Labour says homeowner protections will need to go hand-in-hand with Government's proposed building consents scheme. 

The reforms will allow tradespeople to consent their own work for basic housing, foregoing inspections.  

Criteria is also being considered for businesses with a track record of delivering bigger projects to access streamlined consenting.  

Labour's Housing Spokesperson Kieran McAnulty told Mike Hosking customer protections like indemnity insurance are key. 

He says homeowners need confidence and if the legislation is wishy-washy, it won't work. 

National’s Mark Mitchell agrees, saying that there is a balance to be found, but we have to look at sensible ways of making it easier and cheaper to build houses.  

He says they have world-class tradespeople who can be trusted to self-certify.
