Value houses on performance
Property sector participants have become more aware of building issues like insulation and weathertightness in the wake of the leaky homes crisis
The Block NZ’s veteran foreman, Peter Wolfkamp, told last week’s Property Institute conference that, for this reason, people are, increasingly, asking questions about how well a house is built in terms of performance.
For example, they want to know about quality construction, insulation, weathertightness, and heating.
Wolfkamp said New Zealanders have come to expect warmer, drier, easier to heat and safer homes.
“Hopefully, the quality of building work will raise to meet expectations as the performance of our houses has been constrained by the Kiwi no.8 wire mentality which has not served our families well.”
