KEY CHANGES IN EFFECT NOW

• Changes to the types of work that do not require a building consent (under Schedule 1).

• Higher penalties for doing building work without the appropriate consents.

- The maximum penalty for building, altering, demolishing or removing buildings, without the appropriate consent, has increased from $100,000 to $200,000.

- The infringement fee for doing building work without consent has increased from $750 to $1000.

• There have been some changes to sections dealing with alterations to existing buildings and change of use, to make the intention clear.

• Councils have more powers to restrict entry to buildings that may be near dangerous buildings.

• The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) has more power to hold building consent authorities to account.

KEY CHANGES IN 2014

New consumer protection measures come into effect in late 2014. The aim is to encourage a professional, no-surprises relationship between you and your customers, and enable homeowners to make informed decisions about building work on their homes. The regulations include:

• You will have to have a written contract for building work over a certain amount;

• You will be required to give customers information about your credentials - skills, qualifi cations, licensing status etcetera.

• You can be fi ned if you don’t comply with the law.

• There will be an automatic 12 month ‘defect repair period’ when you will have to fi x any defects that the customer has told you about ‘no questions asked’.

• There are new remedies for breaches of implied warranties in the Building Act i.e. if the breach is substantial the customer can cancel the contract immediately.

WHAT DOES THE BUILDING AMENDMENT ACT 2013 MEAN FOR YOU?The Building Amendment Act 2013 became law in November 2013. Some changes come into force immediately and some will come into e� ect in 2014.

MBIE will consult with the building sector while developing regulations and circulate information before the regulations come into effect. Watch out for the information. Knowing your responsibilities helps you to manage risk.

THE MAINZEAL COLLAPSE ONE YEAR ONMainzeal Property and Construction Limited was placed into receivership on 6th February 2013. A year on from that and the situation is clearer and closer to a resolution for unsecured creditors, but not by much.

WAITING FOR MAINZEALAfter selling off Mainzeal’s assets the company’s secured creditors will probably get their money back. However, about $70m is still owed to unsecured trade creditors, $51m of which is for work done and $19m is retentions. Mainzeal’s liquidators are now chasing China-based shareholders over some related party loans that were transferred to Mainzeal prior to its collapse. If the courts agree these transactions were invalid there could be up to $70m in money available to pay Mainzeal creditors, some of which will fl ow to former sub-contractors who are still owed money. This action is being blocked by the related companies, but without this money unsecured trade creditors will see very little of what they’re owed.

PREVENTIONTrade bodies have been lobbying the government to improve security of payment and retentions for sub-contractors. One such proposal would empower sub-contractors to provide a bond instead of having retentions withheld from their payment claims. Another would make it mandatory for contracts to specify how payments will be secured. This could take the form of a separate trust account, third party guarantees, insurance, bonds, letters of credit or liens on property.

As a result of this lobbying from the industry the Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment is giving priority to addressing the issues of retentions and security of payment for sub-contractors. The Minister has now acknowledged the problem and it is hoped that a legislative solution will be put forward in 2014. Without changes to the law it’s very hard to see how the current “balance of power” between main contractors and their subbies can be shifted.

In the meantime, builders should consider the protection provided by Builtin’s Sub-contractors Payment Guarantee cover, which pays 75% of what’s owed to a sub-contractor when a main contractor goes bust.

S

WHY WE HAVE SKILL MAINTENANCE• Skill Maintenance adds to the credibility of

the LBP scheme. By keeping up to date with industry changes you are showing the Registrar and members of the public that you are remaining professionally competent.

• The purpose of developing a Skill Maintenance programme for LBPs is to provide a mechanism for developing a sector that is competent, innovative and productive with the right skills and knowledge to meet the needs of the sector.

FOUR ‘CATEGORIES OF LEARNING’ AND WHATTHEY INCLUDE• The Skill Maintenance ‘categories of learning’

are – Technical skills and knowledge, Regulatory knowledge; Workplace safety and Professional development.

• LBPs can personalise their learning activities in their licence class to suit their immediate and/or future skills needs.

HOW TO FIND SKILL MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES• Learning occurs in many different ways, included

day-to-day work, interaction with peers, and structured education programmes/workshops.

