18,095 --> 01:22:19,815 Speaker 6: what I was trying to achieve and it seems to 1480 01:22:19,855 --> 01:22:22,455 Speaker 6: have worked pretty well at the stage as well, which 1481 01:22:22,535 --> 01:22:24,615 Speaker 6: is great. So Injurious was that the name of that 1482 01:22:24,695 --> 01:22:29,135 Speaker 6: one at this stage? Wellington Council is the most expensive 1483 01:22:29,175 --> 01:22:32,095 Speaker 6: council to request a limb from. I've just been online 1484 01:22:32,135 --> 01:22:35,375 Speaker 6: to the Auckland Council website. Standard limb three hundred and 1485 01:22:35,455 --> 01:22:40,495 Speaker 6: sixty seven dollars, Wellington five hundred and fifty. 1486 01:22:41,015 --> 01:22:44,615 Speaker 1: Squeaky door or squeaky floor. Get the right advice from 1487 01:22:44,735 --> 01:22:47,895 Speaker 1: Peter Wolfcare, the resident builder on Newstalk ZMB. 1488 01:22:49,175 --> 01:22:51,175 Speaker 6: You're a news talk zb oh eight hundred and eighty 1489 01:22:51,295 --> 01:22:55,855 Speaker 6: ten eighty is the number to call. Just completely unrelated 1490 01:22:55,895 --> 01:22:58,175 Speaker 6: to this, but a highlight for my week, I have 1491 01:22:58,255 --> 01:23:02,695 Speaker 6: to say. I went on Thursday evening to the gala 1492 01:23:02,855 --> 01:23:08,055 Speaker 6: performance for the Big Singh Coral Competition. Essentially which has 1493 01:23:08,135 --> 01:23:12,135 Speaker 6: run around the country for secondary schools and choirs enter 1494 01:23:12,695 --> 01:23:15,855 Speaker 6: and they in Auckland, for example, they competed over three days, 1495 01:23:15,895 --> 01:23:19,415 Speaker 6: so Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and then the groups that competed 1496 01:23:19,455 --> 01:23:23,535 Speaker 6: on Thursday then all performed one piece. From there they 1497 01:23:23,655 --> 01:23:26,495 Speaker 6: have to do three songs for the competition. They performed 1498 01:23:26,575 --> 01:23:29,495 Speaker 6: one piece to a gala performance that mom and dad 1499 01:23:29,695 --> 01:23:31,375 Speaker 6: like us can come along and have a look at. 1500 01:23:33,095 --> 01:23:36,175 Speaker 6: I'm new to this whole world, but we went last 1501 01:23:36,255 --> 01:23:39,575 Speaker 6: year and enjoyed it. Went on Thursday night. What a 1502 01:23:39,775 --> 01:23:44,575 Speaker 6: fantastic event, just fantastic. And to see a whole bunch 1503 01:23:44,655 --> 01:23:50,775 Speaker 6: of secondary school students who are obviously disciplined, engaged, very professional, 1504 01:23:51,895 --> 01:23:55,655 Speaker 6: presenting a wide range of choral music to such a 1505 01:23:55,735 --> 01:23:59,935 Speaker 6: high standard. What a fantastic event. If your school age 1506 01:24:00,015 --> 01:24:02,215 Speaker 6: kid comes home and goes, I'm thinking of getting involved 1507 01:24:02,215 --> 01:24:04,295 Speaker 6: in a choir and going to the big thing. Don't 1508 01:24:04,335 --> 01:24:07,175 Speaker 6: stand their way. It's absolutely fantastic. I had a great 1509 01:24:07,215 --> 01:24:10,815 Speaker 6: time on thusday, Rightio eight hundred and eighty ten eighty 1510 01:24:10,975 --> 01:24:13,975 Speaker 6: is the number to call. Steve, very patient man, Thank 1511 01:24:14,015 --> 01:24:16,655 Speaker 6: you very much for waiting. Let's talk property files. 1512 01:24:18,295 --> 01:24:22,295 Speaker 4: Yeah here, Pete, Yeah, okay, look as you probably know 1513 01:24:22,335 --> 01:24:25,375 Speaker 4: I've been. We've talked before. I'm an architectural designer. You 1514 01:24:25,695 --> 01:24:29,735 Speaker 4: have been the book industry over toty year. And look, 1515 01:24:29,775 --> 01:24:31,535 Speaker 4: it's just one thing I wanted to bring up to 1516 01:24:31,655 --> 01:24:37,135 Speaker 4: about the about code compliances, right and what homeowners need 1517 01:24:37,255 --> 01:24:39,335 Speaker 4: to be sort of wary of. And I believe that 1518 01:24:39,775 --> 01:24:41,935 Speaker 4: the disconnect and I'm running into I run into the 1519 01:24:42,015 --> 01:24:44,415 Speaker 4: situation quite often. And you don't know if you hear 1520 01:24:44,495 --> 01:24:47,575 Speaker 4: about it much yourself, because it sounds like you're very 1521 01:24:47,655 --> 01:24:51,855 Speaker 4: diligent in helping your clients get their code compliances, and 1522 01:24:51,975 --> 01:24:55,055 Speaker 4: you probably arrange things as for them as a matter 1523 01:24:55,135 --> 01:24:58,535 Speaker 4: of goodwill. But what the situations I run into is 1524 01:24:58,575 --> 01:25:02,695 Speaker 4: that not every field is as diligence and as conscientious 1525 01:25:02,775 --> 01:25:06,055 Speaker 4: as you peek. And you probably know about this situation 1526 01:25:06,335 --> 01:25:09,295 Speaker 4: where there's a bit of a disconnect. So the builder 1527 01:25:09,335 --> 01:25:12,255 Speaker 4: will quote the job and you'll get his final you'll 1528 