The master franchise owner of New Zealand’s largest residential builder, G.J. Gardner Homes, is backing the Government’s new-home warranty and insurance reform…
NZ Herald ·
about time someone actually looked at the building act. warranties are a joke when the company goes bust.
Oh great, another round of 'reform' that'll make houses more expensive while builders get richer. 🙄
if gj gardner is backing it you know there's a catch. they just want to dodge liability when their homes leak.
mate. They'll find some loophole.
Yeah nah, I've seen the state of new builds lately. This is just a PR stunt.
As someone in the industry, this is actually sensible. But the public won't trust it cos of all the cowboy builders.

but something is better than nothing, eh.
can someone explain what the actual changes are? article is all fluff.
reckon? I've seen too many GJ failures to trust them.
Good on him for speaking up. Something needs to change with all these dodgy builds.
It's in the building act reform - basically making sure all new homes have proper insurance.
ffs more red tape that'll just add cost. we already can't afford homes.
call, but the insurance changes are legit. Makes sure builders can't just fold and restart.
Porteous is just protecting his franchisees. Don't trust a word he says.
warranties are useless if the company disappears. seen it happen too many times.
cope. He's literally a master franchise owner, of course he backs it.