• Government funded organisations (MBIE; ACC; BRANZ); Industry organisations (ADNZ; AWCI; BBFNZ; BOINZ; CBANZ; CCANZ; DINZ; DANZ; Master Plasterers; RANZ; RMB) and suppliers (Timber merchant; Roofi ng suppliers; Product and tool suppliers) are good avenues to fi nd out about good quality structured learning.

FOCUS ON LEARNING RATHER THAN THEACTIVITY • Current competence requires continuous

learning/up-skilling to keep up to date with current best building practice, technology and regulatory change. The proposed framework is therefore based on LBPs evidence of what they have learned, related to their licence class, which demonstrates they are currently up to date and therefore currently competent.

• The proposed framework enables LBPs to record what they have learned, and the learning activity to demonstrate current knowledge and skills. LBPs will also be able to comment on how this learning has impacted on their practice, which demonstrates they are focussed on improving their skills and knowledge.

MAINTAIN YOUR SKILLSThe LBP rules require that every second year the Registrar reassesses your competency. You must show you have at least maintained your knowledge and skills against the minimum licensing standards.

Technical Skills and knowledge

Understanding proposed changes to B1 (Structure); Keeping up to date with new products and application methods;

Regulatory knowledge

Keeping up to date with current Building Act amendments; Construction contract Act changes; Refreshing knowledge of Resource Management act process

Workplace Safety

Understanding edge protection requirements; Site Hazard management training; CPR/First aid training

Professional development

Learning how to use new invoicing system to streamline paperwork; Researching ways to improve ordering; Learning to upload photos from Site to computer storage.

S From hands-on-the-tools training and seminars through to business management and marketing, trade associations provide valuable support for builders at every level.

Here’s a summary of some of the benefi ts they can provide:

HELPING YOUR BUSINESSIs your rate competitive? Are your mark-ups fair? A trade association can provide guidance on establishing your charge out rates, margins, business costs and overheads, and provide advice on all aspects of your operation including:• General business, accounting and tax • Employment • Contractual issues• Business-related legal issues• Health and safety

Many of the services provided can be accessed on line or through telephone helplines, while a lot of new members elect to discuss their needs face to face with specialist trade association consultants.

THE RIGHT CONTRACTThe days of doing business on the basis of a handshake are well and truly over. And while experienced builders know what contract works best for them, younger builders who are setting up in business for the fi rst time usually struggle in this area.

The building trade associations have invested considerable time with legal and building industry experts in developing standardised contract forms specifi cally for builders and trades people.

STANDARD CONTRACTS INCLUDE:• Cost reimbursement• Design & build• Full build• Labour only• Small works• Sub-contractors• Employment contracts

TRUSTED GUARANTEES In recent years, people planning a building project have become increasingly sensitive to potential problems that can occur during the building process, and are seeking more robust guarantees.

TRADE ASSOCIATIONS PROVIDE A RANGE OF BUILDING GUARANTEES INCLUDING:• New Home• Alterations & additions • Labour only • Loss of deposit • Commercial defects• Watertight warranty for leaky home repairs• Non-completion • Defective workmanship • Defective materials

MARKETING SUPPORTThere’s a good chance that you have seen advertisements on television and in print media about the advantages of choosing a builder who belongs to a recognised trade association.This publicity gives members a marketing edge when competing with non-aligned builders. A trade association endorsement gives customers greater security and confi dence in the builder.Trade associations can also provide members with promotional assistance and marketing support including signage, website development and customised stationery.

KEEPING ONE STEP AHEADThe one constant thing about building is that things are ever changing. New regulations, new products, new trade practices, better ways of working.

With regular newsletters and email alerts, trade associations provide members with important information and updates about the building industry. They also run regular seminars and road shows throughout the country to provide hands-on demonstrations and simple tutorials about important issues.

MEMBERSHIP DISCOUNTSOther benefi ts available to members include signifi cant discounts on a range of products and services, including:• Fuel• Telephone• Whiteware• Tyres• Rental car• Vehicle fl eet• Insurance

SHOULD YOU JOIN UP?Many builders in New Zealand are fully signed up members of a trade association, and believe it gives them a signifi cant edge in their business. According to one builder, it also means “the bureaucrats get to hear what’s really happening at the coalface so they don’t continue making stupid decisions.”

77

SUPPORTING YOUR INDUSTRYTrade associations work closely with technical training institutions and actively support apprenticeship programmes.

They also maintain regular dialogue with building industry regulators including the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (the old Department of Building and Housing), BRANZ and other authorities, to make sure that practical industry experience is taken account of.

