3 Introduction
The aim of the Construction Handbook is to provide a comprehensive reference work on New Zealand
building costs and other related information, for those involved in the various disciplines of the construction
and property industries. The Handbook has achieved a reputation as the leading authority on the various
aspects of construction costs in New Zealand, and is recognised as an authoritative text in the courts for
cases relating to disputes in respect of construction cost.
This edition, like previous editions, is committed to the dissemination of information necessary to implement
cost control, cost management and cost benefit studies effectively at all stages of planning and construction.
It should be stressed that attention must be given to the particular circumstances and conditions of the project
being reviewed, when using the data contained in this Handbook.
Please read the How to Use this Handbook section, and the introductory notes to each chapter, as an
essential part of using this handbook effectively.
3.1 Editors Comments

Generally, the market is still quiet, but with repair and rebuild activity underway in Christchurch. We have
allowed again for higher costs for Christchurch. Materials continue to increase, although our strong exchange
rate helps with the cost of imported materials.
In 2012, we added costings for the Department of Building and Housing guidance documents for TC2 and
TC3 foundations, these are located in the Cost Planning Rates section, under Substructure. As the
documents were republished in December 2012, we have updated these items to reflect the latest table and
figure numbering.
Please note, we have NOT adjusted the building models for increased structure costs due to changing codes.
Where necessary, adjust using the elemental and cost planning sections to allow for additional structure
costs.
As notified in the 2012 edition, we have removed three sections from the printed edition. Two chapters,
Legislation and Tax are on the CD version only. Gone completely is the Rental Review chapter. We have
reverted the page numbering to a simple page number, instead of including the chapter number.
3.2 Publishers Note

Whilst every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information given to this publication, neither
the editors nor the publishers in any way accept liability for loss of any kind resulting from the use made by
any person of such information. All prices exclude Goods and Services TaxGST.
3.3 Our Final Publication

As we have indicated in our marketing material for this years edition, Rawlinsons is ceasing publication of
the Rawlinsons New Zealand Construction Handbook after this 28th edition. Our editor, Cathy Giddens, is
moving on after nearly 19 years in the role. The role of editor involves a skill set of quantity surveying,
database publishing and marketing, and it has proved extremely difficult to find a suitable replacement.
3.4 Business as Usual for Rawlinsons Ltd

Rawlinsons core business and operations are not affected by this decision. For our four offices nationwide,
and our 50 professional staff, directors and shareholders, it is business as usual.
Rawlinsons are a proudly New Zealand owned company, who have been servicing the construction and
property industries for nearly 60 years. Rawlinsons maintains all the knowledge and data from the Handbook,
and will continue to service clients with up-to-date information.
Rawlinsons would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your loyalty and support. We look forward to
doing business with you in the future.

EstimatingBuilding Costs Per Square Metre

4 How to Use This Handbook

4.1 EstimatingBuilding Costs Per Square Metre
This section gives the average cost range for base building costs for a wide selection of typical buildings.
Whilst square metre costs are recommended for use in initial feasibility studies only, they also provide the
base figure in the valuation of buildings. However, when so used they should be adjusted as described in the
following Elemental Costs of Buildings.
As the figures given are for a typical building on a flat site, adjustment must be made for such factors as
sloping sites, ground conditions, unusual shape and other design considerations.
The costs given are based on the total floor area of all levels measured between the outer faces of external
walls. Refer to page 585 for information on Measurement of Buildings. Refer to page 10 How to use this
Section for further information.
There is a worked example included at the start of this section. It gives a sample layout of an estimate, giving
examples of the additional items to be added to the base m2 cost, in order to arrive at a comprehensive
estimate. See Worked Example on page 11.
4.2 EstimatingElemental Costs of Buildings

This section provides a percentage analysis of each building element, of selected building models from the
square metre costs section. This allows for adjustment of various elements, if required, to reflect the
particular building being examined. For instance, to increase the substructure cost, establish the percentage
relating to that element, and increase it. Examples of major variations from the typical are: new structural
codes affecting the substructure and frame elements, special facade treatments, the extent of floor finishes,
whether or not the building services include air conditioning, lifts, etc.
4.3 EstimatingCost Planning Rates

The more detailed rates given in this section allow for a finer adjustment of the elemental costs, through the
application of unit costs to a particular element, i.e. different design treatments such as facades, interior
finishes, etc.
The costs given are all up estimating costs, i.e. they include allowances for sundry labour items such as
forming angles, and other minor items. For items not covered in this section, it will be necessary to refer to
the Detailed Trade Rates section.
4.4 Detailed Trade Rates

These provide a wide range of costs for particular items in all trades and services. The prices given do not,
unless stated to the contrary, include allowances for sundry labour items such as forming angles, and other
minor items. If using these prices to complement the rates of EstimatingCost Planning Rates, it will be
necessary to make due allowance for such minor items. Depending on the project, an allowance of between
5% and 10% would normally suffice.
At all times, when using any of the foregoing figures, the nature and specific requirements of the particular
project must be kept in mind.
4.5 Construction Indices

Various published indices, relevant to the construction industry.
4.6 Regional Indices

An indication of the locality adjustment factor to be applied to the figures for base cities, in order to arrive at a
figure for smaller centres.

Purpose
Rates given hereafter should be used for initial feasibility studies only, and are average rates for generic
buildings, covering the base building works only, for typical buildings, at June 1st, within the city areas.
Rates can provide no more than a rough guide to the probable cost of a building. Whilst in many instances, a
single rate is sufficient to indicate the average cost, there are many other instances, such as banks, function
centres, theatres, churches, residential buildings, where costs can vary considerably from the range given.
For a more detailed breakdown, and to assist in the compilation of a more accurate estimate, See "Elemental
Costs of Buildings" in chapter 2.
Base Building Costs

Rates given are for the base building cost, and generally exclude costs of local authority fees, external works
and utilities, as these will vary for each situation.
Add to the base building cost for the exclusions as listed below.
****Add for any structural and building code requirements, especially recent regional changes.
Add for any other factors deemed to be necessary for the completion of the project.
Add heating, ventilating and air-conditioning, where considered necessary and not included
frequently a regional difference.
Add additional allowances for work in country areas. See Regional Indices on page 582
Adjust rates for factors such as sloping sites, foundation problems, higher wall to floor ratios, unusual
building shape, small or cramped site, firewalls to boundaries, infrastructure upgrades to territorial
authority services, remote locality, and any special design factors where costs can vary from the range
given.
Costs are based on the total floor area of all levels, measured over all external walls. Usually referred to as
GFA, or gross floor area. For a worked example of an estimate, See Worked Example on page 11
Exclusions
Costs exclude
Land
Demolition of existing structures on the site
****Additional costs due to building code changes and increased structural requirements
External works such as landscaping, driveways and parking areas
Utilities: power, water, gas, drainage, phone/data mains from public connection to 3m from building
Balconies and covered ways

ELEMENTAL COSTS OF BUILDINGS
Page 34

Purpose
This section is intended as an approximate guide to the value of the various elements of the buildings in
Chapter 1. In all cases, refer to Chapter 1 items for the full descriptions of the buildings, particularly with
regard to scope, inclusions and exclusions. Note that the elemental percentages are indicative rather than
definitive.
The Total cost given is the average of the cost range for the respective buildings in Chapter 1. The
breakdown into elemental costs enables evaluation and adjustment of the figure used for initial feasibility
studies.
All costs within this section are those pertaining to Auckland. The range of prices for each centre is given
below each analysis total.
Base Building Costs

Rates given are for the base building cost, and generally exclude costs of local authority fees, external works
and utilities, as these will vary for each situation.
For a fuller explanation, See Base Building Costs on page 10 Also, See Worked Example on page 11
Exclusions
Costs exclude
Land
Demolition of existing structures on the site
External works such as landscaping, driveways and parking areas
Utilities: power, water, gas, drainage, phone/data mains from public connection to 3m from building
Balconies and covered ways
Professional and legal fees. See Professional Fees on page 654
Goods and Services Tax (GST). All rates exclude GST.
Definitions
An element is a component part of a building or a development which, irrespective of design or method of
construction, tends to perform the same function.1
GFA = Gross Floor Area
Explanation of Elemental Calculations

The percentages and $/m2 given in the following tables represent values relative to the GFA, or gross floor
area, and not to the area of the particular element being considered. See the worked example on the next
page, where the Upper Floor element is repeated at the bottom of the table.
The Elemental Costs of $82.72/m2 and $190.09/m2, for A and B respectively, are not costs for a square
metre of actual upper floor for each of those buildings. Instead, they are a proportion of the total m2 cost,
which, if multiplied by the GFAwhich includes the ground floorwould give the cost of the Upper Floors for
those buildings.
For A, $82.72 x 600m2 GFA equals $49,632, which, if divided by the actual area of Upper Floor for that
building, i.e., 300m2, gives a cost/m2 for the actual Upper Floors of $165.44.
For B, $190.09 x 7,500m2 GFA equals $1,425,675, which, if divided by the actual area of Upper Floor for that
building, i.e., 7,200m2, gives a cost/m2 for the actual Upper Floors of $198.01.

Purpose
Page 63

Purpose
This section is intended as a guide to the all-up unit costs of various materials, systems and treatments that
make up the various elements of a building. It can be used as a half-way step between the square metre
estimating methods of the Building Costs per Square Metre section, and a fully measured and priced
estimate using the Detailed Rates section.
This section is particularly useful for budget estimating from preliminary sketch drawings, and with care can
give an accurate assessment of the cost of a final design.
Elements
An element is a component part of a building or a development that, irrespective of the design or method of
construction, tends to perform the same functions. For example, the Frame section contains costs per metre
for columns of reinforced in situ concrete, precast concrete, and structural steel. For a fuller explanation of
elements, refer to Chapter 2, Definition of Elements.
Rates
The rates given in this section assume an average size of structure, type of construction and level of difficulty.
As the average building rarely occurs, it is necessary to analyse where the building under consideration
differs from the average. Once the differences have been analysed, then decide which of the various
elements of the building will be affected by these differences, and make due allowances for such differences.
It may be necessary to obtain full details for the abnormal elements, in order that the whole estimate should
have some real meaning. If such details are not available, then make a suitable allowance in the rates, for
individual parts of the affected elements.
Some examples of differences, related to Elements, are as follows
Difference from Average Element Affected
Soft site conditions Substructure
Reservoir on the roof Roof
Low floor to wall ratio Structural Walls
High stud height Exterior Walls and Exterior Finishes
Interior Walls and Partitions
Wall Finishes
Exclusions
Costs exclude
Land, demolition
Balconies, covered ways, parking areas
External services more than 3m from the outside face of the building
Data and telephone services
External works other than those immediately adjacent to the building
Legal and professional fees
Goods and Services Tax (GST). All rates exclude GST (Goods and Services Tax).

1 How to Use this Section
Purpose
The Detailed Rates section gives indicative rates for reasonable quantities of work, and would apply to
projects in the $1,000,000 to $5,000,000 range, with average site conditions.
Rates, unless otherwise described, are for the completely installed item of work, including overheads and
profit. No allowance has been included in the labour rate for local industry agreements or special payments
such as height allowance, depth allowance etc.
No allowance has been included in the rates for Preliminaries items, such as site establishment, supervision,
large plant, scaffolding, notices and fees, insurances. Allow for Preliminaries items as necessary to arrive at a
realistic total cost. Rates do include allowance for small tools.
Rates can differ appreciably, due to the nature and specific requirements of each particular contract.
Therefore, it is not recommended that they be used for tendering or quotations.
Inclusions
Material supply, with average trade discounts Labour to install, generally at labour constants
appliedthese vary detailed in Chapter 5.
Delivery of materials to site, allowance for waste Allowance for small tools and hand plant
Fixings and consumablesnails/screws/glue/etc Overheads and profit
Exclusions
Local industry labour agreements or special payments such as height allowance, depth allowance etc.
P&G - Preliminary and General items, such as site establishment, supervision, large plant, scaffolding,
notices and fees, insurances, etc. Refer to Preliminaries section for pricing of these items.
Goods and Services Tax (GST). All rates exclude GST (Goods and Services Tax).
Range of Figures Given

In many instances, a range of values is given, indicated by a dash or hyphen in front of the second value.
This indicates that the labour constant or rate could range from, say 1.00 hours - 1.50 hours. The hyphen in
front of the second set of values does not indicate a negative value, but is intended to show that a range
exists. The second set of figures is generally set closer to the top row than for other figures, to indicate the
relationship.
For example, excavating in rock, a range of labour constants and accompanying costs is shown thus.
in hard rock 0.44 (hours per) m3 47.70 47.10 54.60 47.10
-1.77 (hours per) m3 -146.00 -144.00 -166.00 -144.00
Rounding of Figures: Revised

The rounding rules have been modified, in accordance with the rounding formula available in the costing
database. There are some exceptions to these.
Under $50, rounded to nearest 10 cents
From $50 to $750, rounded to nearest whole dollar
From $751 to $3,000, rounded to nearest $10
From $3,001 to $10,000, rounded to nearest $100
Over $10,000, rounded to nearest $1,000

Building consent applicants pay the Building Levy.
The Levy was set in 2005 at $1.75 per $1,000, plus GST. With 15% GST from 1 October 2010, this totals $2.01
per $1,000 of building work. Prior to 2005, the levy was $0.65 per $1,000 of building work.
Expressed as a percentage, 0.201%.
For more information, refer Building Levy Order 2005, Number SR 2005/33, or later issues.

4 Demolition and Alterations
Demolition rates vary considerably. It is advisable to obtain specific quotations for each job under consideration.
Rates assume normal demolition periods, no site access problems, and include removal of all debris.
Rates exclude allowance for credit value of demolished materials or removal of debris after fire.
4.1 Tipping Fees

Tipping Fees, used as basis for demolition rates.
Alter rates as necessary.
Mixed debris tonne 135.00 100.00 153.00 101.00
Clean fill tonne 135.00 100.00 45.00 26.00
4.2 Demolition of Entire Structures

These notes apply to all of the following building types
Rates are for whole structures per square metre of gross floor area
Demolition calculation is based on volume of building, ie 3m3 of demolition per m2 of gross floor area, based on a
3m storey height.
Debris is taken as 1m3 per m2 of gross floor area, ie, a 3m high building leaves a debris pile 1m high.
Rates allow for 20km return trip to disposal facility, at 1.5 trips per hour. Adjust as necessary for longer or shorter
journeys
Rates allow for portion of debris to be dumped as clean fill. Depending on tipping fees, this may or may not result
in lower demolition cost
Approximate mass per m2 is shown in descriptions. This is indicative only, please adjust as necessary

4.6 Refurbishment and Alterations

On the assumption that the additions and new works within the existing building include reasonable quantities of
the respective items, then the Rates given in Detailed Rates will apply with the following provisos:
Excavation
Use of mechanical plant will be precluded,
therefore rates for hand excavation will
apply, with the addition of 30% to 75% for
additional disposal costs
Concrete Work
Due to additional handling costs, increase
rates by 20% to 30%
Brickwork/Blockwork
Due to the nature of the work and additional
handling costs, increase rates by 50% to
75%
Plumbing and Drainage
Due to short runs and connections to
existing, each scheme will have to be
examined in detail and a suitable
percentage added
Electrical
Upgrading of mains, sub-mains or board
may be required depending on additional
loading.
All Other Trades
Likely to be affected to a lesser extent, but where
necessary add a suitable percentage for:
Poor access to working area
Decreased productivity
Out of sequence working
Handling of materials
Noise and dust control
Additional protection of existing structures

8.1 Types Of Formwork

F1: Surface permanently concealed; i.e. footings, rear of retaining walls, strapped and lined walls and the like.
F2: Interior/exterior surfaces to be plastered or concealed.
F3: Surfaces with limited imperfections, not subject to close scrutiny; i.e. surfaces of buildings and civil
engineering structures concealed or observed from a distance.
F4: Surfaces of uniform texture, close tolerances, i.e. wall, panels, columns, beams and the like in areas of
secondary importance; e.g. basements, workshops.
F5: Surfaces of high quality, fine tolerances, subject to close scrutiny, i.e. walls, panels, columns, beams, soffits,
parapets, civil works and the like in areas of greater importance, where the surface is a feature of the space

23.1 General Notes

LB = Load Bearing, NLB = Non Load Bearing
Timber framing is MSG8, KD, H1.2 RP
All plasterboard rates allow for taped and stopped joints to level 4 finish.
No allowance for baffles in ceiling spaces.
M2 rates allow for 2.7m or 3m wall height. Rates for partitions with heights requiring non-standard wallboard sizes
may vary considerably, due to greater wastage factors.
For plasterboard linings without framing, See Plasterboard Linings on page 427.
Lining Requirements are shown thus:
2/1/10mm GIB = 2 faces/1 layer/10mm GIB, ie, each side of wall has 1 layer GIB
2/2/13mm GIB = 2 faces/2 layers/13mm GIB, ie, each side of wall has 2 layers GIB
1/1/10mm GIB, 1/2/13mm GIB = 1 face/1 layer/10mm GIB, with other face/2 layers/13mm GIB

30 Drainage
30.1 Guidance Notes

Trenching is shown separately. The 2009 and 2010 editions gave an all-up rate for pipe and trench, but we have
now reverted to prior practice of showing the trench costs separately. These trench costs can also be used for
other services.
Drainlayers and labourers hours are in the ratio of 3/4 drainlayer, 1/4 labourer. Increase rate if all are registered
drainlayers.
Pipe discounts can vary greatly. We have allowed a moderate discount.
These rates are intended for commercial situations, with reasonable site access.
Increase rates for residential work, and commercial sites with confined or congested working areas.
Decrease rates for subdivisional work with long pipe runs and open fields site

30.3 Trench Excavation

Rates for trench excavation include excavating by machine, backfilling with excavated material, maintaining sides
of trench and removal of surplus material up to 5km from site.
Rates exclude any site problems, blasting or use of pneumatic tools.
Add for temporary shoring where required, See Planking and Strutting on page 164.

