Nick Clements: YourQS Author on the Government overestimating the cost for new home insulation standards
Update: 2024-09-17
Description
A new report has found Government vastly overestimated the cost of new home insulation standards.
Building and Construction Minister Chris Penk is considering rolling back the H1 insulation requirements brought in last year amid reports they add up to $40 thousand to build costs.
But research by New Zealand Certified Builders and others, shows the requirements can add as little as $2,200 to the cost of a three-bedroom house.
Research author Nick Clements told Ryan Bridge the Government's approach looked at the very maximum, which isn't realistic.
He says they instead looked at the minimum they could do to meet the standard.