For example, the Reserve Bank has agreed to consider reviewing its recent policy about high loan to value ratios for homebuyers thanks to submissions by building trade associations.

Being a member of a trade association means you can add your voice to industry concerns and get effective representation of your views at the highest possible level.

THE ITM FACELIFT IS WELL UNDERWAYThe striking new black and yellow colour scheme for ITM continues to roll out across the country. Here are a few examples from stores and vehicles that have recently undergone the makeover.

1. PROMOTE GOOD FLOW

It may seem simple but ensuring the water fl ows towards the outlet is essential to the performance of your spouting and downpipe system!

When installing the brackets use a string line to ensure a fall of at least 5mm per 10m of spouting towards the outlet.

Ponding water due to a lack of fall places additional pressure on the brackets and joins in the system. This creates the potential for leaks.

2. SUPPORT THE SPOUTING

Marley uPVC spouting and downpipe systems are extremely durable and will reliably perform to a high standard when installed correctly.

Ensure maximum 500mm spacing (internal or external brackets) so spouting is supported during peak loads.

For high wind zones or areas prone to snowfall reduce the spacing further to 300mm.

3. ACCOMMODATE THERMAL MOVEMENT

Spouting systems will expand and contract as they are constantly exposed to daily and seasonal temperature cycles. ‘Uncontrolled’ thermal movement can cause spouting creep or place stress on joints, both of which can result in unwanted leaks over time.

• Use Marley Expansion Outlets/Joiners to provide relief points

• Control the direction of movement by screwing the spouting to the fascia at the opposite end to the outlet

NB. See Marley Stratus Design Series Installation guide for details

4. REGULAR MAINTENANCE

Marley uPVC spouting and downpipe systems will never rust and therefore require less maintenance than other materials, especially in coastal locations. However regular maintenance is still required to ensure long term performance and looks:

• Performance – regularly clear spouting and downpipes of leaves and debris.

• Aesthetics – once a year wash exterior of spouting and downpipes with warm soapy water and a soft bristled brush or cloth, rinse with cold water.

5. DIVERT THE DEBRIS

Leaves and debris can cause blockages in the spouting, downpipe or even stormwater system. This can result in an overfl owing gutter or drains with messy consequences!

Marley offers a range of debris diversion products to fi lter water and help avoid these types of blockages. Two of the most popular options are:

• Marley Outlet Strainer – prevents large debris, balls from entering and blocking the downpipe

• Marley Leafslide® - Diverts leaves/debris but allows water to fl ow into downpipe. Also available in Copper and Titanium to match the Marley Stratus Design Series®.

It pays to tread carefully when giving an estimate, so these are the rules you should follow:

Typically, estimates are only given in charge-up or cost reimbursement jobs. An estimate is your best guess of what the labour, materials and your margin is going to end up costing the client once you get to the end. Usually you charge on a cost reimbursement basis when the scope of the work is uncertain or you don’t know what you are going to encounter during the course of the project. In those cases it would be too risky to offer a fi xed price, and it is the client who takes the risk of a budget blowout. But at least the client is getting exactly what he is paying for – no more and no less – so he ends up with the equivalent value for the overspend.

If instead you’re doing a fi xed price job then instead of an estimate you will give what is known as a “quote”, which is a binding commitment to do the work for an agreed amount, subject to adjustments for variations, cost fl uctuations, and

PC sums or provisional sums. Be careful when you use the term “quote” and don’t confuse it with the detailed scope of works on which your quote or estimate is based. If you are not offering to do the work for a fi xed sum, then it isn’t a quote.

CAREFUL ESTIMATES ARE IMPORTANTOn a charge-up job it is quite natural and reasonable for the client to ask for an estimate at the outset. They need to budget for the project and ensure they have enough funds on hand. If it is more than they can afford, then they may want to make modifi cations, or possibly abandon the project altogether. So it is important for the estimate to be as accurate as possible.

On the other hand, you don’t have a crystal ball. Unless the scope of work is certain, estimating the eventual cost of it is a matter of guesswork and speculation. And you know from experience that even the most carefully prepared estimate can turn out to be wildly pessimistic or optimistic. So it would obviously be unreasonable to hold

There is a widely held belief that when you give a client an estimate of the likely total cost of the project, you can’t end up charging any more than 10% above that estimate. That is rubbish.