31.1 Room Air Conditioners (RAC)

Specification Notes
RAC = Self Contained Reverse Cycle Packaged Type Room Air Conditioner.
Manufacturers may state the cooling capacities of RAC units in Watts, BTU/Hr or HP, as a NOMINAL rating (i.e.
compressor rating) or a NET rating (the actual room cooling ability of the unit).
NOMINAL capacities may have to be de-rated by up to 20% to obtain the actual cooling ability of the unit.
RAC units range between 1.5kW (net) and 14kW (net). To obtain full specifications for each unit, consult the
manufacturers and suppliers.

Discounts can vary greatly. These rates are based on a 15% discount.
Rates are for straight-forward site glazing. For shop glazing, labour content could reduce by 10 to 15%.
Size of pane, position and location can have significant effect on costs, for example, fixing 3m2 shop front pane at
street level versus 9m2 internal partition pane on 15th floor
Add extra for additional labour where large and heavy panes require man-handling
Add extra for lifting equipment if required
Rates assume dry glazing to aluminium, with snap-on glazing beads, in pane sizes of 0.2m2 to 2m2.

Rates given are a guide for estimating purposes. Specific requirements should be discussed with the
manufacturer
The Hp/A ratio given hereafter is as follows
Heated perimeter of exposed steelwork in m
cross-sectional Area of steel member in m2
Hp/A explained
The heated perimeter is the outer surface of the steel element exposed to the fire
The cross sectional area represents the mass of the element
The greater the cross-section, the heavier the steel element, and thus the more mass it has to resist heating.

SDR - Standard Dimensional Ratio, for explanation see Abbreviations in "Weights and Measures" chapter
As polyethylene pipes refer to Outside Diameter in their nomenclature, for the avoidance of doubt we have used
DN, OD and ID in the descriptions below
Generally other pipe types are referred to as nominal bore (NB) and internal diameter (ID)
DN is specified in NZS4404 as nominal diameter under the pipe manufacturing standard. This can mean different
things for different pipe materials.
Rates do not include trenches. For trenches, See Trench Excavation on page 360.

The labour constants given are for the major items of on-site works for which prices are given in the Detailed
Prices section.
The following constants are intended as an average guide only. Considerable variation can occur in the constants.
Each Contractor will have their own opinion as to what the constant should be, especially with regard to variables
such as the type of job, site conditions, location and scope for mechanical plant use.
Constants are expressed as hours per unit of measure, e.g., 1 hour per m2, or 7 hours per No (each).
For ease of calculation, parts of hours are expressed in decimals, not in minutes. For example; 1.50 hours = one
and a half hours; 1.80 hours = one and eight tenths hours, or one hour and 48 minutes.

6.3 Workshop Fabrication

Explanation of Fabrication Labour
The following labour constants use modern estimating methods, whereby it is the work content in detailing,
fabricating, and erecting individual pieces of steel that determine costs, and not weight.
Fabrication labour is determined by the quantity of labour tasks in each steel assembly, for example, each column,
beam, brace, assembly, or bracket. Much of the labour is contained in the connections and other labours such as
assemblies, transitions, precambering, stiffener plates, and penetrations.
These labours are similar to those given in NZS4202, which also explain fabrication work content.
The SCNZ Estimating Guide and Steel Est programme uses the labour in connections and other work in a similar
way to the labour tasks below.
Structural steel fabricators often use hours per tonne as an estimating shortcut. This can be reasonably accurate,
but only when used across a complete project so that the variances in fabricating different pieces is averaged in
the overall estimate.
The fabrication of different steelwork pieces often varies from 5 to over 200 hours per tonne, despite overall
weighted averages of 15 to 30 hours per tonne for an entire project. This makes pricing of light weight secondary
steel items, often encountered in variations, difficult without quantifying the labours.
See below for further information on individual and workshop productivity factors.

Productivity factorsagainst the constants above
General: market, complexity or regional 0.851.33
Site fabrication and welding 2.004.00
Notes
The average constants are for high repetition portal frame and high rise type work. The ranges are for differences
in piece size, detail, repetition, and fabrication methods.
These constants are based on conventional fabrication methods used by most fabricators,. ie manual gas cutting
and magnetic broach drilling, and semi-automatic "mig" or "flux core" welding.
With semi-automated saw and drill lines output is much higher but machine costs are higher, and generally the
market does not differentiate costs because semi-automation affects only part of overall fabrication.
The constants include for reading fabrication drawings, stacking and sorting materials, marking out, turning,
grinding edges and welds, operator setting up, servicing gear such as welders and grinders, and QA including
average rework.
These constants are "whole of job", and hence will differ from spot check times which will not be representative of
a complete job due to the tendancy not to include downtime and variances in productivity.
Repetition affects productivity in different ways, and for some labour operations can have a significant impact on
output, while other labours produce only slight improvements. A high degree of difficulty can also have a large
impact on output, for example, very detailed drawings, angled assembly, low repetition of detail, complex set out.
Welding output varies according to the length of welds and the amount of shifts to different pieces being welded,
and handling. Repetition alone has little impact on welding output, unless it is practical to use a different welding
method. Structural steel usually involves small runs, with greater attention to weld ends around plate edges, and
corners. Thus, where long runs of continuous welding are involved output is generally higher, particularly if a
different welding method can be used.

The tables given hereafter are a guide only and apart from Trucks and Haulage, are based on information
given in the Reference Handbook issued by the Caterpillar Tractor Co. All plant references are to
Caterpillar equipment.
21.1 Density and Load Factors

Whilst measured quantities are generally in situ or in place quantities, the actual quantity to be removed
and/or spread and levelled is, in practical terms, the loose volume.
The following table indicates the approximate density (weight) and load factor of common materials.

Load Factor Correction
Refer to page 525, Density and Load Factors, apply appropriate load factor to the corrected production,
obtained by application of Job Condition Correction Factors above.
Production Example
Determine average hourly production of a D8, moving hard-packed clay, average distance of 45m down a 15%
grade, using a slot dozing technique.
Estimated material weight1600 kg/m3 (loose). Operator skill levelaverage.
Job efficiency is estimated50 min/hour. Uncorrected Maximum Production570 m3 (loose)/hour.
Correction Factors Summarised:
Hard-packed clay is hard to cut material 0.80 Operator skill levelaverage 0.75
Grade Correction (from graph above) 1.19 Job Efficiency50 minutes per hour 0.84
Slot Dozing 1.20 Weight correction (1370/1600) 0.86
Production Calculation = Maximum Production x Correction Factors
= (570 m3 (loose)/hour) x (0.80) x (1.19) x (1.20) x (0.75) x (0.84) x (0.86)
= 353 m3 (loose)/hour

NB: Indices for earlier years are in a separate section. See Indices Archive on page 538
1.1 Explanation of Indices Used

Labour Cost IndexLCI
The LCISalary & Wages series measures movements in salary and ordinary time wage rates, and overtime
wage rates. Series represented:
SG53E9All Sectors Combined: Group 15Construction (table 4.1)
SG43E9Private Sector: Group 15Construction (table 3.1)
The latter is the index L referred to in NZS 3910:2003Appendix A, Cost Fluctuation Adjustment by
Indexation.
The SE59E9LCIAll Costs Combined series includes non-wage labour-related costs: annual leave and
statutory holidays, superannuation, ACC employer premiums, medical insurance, motor vehicles available for
private use, and low interest loans, and is published each June.
Consumer Price IndexCPI - removed
We have removed the CPI from this list, due to its lack of relevance to construction pricing, and to make way
for percentage movements. See Percentage Increase Included on page 535.
Capital Goods Price IndexCGPI
The CGPI records the average level of productive capital assets paid by New Zealand industries. Series
represented:
S2BANon-ResidentialShops and Offices
S2AAResidentialDwellings and Out-buildings
SGCCivil Construction (includes transport ways, pipelines, electrical works, earthmoving and
sitework) (previously labelled other construction)
Note: Statistics New Zealand include the following statement for series S2BA.
This index does not purport to reflect all price changes in building work because of measurement difficulties,
particularly with respect to margins and discounts on labour and material prices.
Producers Price IndexPPI
The PPI measures prices relating to the production sector of the economy.
Output indices measure changes in prices received by producers, input indices measure changes in the cost
of production, excluding labour and capital costs. Series represented:
SQNEE0000Construction Industry Group EEInputs, base Dec 2010
SQNEE1100Construction Industry Building Construction EE11Inputs, base Dec 2010
SNEConstruction Industry GroupInputs, base June 1997, continues until March 2012
These represent the index M referred to in NZS 3910:2003Appendix A, Cost Fluctuation Adjustment by
Indexation. Note that this group SQNEE now has 4 indices replacing SNE, and two of these are shown in the
following tables.
Opus Construction Cost IndexCCI
The Opus CCI, now discontinued, was a civil engineering index produced by Opus International Consultants
Ltd, formerly Works Consultancy Services Ltd and prior to that, the Ministry of Works.
1.2 Key and Notes to Tables

For indices prior to years shown above, See Indices Archive on page 538
* indicates pro rata calculation to convert indices for prior periods where base dates have been
updated. See Compensating for Base Date Changes on page 542
R indicates previously published figures have been revised. F indicates forecast.
1.3 Percentage Increase Included

We have added columns to show the year-on-year percentage change, for clarity showing the June quarter
only. The full list of percentage changes are available to download from the Statistics website, if required,
their tables give both quarter-on-quarter changes, and year-on-year changes.

Canterbury Indices***
Page 536

1.4 Canterbury Indices***
Statistics New Zealand have introduced new indices series to focus on the labour cost differences in
Canterbury, given that the LCI measures changes at a national level. They have classified surveyed positions
in the construction industry into Canterbury and rest of New Zealand.
We have added two columns to the Labour tables, to show the All salary and wage rates for the construction
industry - Canterbury series LCIQ.SG53E9C and the All salary and wage rates for the construction industry
- rest of New Zealand series LCIQ.SG53E9R.
The original of this information, and periodic updates, can be found on the Statistics New Zealand website
Infoshare facility, at www.stats.govt.nz/infoshare. Look for Work income and spending under Subject
Categories, then Labour Cost Index - first entry titled All Sector Combined, Industry Group and Location.
Select all on each of the Labour Cost, Industry 2009, Location and Time boxes, choose either table on
screen or Excel file options, and click on Go.
Note, the series reference numbers arent shown on Infoshare, but the indices on the table below are for the
all salary and wage rates, not the salary and ordinary time wage rates. Clicking all will give you both sets
of answers.

3 Cost Indexation Formula
3.1 Indexation Formula
NZS 3910:2003 contains provision for calculating and adjusting contract values for cost fluctuations in
accordance with published indices.
Taken from NZS 3910:2003 with permission from Standards New Zealand. NZS 3910:2003 can be
purchased from Standards New Zealand at www.standards.co.nz.
Appendix A, clause A2
1 1
0.4 ( L L ) 0.6 ( M M )
C=V ----------------------------- + ---------------------------------
1 1
L M
C = Cost fluctuation adjustment for the quarter under consideration.
V = Valuation of work shown as payable in any Payment Schedule in respect of work having been completed
during the quarter under consideration subject to A3, but without deduction of retentions and excluding the
Cost fluctuation adjustment.
L = Labour Cost Index; Private Sector: Industry GroupConstruction: All Salary and Wage Rates: published
by Statistics New Zealand, for the quarter under consideration.
L1 = Index as defined under L but applying for the quarter during which tenders close.
M = Producers Price Index; Inputs: Industry GroupConstruction, published by Statistics New Zealand, for
the quarter under consideration.
M1 = Index as defined under M but applying for the quarter during which tenders close.
3.2 Example
Contract for $10,000,000 of civil works, tendered in May 2011.
V = $2,150,000 (value of work carried out in quarter ended June 2012)
L = 1059 (LCI index SG43E9 for quarter ended June 2012)
L1 = 1036 (LCI index SG43E9 for quarter ended June 2011)
M = 1028 (PPI index SQNEE1100 for quarter ended June 2012)
M1 = 1015 (PPI index SQNEE1100 for quarter ended June 2011)
0.4 ( 1059 1036 ) 0.6 ( 1028 1015 )

C = $2,150,000 x ---------------------------------------------- + ----------------------------------------------
1036 1015
C = $2,150,000 x [ 0.008880309 + 0.007684729 ]

C = $2,150,000 x 0.0165650379
C = $35,614.83, therefore, the cost fluctuation adjustment for the quarter under consideration is $35,614.83.
3.3 Simplified Version of Example

The labour value, at 40% of the work carried out in the quarter, has increased by 2.2% (see the LCI table %
column) and the material content, 60% of the value of work, has gone up by 1.3% (see the PPI table %).
3.4 Contract Indexation Guide

There is a guide to using contract indexation, available from Statistics NZ website. This link will take you
straight there from the CD. www.stats.govt.nz>Tools and Services>Business Toolbox>Contract Indexation.
3.5 Compensating for Base Date Changes

Periodically Statistics New Zealand redevelop indices and recalibrate them back to 1000. A pro rata
adjustment will allow conversion of the new indices for periods occurring before the new base date applies.
Example. CPI was redeveloped and recalibrated in June 1999. In the original series, the June 1999 value is
1097. In the new series, the June 1999 value has been re-set to 1000.
The March 1997 value is 1082 in the original series. What is the equivalent value for the March 1997 index in
Cost Indexation Formula 13

the revised series beginning June 1999?
June 1999 index, reset to 1000 = 1000
divided by original June 1999 index value = 1097
multiplied by March 1997 index 1082 = 0.911577 x 1082
Equivalent value for March 1997 index
in the revised series = 986
1000
Expressed as an equation, thus: ------------- 1082 = 986
1097
Note: this calculation should not be applied to the PPI index, which was redeveloped in 1998. Statistics New
Zealand provided back calculations for two yearsincluded above (note that these do not quite match the
original figuresdue to the redevelopment).

