The Government is changing the Building Act to address a shortage of building supplies and long wait-times for new products to be approved. 

That includes signing-off on products with a reputable overseas certification and recognising approval schemes used in countries like Australia. 

Building and Construction Minister Chris Penk says it will ease building costs and make our building products better. 

Julien Leys, CEO of the New Zealand Building Industry Federation, told Kerre Woodham that it’s going to make a big change in the construction industry. 

He said that while it isn’t building 100,000 new homes, it is helping those homes get built faster and more cost effectively.