01:25:12,255 --> 01:25:15,735 Speaker 4: get probably his final payment on the final inspection, which 1529 01:25:15,815 --> 01:25:22,175 Speaker 4: is the practical the practical completion inspection, and that'll generally 1530 01:25:22,295 --> 01:25:25,095 Speaker 4: be the end, the end point for the builder and 1531 01:25:25,175 --> 01:25:27,775 Speaker 4: he'll get his final payment. Now, the owners happy with 1532 01:25:27,855 --> 01:25:30,215 Speaker 4: this because it's great, right, you've had the council come through, 1533 01:25:30,335 --> 01:25:33,375 Speaker 4: do the inspection after and they think all the hard 1534 01:25:33,415 --> 01:25:36,575 Speaker 4: work's been done. Hey, but wait, they've forgotten they got 1535 01:25:36,695 --> 01:25:40,655 Speaker 4: coded compliance. And a lot of them don't actually have 1536 01:25:40,815 --> 01:25:43,495 Speaker 4: any idea that they're the ones who are meant to 1537 01:25:43,815 --> 01:25:47,415 Speaker 4: arrange all the paperwork. And a lot of the time 1538 01:25:47,495 --> 01:25:49,775 Speaker 4: the building goes quiet, he goes off to the next job. 1539 01:25:50,055 --> 01:25:51,975 Speaker 4: The owners happy they're living in it, and they don't 1540 01:25:52,015 --> 01:25:54,975 Speaker 4: realize but in the background, the code of compliance hasn't 1541 01:25:55,015 --> 01:25:58,535 Speaker 4: been applied for And then time is picking on the 1542 01:25:58,655 --> 01:26:01,175 Speaker 4: expiry date, and then all of a sudden they get 1543 01:26:01,335 --> 01:26:04,055 Speaker 4: the home owner two years later, it gets letters coming 1544 01:26:04,095 --> 01:26:06,095 Speaker 4: in from the council going, you're you're building going to 1545 01:26:06,095 --> 01:26:07,895 Speaker 4: see it's about to expire. You won't be able to 1546 01:26:07,895 --> 01:26:10,855 Speaker 4: get your code compliance. Send them into a panic. I 1547 01:26:10,975 --> 01:26:13,655 Speaker 4: get a call, I get the building from the get go. 1548 01:26:13,855 --> 01:26:16,255 Speaker 4: They think it's my job. I say no, I get 1549 01:26:16,255 --> 01:26:18,335 Speaker 4: your building consents and then we hand it over to 1550 01:26:18,415 --> 01:26:21,935 Speaker 4: the builder. Your builder should have really helped you out there. Now, 1551 01:26:22,015 --> 01:26:25,815 Speaker 4: I think there's a gap in the law there right 1552 01:26:25,895 --> 01:26:30,135 Speaker 4: in the regulatory environment that's allowing this gap. Do you 1553 01:26:30,295 --> 01:26:34,295 Speaker 4: believe that builders should have some sort of obligation. 1554 01:26:34,615 --> 01:26:40,335 Speaker 6: No, I don't, Actually, I really don't, and for the 1555 01:26:40,415 --> 01:26:45,175 Speaker 6: simple reason that so we'll just part that right. So, 1556 01:26:45,295 --> 01:26:47,895 Speaker 6: I don't think that we need to add more legislation 1557 01:26:48,215 --> 01:26:51,695 Speaker 6: or more responsibility on builders lbps to work with their 1558 01:26:51,735 --> 01:26:54,415 Speaker 6: clients to get the LBP to get the CCC through. 1559 01:26:55,055 --> 01:26:57,575 Speaker 6: I think what we do need to do is to 1560 01:26:57,735 --> 01:27:01,695 Speaker 6: have a bit more education around the responsibilities of people 1561 01:27:01,735 --> 01:27:05,095 Speaker 6: who are having building work done to get the CCC 1562 01:27:05,295 --> 01:27:09,615 Speaker 6: signed off, and that responsibility rests with the homeowner. Now, 1563 01:27:10,895 --> 01:27:13,615 Speaker 6: you know, it would be really easy for a homeowner 1564 01:27:13,975 --> 01:27:17,575 Speaker 6: when engaging with a builder for restricted building work, work 1565 01:27:17,615 --> 01:27:19,655 Speaker 6: that requires a consent, work that's going to need a 1566 01:27:19,735 --> 01:27:23,975 Speaker 6: CCC to have it finished, right, is to go to 1567 01:27:24,135 --> 01:27:28,095 Speaker 6: the builder as part of your contract to me, can 1568 01:27:28,175 --> 01:27:30,735 Speaker 6: you allow some time tell me what it's going to 1569 01:27:30,775 --> 01:27:34,375 Speaker 6: cost for you to apply and get the CCC and 1570 01:27:34,535 --> 01:27:36,455 Speaker 6: add it to the contract. It's as simple as that. 1571 01:27:37,335 --> 01:27:39,655 Speaker 4: But I'll tell you what people, you know, the reality 1572 01:27:39,735 --> 01:27:41,655 Speaker 4: on the ground as we hear about education in New 1573 01:27:41,735 --> 01:27:44,855 Speaker 4: Zealand for everything, let's just educate that, let's educate this 1574 01:27:44,975 --> 01:27:47,175 Speaker 4: and that and that it never it never works. 