1.1 Employment Contracts
The coming into force on 15th May 1991 of the Employment Contracts Act 1991 caused most building
contractors to enter into individual employment contracts with their employees. This Act was replaced by the
Employment Relations Act 2000, effective 2 October 2000. The terms and conditions of all existing individual
or collective employment contracts remained the same on 2 October 2000.
Any new collective or individual employment agreement after this date needs to comply with the requirements
of the Employment Relations Act and subsequent amendments. For more information, see Legislation
section on CD.
1.2 Employing a Labour-Only Contractor

Hiring a labour-only contractor in the building industry is common practice, and is a method of hiring in labour
specifically for particular contracts, rather than having waged employees. The labour-only contractor can be
terminated when the work has finished whereas the waged employee has rights under the Employment
Relations Act 2000.
If an employer hires a labour-only contractor, then that contractor will fall under the withholding payments
regulations. This means the contractor receives withholding payments instead of a salary or wage, and the
employer is required to deduct withholding tax. The Inland Revenue have specific rules regarding the
payment of labour-only contractors, and these are summarised here. The employer must:
get a completed Tax code declaration IR330 form from the contractor. The contractor must fill in their
IRD number, use the WT tax code, and enter a withholding payment category of labour-only contracts
in the building industry.
make deductions from the withholding payments at a flat 20% rate. Earners levy and student loan
repayments are not deducted from withholding payments. If the contractor has not completed an IR330
form, then the employer needs to make deductions at the no-declaration rate of 35%.
calculate the withholding tax on the GST-exclusive amount, if the contractor is registered for GST.
keep the tax invoices that the contractor provides to the employer.
include the details of withholding payments on the Employer Monthly Schedule IR348 and Employer
Deductions IR345 forms.
keep the withholding payments and the deduction records with the rest of the employers wage records.
If the contractor holds a special tax rate certificate, the employer should deduct withholding tax as specified
on the certificate.
The employer does not have to deduct any withholding tax if the labour-only contractor is a company or holds
a current Certificate of Exemption IR331.
1.3 Sample Wage Calculations

The following calculations are an indication only of a build-up of typical wage rates. Due to prevailing
economic conditions these may be subject to large fluctuations as actual paid rates will vary between
employers, building sites and localities. The local availability of construction work will also affect, to a lesser
extent, actual paid hourly wage rates, and to a greater extent, tender rates and daywork rates.
For the purposes of this publication the following terms apply to the different types of hourly rates:
Hourly paid wage rate (employment contract)
Labour only paid rates (negotiated contract)
Tender or contract rates (net)
Daywork or charge out rates (includes overhead and profit)
These tables are examples of wage rate calculations. Actual rates will vary throughout the country.
1.4 Hourly Paid Wage Rates

Hourly paid wage rates of pay payable to operatives in accordance with collective agreement. Note, these are
indicative rates only. Rates have moved considerably over the last few years.
carpenter hourly rate $25.00
labourer hourly rate $16.00
Labour Only Paid Rates
Page 547

1.5 Labour Only Paid Rates
Labour only paid rate of pay established as a flat rate per hour worked, without any other payments for
holidays, sick leave, etc. This means that the worker gets paid for each hour worked and nothing else. Under
this heading the employer is responsible for workplace accident and public liability insurance premiums which
will add to the rates stated.
carpenter hourly rate $35.00
labourer hourly rate $25.00
1.6 Tender or Contract Rate

Tender or contract rate per hour cost to a building contractor. This is used for tender calculations and is
calculated separately for each trade. It includes leading hand supervision only. Foremans and other
supervision is normally costed in the Preliminary and General. For tendering purposes a weighted average of
carpenters and labourers is used, as calculated below.
Average Contract Rate for tenders or quotations, for gang

No of staff Hourly Rate Total Cost
Carpenter (for calculation, See page 548) 5 @ $32.93 $164.63
Labourer (for calculation, See page 548) 1 @ $26.07 $26.07
Total gang cost per hour, divided by number of staff 6 $190.70
Gives Average Contract Rate (net) = $31.78
Note: Profit and overhead added is added on at the end of the estimate to produce a quotation or tender
amount.
1.7 Productive Hours

The contract rate is derived from the total weekly cost of employing an operative, divided by the productive
hours actually worked. These productive hours are less than the paid worked hours, due to a paid morning
and afternoon break, plus starting and stopping, totalling 8 times a day. Wet time is also included as an
average allowance.
Productive Hours
Item Times Days per Total
Minutes per day week Minutes Hours
Standard available hours per week 45.00
Deduct
Tea break 10 mins x 2 x 5 100 = -1.67
Lost time 5 mins x 8 x 5 400 = -3.33
Wet time allowance (this allows for 4 hours per -2.00
week wet weather, divided by 2 to allow for
50% of under cover work.)
Productive Hours Per Week = 38.00
1.8 Daywork or Charge Out Hourly Rates

Daywork or charge out hourly rates are used for variations that cannot be measured and rated, and for
charge up type contracts. An applicable profit and overhead percentage is added.
Because daywork or charge out rates cover the entire working day, the total weekly cost is divided by the paid
working hours.
Charge out rate for variations on a daywork basis

1.9 Labour Rate Build Up
A typical employment contract is incorporated in the calculations below to produce the contract and the
daywork rates. If desired, some of the costs can be included separately in the preliminary and general trade.
The following calculations are on a weekly basis. Other methods involve calculating on a daily or annual
basis.

2 Labour OnlyResidential
A regular query is what is the going labour-only rate for house construction?. Often the builder is being
asked to carry out the carpentry work for a $/m2 rate, and wants to know if the rate is fair. Without knowing
the scope of work, it is extremely difficult to agree or disagree with any given rate, and how it relates to hourly
wage and charge-out rates.
In all cases, we recommend that readers, before accepting any rate, calculate the cost of the project, using
established estimating principles and allowing for appropriate overhead and margin amounts, in order to see
for themselves if the proposed rate is fair. There is a potential pitfall of being paid for the work in $ per m2,
and paying staff or contractors in $ per hour.
This section is intended to provide some tools for the reader to calculate their own rate for the particular
project being considered. The worked example allows for both $ per m2 and total $ per project, whichever is
preferred.
Method OneTop Down

Purpose: To work out if the rate is one you should accept, Area 200 Area 300
that is, can carry out the work for and make a profit. Rate $60/m2 Rate $90 /m2
Step One Per m2 Per project Per m2 Per project
Enter proposed income A $60 $12,000 $90 $27,000
Decide on desired profit percentage, and deduct this 10% $6 $ 1,200 $ 9 $2,700

This gives theoretical cost B to carry out the work B $54 $10,800 $81 $24,300

Multiply F x G to give hours per gang week H 135 135
Step Five
Divide project hours E by gang week hours H to give weeks 2.5 5.6
project duration in working weeks
Based on experience, decide if the resulting calculation of working weeks is a realistic time frame in which to
complete the project. If unsure, look back over records of previous jobs to assess how long they took. Your
records of previous jobs, together with your experience, are two of your most valuable resources for
estimating and quoting.
Other costs and factors to consider: Downtime, wet weather delays, waiting on subs/other contractors,
vehicles, cellphone charges, equipment costs such as tools and plant, either your own or hired in.
It is good practice to do a full measure of the work and quantities involved, and rate out the labour hours from
established labour constants for residential work. On the other hand, if you have a reliable feel for how many
weeks or days a project will take a gang of say 2, 3 or 4 staff, then that is an equally valid method of
estimating. If you've done identical or similar projects in the past, then you should have records that will give
the likely manhours.
Page 551

It is recommended practice to use one method as a cross-check for the other, ie, work out both ways and see
if you come up with the same answer.
For this example, we will assume you have already established the labour hours for the projects.
Method TwoBottom Up

labour hours for the project, and checked it against similar
projects from your files. C hrs/wk 45 50
Multiply A x B x C to give manhours for project D 540 1200
Step Two

3 Accident Compensation
3.1 Accident Compensation Act 2001
The current Act is the Accident Compensation Act 2001, reprinted, incorporating all previous amendments,
on 1 July 2010. A search of the government legislation website will bring you completely up to date with the
law in this area - at least for now. See www.legislation.govt.nz
3.2 History
Note in particular that as from 1 July 2010 this Act includes and has superseded other Acts which also
formerly dealt with accident related issues e.g. The Injury Prevention, Rehabilitation and Compensation Act
2001, the Accident Insurance Act 1998 and its amendments, the Accident Insurance Act and the Accident
Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Act 1992. The position in relation to accident compensation has
now become more streamlined.
State versus private accident insurance is an area of fundamental policy difference for some political parties
therefore this subject area will be subject to frequent and major changes.
3.3 Levies
The Accident Compensation Corporation maintains and operates separate accounts for different purposes.
There is a Work Account, a Motor Vehicle Account, an Earners Account, a Non Earners Account and a
Treatment Injury Account. The Work Account is funded by levies on employers, and the Earners Account levy
is deducted from wages via PAYE payments. Sections 168, 168A, 168B and 211 are the relevant sections
relating to levies on employers and employees. The regulations for each separate account give more
practical details (in particular amounts payable). It is advisable for both employers and employees to consult
the new 2010 Accident Compensation (Earners Levy) Regulations and the Accident Compensation (Work
Account Levies) Regulations on a regular basis.
3.4 Work Account Levies

The 2010 regulations no longer set the residual claims levy, which has now been folded into the Work
Account levy, with two components, the current portion and a residual portion. These regulations set separate
maximum amounts of earnings for the current portion and the residual portion of the Work Account Levy
payable by an employer or private domestic worker. The maximum amount of earnings on which an employer
or a private domestic worker must pay is now set at $113, 768.
3.5 Earner Levy

All employees must pay an ACC earner levy to cover the cost of non-work injuries, plus an earners account
residual levyto fund the cost of non-work injuries claimed from 1 April 1992 to 30 June 1999. These levies
are incorporated into the PAYE tables, and collected by Inland Revenue on behalf of ACC. They are at a flat
rate which can change each year.
Earner levy$1.70 per $100 of earnings, from 1 April 2012. (Was 2.04 per $100 of earnings for 2011/
2012 year.)
Levy maximum. This levy is applied up to a maximum amount of individual liable earnings of $113, 768
for the 2012-2013 financial year.
3.6 Self Employed Persons

From 1 April 2001 ACC has invoiced self employed persons direct for the earners levy. IRD supply income
information to ACC to enable them to do this.

1 Cost Planning Procedures
1.1 Introduction
For the purposes of studying the concepts of cost planning, the cost of a building is defined as the amount the
client or building owner will have to pay the contractor to have the building constructed.
Under the traditional tender system, the contractor is required to submit a quotation for constructing the
building. This may be based on a schedule of quantities and allowances made for overheads and profit.
Several quotations or tenders may be submitted and one such tender, probably the lowest one, will represent
the cost to the building owner.
Cost planning is the process of designing to, or within, a pre-calculated cost, determined by the finances
available, so as to obtain optimum value for available money, whereby a building owner obtains a building
tailored to the budget. The success of a good cost plan will be measured by its similarity in both value and
content to the successful tender price.
Most building owners are compelled to adopt tight financial control on all costs used in feasibility studies, if
the intended revenue obtained from buildings is to be achieved. Because building costs are a substantial part
of any feasibility study, it follows that a logical process of establishing a target cost at the outset of any
project, and the realisation of that same cost on completion, is essential if credibility is to be maintained.
Cost planning should not be seen as a restrictive influence on the work of the designer, but as a positive,
predetermined, disciplinary process, where money is consciously allocated to the various building elements
or features, so as to obtain a building conforming to budget but possessing embellishments in certain areas,
if so intended.
The system flow chart shown on the next page, indicates the cost planning processes related to the
architectural stages of a typical project from inception through to tender. Note: the processes shown in this
chart are being superseded by the 5 step process outlined under Design Documentation, Refer to page 578.
1.2 Cost Plan Stages

Preliminary Design. The cost planning process is carried out by a quantity surveyor, in close liaison with the
architect, and includes the establishment of a cost limit or budget at inception. This process proceeds on to
the cost evaluation of design alternatives, construction systems and standards of finish and services
pertinent to the particular project. These are then included in a preliminary cost plan, at the end of the
preliminary design stage.
Developed Design. As final sketch plans are completed, the preliminary cost plan is expanded into a budget
estimate and cost plan, containing separate budget costs for all the building elements, reflecting the various
design inputs from the architect, structural engineer, mechanical and electrical consultants, etc. As the detail
design proceeds, these cost elements are monitored and, where an element appears to be exceeding the
budget, recommended remedial action is submitted to the architect by the quantity surveyor, with the object
of staying within the overall budget.
Detailed Design. Usually the point of no returnthe project cost is committed at this stage and can only
accept major alterations at the expense of disruption to documentation activities, and resultant delays. This
stage sees the final cost check in the form of a detailed pre-tender elemental estimate, followed by quantity
surveyor pricing of the schedule of quantities, if commissioned. If the various stages of the cost planning
activities are efficiently carried out, and close liaison and co-operation maintained with the design team, then
the final outcome of tenders should conform to the established budget. The building owner can then proceed
immediately to signing a contract with the builder, satisfied that all reasonable steps have been taken to
ensure a good budgetary and design conclusion.

1.4 Design Documentation
1.5 Introduction
For years the building sector had lacked a common language on the varying types of design services
available, as well as their applicability to particular building requirements. This created misunderstandings for
designers and builders, and for their clients. From misunderstanding, costly problems emerged.
The industry (through the Construction Industry Council) picked up this challenge and developed a set of
guidelines, which clearly define the various design stages possible in a building project, as well as
comprehensive checklists on the range of services available. This will be of immense benefit to clients who
wish to discuss their particular needs with builders, architects, engineers, or others involved in building
projects.
1.6 Design Documentation Guidelines

The Guidelines are intended as a general checklist and benchmark for building projects, and have been
prepared primarily for building works, as distinguished from civil works, industrial processes and
infrastructure projects. They are intended to be tailored to the appropriate level of project complexity and
service agreed with the Client; the tick boxes can be used to define the service. The purpose of the
Guidelines is:
to clearly define responsibilities from the outset and communicate these to all parties involved in the
project;
to define the Scope of Service with the Client and communicate this to all parties to the Design
Process;
to provide a level playing field in achieving appropriate remuneration for the standard of service
required; and
to provide a Quality Assurance reference for users.
1.7 Use of the Guidelines

The Guidelines outline the design process that all building projects go through irrespective of the
procurement methodology or programme. The Guidelines differentiate the design process and deliverables
into the following five phases:
Concept Design
Preliminary Design
Developed Design
Detailed Design
Construction Design
For a brief description of each phase, Refer to page 580. Download the guidelines from the Construction
Industry Council website, at http://www.nzcic.co.nz/Design.cfm
Design is an evolutionary process, developing from a set of client driven objectives. Within each of the stages
there often can be substantial changes. However, ideally the fundamental elements of the previous stage
should not be overturned.
The guidelines can be used to define the responsibilities of the various parties throughout the design
process. The level of service provided by a designer could be curtailed at any of the stages. However, the
parties completing the design process will need to carry out the remaining steps in a coordinated manner to
achieve an effective design.
The document has separate Guidelines for the primary design disciplines of architecture, structure,
mechanical and electrical engineering etc.
Who has created the Guidelines? The document has been drafted by a working party endorsed by the
Construction Industry Council (CIC). The working party has consulted widely to ensure the guidelines are
workable and benefit the entire building industry, with representation from the following bodies:
ACENZ (Association of Consulting Engineers of New Zealand)
HERA (Heavy Engineering Research Association)
IPENZ (Institution of Professional Engineers New Zealand)
NZIA (New Zealand Institute of Architects)
NZIOB (New Zealand Institute of Building)
NZ Property Council
NZIQS (New Zealand Institute of Quantity Surveyors)
Use of the Guidelines
Page 579
14
NZBSF (New Zealand Building Subcontractors Federation)
PMI (Project Management Institute)
RMBF (Registered Master Builders Federation)
The guidelines have been co-ordinated in process and terminology to be consistent for all participants in the
building industry. The Guidelines have strong support from the professional bodies listed above, and there is
a shared intent that the Guidelines become an industry-wide document.
How does the document relate to existing professional body documents? The principal purpose of the
document is to comprehensively define the Design Phases. As such, it is hoped that the document can be
integrated into existing professional body agreements for provision of design services.
How does this document relate to the Management and Administration of the Design Process?
Design management and administration may be undertaken by any of the consultants; Client, Project
Manager, Contractor or specialist Design Manager. Because of the varied nature of commission structure,
the task of design management is not addressed in these guidelines. However, the following comments are
provided:
Design management may overlap with some of the design processes listed, but may also include the
direction of consultants, the chairing and minuting of regular project meetings and administration of the
design delivery programme.
The Design Manager may also assist in managing information flow from the Client.
Responsibility for the Design Management role needs to be confirmed at the start of the project and the
scope of this role either included in the Consultants service or defined separately.

