With interest rates falling and the building industry stabilising, now is a prime opportunity to start your home build or add a supplementary dwelling. Take advantage of lower costs and faster project timelines to create the home or investment property you've always wanted in Hawke's Bay.

The New Zealand Government is proposing changes to the rules for building supplementary dwellings, allowing homeowners to construct up to 60 square metres without needing building consent. This change, expected by mid-next year, aims to simplify the process and reduce costs, while still requiring compliance with the Building Code. Buildmac, as licensed building practitioners, can help you design and build your new space, ensuring everything meets regulations. Learn more about the potential cost and time savings, updated boundary rules, and how these changes could benefit you.