1575 01:27:47,255 --> 01:27:47,455 Speaker 8: Mate. 1576 01:27:47,695 --> 01:27:49,055 Speaker 4: You've got to have you've got to have a bit 1577 01:27:49,095 --> 01:27:50,735 Speaker 4: of stick at the end, because the homeowner at the 1578 01:27:50,775 --> 01:27:53,615 Speaker 4: beginning gets your quotes from the builders, right, and they're 1579 01:27:53,655 --> 01:27:56,335 Speaker 4: overwhelmed with all this paperwork. I get that they have 1580 01:27:56,455 --> 01:27:59,295 Speaker 4: no idea what's going on, and so I and saying, 1581 01:27:59,695 --> 01:28:03,135 Speaker 4: you know, like I said, education only works on people 1582 01:28:03,255 --> 01:28:05,655 Speaker 4: like you, mate, people who want to take it an 1583 01:28:05,695 --> 01:28:07,015 Speaker 4: absorbit to. 1584 01:28:07,135 --> 01:28:09,775 Speaker 6: Be fair to the work particularly well with me. But no, 1585 01:28:09,935 --> 01:28:13,095 Speaker 6: I just think it's at this stage. I think the 1586 01:28:13,255 --> 01:28:16,095 Speaker 6: best thing that we could do is to just really 1587 01:28:16,175 --> 01:28:21,655 Speaker 6: emphasize the fact that if as a homeowner, you know 1588 01:28:22,015 --> 01:28:24,135 Speaker 6: what your responsibilities are. And that's why I've got a 1589 01:28:24,175 --> 01:28:25,895 Speaker 6: text an hour and a half ago someone said, look, 1590 01:28:26,175 --> 01:28:30,735 Speaker 6: we've just done a relatively minor alteration how the builders finished. 1591 01:28:30,735 --> 01:28:33,255 Speaker 6: The final inspection was done. We got the paperwork. It 1592 01:28:33,335 --> 01:28:35,895 Speaker 6: took me a morning to get everything together. I've submitted 1593 01:28:35,895 --> 01:28:38,815 Speaker 6: it and I've got the CCC. So you know, I 1594 01:28:38,855 --> 01:28:41,495 Speaker 6: don't want to present an image where the CCC is 1595 01:28:41,575 --> 01:28:44,415 Speaker 6: really really hard to get. Often it's just a case 1596 01:28:44,495 --> 01:28:46,535 Speaker 6: of knowing what you need and that can be a 1597 01:28:46,575 --> 01:28:49,935 Speaker 6: bit challenging and then submitting it in a timely fashion. 1598 01:28:50,095 --> 01:28:55,375 Speaker 6: So I just think if as a if you're a 1599 01:28:56,335 --> 01:29:00,695 Speaker 6: client and you've contracted a builder and you are unsure 1600 01:29:00,735 --> 01:29:02,815 Speaker 6: about that process or you feel that you don't have 1601 01:29:02,895 --> 01:29:04,655 Speaker 6: the bandwidth to do it, you know, in terms of 1602 01:29:04,735 --> 01:29:09,535 Speaker 6: time and experience. Then just add the responsibility to get 1603 01:29:09,575 --> 01:29:12,335 Speaker 6: the CCC back on the builder. The builder will charge 1604 01:29:12,375 --> 01:29:14,655 Speaker 6: you the time for it, which is appropriate, but then 1605 01:29:14,695 --> 01:29:16,015 Speaker 6: at least you know it's going to get done. 1606 01:29:16,815 --> 01:29:18,655 Speaker 4: But what about this pee do you think the homeowners 1607 01:29:18,655 --> 01:29:20,975 Speaker 4: should hold final a portion of the payment back and 1608 01:29:21,055 --> 01:29:24,815 Speaker 4: tool code compliances are received because the builder has an 1609 01:29:24,815 --> 01:29:27,535 Speaker 4: obligation to provide paperwork. And this is what people don't 1610 01:29:27,615 --> 01:29:30,535 Speaker 4: understand or the producers. Yes, so a lot of the 1611 01:29:30,615 --> 01:29:33,695 Speaker 4: time they don't get that. In my experience, there's a 1612 01:29:33,775 --> 01:29:36,895 Speaker 4: lot of lazy builders out there. And let's face it, 1613 01:29:37,135 --> 01:29:39,015 Speaker 4: we like to say New Zealanders don't do this kind 1614 01:29:39,055 --> 01:29:41,615 Speaker 4: of thing, but they do. They're like any other trades 1615 01:29:41,655 --> 01:29:43,975 Speaker 4: person in the world. There are roague ones out there 1616 01:29:44,055 --> 01:29:47,015 Speaker 4: and they'll take the easiest path like water, and they'll 1617 01:29:47,055 --> 01:29:50,335 Speaker 4: grab that final payment and they'll disappear and you try 1618 01:29:50,415 --> 01:29:52,175 Speaker 4: getting them back if they if they've already had their 1619 01:29:52,215 --> 01:29:55,575 Speaker 4: final payment. So I believe home oders need to hold 1620 01:29:56,855 --> 01:29:58,935 Speaker 4: if there was some sort of education thing. It's got 1621 01:29:58,975 --> 01:30:01,055 Speaker 4: to be from the get go from the council, I believe, 1622 01:30:01,135 --> 01:30:03,975 Speaker 4: because they do read through the consent packs when they 1623 01:30:04,055 --> 01:30:07,095 Speaker 4: get their building consent. I always tell my clients when 1624 01:30:07,135 --> 01:30:09,215 Speaker 4: they get their building consent because I've done all the plans, 1625 01:30:09,255 --> 01:30:12,575 Speaker 4: I have a read for the consent pack on everything, 1626 01:30:12,695 --> 01:30:16,735 Speaker 4: because they're little bits in there. There are miss and 1627 01:30:16,895 --> 01:30:19,335 Speaker 4: like getting your engineers to inspect as well. A lot 1628 01:30:19,375 --> 01:30:21,375 Speaker 4: of the time they missed this and the builder doesn't 1629 01:30:21,735 --> 01:30:25,455 Speaker 4: arrange the engineer, the