1.8 Description of the Design Phases
Concept Design generally involves the application of a design idea to the practical provision of a facility. It
represents a phase where sufficient design concepts are developed for the Client to be able to establish the
feasibility of the project, the development potential of a site, or to be able to select a particular conceptual
approach that the Client wishes to pursue. The Concept Design phase may be used to define or verify the
Brief, and may often involve the testing of different approaches/options. During this phase, ideas (concepts)
are developed through open interaction by the team of the key elements of the project.
At the end of this phase, the basic building blocks of the project are defined in general terms and co-
ordinated between the design disciplines.
Concept and Preliminary Design phases are often combined on smaller projects.
Preliminary Design generally involves the further refinement of the preferred Concept to facilitate testing it
against inputs from the team, including cost estimates and regulatory approval. It may provide sufficient
information for the communication of the design to a third party for marketing or consultation purposes.
During this phase the project concepts are developed into firm schemes, where the relationship and sizes of
spaces and facilities are defined, and co-ordinated between the design disciplines. However, resolution of
individual details that do not impact on the key elements are generally left for the next design phase. At the
end of this phase, the project should be clearly defined.
Developed Design is the phase where every component of the design is investigated, verified and co-
ordinated. This may involve production of detailed information including sketch details of all significant
componentry and their inter-relationships. The Developed Design phase is where the individual technical
experts prepare the necessary documentation to define the scope of all building elements, major input is
required by all designers.
The completion of the Developed Design is the critical point in a project. The scope of the project is fully
defined and as a result, cost estimates can be prepared on an elemental basis. Developed Design generally
provides sufficient information for the client/user to clearly understand the aesthetics and functionality of the
building, internal spaces and facilities.
On many projects the Developed Design documentation is issued for Building Consent and/or Guaranteed
Maximum Price (GMP) tender. Coordination between the design discipline is therefore critically important at
the end of this stage.
Detailed Design generally provides a level of documentation that clearly defines the design, specification
and extent of all building elements. The design should be comprehensively co-ordinated with other
disciplines. However, the documents produced in this phase may not directly be able to be built from.
Changes to anything but detail at this stage are very disruptive, expensive and often result in further
problems as by now the project has become very complex and it is hard to identify all the ramifications of
changes. Detailed Design is the phase most commonly used to obtain a Tender for the construction of the
works.
Construction Design is where the requirements defined in Detailed Design documents are integrated with
construction requirements such as site conditions, proprietary and performance design elements, erection
requirements and fabricated shop drawings to create drawings that can be directly built from. (Note: Shop
drawings are produced during this stage).

Cost Management 13
Preliminary Cost Advice
Page 581
14
2 Cost Management
The control and allocation of monies on construction projects is generally the responsibility of the
professional quantity surveyor. Areas of service offered by the quantity surveyor are:
2.1 Preliminary Cost Advice

From the first concept, quantity surveyors
give essential, practical advice on the cost of a project
advise on feasibility and economics of construction projects, forms of contracts, methods of
construction
prepare cash flow analyses.
2.2 Cost Planning

The prime objectives of cost planning are: to build a project which is economical within design parameters,
optimising value for money; to control cost within the agreed budget; and to achieve a balance of expenditure
between the various functional elements of the project.
2.3 Procurement
On completion of the cost plan, the project moves into the construction stage, which generally begins with
some form of competitive tendering if the building owner's interests are to be fully protected.
There are many forms of contractual arrangement, each of which has its own advantages and
disadvantages. One role the quantity surveyor undertakes is to identify the form of contract which best suits
the building owner's requirement; for example, cost reimbursement; lump sum traditional tendering;
negotiated construction management; package deal and methods of fast tracking.
Professionally prepared schedules of quantities are an effective cost saving device. They relieve each
tenderer of the onus and therefore the cost of compiling their own, a cost which could otherwise be passed on
to the client in the tender price. Schedules can frequently provide a greater spread of sub-contract prices,
resulting in cost savings to the client.
Schedules also provide the necessary feedback to monitor cost over-runs and form the basis for processing
progress claims, variations to the contract and ultimately the final account. This documentation process is the
last but vital part of the pre-contract cost control service, in itself, it produces significant savings for the client.
2.4 Post Contract Administration

The monitoring and reporting of actual cost outlays, unexpended monies, variations and regular plotting of
costs versus targets ensures that an up-to-date position can be known at all times. To many clients a major
under-run in time can be as problematical as a major over-run. Only by regular monitoring can such events
be properly identified and avoided.
2.5 Other Services

Quantity surveyors have diversified their activities into other related areas such as: project co-ordination,
project management, project planning, insurance valuations, research and statistics, specified schedules,
design-build evaluation, analysis for taxation purposes, arbitration advice, market research and analysis on
new products and systems, computer software development and marketing, data collection and
dissemination.
Specifications 13
Different Ways to Specify
Page 582
14
3 Specifications
3.1 Different Ways to Specify
Common ways to produce project specifications are:
Using raw data. Creating every project specification from raw data would clearly be unwieldy, unnecessary
and expensive. However this approach still applies when specifying a new or unusual product, system, or
process.
Adapting a previous specification. Adapting a specification from a previous project is an approach
commonly employed. However this is unlikely to provide a specifier with the comprehensive range of
selections and options needed for specifying a new project. This approach can also offer a false impression
that the content is up-to-date, when it may not have been independently reviewed for some time.
This approach is inherently flawed and should be avoided, except for projects which closely mirror their
predecessor. Even then, a better approach is to create an office master as a stable base for each project
type.
Using an office master. Most medium-sized and larger design practices maintain some form of office master
specification system. This may range from a system based on a series of standard sections, designed to be
interleaved with project-specific selections and clauses, through to sophisticated computer-based systems
containing a full range of clause and section options, for individual customising by the project specifier.
Using a master specification system. A master specification system takes this structured approach one
step further. By maintaining access to a wide range of industry expertise, a master specification system
provider can offer greater certainty that the systems database will accurately reflect industry thinking. A
further critical ingredient is the ongoing maintenance of the master specification systems reference base and
technical content. Standards, codes, Acts of Parliament, industry references and accepted construction
practice are all subject to continuing development and change.
3.2 Approaches to Specifying

Different approaches to specifying can be employed within a single master specification system.
The subtractive approach. Where the specifier deletes what doesnt apply, using a series of standard work
sections. This approach is particularly suited to preparing specifications based on a requirement to comply, or
to confirm compliance with, a prescriptive code or universal standard.
Even under New Zealands performance-based approach to building controls, project specifications will still
contain a strong prescriptive element. Most projects will also require the addition of project-specific data and/
or instruction, making a purely subtractive approach unworkable.
The additive approach. Where selections are made from a library of standard clauses, with the specifier
adding project clauses and selections.
The additive approach allows the specifier to mix and match clauses from the total specification database to
accurately reflect the project in hand. Being able to add project-specific selections and project-based
descriptive clauses, enhances the ability of a specifier to produce a truly customised specification.
Recommended approach. Master specification systems such as MasterSpecparticularly while they are
presented as a series of individual word processing filesare generally customised using a mixture of
subtractive and additive techniques.
Other advantages of a master specification system. A master specification system, particularly a
nationally recognised system, provides uniformity in presentation and formulation and by using standardised
terminology and definitions, ensures that they are more widely accepted and understood.
Having access to such a system allows specifiers to keep up to date with changes in regulations, codes,
standards, work practices, products and technology. The system will also reflect an industry consensus on
what comprises current best practice, through the provision of updated text, guidance notes and regular
news bulletins on topical issues.
Risk management. The use of a nationally recognised system is an important risk management device. It
encourages the production of consistent, concise and easily understood specification clauses, minimises
ambiguitieswhich are generally held against the specifier in a court of lawand offers clients greater
certainty that their specification will produce the quality required and expected.
Master specification systems achieve this by maintaining a library of standard clauses, developed using
available knowledge and experiencelocal and overseasfrom which project specifications can be created.

Such nationally based systems can also be instrumental in bringing about standardised descriptions of the
same thing for the same purpose, adding to clarity of interpretation.
3.3 MasterSpec Systems

MasterSpec STANDARDfor all commercial, industrial and larger residential projects
MasterSpec ENGINEERINGa subset of STANDARD, focusing on civil and structural engineering aspects
of commercial, industrial and larger residential projects
MasterSpec BASICfor residential and smaller commercial projects
MasterSpec MINORfor minor residential alterations.
The systems are technically compatible. Where appropriate STANDARD (including ENGINEERING) and
BASIC sections can be used to specify different parts within the same project specification.
Form and format. MasterSpec systems are provided as word processing files. All MasterSpec text is
formatted and styled ready to use in association with the functions provided with your chosen word
processing programme.
The MasterSpec format. A major concern for users of specificationscontractors, territorial authorities,
subcontractors and suppliersis first discovering details of a particular requirement or supply item, and then
being confident that all aspects have been found.
Construction managers need to know what tests are required, while subcontractors need to know whether an
approved installer is called for. Suppliers need to find information on for example fixings and flashings
needed to complete a particular building element. The MasterSpec Format helps this to occur naturally and
easily.
The MasterSpec Format uses the internationally-recognised terms: GENERAL, PRODUCTS and
EXECUTION, with a fourth SCHEDULES added when needed.
Master specification systems. Construction specifications must be:
technically accurate
up-to-date
simple to use
easy to coordinate with the project drawings
have a logical relationship with other related documents, including schedules of quantities and
standard conditions of contract and tender.
Specifications 13
Coordinated Building InformationCBI
Page 584
14
3.4 Coordinated Building InformationCBI
MasterSpec employs the CBI classification and coding system. CBI was produced in 1998 by ACBINZ, an
organisation representing NZIA, NZIQS, RMBF, ACENZ, BRANZ, SNZ, BOMA, IPENZ and NZIOB. These 9
bodies represent all facets of the building industry.
CBI is consistent with CAWS (Common Arrangement of Work Sections) the classification system used by the
UK National Building Specification. CBI is also compatible with the UK classification system Uniclass (Unified
Classification for the Construction Industry) with the CBI headings replacing the CAWS headings used in
Table J.
The CBI classification system is suitable for all information relating to the construction industry: - Specification
and drawings, technical and research libraries, trade literature and associated publications
Work section codes. Work sections are identified by a 4-digit numeric code. The first digit signifies the class:
1 General
2 Site
3 Structure
4 Enclosure
5 Interior
6 Finish
7 Services
8 External
The remaining three digits define each work section within the overall class designation. For example:
2 211 Removing vegetation
2 221 Excavation
2 222 Backfilling
2 223 Removing subsurface constructions
Preliminaries and general sections. Associated with, but not forming part of CBI, is a standard format for
preliminaries and general issues.

Measurement of Buildings 13
Physical Content
Page 585

4 Measurement of Buildings
4.1 Physical Content
Schedule of Quantities. A schedule of quantities is a document which is procured when measuring the
physical content of a building. It is set out in sections either by trade, element or physical location and
describes the individual items of work which make up a complete building. The quantity of each item is also
given where applicable. Its main use is for tendering purposes, assessment of variations and progress claims
and cost analysis of building projects.
Schedule of Provisional Quantities. Similar to the above, a provisional schedule gives only an assessment
of the quantities involved as it may not be possible to determine them accurately at the time of preparation.
Actual quantities are then recorded when each item of work has been completed.
Specified Schedule of Quantities. Accurate quantities are given in the normal manner as per the normal
schedule and are complemented by a detailed specification of the items, which is included either as a
preamble to each section or as a part of the description of each item.
Methods of Measurement. It is necessary for a standard to be employed when measuring the quantities for
each item. Standards New Zealand, in conjunction with the New Zealand Institute of Quantity Surveyors,
have produced NZS 4202The Standard Method of Measurement of Building Workswhich is the most
commonly used guideline for measurement of building works.
4.2 Gross Floor Area (GFA)

This method has been adopted for use by the New Zealand Institute of Quantity Surveyors for the purpose of
building cost analysis. A full explanation of the method is given in their Elemental Analysis of Costs of
Building Projects.
Unit of measurement: square metres (m2)
The gross floor area is measured over all the external walls of the building, over partitions, columns, internal
structural or party walls, stair wells, lift wells, ducts, enclosed roof top structures and basement service areas.
All exposed areas such as balconies, terraces, open floor areas and the like are excluded.
Generally, projections beyond the outer face of the external walls of a building such as projecting columns,
floor slabs, beams, sunshades and the like shall be excluded from the calculation of gross floor areas.
Where the outer face of the external walls of a building are not regular vertical surfaces, the overall
measurements shall be taken at floor levels and a note made of the vertical profile of the wall line. Where
mezzanine floors occur within a structure the gross floor area of this mezzanine shall be added to all other
complete floor areas and become a constituent part of the gross area.

Executive Director, New Zealand Institute of Quantity Surveyors Inc.,
P. O. Box 10 469, The Terrace, Wellington. Tel 64+4-473-5521
4.3 Rentable Area

This method has been adopted for use by the Property Council of New Zealand Inc., for the purpose of
determining rental values, based on the publication Guide for the Measurement of Rentable Areas. Portions
of this guide are reproduced with the permission of Property Council of New Zealand Inc.
The guide is primarily directed to the measurement of floor space in commercial, industrial and retail
buildings and may be used for such purposes as determining rentable areas, project feasibility, building
efficiency, operating and cost apportionment and other related matters. Applicable throughout New Zealand,
the guide is invaluable to property owners, developers, investors, lessees and all those involved in the
provision and utilisation of space.
The method of measurement is broken down into four categories to simplify its application to different
building types and various lease arrangements.
Unit of measurement: square metres (m2). Measurements are generally taken at a height of 1.5 metres
above the floor.

Method of Measurement 1. Office AccommodationEntire Building/Whole Floor
This category of accommodation is intended to apply to modern multi-storey office buildings. This method of
measurement can be applied to any office accommodation in an office building of similar type. It may be used
for measuring the rentable area of an entire building or the rentable area of a whole floor. This recommended
guide is based on the principle that any office building will have the same total rentable area whether it is
leased as an entire building, or on a whole floor or part floor basis.
1.1 The rentable areas of a building is the total of all the rentable areas.
Method of Measurement 2. Office accommodationPart Floor
This category of accommodation is found in modern multi-storey office buildings where one or more floors
are sub-divided to facilitate leasing to more than one lessee on any floor. The sum of the rentable area for
each part floor lessee shall equal the total rentable area of that particular floor, had it been leased on a whole
floor basis. In order to determine the rentable area for each part floor suite, it is necessary to measure the
nett area for each suite to which is added an apportioned pro rata share of the total service area on that floor.
2.1 The nett area for each suite shall be measured to the centre of partition walls. Other wall measurements
shall be taken as for method 1.
Method of Measurement 3. Retail Premises
This method of measurement is intended to apply to all retail premises whether freestanding, individual
premises comprising a group of premises, or part of a shopping complex/shopping centre, as well as those
retail areas which may form a component of a commercial office building or multiple use complex.
3.1 The rentable area is the floor space confined within the building and available for exclusive use by the
lessee.
Method of Measurement 4. Industrial Type Buildings
This category covers a wide section of commercial and industrial uses but the types of building envisaged
bear a similarity in that they are mostly, though not necessarily, a single storey freestanding structure with
office accommodation built in, attached or adjacent.
4.1 This category consists of those buildings or premises in which more than 50% of the total rentable area
is used for industrial, warehousing, storage or similar use.
Feasibility Studies 13
Overview

5 Feasibility Studies
5.1 Overview
The purpose of feasibility studies is to calculate the return which will be derived from a particular project.
The return can be expressed as an annual percentage return, or as a terminal percentage return. An annual
percentage return will be used where the project will be generating rent for the owner, while a terminal return
is used when the project is to be sold.
The calculated returns are important only for comparisons, i.e., to compare one project with another or to
compare one project's return with the return that would be achieved by investing elsewhere.