CAN YOU EXCEED AN ESTIMATE BY MORE THAN 10%?

Geoff Hardy has 37 years’ experience as a commercial lawyer and is the senior lawyer in the Auckland fi rm “Madison Hardy”. He guarantees personal attention to new clients at competitive rates. His phone number is (09) 379 0700, fax (09) 379 0504, and email [email protected]. This article is not intended to be relied upon as legal advice.

But it is very important not to be complacent about estimates, because they are like a hand grenade with the pin pulled out.

Courts are very unforgiving if you have failed to alert your client as soon as you knew or ought to have known that a budget blowout was coming.

you to your estimate, and require you to make a free donation to the client of tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of free building work and materials. After all, if the intention was to commit you to a set amount, you would have used a fi xed price contract in the fi rst place, rather than a charge-up contract, and you would have added in a large contingency sum for factors outside your control.

By and large, the New Zealand Courts, arbitrators and adjudicators acknowledge this. They will hold the parties to the terms of the contract and recognise the builder’s entitlement to be reimbursed for all labour and materials that were reasonably necessary to complete the job effi ciently, plus the agreed margin. But there is a limit.

THERE IS NO SPECIFIC PERCENTAGE LIMITThere have been a couple of New Zealand cases (one in 2007 and one in 2012) that have suggested that the fi nal price must be reasonably close to the estimate, and that the permitted overrun is 10%, or alternatively 33%. But both of those statements were merely throwaway lines by the Judge that weren’t meant to carry a lot of weight. None of the other more carefully reasoned judgments said anything of the sort.

In fact the most recent case in 2013 expressly rejected that notion. It distinguished between the situations where you are giving a “near-quote” estimate for a known scope of work (in which case the fi nal price for that work needs to be close to the estimate), and situations where you are giving a best-guess prediction of the likely cost of an uncertain scope of work, that is to be charged for (by agreement) on a time and materials basis.

In the latter situation you are entitled to be paid every last dollar, assuming you haven’t made errors in your timekeeping or invoicing, you haven’t charged for rectifying your own mistakes, and you haven’t worked ineffi ciently or done more than you were required to do. But it is very important not to be complacent about estimates, because they are like a hand grenade with the pin pulled out. There are two different laws (contract and tort) and four different Acts of Parliament that can hold you accountable for your estimate if you are casual about it. Here are some guidelines about what to do and what not to do.

HOW TO MANAGE THE RISK OF ESTIMATINGFirst, if your client is disputing your charges and has taken the Dispute to one of the Disputes Tribunals (small claims courts throughout the country) you are not guaranteed the same strict application of the law that you get from a Judge, arbitrator or adjudicator. In fact many of the Referees in the Disputes Tribunals aren’t legally trained, they are not strictly bound by the law, and they can and frequently do override the terms of the building contract.

Secondly, never ever give an estimate simply by word of mouth. Always promptly record in writing what your estimate was, what scope of work it related to, and what qualifi cations or tags it was subject to. Always emphasise in writing that the estimate is only your best guess at the time, and is not intended to be legally binding. And always use a sophisticated, written building contract that clearly spells out the basis on which you are entitled to charge for your work.

If you follow the above safeguards and you haven’t been careless about the way you calculated your estimate, then you should be able to recover your full charges - but with one important exception.Remember that your client has genuine needs as

well. He doesn’t have a money tree and he can’t simply pluck money out of the air when the fi nal price comes in at 50% or 100% more than he was budgeting for. While the Courts are prepared to uphold charge-up contracts, they are very unforgiving if you have failed to alert your client as soon as you knew or ought to have known that a budget blowout was coming.

This is critical. It is your job to keep the client regularly updated on the mounting cost, so that he can downsize the project (or in some cases even abandon it) if he won’t be able to afford the full monty. In your project management or contract administration, make this an absolute priority.

WHAT IS CODEMARK?It is proof of Product Certifi cation from the Department of Building and Housing and shows that a building product or system meets the requirements of the Building Code - as long as it is used as specifi ed.

A CodeMark certifi ed product or construction method must be accepted by any building consent authority as complying with the Building Code. Firth RibRaft® is the only fl oor or foundation system to be awarded CodeMark. In the case of the Firth RibRaft® Foundation System a draughtsman or architect can design a RibRaft® fl oor by using the RibRaft® Technical Manual to follow the steps of its ‘site check’ and ‘building check’.

