Product Description
The report examines how exceeding the minimum is understood and its benefits are evaluated within the market. It also examines how the building and construction industry evaluates its own practices around exceeding the minimum. A nationwide industry survey was conducted to gain an understanding of current industry practices relating to exceeding the minimum. Architects and designers were the main influencers in helping to exceed the minimum within building projects. Our building industry survey outlined that exceeding the minimum is something that certain parts of the industry are attempting to change because of a core belief in wanting to improve the health of New Zealanders. The report outlines some recommendations for targeted initiatives and future research to encourage exceeding the minimum within the residential housing market.