Contractual Systems 13
Traditional Tender System

6 Contractual Systems
A brief commentary on the contractual arrangements commonly available to prospective building owners
considering property development or construction. Composite forms or variations of these basic forms may
be used.
traditional tender
competitive negotiation
direct negotiation
cost reimbursement
design and build
construction management. Refer to page 592.
The major determinants in selecting a particular contractual form are:
Time available to complete the project, this includes the design period.
Cost
The extent of information which will be available at the time of selecting a form of contract.
It is often a balance of these constraints which determine which form of contract is best suited to each
particular project. As this decision is often critical to the success of a project, it is advisable to seek advice
from a professional or principal consultant before choosing the form of contract.
6.1 Traditional Tender System

Tenders may be called for the construction on either:
a selected basiswhere tenderers are restricted in number by a process of selection according to
their qualification and experience in the type of project in question.
an open or public basiswhere no such restriction exists and public accountability and total market
exposure is paramount, sometimes at the expense of suitability and selective expertise.
The building owner appoints a project design team comprising an architect, structural engineer, quantity
surveyor, mechanical and electrical engineers and other specialist consultants as required, depending on the
nature and complexity of the project. The building owner commissions the full design documentation of the
project within the cost parameters set by the quantity surveyors cost plan.
Tenders, usually lump sum, are then invited from building contractors to ascertain the price of the works,
prior to the final decision to proceed. This lump sum can be either a fixed price or may make provision for
fluctuations in material, plant and labour prices. The fixed price lump sum contract will have no adjustment for
price fluctuations.
On awarding the contract to the successful tenderer, the site is handed over to the building contractor and the
contract administered by the architect on behalf of the building owner in accordance with the contract
documents.
The construction work is carried out by the building contractor generally using sub-contract trades.
The design performance obligations rest with the design team and any risks are invariably underwritten by
the individual team members professional indemnity insurance. The construction (contractual) risks rest with
the building contractor.
The building owner is therefore reasonably well protected from risks inherent in design and construction.
Key points
price is known before building owner is committed to constructionallowing remedial action to be
taken if the price exceeds budget expectations.
price is the true competitive market price.
building owner is insulated, for the most part, from risks, or at least has contractual recourse.
design and tender documentation is complete before proceeding to tender, avoiding the incidence of
major cost variations.
6.2 Competitive Negotiation

The building owner appoints a consultant team to prepare schematic design drawings up to preliminary
working drawings stage, outline specification including a schedule of construction and finishes, a provisional
schedule of quantities and a form of a building contract.
Tenders are called from a selected list of building contractors, for the following elements:
Direct Negotiation
Page 591
14
Preliminariesi.e. Builders price for site mobilisation, day to day running and final demobilisation,
construction plant including cranes, scaffold, etc., builders insurances, temporary and on-site services,
water, phones, electricity, periodic and final clean-up, and builder's site administration, including
supervision.
a tendered percentage or lump sum for margins to be based on the value of work when known.
a tendered percentage or lump sum for off-site overheads.
a tendered percentage or lump sum for attendance on sub-trades.
statement of the time required to complete the project accompanied by the builder's bar chart or other
programme scheduling.
Tenders, submitted in accordance with the above requirements, are evaluated by the consultant team and a
recommendation is made to the building owner. On a recommendation in favour of one of the building
contractors being accepted, that builder then joins the project team as a building consultant and his practical
building expertise is then used in final design documentation before he proceeds to perform the building
works.
The appointed builder prices documentation as it becomes available for final acceptance by the building
owner. This is usually done by the builder calling competitive bids from, say, three sub-contractors for each
trade package.
Key points
this is essentially an accelerated system of procuring a contract, the main object being to install a
selected builder on site and working, before formal design documentation is complete, resulting in an
earlier completion and all the advantages stemming therefrom.
the selected builder becomes a member of the team and is available to add his expertise to the
advantage of the project.
sub-contract prices are tendered just prior to when needed, thereby obtaining current market prices.
6.3 Direct Negotiation

Directly negotiated contracts are similar to competitive negotiation except that instead of calling tenders
from a selected list of contracts, one contractor will be chosen and negotiations will take place with this one
contractor only.
Care is needed in selecting a particular contractor but it will probably be someone with whom the building
owner has worked successfully in the past.
Key points
As for competitive negotiations.
This method has the effect of further speeding up the start of construction as little time is spent in
evaluating tenders.
6.4 Cost Reimbursement

The building owner selects a building contractor who contracts to perform the building works in accordance
with the contract documents at cost plus a fee which is related in various ways to the contract. The
documents can be based on any one of the contract conditions mentioned earlier. In this arrangement it is
extremely important to define cost. The fee is then added, to arrive at a total contract price. The cost
usually includes all on-site activities, whilst the fee covers off-site overheads and profits. The fee can be in
the form of:
percentage of cost (e.g. Cost plus 10%)
fixed fee (e.g. Cost plus $20,000)
fluctuating fee (known also as target estimate)
Another derivative of cost reimbursement contracts is a schedule of rates or unit price contract. This is based
on approximate quantities being priced by the contractor, and these price rates are then applied to actual
quantities of work done, to arrive at a total cost of construction.
6.5 Design and Build Contract

This usually commences when a client approaches a design and build contractor with a brief for a particular
project. Alternatively the client may be approached by a design and build contractor with a development
proposal for his site.
The design and build contractor submits a preliminary proposal incorporating outline aspects for the intended
design and construction. This proposal would include estimates of time and cost to complete the project. For
Construction Management Contract
Page 592
14
the investment client the proposal may also incorporate projected return figures for the project.
If the preliminary proposal is accepted by the building owner, the design and build contractor would work up
and submit a final development proposal. This would incorporate in many instances, a guarantee of a
maximum price for the project and offer the building owner a share in any savings achieved in such maximum
price.
The final development proposal would comprise schematic design drawings to a reasonably advanced stage,
and an outline specification incorporating a schedule of construction and finishes.
The system may be either with or without a savings participation clause.
6.6 Construction Management Contract

When embarking on this form of contractual arrangement, the building owner would usually appoint a project
manager and the other members of the construction team.
Once the initial schematic design is formulated a construction manager is appointed to the team to assist in
design considerations and to provide practical building expertise, procedures, etc., to the project team.
Construction activities are sub-let to firms or companies specialising in the various trade work required.
These trades are selected on a fully competitive, delayed letting basis, and enter into direct contract
agreements with the client.
A general foreman supervises all on-site activities; a cost clerk and a limited number of carpenters and
labourers are also engaged to attend on other trades and execute minor sundry works.
Costs are controlled by the quantity surveyor, with a continuous audit of actual costs incurred. Payments are
made to trade contractors, suppliers and on-site employees by the client.
6.7 Definitions
Construction Management. The construction manageran individual, consultancy firm, or a builderis
selected and appointed by the proprietor, or the project manager on the proprietor's behalf, and carries out
the work normally performed by a builder in a traditional system.
S/he organises, manages and co-ordinates the construction of the project on a consultancy basis for a fee.
The construction manager does not have any direct commercial interest in the work carried out by sub-
contractors, as all sub-contracts are between proprietor and sub-contractor. Thus s/he neither benefits nor
suffers from the contractual risks attendant upon a traditional contract.
Project Management. A project manager is an agent of the proprietor and assumes the role of the proprietor
in a construction project where the proprietor lacks the technical and organisational skills for the task. The
project manager becomes responsible for preparing a brief, and appointing and co-ordinating the
consultants.
The proprietor's requirements are conveyed to the project manager who ensures that they are acted upon by
the consultants and contractor. S/he may, if engaged for a total service, be responsible for such matters as;
site selection
feasibility studies
preparation of consultants briefs
selection of consultancy team
negotiation and documentation of conditions of engagement
evaluation of design profiles
supervision of documentation
implementation of programme
selection of contractual system
contract financial control
supervision of letting

It should be noted that the engagement of a project manager is not affected by the contractual arrangement
adopted. S/he can serve the client in virtually the same capacity whether it be a traditional tender or a
construction management contract.

NZS 3910:2003Conditions of Contract for Building and Civil Engineering Construction
NZS 3910:2003, originally introduced in February 1988, updated in 1998, and again in 2003, these conditions
supersede NZS 623 and NZS 623P as being the most popular form of Conditions of Contract for engineering
works.
It provides a standard form of general conditions of contract written in plain English for incorporation into
construction contract documents. Usually with this contract form, the Contractor constructs the works in
accordance with the design provided by the Engineer, however it may also be suitable for contracts works for
which the Contractor, wholly or partly, has design responsibility.
It sets out the contractual relationship between a client and the Contractor and defines their rights, obligations

prescribed that comply with the Construction Contracts Act 2002.
NZS 3910 includes General Conditions, conditions of tender and forms for special conditions, contract
agreement and bonds for contracts and principals. Insurance forms are included for the purpose of providing
outlines of the insurance cover that is provided for a contract.
NZS 3915:2000Conditions of Contract for Building and Civil Engineering Constructionwhere no
person is appointed to act as engineer to the contract
NZ 3915:2000 provides a standard form of general conditions of contract written in plain English, for
incorporation in building and construction contract documents. It sets out a direct contractual relationship
between a client and the builder or contractor and defines their rights, obligations and communications. It is
based on NZS 3910, but without an Engineer as technical advisor to the client and administrator of the
contract. It provides a range of disputes resolution procedures.
It also includes conditions of tender and forms for special conditions, contract agreements and bonds for
contractors and principals.

9 Construction Periods
The time required for the construction of a building is so closely linked to the time required for design and
documentation, that project period is probably a better term than construction period. There is, however, an
important reason why the two are separated. During design and documentation, the capital expenditure on a
project is far less than during the construction phase, and thus in commercial building projects, it is important
that the construction phase is kept as short as possible.
The time required for design and documentation is referred to as the pre-construction period and this may, in
some cases, exceed construction time. It is advisable to spend additional pre-construction time planning and
programming the project rather than to make a premature start on construction.
An unrealistically short documentation period can result in an extended construction period, attracting extra
costs for variations, time extensions and finance holding charges. It can be argued that a short
documentation period results in savings due to the reduced period in which inflation can occur.
The most effective financial situation for a commercial building would be sufficient documentation period to
enable an optimum construction period. In certain cases, the advantages and savings given by sufficient
documentation and optimum construction period, are outweighed by commercial considerations. For
example, a shopping centre which, regardless of cost, must open to take advantage of the Christmas buying
season.
The relationship between project cost and project period is affected by numerous factors, including
complexity, material choice and values, critical activities and techniques. The relationship, when based on
historical data, provides one of the most reliable methods of establishing project and construction periods.
For example, if records show that high rise multi-storey office blocks during construction period average
monthly payments of $750,000, then the total estimated cost of a proposed building divided by the monthly
amount will give an approximate construction period.
To establish the documentation period is considerably more difficult, as the design process is less tangible
and therefore less predictable than construction. Records concerning documentation periods are also less
precise and less plentiful than those concerning construction.
In the following guide, the documentation periods shown do not include delays caused by client or committee
approvals, rejections and modifications or industrial strikes. The times stated assume a minimum of abortive
time.

Acceleration
Page 599
14
9.1 Acceleration
Acceleration is a term which is used when the project periodcombined design and construction timehas
been deliberately shortened by intentional and detailed planning throughout the project.
For acceleration to achieve its optimum reduction in time, it is essential that every member of the project
team be involved and fully committed to the concept. It will require very high standards of management,
development of good working relationships, practical quality control procedures and a lot of mutual trust.
Trust is an exceptionally important ingredient as work often has to proceed in anticipation of a definite
decision.
There are many reasons why project periods need to be shortened. Shortened project periods can
sometimes mean extra cost to the client, and before embarking on a accelerated project, the client should
consider the possible additional costs versus the intended benefits of early completion/occupancy.
Research shows that much of the difference in efficient and inefficient projects can depend on the
effectiveness of the client.
The chart is a guide to the differences in construction times between accelerated, medium performance and
traditionally managed contracts.
Note: times shown are for building structure and incorporated services only.

Cash Flow 13
Clients View Point
Page 600
14
10 Cash Flow
10.1 Clients View Point
Cash flow prediction is the forecasting of cash needed to be provided by the building owner at pre-
determined dates in a building construction programme, for the purpose of making progress payments to the
builder for work executed.
An accurate estimate of cash flow for project payments is essential to the organisation that will provide funds
for the project. It will give advance notice of the funds needed and the timing of draw-downs.
Such an estimate is usually prepared before the contractor commences work and is obtained by preparing a
programme of construction activities for the project, costing these activities and obtaining anticipated
expenditure on a month to month basis.
10.2 Contractors View Point

Contractors may operate from a relatively thin capital base and the demise of many firms can be directly
related to poor or inadequate cash flow management.
Income and expenditure are combined to arrive at a net inflow or outflow of cash for each period. A time
related schedule of receipts and payments is prepared to give a cash flow statement.
A key factor in cash flow control for the contractor is to develop a system which will compare actual with
projected cashflow.
10.3 Example of Cashflow

An example is given of a simplified cashflow prepared for the client, for a two-storey hostel costing
$1,200,000 with a 10 month construction period.
The example assumes a fixed price lump sum contract with no provision for fluctuations and assumes that a
bank guarantee will be operating with no retentions being held.
It should also be noted that a delay of 20 days or so elapses between the end of a construction month and
the actual payment for the work done in that period. This delay should be allowed for in any cash flow.
The example is for construction work only and excludes other periodic payments to which the client may be
committed, e.g. Consultants fees, land costs, finance costs, etc. Refer to page 601.

10.4 SCurve
As an alternative, analysis has consistently shown that cash flows follow the lazy S curve for construction
purposes. This method is intended as a guide only and variations will apply according to the total cost of the
work and whether or not lifts, sprinklers, air conditioning and other specialist services are involved.
After reading off the theoretical amount expended against the time scale, additions or adjustments should be
made to accommodate unusual or extraordinary items such as: interest, professional fees, pre-ordering,
retentions.
From the graph it can be seen that 50% of the contract value is expended at 60% of the contract period.

Contract Insurances 13
SCurve

11 Contract Insurances
Contract Works Insurance
This type of policy provides cover to the works during the construction and maintenance period, for loss or
damage, whether in part or in whole. It can be taken out by the contractor, or by the principal. An earlier term
for this type of policy was Contractors All Risks Insurance.
The extent of the policy should be checked and additional cover arranged to suit each particular contract as
necessary for items such as: plant, tools and equipment, vibration and removal of support, piling work,
temporary buildings and structures, plate glass fixing and removal, demolition and clearance of site,
indemnity to the principal, damage to underground installations
Blanket CoverThis is substantial annual cover which is pre-arranged and based on projected turnover. It is
adjusted retrospectively when actual turnover is calculated for the year. Cover can be set at the anticipated
maximum level or alternatively at a lower or average level and special extensions applied for only when
required.
Separate CoverA separate cover for each contract is negotiated making allotment of costs per project
easier to establish.
Premium Rates
These vary considerably depending on the type of construction, duration of cover, builders track record,
amount of self insurance, etc. Since the Canterbury earthquake events, the insurance premiums have
increased throughout the country, and insurances for projects in Canterbury can be significantly higher than
elsewhere in the country. Rates have increased from a range of 0.5% to 1.0%, up to a range of 1% to 2%,
with some instances of insurance quotations for Christchurch projects ranging up to 5% of the contract value.
Other Types of Insurance

Advance Loss of Profits, Delay in Start Up: covers financial losses that may arise as a result of a delay
caused by an insured event.
Public Liability, or General Liability: concerned with accidents or other events or occurrences causing
death of, or bodily injury to, or damage to the property of members of the public. Most policies are
underwritten on an occurrence basis, so that the event which gives rise to a claim must have occurred
during the period of the insurance.
Professional Indemnity: A special type of liability insurance covering loss caused by a legal liability to pay
compensation to a client or other third party arising from a breach of professional duty. Usually underwritten
on a claims made & notified basis.
Contractors Plant and Equipment: a separate material damage insurance to be arranged by the
Contractor
Force Majeure: Unforeseeable circumstances that prevent someone from fulfilling a contract; Force Majeure
insurance provides coverage for financial losses arising out of the inability to bring a project to completion
Property Insurance 13
Indemnity value
Page 604
14
12 Property Insurance
A property may be insured in one of two wayseither for indemnity value or for replacement value.
12.1 Indemnity value

Provides the lesser covera building so insured provides cover for the value of the building as it stands, i.e.,
Likely depreciated, outdated and not conforming to design regulations. If total loss occurs, the insurer would
pay the actual value of the property destroyed. If the loss is a partial one, the insured may be required to
contribute to the cost of repairs if remaining old construction is replaced with new. The policy will only place
the insured in the position he was in, prior to the lossno better, no worse.
12.2 Replacement value

An old building may have an indemnity value of $200,000 and a replacement value of $1,000,000.
Replacement involves the construction of a building having the same functional use and of the same usable
area as the old building, but complying with modern technology, and conforming to regulations and by-laws
which may have been adopted since the original building was constructed.
An existing building, of whatever age, adequately insured in this category, would absolve the owner from
undue expense in the event of building loss. An existing building constructed of, say, pipe columns and metal
cladding, if destroyed, could well be required to be replaced with a building of reinforced concrete and block
construction. If the insurance premiums covered this extra cost element, in other words the building was
adequately insured, then the owner would be subjected to no expense if loss occurred.
At present in New Zealand the insurance industry recommends that properties of consequence have
reinstatement insurance. The average business or individual does not have the ready capital to bridge the
gap between indemnity value and full replacement cost.

