Neighbourhoods: In New Zealand, the focus has largely been on delivering individual dwellings rather than building quality, liveable neighbourhoods. This is shifting, however, as the amount of medium-density housing increases.
Maintenance: The BRANZ House Condition Survey regularly finds that our homes are poorly maintained. All buildings need to be maintained, and the longer this is put off the more it will eventually cost.