SITE CHECKA key factor in the site check is verifying that ground conditions meeting the defi nition of good ground under NZS3604. In almost every case RibRaft® offers the added benefi t of coping with a lower allowable bearing capacity than a 3604 foundation.

BUILDING CHECKThe RibRaft® Technical Manual asks some basic questions about the dimensions and loads on the RibRaft® - all familiar concepts for an experienced designer.

For the majority of houses being built in New Zealand getting the benefi ts of a RibRaft® Foundation System is easier than ever; and as long as the designer is satisfi ed that the site and the structure built on the RibRaft® meet the conditions of the RibRaft® Technical Manual then specifi c design isn’t required.

Note: This means that a consulting engineer is not required for the design and a PS1 will not be needed.

SAFETY

TIPS FOR RUNNING TOOLBOX TALK SAFETY MEETINGSToolbox meetings are a way for safety information to be provided to workers, and for workers to have their say. Here are some tips for getting the most out of your meetings.

An important and current duty placed on employers under the Health and Safety in Employment Act 1992 is to provide staff with opportunities to participate in safety activities.

WHY RUN A TOOLBOX TALK SAFETY MEETING? Toolbox meetings are a perfect chance to:• Get all employees to participate• Inform workers of changes to company

procedures and processes• Identify new hazards and review existing

hazards and controls• Discuss accident and incidents• Discuss new plant or equipment on site• Get site and company leaders involved and

engaged to increase morale and the health and safety culture

• Congratulate and praise safe behaviour on site• Have an interactive training session• Have a friendly catch up.

Discussion points at safety meetings should be recorded and saved, and should be relevant to current activities in the workplace.

STRUCTURE OF MEETINGS • Toolbox talk meetings should be short, to the

point and run for about 10-15 minutes. • Signifi cantly hazardous activities will require

daily meetings, while often a weekly/fortnightly meeting is suffi cient.

• Try and hold the meeting somewhere free of distractions so that everyone can focus.

RECORD AND FILE MEETING MINUTES Make sure you record meeting dates, attendees and their signatures, all discussion items, and any actions from the meeting.

Site Safe’s free downloadable Site Specifi c Safety Plan has a toolbox meeting minute template

for you to use – head to www.sitesafe.org.nz to download.

KEEP IT REALTo encourage everyone to join in and provide their own feedback, knowledge and experiences, the most important thing is to keep the meeting ‘real’. Use simple language for everyone to understand and include real life experiences and stories to convey the key health and safety messages.

REMEMBER TO BE POSITIVERemember that toolbox talk meetings are an opportunity to provide positive feedback for safe actions, hard work and great initiatives. During the meeting it’s also important to avoid criticism and acknowledge everyone for their contributions. The meeting shouldn’t be a lecture, but rather a chance for engagement with you and your staff.

So stirred up from watching the stray-lining action from the fi rst episode we ever made a decade ago, I got on the phone to Kerren (who made that fi rst episode with me) and we arranged the reunion to see if we could re-live our former glory of hauling big snapper out of the rocky shallows at the Cavalli Islands. I then contacted the other member of the trio from episode one, Brandon. “Hey bro, you still got your TLD15” to which he replied “Yeah bro, was out slaying snapper with it on the weekend”.

DÉJÀ VU 10 YEARS LATER So ten years on we set out to the same spot, with the same gear we used a decade prior, it was a bit banged up, but still in perfect working order (I reckon that’s a pretty good endorsement for Shimano reels!) Remember, this was before the show ever existed, and there we were on a Stabicraft powered by Evinrude and Furuno gear was used to fi nd the fi sh. While this gear was all now far advanced from earlier models, the method was exactly the same as in episode one. We caught our own bait, piper, mackerel and kahawai and fl oated the baits down a burley trail, but this time we used my favorite salmon burley and supplemented it with some kina we grabbed on a freedive.

IT WAS EVEN BETTER THAN THE FIRSTTo tell you how it all went would be to give too much away before the episode screens, but I will say it was better than the fi rst time, both in terms

of fi sh numbers and average size. While we didn’t have a giant snapper eat a live kahawai whole, we did get some quite incredible footage of snapper nailing our baits from some all new angles. Better yet, it’s all in HD, the camera technology and our experience with fi lming has improved too. But one thing that hasn’t changed, my absolute favorite way to catch a big snapper is stray-lining in the shallows.