13 Insurance Valuations
13.1 Valuing Buildings for Insurance
The calculated value of a building comprises several elements:
present rebuilding costs;
allowance for cost escalation/reduction during the period of insurance and/or construction;
professional fees;
removal of debris;
reinstatement costsincreased construction costs should the reinstatement period exceed the period
of insurance.
Some or all of these cost factors could be automatically included in the premium quoted by the insurer, but it
is extremely important to establish the extent of such inclusions.
Example Valuation for Insurance Purposes

Estimated/calculated building value on acquired data, at rates current $1,500,000

Cost of removal of debris, say $15,000
Sub-Total $1,724,895
Cost escalation in the lapse period possible between policy renewal 3.96% $68,305
dates
(worst case assumed)12 months @ 0.33% =
Total insured $1,793,200
Such value represents building costs only, and excludes factors such as loss of revenue in the period
between building loss and reinstatement, cost of leasing alternative premises in the same period, removal
and upset expenses, etc.
The principal cost of any valuation, and one which affects all other on-costs, is the building cost. It is
advisable to obtain professional advice, through a quantity surveyor or the like, before the insured commits
himself to the payment of insurance premiums.
Above all, it is important that building owners protect their investments by periodic cost reviews of their
buildings, in terms of inflation and the cost effect of the introduction of statutory and other building
regulations, by-laws, etc.

14.1 Cost Categories
Operating costs of buildings are those costs incurred by a Building Owner which are subsequently levied on
the tenants. The extent of these costs should be agreed prior to signing a lease agreement.
The following is a list of the main cost categories and their components. Each building will have its own
specific set of operating costs depending on its usage and each lease agreement within the building may
have all or some of the cost categories proportioned to it.

14.2 Accounting for Operating Expenses
Building owners also differ in their methods of accounting for operating expenses but guidelines are available
from the Property Council of New Zealand Inc.. Further information is available in their Operating
Performance Handbook. For contact details, Refer to page 606.
In simple terms, operating costs for a building are recorded for each year and divided proportionately
between the tenants, according to the rentable floor area they occupy. Payment is normally made on a
monthly basis as an addition to the rent.
The methods of calculating operating costs can be applied to any type of building. Ground floor tenants may
be exempt from lift costs, window cleaning and common area cleaning. Variation in costs and categories
occurs between regions and also between buildings. Each building should be assessed individually.
The breakdowns given are typical for new/near new buildings/complexes for Auckland and Wellington.
Marginally lower figures would apply for Christchurch and Dunedin.

15 Life Cycle Costing
15.1 Summary
Life Cycle Costing (LCC) analysis is a method of evaluating all the relevant costs associated with a project
throughout its life.
In a building project it is normal practice to group these costs and benefits into four categories, viz:-
Construction
Maintenance
Operating
Demolition or salvage
The basic concept of LCC is to identify the optimum distribution of resources between the above categories.
The relationships between the categories are often illustrated in the following manner:
Life Cycle Cost

Cost $
Capital Cost
Maintenance/Energy Cost
Durability of Building
All past, present and future cash flows identified in an LCC analysis have to be converted to present value
dollars.
The normal method of dealing with these cash flows is to use a technique called discounted cash flow (DCF).
Discounted Cash FlowDCF
Page 609
14
15.2 Discounted Cash FlowDCF
Discounted cash flow is derived from the compound interest formula. It is based on the assumption that if the
right to receive money, or the obligation to pay out money, is deferred into the future, then the present value
of this future sum of money is reduced. The amount of this reduction on the interest selected is calculated at
a compound rate.
Example: What is the single present worth or value of the obligation to pay a bill with a present value of
$2,000 in 10 years time. Assume 7% interest.
The answer can be calculated by using the reciprocal of the compound interest formula as follows:
1
P = F --------------------
N
(1 + i)
Where P = a present sum of money, F = a future sum of money (equivalent to P at the end of N periods of
time at an interest rate of i), i = interest rate, N = number of interest periods.
1
P = 2000 -------------------------------
10
( 1 + 0.07 )
1
P = 2000 ---------------------------
1.9671514
P = 2000 0.5083492 Thus, present worth = $1,016.70

Spreadsheet solutions for the present worth formula are available for a range of values of parameters i and N.
Spreadsheet solutions are also available for other discounting formulae such as Uniform Present Worth,
Present Worth of Periodic Payments, Annual Equivalent of Initial Payments and Annual Equivalent of
Periodic Payments.
15.3 Example of LCC Analysis

LCC analysis is primarily suited for the economic comparison of alternatives. LCC is used to select the design
solution which will give the most appropriate in-use characteristics throughout the life of the building.
The following data refers to two air-conditioning systems X and Y, each capable of producing identical
environmental conditions, but having differing capital and running costs and life expectancy.

The foregoing example illustrates that although X is initially a lower capital investment than Y, X has a higher
LCC than Y, due to increased running and maintenance costs, over a 30 year investment period, at a
discount rate of 12%.
15.5 LCC Analysis Generally

Prior to making an investment decision it is imperative to test the robustness of an LCC analysis to changes
in the key parameters of the investment model. This can be done by selecting minimum and maximum value
for interest rates, system lives, investment periods, etc.
As previously mentioned, LCC analysis is best used in a comparative situation to provide an approximate
answer to a precise question rather than a precise answer to an approximate question.
Professional Fees 13
LCC Analysis Generally
Page 613
14
16 Professional Fees
Traditionally fees for professional services have been governed by a minimum scale of charges laid down by
the various professional institutes and organisations. Members who charged less than the set fees were
liable to be disciplined by their Institute.
The advent of the Commerce Act 1987 legislated that any scale of fees for professional services would hence
become non-mandatory, although some professionals pre-empted this decision and had previously removed
restrictions on scales of charges for their members. Fee scales are issued only as a recommended document
and a guide to the scope of services carried out by each profession.
Removals of limitations on charges means that clients and consultants now openly negotiate the conditions
of engagement and fees on any terms or basis they deem appropriate. The recommended scales however
are still generally considered to represent the best interests of both parties.
Aside from the above changes a more competitive market has resulted from decline in construction activity.
Other important factors to consider when determining professional fees are the building type, i.e. its intended
use, and the scope of the services required.
Further information and recommended fee documents are available from the professional bodies.
The following table is indicative of the likely range of fees for consultants engaged on a full service basis.

Note: additional to above fees: clerk of works, town planner, interior designer, project manager, programmer,

Project management fees can be in the order of 2% to 5%, depending on the value of the contract. For
smaller value contracts, project management fees tend to be a lump sum amount rather than a percentage.
Value Management 13
Introduction
Page 614

17 Value Management
17.1 Introduction
Value management is a disciplined procedure directed towards the achievement of required function for
minimum cost without detriment to quality, reliability, performance or delivery. In the United States the
procedure is known as value engineering.
The procedure is conducted through a workshop or series of workshops involving the client, the design team
and other relevant stakeholders (where appropriate). The workshops are led by a value management
facilitator who takes the participants through a structured problem solving agenda intended to find creative
solutions to the client's requirements.
Experience has shown that the value management procedure is extremely useful as a means of reviewing a
design proposal. However, it has been found that the decisions that have the greatest impact on cost are
made at the outset of the project when strategic decisions regarding the purpose and required functions of
the project are made. Current practice with value management is therefore to break it into a two stage
processstrategic value management and design value management.
17.2 Strategic Value Management

Strategic value management is used to review the strategic intent of the project. It is most commonly
conducted during the pre brief stage. It is used to clarify the strategic intent of the project and the functional
requirements of the project. The use of a value management workshop enables matters such as the project
priorities and economic restraints to be fully examined and alternative solutions considered.
Whilst cost savings cannot be clearly defined at this stageas the project itself is not clearly defined
experience suggests that conducting value management at this stage can have a very significant impact on
project cost.
17.3 Design Value Management

Design value management is used to review design proposals. During the workshop consideration is given to
whether all the client's requirements are being fulfilled, whether additional value can be added to the project
and whether cost savings are possible without detriment to quality, reliability, performance or delivery.
Typically, cost savings achieved at a design value management workshop are in the order of 10%.

Arbitration Act 1996 13
Introduction
Page 624

3 Arbitration Act 1996
3.1 Introduction
The Arbitration Act 1996 came into force on 1 July 1997. It replaced the Arbitration Act 1908 and its
subsequent Amendments of 1938. The new Arbitration Act is based on the Model Law of the United Nations
Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) approved by the UN in 1985 and adopted for
international commercial arbitration in many countries including England, Wales, Northern Ireland, Canada,
Australia and a number of American States.
The Act applies to all domestic arbitrations (those where all parties involved are resident in New Zealand)
and international arbitrations (where at least one party has residence outside New Zealand but where
arbitration is to take place in New Zealand).
3.2 Contents of the Act

The core sections of the Act itself
Schedule I (essentially the model law) applicable to all arbitrations and
Schedule II (additional rules, not drawn from the Model law), primarily for domestic arbitrations
(although parties may agree to contract out of these) but parties to international
arbitrations may agree to contract into these provisions.
Schedule III containing international Treaties and Conventions to which NZ is a signatory, which
are generally only relevant to international arbitrations
Schedule IV contains a list of all other Acts that need to be altered to bring them in line with the
new Arbitration Act
Schedule V lists all the Acts that are repealed.
3.3 Purpose of the Act

The purpose of the Act is summarised in Section 5 to:
encourage the use of arbitration
promote international consistency (by using the Model Law)
promote consistency between international and domestic arbitration in New Zealand
redefine and clarify the limits of review by the Courts
facilitate the enforcement of awards.
The Act itself is reasonably short and contains the general rules that apply to arbitration. The main part of the
Act is contained in the First and Second Schedules that contain the procedural rules. The Third Schedule
affects only international arbitrations and the Fourth and Fifth Schedules are purely mechanical.

3.4 Main PointsThe Act itself
Section 2 An Arbitrator or panel of Arbitrators under the old Act are now called the Arbitral
Tribunal under the new Act.
Section 12 If there is no agreement between the parties an arbitration agreement is deemed to
provide that an Arbitral Tribunal may award any remedy or relief that could have
been ordered by the High Court (i.e., a declaration order or order for specific
performance)
Section 13 An arbitrator is not liable for negligence for anything done or omitted in the capacity
of arbitrator.
Section 14 Arbitral proceedings must be private. Note that the whole of Section 14 was
replaced in 2007.
Section 19 The Act applies to all arbitration agreements made before or after the 1 July 1997,
but does not apply to arbitration proceedings started before 1 July 1997 (the
previous Act would apply in those cases)
Schedule I Applies to all arbitrations
Article 7 An arbitration agreement can be oral or in writing
Article 10 The default number of Arbitrators is 3 (international) or 1 (every other case)
Article 10-15 Procedures for appointing an Arbitral Tribunal
Article 16 An Arbitral Tribunal may rule under the new Act on its own jurisdiction (including
objections to the validity of the arbitration). This facility was not available under the
old Act.
Article 18-27 Procedures for the Arbitration proceedings
Article 31 The Award must be in writing and state reasons for its conclusions (unless it has
been agreed that no reasons are to be given).
Article 32 Outlines when arbitration proceedings can be terminated.
Article 33 Within 30 days of receipt of the award a party may request the Arbitral Tribunal to
correct computation, clerical or typographical errors or any of a similar nature, in the
award.
Article 34 An application to set aside an award cannot be made later than 3 months after
receiving the award or the date at which any correction of an award had been made.
Schedule II Optional rules applying to international arbitrations by agreement and to all others
(domestic arbitrations) by default
Article 1 If one party to the arbitration fails to agree to a nominated arbitrator or fails to
appoint an arbitrator then the other party can notify the default to the opposing party
requiring it to be remedied within a specific period (minimum 7 days). If the default is
not remedied within the notified period the arbitrator(s) nominated becomes the
appointed arbitrator(s).
Article 2 The Arbitral Tribunal under certain circumstances can consolidate an arbitration with
other arbitration proceedings. This allows disputes with the same or substantially the
same subject matter between a number of different parties to be joined into one
multi-party arbitration. Consolidation under the old Act was only available through
Court proceedings.

Order security for costs
Order the discovery and production of documents

these powers have also been extended to Arbitral Tribunals.
Article 4 & 5 Appeals to the High Court can be made on matters of a preliminary point of law
arising in the course of the arbitration or questions of law arising out of an award.
Article 6 Procedures to resolve costs and expenses of arbitrations including a partys right of

Building Act 2004 13
Overview
Page 627
14
4 Building Act 2004
4.1 Overview
The Building Act is the legislation that governs the building industry in New Zealand.
The Act came into force from 30 November 2004, with staged provisions. It repealed the Building Act 1991
and dissolved the Building Industry Authority, which had regulated the building industry under the 1991 Act.
Administration of the Building Act came under the DBH, the Department of Building and Housing, established
for the purpose in November 2004. In July 2012, the DBH was integrated into the newly formed Ministry of
Business, Innovation and Employment.
Various amendments to the Act have been passed into legislation. Refer to www.legislation.govt.nz to see the
most up-to-date version.
4.2 Aims
The Act aims to improve control of, and encourage better practices in, building design and construction.
Main expectations of this legislation are:
clarity on the standards buildings should meet
guidance on how those standards can be met
certainty that capable people are undertaking building design, construction and inspection
scrutiny in the building consent and inspection process
protection for homeowners through the introduction of mandatory warranties.
4.3 Structure
The Building Act 2004 provides the framework for New Zealands building control system, in five parts:
Part 1: The purpose and principles of the Building Act, together with an overview, and commencement
dates for various provisions and definitions.
Part 2 (and Schedules 1 and 2): Matters relating to the Building Code and building work (for example,
building consents).
Part 3: Sets out the functions, duties and powers of the chief executive of the government department
responsible for administration of the Act (currently the Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment),
territorial authorities, regional authorities, and building consent authorities. It also deals with the
accreditation of building consent authorities and dam owners, and product certification.
Part 4 (and Schedule 3): Matters relating to the licensing and disciplining of building practitioners.
Part 5 (and Schedule 4): Miscellaneous matters including offences and criminal proceedings, implied
terms of contracts for residential building work, regulation-making powers, amendments to other
enactments and the repeal of the Building Act 1991, and the transitional provisions from the Building
Act 1991 to the Building Act 2004.
4.4 Amendments 2012

The Building Amendment Act 2012 came into force on 13 March 2012. It results from a review of the Building
Act 2004 carried out in 2009 and 2010.
The provisions of the Building Amendment Act 2012 coming into force immediately are:
An Owner-Builder Exemption from Restricted Building Work (new sections 90A - 90D). If a homeowner
meets the prescribed requirements they are able to carry-out critical structural and weathertightness
building work to their home.
New provisions clearly stating the responsibilities of the parties involved in building work (new sections
14A - 14F) with corresponding changes to the purposes and principles of the Act in sections 3 and 4.
Changes to the names of certain documents. Memoranda are changed to Record of Work and
Certificate of Work. A Certificate of Work is a document stating that work complies with the Building
Code, and a Record of Work is a document stating the building work a practitioner has done.
Specification of the Minister of Conservation as the territorial authority for certain offshore islands.
Expansion of the definition of party for the purposes of determinations (section 176).
Clarification of some aspects of the licensed building practitioners scheme, including some new
grounds for discipline (section 317). A licensed building practitioner:
must not misrepresent their competence
must carry out or supervise building work only within their competence
LEGISLATION
Amendments 2012
Page 628
14
must not behave in a way that brings, or is likely to bring, the licensed building practitioner regime
into disrepute
must not breach the Code of Ethics prescribed under section 314A (note that a Code of Ethics has
not yet been prescribed).
Repeal of Section 363B, which required building work on public buildings carried out before March
2005 to have a Code Compliance Certificate by March 2010 - the effect being that this building work
does not have to have a Code Compliance Certificate by any specific date
Changes to requirements for compliance schedules and Building Warrants of Fitness.
The majority of the Amendment Act, creating the risk-based consenting system, will be brought into force by
Order in Council after regulations containing the details of the system are made.
Compliance Schedule and Building Warrant of Fitness changes
A building (not including detached houses/dwellings) requires a compliance schedule if it has a specified
system. Compliance schedules detail the inspection, maintenance and reporting procedures for each of the
specified systems in the building. Every 12 months the owner is required to produce a Building Warrant of
Fitness certifying that these procedures have been carried out.
The main changes coming into force immediately regarding compliance schedules and Building Warrant of
Fitness requirements
Clarifying when a compliance schedule needs to be amended
Section 106 of the Act is amended to make it clear when a building owner must apply to have their
compliance schedule amended to align with the requirements of the Building Act 2004. This includes
removing systems and features that are no longer listed as specified systems and adding specified systems
that are in the building but not on the compliance schedule. This amendment ties in with the additional
content requirements of a compliance schedule (below). Building owners should apply for any amendments
as soon as practicable, but in any case must do so before their next building warrant of fitness is due (The
intention being all compliance schedules are updated within a year of the amendments taking effect)
New requirements for content of a compliance schedule
It has been made clear that a compliance schedule is required to include a system description of each
specified system. See pages 14 and 17 of the compliance schedule handbook for guidance on system
descriptions.
Note: None of these changes require building owners to upgrade the systems in their building to a greater
level of compliance than what they were originally installed to.
Other changes
There are a number of less significant changes including:
Establishing a procedure for obtaining a compliance schedule where there is no building consent
In some cases a person may need to obtain a compliance schedule where no building work is being carried
out (and thus no building consent is required). This could apply, for example, if installation of the specified
system did not require a building consent or a building owner has never obtained a compliance schedule, or
when an additional system is added in regulation and the building does not already have a compliance
schedule. The Act now establishes a process to follow to obtain a compliance schedule in these
circumstances. See new section 102A.
When a compliance schedule must be issued
Section 102 of the Act has been amended requiring building consent authorities and territorial authorities to
ensure they are satisfied that the specified systems for the building are capable of performing to the
performance standards for those systems before they issue the compliance schedule.
Removing the need for independently qualified persons to be licensed building practitioners
The Building Act 2004 originally provided that, after a period of time, independently qualified persons would
be replaced by licensed building practitioners (licensed in system inspection and maintenance). This
requirement has now been removed so the Act only refers to independently qualified person in relation to
inspection and maintenance of specified systems. This reflects the nature of various trades involved in
inspection and maintenance and the misalignment with the licensed building practitioner scheme. The
amendments also introduce a definition of independently qualified persons (see Section 7).
Cable cars
Section 100 of the Act has been amended to allow a cable car that services multiple buildings to only have
one compliance schedule for that cable car.. The amendment allows for this to occur but does not make
having just one compliance schedule compulsory.

