1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,200 Speaker 1: Government are having a look at our insulation rules, so 2 00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: MB they've been asked to investigate a standard known as 3 00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,320 Speaker 1: H one. The thinking is the industry is suggesting apparently 4 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 1: current laws lead to overheating, too much insulation, new builds 5 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:12,840 Speaker 1: of fifty thousand dollars more expensive than they need to 6 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:16,200 Speaker 1: be in Z Certified Builders CEO Malcolm Flemings with us 7 00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 1: on this Malcolm morning, Good morning here, Mike. What's H 8 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:21,640 Speaker 1: one is fewer pink bats or what. 9 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,280 Speaker 2: H one is a variety of things, But first of all, 10 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 2: Certified Builders support H one stands ventilation and they're all 11 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,240 Speaker 2: back which has a bit of proposed would under changes 12 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:37,879 Speaker 2: that are making the building liverpool and sustainable. Where you 13 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,600 Speaker 2: can meet with the monster. Recently the offer ways to 14 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,840 Speaker 2: reduce building costs were without reversing the most effective components 15 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,839 Speaker 2: of attline requirements which are now accepted and adopted by 16 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 2: the construction industry. 17 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,519 Speaker 1: Right, so H one's good. We can live with H one. 18 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: If we went to H one, we'd save money in 19 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: alls well. 20 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 2: When looking at it costs. It's quite important that I've 21 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 2: been talking to members in the last couple of parts 22 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 2: about this and some of are quite upset one of 23 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 2: them recently told the Glass for examples, in an eighte 24 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 2: hundred and fifty thousand dollars build, which is a live 25 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:16,039 Speaker 2: build in Auckland, there's about ten k of cost association 26 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:20,680 Speaker 2: with H one. Members are typically telling me for standards 27 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 2: house it's in the tens of twenty k. When will 28 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 2: say about forty percent on heading costs. That's a relatively 29 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 2: small upfront investment for significant long term game. I think 30 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 2: it's the point of I hope that significant investment has 31 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,759 Speaker 2: been made by government and industry to ensure that builders 32 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 2: were prepared for the H one adoption date in May 33 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 2: twenty twenty three. Manufacturers have also invested heavily, and new 34 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 2: plant for machinery was required to produce window frames to 35 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 2: accommodate firmly efficient class required by the new removing H 36 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,559 Speaker 2: one and DOOS. Much of that investment by business. 37 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: Okay, So are we heading in the right direction or not? 38 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 2: I think we're getting the right direction with H one 39 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 2: and our sponsor to Bildlely. Just with the power Powers agreement, 40 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 2: we getting warm homes. A lot of costs to ramos 41 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 2: homes go forward. We're going back to where we were 42 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,119 Speaker 2: two three years ago as a backward stamp, and there's 43 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 2: also seems a low confidence from business to government in 44 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 2: regard to we've been asked to produce laps skill and 45 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 2: provide the machinery to be other do all us. 46 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:30,799 Speaker 1: You don't know where you're at. 47 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 2: You don't know where we're at. 48 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 1: Yeah, no consistency. I get it, malcolmppreciate it very much. 49 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 1: Malcolm Fleming the New Zealand Certified Builders Operation Morning Mike. 50 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,079 Speaker 1: Rates will never go down. Councils do whatever they're like, Andrew, 51 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: you're right and you're wrong. Rates only play. Everything's weighted 52 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 1: in the inflation story. So counsel, think about your economy. 53 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: Your economy's money comes into the house and money goes 54 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: out of the house. How much money goes out of 55 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: the house to rates versus money it goes out of 56 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: the house to the power bill and the insurance and 57 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: your food and you're driving a big car and all 58 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: that sort of stuff. So, yes, councils are a problem, yes, 59 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 1: and durance is a problem. But they alone are not 60 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: weighted heavily enough to affect the overall economy in a 61 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: way that would prevent the resume bank from moving. 62 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 2: For more from the mic Asking Breakfast. 63 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: Listen live to news talks at B from six am weekdays, 64 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: or follow the podcast on iHeartRadio
