A campaign to improve quality in the building sector will bring better accountability in the wake of the leaky homes scandal and encourage better standards of design and construction.

From March 1, most residential construction work which already requires building consents will need to be done by licensed building practitioners.

The Department of Building and Housing has launched a two-year campaign which is aimed at improving the quality of building in New Zealand and increasing the confidence of consumer.
