Olly Sundstrum: GJ Gardner General Manager on the Government's proposed building consents scheme

The Mike Hosking Breakfast

The Government’s proposed building consents scheme is being hailed as a ‘common sense’ approach by one construction company.

Qualified tradespeople will also be able to forego inspections for low risk builds through the opt in 'self-certification scheme'.

Businesses with a track record of delivering bigger projects will be able to access streamlined consenting.

GJ Gardner General Manager Olly Sundstrum told Mike Hosking with this scheme, they could deliver homes 50% more quickly.

He says they could easily return to this because product, material, and labour supply are not an issue.