Amendments 2010

Possibility for new prescribed information to be included in a compliance schedule statement
Section 105(e), relating to compliance schedule statements, has been amended to allow further information
to be prescribed which, in turn, will be required to be included on a compliance schedule statement. At this
stage, no extra information has been prescribed and therefore compliance schedule statements can be
issued as normal.
4.5 Amendments 2010

The Building Amendment Act 2010 came into force on 7 July 2010. It included some changes to the
determinations provisions in the Building Act 2004, such as extending the range of Council decisions which
can be the subject of a determination. It also contained a small number of technical adjustments to other
sections of the Building Act 2004."
4.6 Initial Effects from November 2004

The Department of Building and Housing was established on 1 November 2004, when the name of the
Ministry of Housing was changed to the Department of Building and Housing. The Department took over the
Ministry of Housings responsibilities on that date.
The Department became responsible for the Building Act 2004 on 30 November 2004, when the first parts of
the Act came into force. The Chief Executive of the Department became responsible for appointing an
Advisory Panel for building issues, monitoring building consent authorities, and making determinations.
The Building Industry Authority (BIA) was dissolved. It was an eight-member entity that managed New
Zealands building legislation under the 1991 Building Act. The Authority was supported in its work by a team
of technical and professional staff. BIA staff transferred to the Department of Building and Housing, along
with the building policy team from the Ministry of Economic Development.
The Chief Executive of the Department of Building and Housing dealt with the resolution of any outstanding
issues (such as determinations not completed by the Authority under transitional provisions included in the
Building Act 2004.)
Housing-related policy advice and some administrative functions, performed by other government
departments, were gradually transferred to the Department of Building and Housing
1 December 2004 - Retirement villages (Ministry of Social Development)
1 February 2005 - Housing standards work (Housing New Zealand Corporation)
1 July 2005 - Weathertight Homes Resolution Service (Department of Internal Affairs)
Mandatory warranties to protect consumers
Consumer protection measures in the Act set out certain warranties that are implied in all building contracts
for household units, whether specified in the contract or not. These include the expectation that the work will
be done competently using suitable materials, completed within a reasonable time, and that the household
unit will be suitable for occupation.
Restrictions to the sale of household units by property developers
The Building Act 2004 introduces important consumer protection measures covering the sale of household
units by residential property developers, including spec builders.
It is now an offence for a residential property developer to complete the sale, or allow a purchaser to take
possession, of a household unit before a code compliance certificate (CCC) has been issued. Effectively, this
makes it the developers responsibility to fix any faults before sale. This offence does not apply to contracts
for sale and purchase entered into before 30 November 2004.
It is possible for purchasers to agree to contract out of this requirement, but only by using a prescribed form.
The form makes clear to the purchaser what having no CCC may mean for them, for example, that finance
and insurance may be affected.
Offence provisions
Powers to impose a range of fines for offences also came into effect on 30 November 2004. These allow for
using infringement notices for minor offences. The maximum fine for the most serious offence is $200,000.
Infringement offences are set by regulations.
Policy on dangerous, earthquake-prone and insanitary buildings
Territorial authorities became obliged to adopt a policy on dangerous, earthquake-prone and insanitary
buildings before 31 May 2006
LEGISLATION
Licensed Building Practitioners
Page 630

4.7 Licensed Building Practitioners
This scheme was introduced in November 2007. From 1 March 2012, building practitioners must be licensed
in order to carry out or supervise work on homes and small-medium sized apartment buildings that is critical
to the integrity of the building.
This 'restricted building work includes the design and construction of foundations, framing, roofing and
cladding. It also applies to the design of active fire safety systems in small-medium sized apartment
buildings.
From 1 March 2012 it has been an offence with a fine of up to $20,000 for a building practitioner to carry out
restricted building work unless they or someone supervising their work is appropriately licensed.
Licence categories
Licence classes in the Licensed Building Practitioner scheme are based on specific roles or occupations that
are crucial to a building's performance. Current licence classes are:
Design, for building designer, with area of practice 1, 2 or 3
Site, for builder, site supervisor or construction manager, responsible for coordinating, overseeing or
managing building work, with area of practice 1, 2 or 3
Carpentry
Roofing
External Plastering
Bricklaying and blocklaying
Foundations
Area of practice
The area of practice 1, 2 or 3, as shown above, relates to three categories of buildings, which are:
Building Category Description
Category 1 buildings Single household dwellings with low or medium-risk envelope design
Category 2 buildings Single household dwellings with high-risk envelope design, or any
other buildings with a building height less than 10 m
Category 3 buildings Buildings greater than 10 m in building height, except single
household dwellings.
Note: Building height is the vertical distance between the floors of the buildings lowest and highest
storeys.
For the Design licence, the following applies
Category of building Design area of practice
Category 1 buildings Design area of practice 1
Category 1 and 2 buildings Design area of practice 2
Category 1, 2 and 3 buildings Design area of practice 3
For the Site licence, the following applies

Type of Work and Category of Building Site area of practice
Coordinate and oversee the construction or alteration of Site area of practice 1
Category 1 buildings
Coordinate and oversee the construction or alteration of Site area of practice 2
Category 1, 2 and 3 buildings
Manage some or all of the construction or alteration of Site area of practice 3
Category 1, 2 and 3 buildings
4.8 The Building Practitioners Board

The Building Practitioners Board (the Board) is an integral part of the Licensed Building Practitioners (LBP)
scheme. The Board is independent of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment though the
Ministry supports its role and functions.
LEGISLATION
The LBP Rules
Page 631
14
Board members are appointed by the Governor-General on the recommendation of the Minister for Building
and Construction. The Board has 8 members with a mix of skills. These include industry expertise in design,
construction and inspection services, law, dispute resolution and mediation skills.
Although some Board members belong to industry groups, they act independently in their role as Board
members. Board membership is reviewed as members terms expire.
What we do
The Building Practitioners Board (the Board) oversees the Licensed Building Practitioners (LBP) scheme.
The Boards functions are divided into four main areas:
Hear appeals against licensing decisions made by the Registrar
Investigate and hear complaints about the conduct of Licensed Building Practitioners
Approve rules about Licensed Building Practitioners (the LBP Rules)
Report annually to the Minister for Building and Construction on its activities
Who we are
The Board has 6 members with a mix of skills. These include industry expertise in design, construction and
inspection services, law, dispute resolution and mediation skills.
4.9 The LBP Rules

The Licensed Building Practitioners Rules 2007 (the Rules) are central to the LBP scheme. To become
licensed, or continue to be licensed, building practitioners must comply with the Rules.
The Rules set out the performance indicators and competencies for each licence class and area of practice
and should be read in conjunction with the Building (Designation of Building Work Licensing Classes) Order
2010 the Building Order 2010. These measures are used to decide whether to license practitioners.
The Board uses the Rules and Building Order 2010 as a measure in complaint investigations and appeal
hearings.
LEGISLATION
Commerce Act 1986 13
Purpose and Coverage
Page 632
14
5 Commerce Act 1986
5.1 Purpose and Coverage
The purpose of the Commerce Act is to promote competition in markets for the long term benefit of
consumers in New Zealand. The Act applies to all individuals and businesses, including state-owned
enterprises, local government and government departments, to the extent to which they engage in trade.
Competition is important to the New Zealand economy because it encourages innovation and investment,
and this benefits New Zealand consumers by providing the best possible prices, quality and choice.
The Commissions role under the Commerce Act is to prevent harm to the New Zealand economy by
deterring or challenging anti-competitive conduct. The Commission investigates anti-competitive activities
under the Commerce Act and frequently takes enforcement action where breaches are found.
This is a brief summary of some of the key provisions of the Commerce Act 1986. This summary is a guide
only and should not be used instead of legal advice. Only the courts can make an authoritative ruling on
breaches of the Commerce Act.
Market
Market is defined as a market in New Zealand for goods and services, as well as other goods and services
that, as a matter of fact and commercial common sense, are substitutable for them. In other words, a market
includes only those products or services that are seen as close substitutes for each other by customers,
competitors and suppliers.
Competition
The Act defines competition as workable or effective competition. Competition is a process of rivalry
between businesses to win customers. Businesses may compete on price, service, quality and/or through
innovation.
5.2 Key Functions

The Commerce Act:
prohibits anti-competitive conduct (Part 2 of the Act);
prohibits mergers that have the effect or likely effect of substantial lessening of competition (Part 3 of
the Act);
provides for certain anti-competitive arrangements and mergers to be authorised, if public benefits
outweigh the likely negative effects (Part 5 of the Act).
The Commerce Act prohibits two broad kinds of anti-competitive conduct:
collusive conduct - agreements that involve a number of people or businesses
unilateral conduct - where a single business is involved in anti-competitive conduct
5.3 Collusive Conduct

There are two key provisions which relate to collusive conduct:
Section 27 of the Commerce Act is a broad provision that makes anti-competitive agreements
unlawful. The agreement may either be between competitors or between suppliers and customers.
The agreement need not be a formal written agreement it may also be an informal agreement or
understanding. Section 27 makes it unlawful both to enter into and give effect to anti-competitive
agreements.
Section 30 of the Act, which prohibits price fixing. This is when people or businesses that are in
competition with each other agree to control, fix or maintain the prices for the goods and services they
supply. It includes such conduct as bid rigging, market sharing and agreements to restrict output.
Section 30 agreements which fix, control or maintain prices
Price fixing is not only limited to agreements between competitors where a specific price of a good or service
is set. Any agreement between competitors that interferes with how a price is reached is also illegal under the
Commerce Act.
There are four kinds of agreements between competitors that are illegal because they tend to fix, control or
maintain prices. These are:
price fixing;
bid rigging;
market sharing;
LEGISLATION
Exceptions
Page 633
14
and output restrictions.
Price Fixing is when there is an agreement between competitors to fix, control or maintain the price,
or any component of the price of goods and services. In effect, price fixing includes any agreement or
behaviour that interferes with how the price is reached by each competitor individually. It includes
agreements to:
set a minimum price;
eliminate or reduce discounts;
adopt a formula for calculating price;
increase prices; or
maintain prices.
Bid Rigging, or collusive tendering, is a type of price fixing where there is an agreement between
competitors about which of them should win a bid. The customer is unaware that these bidders are
not actually competing with each other to offer the lowest price.
Market Sharing, or market allocation, is where competitors agree to divide up markets between them-
selves. This could be by allocating customers, products or geographic regions to each other.
Output Restrictions occur where competitors agree to reduce or restrict output of a good or service
with the aim of limiting production, then maintaining or increasing prices.
Attempts to Breach section 27 and/or section 30
It is also unlawful for a business or an employee to:
attempt to reach an agreement that breaches section 27 and/or section 30;
induce another person to breach section 27 and/or section 30; and/or
aid or assist another person in breaching section 27 and/or section 30.
More information about price fixing is available on the Commission's website, at
www.comcom.govt.nz/price-fixing-and-cartels/
5.4 Exceptions
There are some exceptions in the Act where an agreement between competitors to fix, control or maintain
prices between competitors may not be illegal. These include:
where two or more businesses are involved in a joint venture (section 31);
certain joint buying or advertising arrangements (section 33); and
partnership arrangements between individuals (section 44(1)(a)).
Price Recommendations
There is also an exception for price recommendations where there are 50 or more parties to the agreement
for a recommended price, and it is a genuine recommendation (section 32). In other words, the exception
only applies where the parties to the agreement are free to depart from the recommendation and decide for
themselves at what prices they will actually sell the goods or services.
LEGISLATION
Unilateral Conduct
Page 634
14
5.5 Unilateral Conduct
Unilateral conduct is where a single business is involved in anti-competitive conduct.
Section 36 makes it unlawful for any business with a substantial degree of market power to use that power to
deter or prevent rival businesses from competing effectively. Section 36 seeks to prevent harm to the
economy. Businesses with market power can damage competition in a number of ways, for example, by
preventing entry or driving a rival out of business. This tends to harm consumers who may have to pay
higher prices and reduce the incentives for the business to be efficient, harming the economy.
Section 36 has three key requirements, all of which must be met to establish a breach of the law. A business
must:
have a substantial degree of market power; and
be taking advantage of that power; and
have an anti-competitive purpose.
Resale Price Maintenance is unlawful under Sections 37 and 38 of the Act. Resale price maintenance
occurs when a supplier of goods enforces, or tries to enforce, a minimum price at which the reseller
must on-sell those goods. A reseller may be a distributor or a retailer. Resale price maintenance pre-
vents resellers from setting their prices independently and can lead to increased prices for consum-
ers.
More information about resale price maintenance is available on the Commission's website, at
www.comcom.govt.nz/resale-price-maintenance/
5.6 Trade Associations

Members of trade or industry associations are usually competitors. This means that care must be taken to
ensure that associations and individual members do not engage in anti-competitive conduct that may breach
the Commerce Act 1986. An individual member of a trade association can be held liable if the trade
association they belong to acts in an anti-competitive way, even if this has occurred without the individuals
knowledge or involvement.
Agreements entered into by trade association deemed to be entered into by all members
Under Section 2(8)(a) of the Act any agreement entered into by a trade association is considered to be
entered into by all the associations members. In other words, this section deems all the members of an
association to be parties to any agreement made by that association, regardless of an individual members
involvement or knowledge of the agreement, unless one of the following two situations apply:
Section 2(9)(a) states that a member will not be seen as party to an agreement made by the
association if the member expressly notifies the association in writing that they wish to disassociate
themselves from the agreement, and who then takes steps to disassociate themselves.
Section 2(9)(b) states that if a member can establish that they had no knowledge, and could not
reasonably have been expected to have any knowledge of the agreement, they will not be deemed to
be a party to the agreement.
More information about trade associations is available on the Commission's website, at
www.comcom.govt.nz/guidelines-for-trade-associations/
5.7 Authorisations under the Act

