Keep up-to-date with Building Law in New Zealand

The Building Act 2004 fully came into force on 31 March 2005 and introduced a new framework for the regulation of building work, established a licensing regime for building practitioners, and set performance standards for buildings. The Building Act 2004 repeals the Building Act 1991 and represents a major change for those working in the building industry.

Building Law in New Zealand is now available in looseleaf, CD and online formats. This comprehensive new work gives in-depth coverage of the 2004 Act and related legislation, and includes annotated commentary from a team of expert authors.

Building Law in New Zealand is a must-have resource if you advise clients on building issues, work on building matters as part of a local authority, or if you work within the building industry and require working knowledge of building law.