private structural engineer as well to 1630 01:30:25,535 --> 01:30:27,295 Speaker 4: have a look. And then all of a sudden at 1631 01:30:27,335 --> 01:30:30,335 Speaker 4: the end the council's asking for the PS four producer 1632 01:30:30,415 --> 01:30:33,095 Speaker 4: statement and the homeowners going, oh, what the heck's that? 1633 01:30:33,335 --> 01:30:36,255 Speaker 4: I'm getting a call two years later. And then also 1634 01:30:36,335 --> 01:30:39,535 Speaker 4: a little bit guilty because they're using jargon that can 1635 01:30:39,615 --> 01:30:45,255 Speaker 4: panic the homeowner, like we're going to cancel yours. You 1636 01:30:45,295 --> 01:30:47,455 Speaker 4: know if you and I were if we got on 1637 01:30:47,495 --> 01:30:51,775 Speaker 4: the ticket for the next maryalty. People. I want to 1638 01:30:52,495 --> 01:30:54,015 Speaker 4: know where all all the problems are to. 1639 01:30:54,055 --> 01:30:57,095 Speaker 6: Point out something to be really clear for people. So 1640 01:30:57,855 --> 01:31:01,615 Speaker 6: a licensed building practitioner doing restricted building work has an 1641 01:31:01,615 --> 01:31:04,375 Speaker 6: obligation under the Act to provide a record of work 1642 01:31:04,455 --> 01:31:11,095 Speaker 6: or a memorandum of work, right, and they can't. Regardless, 1643 01:31:12,175 --> 01:31:16,135 Speaker 6: you can't withhold that in order to ensure payment. And 1644 01:31:16,575 --> 01:31:21,935 Speaker 6: I know someone an LBP who knew that, got that 1645 01:31:22,135 --> 01:31:24,015 Speaker 6: sense right that the client wasn't going to pay the 1646 01:31:24,055 --> 01:31:27,615 Speaker 6: final invoice, and so they said, well, we're not going 1647 01:31:27,735 --> 01:31:29,335 Speaker 6: to you know, I'm not going to give you a 1648 01:31:29,415 --> 01:31:31,575 Speaker 6: record of work for the work that I've done until 1649 01:31:31,615 --> 01:31:35,015 Speaker 6: you pay me. And the client went to the disciplinary board. 1650 01:31:35,095 --> 01:31:37,975 Speaker 6: The board investigated and find the guy two thousand dollars 1651 01:31:38,095 --> 01:31:41,375 Speaker 6: for withholding a record of work. Right, So it's really 1652 01:31:41,455 --> 01:31:44,415 Speaker 6: clear for us as LBPS, we must issue a record 1653 01:31:44,455 --> 01:31:46,615 Speaker 6: of work when required for the work that we've done. 1654 01:31:47,895 --> 01:31:51,335 Speaker 6: But look, to sum this up, I think I think 1655 01:31:51,375 --> 01:31:55,855 Speaker 6: it's really important that the home owners understand their responsibility 1656 01:31:55,935 --> 01:31:58,135 Speaker 6: in order to get it. The simplest thing to do 1657 01:31:58,295 --> 01:32:00,215 Speaker 6: is if you don't think you can do it, or 1658 01:32:00,255 --> 01:32:02,135 Speaker 6: you don't know enough about it, or you don't have 1659 01:32:02,255 --> 01:32:04,895 Speaker 6: the time to do it, or you're not interested or whatever, 1660 01:32:05,335 --> 01:32:08,135 Speaker 6: add it into the building contracts you've got with It 1661 01:32:08,255 --> 01:32:10,055 Speaker 6: could be with the designer. I mean, you could do 1662 01:32:10,135 --> 01:32:13,255 Speaker 6: it on behalf of a client. The LBP could do it. 1663 01:32:13,655 --> 01:32:15,815 Speaker 6: You know, a project manager could do it. Anyone could 1664 01:32:15,815 --> 01:32:18,855 Speaker 6: do it. You just hand the responsibility over, agree to 1665 01:32:19,295 --> 01:32:22,095 Speaker 6: the cost, and go right. It's your job. And if 1666 01:32:22,135 --> 01:32:24,455 Speaker 6: it's not your job, then it's ultimately going to be 1667 01:32:24,495 --> 01:32:25,335 Speaker 6: the homeowner's job. 1668 01:32:26,375 --> 01:32:27,935 Speaker 4: I'll hear your pete. Can I say one more thing 1669 01:32:27,975 --> 01:32:30,215 Speaker 4: before we go? I'll tell you what you talk about 1670 01:32:30,255 --> 01:32:34,255 Speaker 4: homeowners and educating them? How long is a licensed building practitioners? 1671 01:32:35,935 --> 01:32:36,095 Speaker 9: You know? 1672 01:32:37,295 --> 01:32:39,615 Speaker 4: How long has that been in place for trades people 1673 01:32:39,655 --> 01:32:41,815 Speaker 4: to be licensed? Been in place? What for fifteen years? 1674 01:32:41,815 --> 01:32:41,935 Speaker 5: Now? 1675 01:32:42,055 --> 01:32:42,215 Speaker 8: Yeah? 1676 01:32:42,215 --> 01:32:44,655 Speaker 6: I mean I got registered in twenty twelve, so that's 1677 01:32:44,695 --> 01:32:45,375 Speaker 6: thin end years ago. 1678 01:32:46,455 --> 01:32:46,735 Speaker 8: You know. 1679 01:32:47,455 --> 01:32:49,775 Speaker 4: Most now, I deal with hundreds of people, of course 1680 01:32:49,815 --> 01:32:52,215 Speaker 4: for a year, right who want to do alterations new builds. 1681 01:32:52,655 --> 01:32:55,455 Speaker 4: They most of them have no idea about a licensed 1682 01:32:55,455 --> 01:32:58,295 Speaker 4: building practitioner where to look if they have to be lighted. 