Consents Up in Auckland, For Quality Construction Talk to The Building Co.

A building boom is taking hold with Auckland residential consent approvals up 28 per cent in the year to July - the highest number since 2004. The trend wasn't the same around other parts of New Zealand with consent numbers down in the month of July, but up on this time last year.

For people who are looking for new builds, The Building Co. is a Kiwi company specialising in light commercial, residential construction and project management in the Auckland region. Their projects are predominantly small to large scale, medium to high-end developments.

The Building Co. believes that when embarking on any project, having a builder who knows the process can save clients time and money. Given the complexities of building and compliance, it is imperative to hire a professionally run building company. The Building Co. can effectively manage building projects, ranging from developing investment properties through to large high-end renovations and new builds. They can manage the whole process from earthworks through to the finessed details completed to the highest standard.

Statistics New Zealand has just released information showing 12,845 Auckland consents issued annually in the latest period, second only to the record-setting 12,937 consents issued in the year to June 2004. Stand-alone houses accounted for nearly half or 6,039 new homes. A record 3,032 townhouses, flats, and units were approved.

 "The number of new homes consented can be quite volatile on a monthly basis, particularly as the number of apartments consented tends to fluctuate a lot," warned construction indicators manager Melissa McKenzie.

Apartments and townhouse building consents nationally were up, she said, while stand-alone house consents had been flat during the past two years.

More consents are being granted for apartments; townhouses, flats, units and retirement villages, up 29 per cent to a total of 11,843. The number of stand-alone houses consented fell 1 per cent to 21,007, Statistics NZ said. ASB said: "Housing construction demand has remained reasonably strong in Auckland and Wellington, underpinned by under supplied housing stock following a number of years of strong population growth."

The Building Co. includes experienced carpenters and decorators, site foremen and project managers/estimators. They also work with designers and architects.  It is a member of The Certified Builders Association of New Zealand, whose members are all trade-qualified builders who adhere to strict guidelines for standards of workmanship and business practice. They offer a 10-year weather tightness guarantee and Home First Insurance from Built in New Zealand.