1683 01:32:58,615 --> 01:33:03,615 Speaker 4: They still think a master builders a building practitioner. Now 1684 01:33:04,175 --> 01:33:04,775 Speaker 4: is it crazy? 1685 01:33:05,295 --> 01:33:05,495 Speaker 8: Yeah? 1686 01:33:05,535 --> 01:33:05,735 Speaker 6: I know? 1687 01:33:06,735 --> 01:33:09,135 Speaker 4: And they still go off as a good bloke, he 1688 01:33:09,655 --> 01:33:10,535 Speaker 4: good dog in the back. 1689 01:33:12,415 --> 01:33:15,175 Speaker 6: I hear yeah, I hear, yeah, I hear you. And 1690 01:33:15,255 --> 01:33:17,655 Speaker 6: that's why that's why we talk about and that's why 1691 01:33:17,695 --> 01:33:20,655 Speaker 6: I'll continue to sort of you know, talk about these 1692 01:33:20,735 --> 01:33:23,695 Speaker 6: other basics. Right, this is the stuff that everybody needs 1693 01:33:23,735 --> 01:33:27,295 Speaker 6: to know about what an LBP is, what restricted building workers, 1694 01:33:28,215 --> 01:33:31,055 Speaker 6: and hopefully what the CCC is. And you should feel 1695 01:33:31,055 --> 01:33:32,695 Speaker 6: really good about getting one at the end of the job. 1696 01:33:33,455 --> 01:33:35,815 Speaker 6: Good to talk with you. Always a pleasure. Seventeen minutes 1697 01:33:35,815 --> 01:33:36,935 Speaker 6: after eight back after. 1698 01:33:36,815 --> 01:33:40,615 Speaker 1: The break, helping you get those DIY projects done right. 1699 01:33:40,855 --> 01:33:45,895 Speaker 1: The resident builder with peta wolfcat call us talk said, be. 1700 01:33:46,975 --> 01:33:49,695 Speaker 6: Delightful, text Pete. Surely the highlight of the week was 1701 01:33:49,735 --> 01:33:51,655 Speaker 6: coming back to find your ute had a good old 1702 01:33:51,855 --> 01:33:57,415 Speaker 6: ykattow greeting on it. Yes, that was delightful. Not so 1703 01:33:58,295 --> 01:34:00,975 Speaker 6: went to field days on Friday, parked in the paddock 1704 01:34:01,055 --> 01:34:03,655 Speaker 6: like he now stares, ended up parking at the end 1705 01:34:03,695 --> 01:34:06,415 Speaker 6: of the line, and I suspect that I was the 1706 01:34:06,535 --> 01:34:08,575 Speaker 6: last one to park there because the patch next to 1707 01:34:08,655 --> 01:34:11,895 Speaker 6: me was quite sodden. Anyway, upon returning to the car 1708 01:34:12,455 --> 01:34:15,615 Speaker 6: at about sometime after five o'clock on the Friday, got 1709 01:34:15,695 --> 01:34:17,375 Speaker 6: up to the car and I'm looking thinking, oh, why 1710 01:34:17,415 --> 01:34:19,335 Speaker 6: can't I see through the windows to the other side. 1711 01:34:19,335 --> 01:34:22,575 Speaker 6: So I went round to the passenger side and without 1712 01:34:22,575 --> 01:34:24,655 Speaker 6: a word of a light, at least sixty percent of 1713 01:34:24,695 --> 01:34:27,215 Speaker 6: the car was covered in mud. It was on the roof, 1714 01:34:27,415 --> 01:34:29,575 Speaker 6: was on the bonnet, it was all over the doors, 1715 01:34:29,655 --> 01:34:32,375 Speaker 6: the windows, the side mirror of the whole lot. So 1716 01:34:32,495 --> 01:34:35,895 Speaker 6: someone had obviously had some fun in the in the 1717 01:34:36,255 --> 01:34:38,735 Speaker 6: mud pile or in the puddle next to the car. 1718 01:34:40,055 --> 01:34:42,095 Speaker 6: So that's my day to day. To be fair, I've 1719 01:34:42,135 --> 01:34:44,855 Speaker 6: been through two car washes. It still didn't take it off. 1720 01:34:45,695 --> 01:34:47,695 Speaker 6: The photos up on my Facebook page. If you're going 1721 01:34:47,735 --> 01:34:49,895 Speaker 6: to have look for a resident builder, you'll see it there. 1722 01:34:50,375 --> 01:34:53,135 Speaker 6: Have a chuckle on my behalf Muhammed, good morning. 1723 01:34:54,095 --> 01:34:58,735 Speaker 22: I'd be done, good money. I just wanted to know 1724 01:34:58,975 --> 01:35:03,095 Speaker 22: that people who were already built a two bedroom house 1725 01:35:03,255 --> 01:35:06,055 Speaker 22: a small one and they have worked a lounge unit, 1726 01:35:06,575 --> 01:35:10,175 Speaker 22: kitchen in, a toilet and bathroom and two bedroom, but 1727 01:35:10,375 --> 01:35:13,735 Speaker 22: it has not been approved previously. So what is the 1728 01:35:13,815 --> 01:35:16,535 Speaker 22: situation for them now? Do they still need to get 1729 01:35:16,575 --> 01:35:19,815 Speaker 22: that content or level automatically be consented. 1730 01:35:20,335 --> 01:35:24,895 Speaker 6: It will not automatically be consented. I emphasize this strongly 1731 01:35:25,055 --> 01:35:29,575 Speaker 6: because the current proposal to have up to seventy square 1732 01:35:29,655 --> 01:35:33,415 Speaker 6: meters built without a building consent is not law yet. 1733 01:35:34,535 --> 01:35:37,895 Speaker 6: So if you have built or have something that is 1734 01:35:37,935 --> 01:35:42,135 Speaker 6: a habitable structure, whatever size, and it doesn't have a 1735 01:35:42,175 --> 01:35:47,415 Speaker 6: building consent. That is a non consented, non compliant, illegal building, 1736 01:35:47,895 --> 01:35:51,295 Speaker 6: right in order to make it a legal building. You 1737 01:35:51,455 --> 01:35:54,935 Speaker 6: can't get a building consent for something that's already built. 1738 01:35:55,495 --> 01:35:59,095 Speaker 6: What you can try and do is get a certificate 1739 01:35:59,135 --> 01:36:02,095 Speaker 6: of acceptance. But in order to get that, you have 1740 01:36:02,295 --> 01:36:05,295 Speaker 6: to prove that the building complies with the building code. 1741 01:36:06,375 --> 01:36:09,855 Speaker 6: For example, if it's been built and you say it's 1742 01:36:09,895 --> 01:36:12,375 Speaker 6: got insulation, and you need to prove that. If you 1743 01:36:12,455 --> 01:36:15,815 Speaker 6: can't prove it, you'll need to do destructive testing to 1744 01:36:15,975 --> 01:36:19,615 Speaker 6: identify that the insulation is in place, that ere is 1745 01:36:19,615 --> 01:36:23,055 Speaker 6: a vapor barrier, that the electrical work is compliant, that 1746 01:36:23,135 --> 01:36:26,255 Speaker 6: the plumbing is compliant. I suspect it will cost you 1747 01:36:26,495 --> 01:36:30,175 Speaker 6: more to get a certificate of acceptance than it would 1748 01:36:30,415 --> 01:36:32,495 Speaker 6: if you had got a building consent in the first place. 1749 01:36:33,015 --> 01:36:37,175 Speaker 22: So when is this this is going to be. 1750 01:36:39,415 --> 01:36:42,455 Speaker 6: Is coming, but it won't cover buildings that are already built, 1751 01:36:43,375 --> 01:36:46,855 Speaker 6: so you can't You can't wait for the legislation to 1752 01:36:46,975 --> 01:36:49,335 Speaker 6: come in and then go, oh, by the way, I've 1753 01:36:49,375 --> 01:36:56,295 Speaker 6: got one, so that building will remain non compliant, right, right, OK, 1754 01:36:56,655 --> 01:37:03,095 Speaker 6: no trouble at all, Take care, right, Graham, Good morning, Graham, 1755 01:37:04,375 --> 01:37:04,775 Speaker 6: Good morning. 1756 01:37:07,135 --> 01:37:10,175 Speaker 9: I've just got a quick question. So I'm replacing a 1757 01:37:10,615 --> 01:37:14,215 Speaker 9: dechromatic tile roof with a long run roof and iron. Yep, 1758 01:37:15,495 --> 01:37:20,135 Speaker 9: Now I've got different quotes. And the difference between a 1759 01:37:20,215 --> 01:37:23,455 Speaker 9: point four milimeter and a point five five milimeter roofing 1760 01:37:23,455 --> 01:37:25,735 Speaker 9: and iron, Yes, I mean I understand one is obviously 1761 01:37:25,815 --> 01:37:28,855 Speaker 9: thicker than the other, and so forth. Is there any 1762 01:37:28,935 --> 01:37:33,135 Speaker 9: fishworks or anything I need to be aware of by 1763 01:37:33,295 --> 01:37:35,655 Speaker 9: using the thicker roofing iron? It just seems like a 1764 01:37:35,735 --> 01:37:38,055 Speaker 9: no brainer to use a thicker roof and iron, it's all. 1765 01:37:38,175 --> 01:37:39,175 Speaker 9: And I don't understand why. 1766 01:37:39,575 --> 01:37:43,135 Speaker 6: In terms of durability, there won't be a lot of difference, right, 1767 01:37:43,295 --> 01:37:45,015 Speaker 6: so in terms of how long it lasts and the 1768 01:37:45,055 --> 01:37:46,615 Speaker 6: thickness of the coating and all the rest of it. 1769 01:37:46,815 --> 01:37:50,455 Speaker 6: Where it can be an advantage is if someone gets 1770 01:37:50,495 --> 01:37:52,695 Speaker 6: on the roof and they have to go and service 1771 01:37:52,775 --> 01:37:54,975 Speaker 6: the TV aeriel or a flashing or something like that, 1772 01:37:55,135 --> 01:37:57,095 Speaker 6: and they stand in the wrong place and the world's 1773 01:37:57,095 --> 01:38:00,775 Speaker 6: full of muppets, then it will be a little bit stronger, 1774 01:38:01,855 --> 01:38:04,295 Speaker 6: you know, span between the perlins those sorts of things, 1775 01:38:05,175 --> 01:38:08,135 Speaker 6: that's all. And whether you get either one of those, 1776 01:38:08,215 --> 01:38:11,775 Speaker 6: it'll it'll still be the same. So I mean, I 1777 01:38:12,695 --> 01:38:15,975 Speaker 6: if the client can or if I can, I'll typically 1778 01:38:16,095 --> 01:38:18,255 Speaker 6: go for the point five to five just because it 1779 01:38:18,295 --> 01:38:20,455 Speaker 6: gives me that little bit of extra protection if someone 1780 01:38:20,535 --> 01:38:24,775 Speaker 6: stands in the wrong place. That's from my own experience. Yeah. 1781 01:38:24,895 --> 01:38:25,095 Speaker 4: Yeah. 1782 01:38:25,095 --> 01:38:26,695 Speaker 9: And I live out in the country, so we got 1783 01:38:26,735 --> 01:38:29,295 Speaker 9: resurrounded by trees and stuff too, so I've got to 1784 01:38:29,295 --> 01:38:30,735 Speaker 9: get up and clean of gutters every now and then 1785 01:38:30,775 --> 01:38:31,295 Speaker 9: and so forth. 1786 01:38:32,455 --> 01:38:32,695 Speaker 14: Yeah. 1787 01:38:32,975 --> 01:38:33,335 Speaker 6: Perfect. 1788 01:38:33,775 --> 01:38:37,375 Speaker 9: And the second thing was, I'm also getting a quote 1789 01:38:37,415 --> 01:38:41,895 Speaker 9: because I'm getting new new gathering and stuff, and I've 1790 01:38:41,935 --> 01:38:46,615 Speaker 9: had the external faces on this old house and so 1791 01:38:46,775 --> 01:38:49,815 Speaker 9: they're replacing that with the gutters on the outside of 1792 01:38:49,855 --> 01:38:56,775 Speaker 9: the great Now, I'm getting two different quotes, ones for 1793 01:38:57,015 --> 01:39:02,055 Speaker 9: color steel facia, once for a wooden facia other than looks, 1794 01:39:02,255 --> 01:39:06,255 Speaker 9: is there any difference between the two? The wood would 1795 01:39:06,375 --> 01:39:10,415 Speaker 9: last just as long as a color steel or in your. 1796 01:39:10,375 --> 01:39:13,695 Speaker 6: Experience, yeah, I mean, in terms of that sort of 1797 01:39:13,775 --> 01:39:17,895 Speaker 6: retrofit solution. So if you've got an existing internal spouting, 1798 01:39:18,055 --> 01:39:22,295 Speaker 6: you know, exposed facier type arrangement, there's a couple of 1799 01:39:22,335 --> 01:39:25,615 Speaker 6: companies that I know that have a system to substitute 1800 01:39:25,655 --> 01:39:29,015 Speaker 6: those and they would typically include a metal facier with 1801 01:39:29,175 --> 01:39:33,815 Speaker 6: an external spouting on it. So there's whereas if you 1802 01:39:33,855 --> 01:39:37,695 Speaker 6: were going for a timber facier, then typically the carpenter 1803 01:39:37,695 --> 01:39:39,575 Speaker 6: will have to come, They'll have to adjust the end 1804 01:39:39,615 --> 01:39:42,135 Speaker 6: of the rafters, they might have to redo the sfets 1805 01:39:42,135 --> 01:39:44,815 Speaker 6: and so forth, So it would be I would have 1806 01:39:44,855 --> 01:39:47,375 Speaker 6: thought it would have been considerably more expensive to do 1807 01:39:47,575 --> 01:39:51,375 Speaker 6: a timber facier than it would be to use one 1808 01:39:51,415 --> 01:39:55,975 Speaker 6: of those systems for retrofit for exterior spouting or internal spouting, 1809 01:39:56,855 --> 01:39:59,295 Speaker 6: So costwise, I would have thought it was cheaper. I guess. 1810 01:39:59,335 --> 01:40:00,895 Speaker 6: The other thing too, is that you know, if you 1811 01:40:00,975 --> 01:40:05,215 Speaker 6: do color steel as a external facia, then you know 1812 01:40:05,375 --> 01:40:08,935 Speaker 6: you won't be painting it five years time. Well, well 1813 01:40:09,375 --> 01:40:10,335 Speaker 6: it'll last a lot longer. 1814 01:40:10,415 --> 01:40:13,695 Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Well, because I was just thinking, well, 1815 01:40:13,775 --> 01:40:18,455 Speaker 9: it's going to be a cover steel roof or you know, 1816 01:40:18,615 --> 01:40:22,135 Speaker 9: like a long roof and iron the same with the 1817 01:40:23,295 --> 01:40:30,655 Speaker 9: gutting what they call it continuous Yeah yeah, yeah, and 1818 01:40:31,055 --> 01:40:35,255 Speaker 9: the external facial will be the same material to make 1819 01:40:35,295 --> 01:40:37,055 Speaker 9: it all look the same. That's what I would have assumed. 1820 01:40:37,055 --> 01:40:39,055 Speaker 9: That I've got different quotes of different materials. I just 1821 01:40:39,135 --> 01:40:40,935 Speaker 9: want to double check with you see if there's any 1822 01:40:41,695 --> 01:40:43,815 Speaker 9: anything I'm missing here, any any fish ups on? 1823 01:40:44,775 --> 01:40:47,255 Speaker 6: Seems like you've got it all in order, obviously when 1824 01:40:47,295 --> 01:40:51,295 Speaker 6: they take the dechroymastic off. And loath to mention this, 1825 01:40:51,455 --> 01:40:54,495 Speaker 6: but there was an issue or there was a statement 1826 01:40:54,575 --> 01:40:56,575 Speaker 6: issued by work Safe a number of years ago that 1827 01:40:56,815 --> 01:41:00,415 Speaker 6: some types of that sort of metal tile with the 1828 01:41:01,175 --> 01:41:03,615 Speaker 6: stone chip on it, which is basically dechromestic, and some 1829 01:41:03,775 --> 01:41:08,655 Speaker 6: others may have contained traces of asbestos so in ACM. 1830 01:41:09,495 --> 01:41:11,895 Speaker 6: In which case, have you had the roof tested? 1831 01:41:12,855 --> 01:41:15,095 Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, no, no, the roofing guys have been out 1832 01:41:15,135 --> 01:41:17,575 Speaker 9: there and taken us and I can't great did it's 1833 01:41:17,615 --> 01:41:20,495 Speaker 9: come back negative? Which is also I've had several several 1834 01:41:21,935 --> 01:41:24,095 Speaker 9: parts of the house done because I've got the white 1835 01:41:25,655 --> 01:41:28,415 Speaker 9: popcorn ceiling, which yeah, sure white is best, don't it. 1836 01:41:28,455 --> 01:41:28,775 Speaker 8: I can. 1837 01:41:29,015 --> 01:41:31,295 Speaker 9: Then of course then they said you better get your 1838 01:41:31,335 --> 01:41:32,135 Speaker 9: liner tested too. 1839 01:41:32,615 --> 01:41:32,815 Speaker 4: Yep. 1840 01:41:33,255 --> 01:41:35,495 Speaker 9: So yeah, I've been through that process a few times 1841 01:41:35,535 --> 01:41:38,375 Speaker 9: in the last year. Good on, good on you, but 1842 01:41:39,055 --> 01:41:39,895 Speaker 9: it's all good as well. 1843 01:41:40,615 --> 01:41:43,655 Speaker 6: Much appreciate it and enjoyed in you. And can I 1844 01:41:43,735 --> 01:41:46,935 Speaker 6: add in as well that sometimes you know, the removal 1845 01:41:47,015 --> 01:41:49,815 Speaker 6: of the roof allows an opportunity, perhaps just to check 1846 01:41:50,335 --> 01:41:53,615 Speaker 6: and adjust the insulation that's in there. So you know, 1847 01:41:53,775 --> 01:41:57,215 Speaker 6: often around the exterior of the building, around the perimeter 1848 01:41:57,375 --> 01:41:59,575 Speaker 6: of it, it can be a little bit tricky to 1849 01:41:59,615 --> 01:42:01,735 Speaker 6: get in there and do the insulation. So you know, 1850 01:42:01,895 --> 01:42:03,775 Speaker 6: either you jump in there or you get one of 1851 01:42:03,815 --> 01:42:05,895 Speaker 6: the guys to get in there and just have a 1852 01:42:05,935 --> 01:42:08,575 Speaker 6: look and make sure that these sufficient insulation. You could 1853 01:42:08,575 --> 01:42:10,815 Speaker 6: always top it up or that where it is there, 1854 01:42:10,895 --> 01:42:13,495 Speaker 6: that it's neatly laid and filling up all the gaps 1855 01:42:13,495 --> 01:42:16,255 Speaker 6: and so on. It's just a it's a value add right, 1856 01:42:16,335 --> 01:42:17,375 Speaker 6: you can that will give. 1857 01:42:17,255 --> 01:42:20,255 Speaker 9: You a lot of well, actually, on that note, because 1858 01:42:20,255 --> 01:42:22,695 Speaker 9: of the reason I'm getting done it because it's leaking. 1859 01:42:23,695 --> 01:42:27,175 Speaker 9: I'll bet a build or any any dead you're you're 1860 01:42:27,215 --> 01:42:30,415 Speaker 9: roof leaking, I can set on your ceiling. I mean, okay, 1861 01:42:30,495 --> 01:42:31,615 Speaker 9: that's not good. And then you went up and had 1862 01:42:31,655 --> 01:42:33,095 Speaker 9: a look any city, I can see where it's leaking. 1863 01:42:33,975 --> 01:42:37,055 Speaker 9: So if it's been leaking for a few years onto 1864 01:42:37,975 --> 01:42:41,775 Speaker 9: this got reinsulated perhaps seven six or seven years ago 1865 01:42:42,015 --> 01:42:47,295 Speaker 9: before COVID, Right, if it's been leaking, it's been water 1866 01:42:47,455 --> 01:42:49,535 Speaker 9: on it, is that going to affect the insulation. 1867 01:42:50,975 --> 01:42:53,535 Speaker 6: It depends a little bit on what type of insulation, 1868 01:42:53,655 --> 01:42:57,855 Speaker 6: it was. Different types of insulation will respond differently to 1869 01:42:57,975 --> 01:43:02,215 Speaker 6: being exposed to moisture. What you're what you're really looking 1870 01:43:02,295 --> 01:43:04,735 Speaker 6: for is has the loft gone out of it? So 1871 01:43:04,895 --> 01:43:07,575 Speaker 6: if it looks like it's compress or to be fair, 1872 01:43:07,655 --> 01:43:10,095 Speaker 6: if you touch it and it's damp, then that might 1873 01:43:10,175 --> 01:43:13,535 Speaker 6: be an opportunity to replace some of that. But in general, 1874 01:43:13,775 --> 01:43:16,255 Speaker 6: if you've put it well, no, if the insulation is 1875 01:43:16,255 --> 01:43:17,975 Speaker 6: seven or eight years old, it should still have a 1876 01:43:18,015 --> 01:43:20,495 Speaker 6: reasonable amount of loft. So ideally what you're looking for 1877 01:43:21,055 --> 01:43:22,655 Speaker 6: is you want sort of around one hundred and twenty 1878 01:43:22,735 --> 01:43:26,055 Speaker 6: hundred and thirty millimeters of insulation on top of your ceiling. 1879 01:43:26,215 --> 01:43:26,975 Speaker 6: That'll be ideal. 1880 01:43:27,215 --> 01:43:29,575 Speaker 9: If and if it's been damp and it's compressed and 1881 01:43:29,655 --> 01:43:32,375 Speaker 9: it's lost its springs bus, it's. 1882 01:43:32,295 --> 01:43:35,055 Speaker 6: Like yeah, and you may not need to replace it 1883 01:43:35,175 --> 01:43:37,015 Speaker 6: as long as it doesn't look like it's got mold 1884 01:43:37,095 --> 01:43:39,135 Speaker 6: growth and it's not damp. If it just looks like 1885 01:43:39,255 --> 01:43:41,615 Speaker 6: it's compressed, you could just add a little layer over 1886 01:43:41,655 --> 01:43:44,415 Speaker 6: the top to get you back up to that ideal thickness. 1887 01:43:45,535 --> 01:43:48,295 Speaker 9: Ah good Ideah, Okay, that's great aori mate. 1888 01:43:48,335 --> 01:43:50,135 Speaker 6: Now I've talked to you all the best take care. 1889 01:43:50,615 --> 01:43:53,695 Speaker 6: All right, yoh, we're just gone eight thirty. Let's change gear, 1890 01:43:53,775 --> 01:43:56,175 Speaker 6: let's get into the garden. A red climb past is 1891 01:43:56,535 --> 01:43:58,655 Speaker 6: on the line, ready to go.