The Commission can authorise an anti-competitive agreement where it is satisfied that the benefits to the
public outweigh the harm of the agreement. The Commission views public benefit as any gain and
detriment as any loss to the public of New Zealand, and such gains and losses are measured in terms of
economic efficiency.
The Commission has developed a process that enables the Commission to make a quicker decision on some
authorisation applications. The streamlined authorisation process applies to applications that:
the Commission considers are relatively straightforward;
have obvious public benefits; and
the Commission expects will have a relatively limited impact on competition in the relevant market.
More information about authorisations is available on the Commissions website, at www.comcom.govt.nz/
streamlined-authorisation-process-guidelines/
LEGISLATION
Leniency Policy
Page 635
14
5.8 Leniency Policy
The Commission has a leniency policy to encourage those in a cartel to stop their involvement, break up the
cartel and limit the damage caused by the cartel. The first cartel member to inform us about the cartel will
receive immunity from prosecution by the Commission. To qualify for immunity, the cartel member must
continue to fully cooperate in the investigation and any subsequent proceedings.
In addition, where immunity is no longer available, cartel members may still get significant benefit from
cooperating with the Commission throughout the investigation and in any court proceedings. Under a
cooperation agreement, we offer cartel members leniency in exchange for evidence, information, and/or
admissions during the investigation and any subsequent court proceedings. Leniency would typically include
the Commission recommending a lower level of penalty to a court. Cartel members that cooperate as early
as possible in an investigation are likely to get the greatest benefit.
More information on the Commissions leniency policy and process guidelines is available on the
Commissions website at www.comcom.govt.nz/cartel-leniency-policy
5.9 Penalties
If the Court finds that an individual or body corporate has breached the Commerce Act, penalties can be
heavy. The maximum penalties are for an individual, $500,000 or for an organisation, the greater of:
$10 million or
three times the commercial gain resulting from the breach (if this can be readily worked out) or 10% of
turnover.
5.10 Mergers
New Zealands merger regime is voluntary, meaning there is no legal requirement for businesses to tell the
Commission about a proposed merger. Businesses can go ahead with a merger without applying for
clearance from the Commission. However, if a merger does raise competition issues, going ahead without a
clearance may put a business at risk of legal action from the Commission or others.
Businesses should seek independent legal advice about whether their proposed merger raises competition
issues. If a proposed merger is likely to substantially lessen competition in a market, businesses may either:
apply to the Commission for a clearance; or
apply to the Commission for an authorisation on the basis that the public benefits of the proposed
acquisition will outweigh the anti-competitive detriments.
Please refer to the Commissions website (www.comcom.govt.nz) to see factsheets explaining more about all
these provisions.
LEGISLATION
Construction Contracts Act 13
Introduction
Page 636
14
6 Construction Contracts Act
6.1 Introduction
The Construction Contracts Act 2002 took effect from 1 April 2003. Typically, construction industry contracts
provide for work to be paid after the work has been carried out. Payments are made by instalments as the
work progresses. This pattern of payments means that a developer, principal, or head-contractor with cash-
flow problems may delay payment for work done and, in effect, use those further down the contractual chain
to partly finance the construction project.
6.2 2013 Review of the Act

There is an amendment bill currently progressing through the legislative stages in Parliament, submissions
closed on 25 July 2013, and the select committee report is due on 11 December 2013. This bill can be
accessed on the government legislation website, www.legislation.govt.nz, or on the parliamentary website,
www.parliament.nz, see Quick Links, Bills before select committee.
The intention of this Bill are to make the existing adjudication process a faster, more cost-effective, and
efficient option for people with disputes under construction contracts. The amendments will:
remove most of the distinctions between how the Act applies to residential and commercial
construction contracts (except in relation to the use of charging orders as a remedy for non-payment)
widen the definition of construction work to include design, engineering, and quantity surveying work
remove the distinction between enforcement of payment determinations and rights and obligations
determinations
speed up enforcement processes by reducing the amount of time a defendant has to oppose an
application to have a determination entered as a judgment
clarify procedural matters, such as how to seek time extensions to respond to adjudication claims
require adjudicators to convene a pre-adjudication conference to answer questions parties have about
the process
clarify how determinations can be appealed against, contested, and reviewed
make other minor and technical amendments
6.3 Objectives of the Act

The purpose of this Act is to reform the law relating to construction contracts, and in particular:
to facilitate regular and timely payments between the parties to a construction contract.
to provide for the speedy resolution of disputes arising under a construction contract.
to provide remedies for the recovery of payments under a construction contract.
The Act achieves this by:
invalidating pay if paid and pay when paid clauses of construction contracts;
setting out default provisions that require (except in the case of home owners) periodic payments to be
made within the construction industry, unless the parties to a construction contract have specifically
agreed otherwise;
providing that payment may not be withheld unless a notice has been given to the payee that states
adequate reasons for withholding the money;
establishing a quick and inexpensive adjudication process for resolving disputes, that allows a binding
(but not final) determination to be made in relation to, among other things, whether any of the parties to
a construction contract are liable to pay an amount under the contract;
allowing a party to a construction contract to suspend work if that party has not been paid without good
reason;
enabling a party to a construction contract who is owed money for carrying out construction work under
the contract, in certain limited circumstances, to register a charge against the construction site, if that
site is owned by a person related to the party owing the money.
LEGISLATION
Employment Relations 13
Introduction
Page 637
14
7 Employment Relations
7.1 Introduction
The Employment Relations Act 2000 had effect from 2 October 2000, when it replaced the Employment
Contracts Act 1991. From 2 October 2000, the legal requirements for employment relationships have
changed. Any new collective or individual employment agreement after this date needs to comply with the
requirements of the Employment Relations Act.
The ERA has been amended numerous times, in 2001, 2004 and 2008, the latest time to add trial
employment periods for new employees of small and medium size businesses.
The 2004 Amendment Act addressed breaches of the duty of good faith between an employer and an
employee.
The 2006 Amendment Act addressed the issue of continuity of employment where the employees work was
affected by restructuring.
7.2 Objectives
The goal of the Act is to build productive employment relations between employers, employees and unions.
Specifically, the Act:
promotes good employment relationships and mutual respect and confidence between employers,
employees and unions.
sets the environment for individual and collective employment relationships.
sets out requirements for the negotiation and content of collective and individual employment
agreements.
provides prompt and flexible options for resolving problems in employment relationships.
7.3 Existing Agreements

The terms and conditions of all existing individual or collective employment contracts remained the same on
2 October 2000. Any disputes or grievances in existence at that date continue to be dealt with under the rules
of the Employment Contracts Act 1991.
7.4 Good Faith

The principle of good faith is an essential part of the Act. Good faith requires the parties to employment
relationships, including unions, employers and employees, to deal with each other on the basis of fair dealing
and mutual trust and confidence. This includes, but is not limited to, not directly or indirectly misleading or
deceiving each other.
In respect of collective bargaining, the core good faith duties include, but are not limited to, the obligations to:
meet, consider and respond to any proposals made.
respect the role of the other partys representative by not bargaining or communicating with those for
whom the representative acts, about employment conditions.
fairly represent the other partys position in the negotiations to those on whose behalf the other party is
acting.
provide relevant information necessary for the purposes of negotiations.
If either party to an employment relationship fails to comply with the duty of good faith they are liable to a
penalty if the failure was deliberate, serious or sustained or the failure was intended to undermine or the
failure was a breach of Section 59 of the Act.
7.5 Freedom of Association

The Bill provides for voluntary membership of unions, and not allowing any person to exert undue influence in
employment arrangements, in order to influence the choice of whether to belong to a union or not.
7.6 Unions
Union membership is voluntary. Unions can represent both individuals and groups of employees. To support
their role, unions will be able to enter workplaces to:
negotiate or enforce employment agreements.
deal with safety and health matters affecting members.
provide information about unions.
recruit new members.
LEGISLATION
Independent Contractors
Page 638
14
In order to operate unions will be required to:
gain legal recognition by applying for registration to the Registrar of Unions.
be incorporated societies with at least 2 members, and have rules dealing with how collective
agreements are ratified, how officers are elected, and the rights of members.
7.7 Independent Contractors

The Act defines independent or self-employed contractors thus. If all or most of the following features are
present in a work relationship, it is likely to be a contract for services involving a self-employed contractor:
the intention of the parties to the contract is not to form an employment relationship, and this is
reflected in the contract and/or the behaviour of the parties.
the contract controls how and when the job is done.
payment is made in a lump sum at the end of a job, or in instalments as progress is made on the job.
the contractor can choose who does the job and can hire other people without approval from the other
party.
the contractor pays any tax, ACC and insurance directly.
the contractor can make a profit or suffer a loss directly.
the contractor supplies equipment and materials.
the contractor is free to accept similar work from a number of sources at the same time.
7.8 Collective Agreement and Bargaining

Only registered unions and employers will be able to negotiate and enter into Collective Agreements (CAs).
Every Collective Agreement must:
state the term of the agreement.
describe the coverage of the agreement.
make provision for variations to the agreement during its term.
be in writing.
have a maximum term of 3 years.
All CAs will have an implied term (which may be varied or excluded by agreement) that employees bound by
it will continue to be employed by the employer for the term of the agreement. This does not, however, limit or
affect an employers right to dismiss an employee for just cause.
7.9 Fixed-Term Agreements

Fixed-term agreements can be used, as long as the nature of the work is genuinely fixed-term, and the term
of the agreement is explained to the employee at the outset. Fixed-term agreements cannot be used in order
to terminate employment without using normal dismissal procedures.
7.10 Strikes and Lockouts

Under the Act employees are able to lawfully strike in pursuit of single or multi-party collective agreements,
but only after the expiry of an existing CA and where the parties have been negotiating for more than 40
days. Employers have the right to lockout employees in the same circumstances
During industrial action employers will not be able to:
lawfully dismiss affected employees.
lock out employees not involved in the collective bargain.
require employees not involved in the collective bargaining to perform work which would otherwise be
performed by the affected employees
hire replacement employees to perform this work, unless there are safety and health reasons to do so.
Where strike action occurs, and normal work is unavailable as a result of the strike, an employer may
suspend non-striking employees without pay.
7.11 Access to Information

Claims made when bargaining for a collective agreement must be able to be backed up by information. For
example, if the union claims there is a risk of a labour shortage in the industry, the employer can ask for
evidence, or if an employer claims that profits are expected to be tight in the coming year, the union can ask
for evidence.
LEGISLATION
Access to Information
Page 639
14
A request for evidence must be in writing, it has to identify specifically the information sought and has to
identify specifically the claim it relates to. A reasonable time frame must be given for the information to be
supplied.
If either party believe the information needs to be kept confidential, parties can agree on an independent
reviewer to protect the information and make a decision on the point in question.
If the reviewer agrees the information should be kept confidential, the reviewer will then report on whether it
backs up the claim.
If the reviewer decides that some or all of the information does not need to be kept confidential, the reviewer
will advise both parties and return the information to the party that provided it. That party should then, in good
faith, provide the information to the other party.
The information can only be used for the bargaining process. It cannot be shown to anyone else.

Historic Places Act 1993 13
Registration under the Act
Page 640

8 Historic Places Act 1993
8.1 Registration under the Act
The Historic Places Act 1993 introduced the new register of historic places, historic areas, wahi tapu and
wahi tapu areas. Prior to the introduction of the new register the Trust had been identifying and classifying
certain types of heritage places, but the register coordinates this process and widens the scope of what
potentially has heritage significance. The new register includes places and structures such as buildings and
archaeological sites, but now can also include trees, gardens, cemeteries, and many other types of heritage
places. It also recognises places of special significance to Maori.
The register is in four parts: historic places, historic areas, wahi tapu and wahi tapu areas.
8.2 Categories
Historic places are further divided into Category 1 and Category 2. Category 1 historic places are places of
special or outstanding historical or cultural heritage significance or value. Category 2 historic places are
places of historical or cultural heritage significance or value.
Under the previous Act buildings were classified as A, B, C and D. Previous A and B buildings are now
category 1 historic places, and the previous Cs and Ds are now category 2 historic places.
8.3 Purpose of Registration

Under the Historic Places Act 1993 registration is primarily an advocacy toolit is the Trust's means of
identifying what is considered to be significant heritage items.
Registration carries no legal responsibility for the owner. It does not require any extra maintenance of the
registered property nor does registration prevent an owner doing what they may like with the property,
including modifying, selling or even demolishing it.
However, needless to say, if the Trust has recognised the heritage value of a property through registration, it
would prefer not to see these values compromised through inappropriate modifications or through demolition.
The Trust suggests that it views copies of plans for proposed conservation work prior to the work
commencing, to ensure the proposed work will not compromise the heritage values of the property.
The Trusts register is also given to Territorial Authorities, who are required to take it into account when
issuing resource consents for works. They may require consultation with the Trust as part of this consent
process.
8.4 Heritage Orders

The Trust retains the legal right to place an heritage order under the Resource Management Act 1991 on a
registered property if it considers the situation justifies it. A heritage order has the effect of preventing any
work at all happening on a property without the permission of the Trust. The Trust sees the heritage order
process as being a last resort, and one that is undertaken very rarely.

9.1 Amendment Underway
The Act was streamlined in 2009. The reprint as at 1 July 2013 can be found on the www.legislation.govt.nz
site. The Government has signalled significant changes for the 2013/2014 legislative calendar.
9.2 Overview
The Resource Management Act 1991 promotes the sustainable management of natural and physical
resources. Sustainable management is defined as meaning the managing of the use, development and
protection of those resources in a way, or at a rate, which enables people and communities to provide for
their social, economic and cultural well being and for their health and safety. This is to be carried out while:
sustaining the potential of resources for future generations;
safeguarding the life-supporting capacity of the environment; and
avoiding, remedying or mitigating adverse environmental effects.
As local authorities' plans are reviewed and revised in line with the Act, they are concerned with the
environmental effects of activities rather than with activities themselves.
9.3 Consents
Unless activities are allowed as of right under the relevant district or regional plans provisions (subject to
compliance with performance controls, such as noise levels) a resource consent will be required before an
activity can be commenced. There are five types of resource consent: land use consent; subdivision consent;
coastal permit; water permit; and discharge permit.
In the case of fully complying activities which are permitted as of right in the relevant district plan it is prudent
to obtain a certificate of compliance from the council before the activity begins. This confirms that the activity
is permitted in the form proposed, and safeguards against changes being made to the plan which would alter
the status of the activity.
A resource consent is not the same as a building consent under the Building Act, and a building consent is
not a substitute for a resource consent, or vice versa.
Land use and subdivision consents are granted by district councils; water and discharge permits are granted
by regional councils; coastal permits are granted by regional councils. Consent for restricted coastal
activities must be obtained from the Minister of Conservation.
9.4 Activity Types

The Act defines a number of types of activity. These are:
permitted activitiesallowed by a district plan without a resource consent, although conditions may
be imposed;
controlled activitiesspecified as such in a plan, and allowed only if a resource consent is obtained.
The application may not need to be publicly notified, and the authority may impose conditions on the
consent;
discretionary activitiesspecified in a plan as requiring a resource consent, to be granted in
accordance with criteria in the Act or in a plan;
non-complying activitiescontravene a plan but are not prohibited. Resource consent is required;
prohibited activitiesexpressly prohibited in the plan and for which no resource consent shall be
granted, i.e. Consent will not be possible, even if conditions are met.
LEGISLATION
Functions
Page 642
14
9.5 Functions
Central government functions are split between the Minister of the Environment and the Minister of
Conservation. The Minister of the Environment has a discretion to issue national policy statements on
matters of national significance, and has power to call in any resource consent application which is of
national significance and which is then dealt with by a board of inquiry appointed by the minister. The Minister
of Conservation has the responsibility for coastal matters generally and in particular the preparation of New
Zealand coastal policy statement and approval of regional coastal plans.
The documents by which central government can set policy and participate in the resource management
process are national policy statements, national environmental standards, and New Zealand coastal policy
statements.
National policy statements deal with matters of national significance and are binding on the plans of regional
and territorial authorities. National environmental standards set out more detailed and technical
requirements, particularly for standards of water, air and soil quality, and noise levels.
Regional councils are responsible for the regional effects of land use, soil conservation, activities on the beds
of lakes and rivers, other matters in respect of the quality and quantity of water, pollution management
generally (and the management of hazardous substances and discharges of contaminants in particular), and
the taking and use of geothermal energy.
Territorial authorities (i.e. District and City Councils) are obliged to prepare district plans and rules which must
be consistent with national and regional policy statements and regional plans.
The functions of territorial authorities extend only to the resources of that district or city, principally land
protection and controls of land use, subdivision, noise and the effects of activities on the surface of rivers and
lakes. Activities not referred to in the district plan are deemed to be non-complying activities.
Any person is entitled to make submission to a consent authority, and following that appeal to the planning
tribunal, in respect of a notified application for consent. Objections to an application on the sole basis of trade
competition are not permitted.
9.6 Time Limits

A number of time limits are imposed at various stages of an application or the review of the provisions of a
district or regional plan. For example, where public notification of a resource consent application is required,
this must occur within 10 working days of receipt of the application; submissions must be made no later than
the 20th working day after notification; consent authorities must notify decisions on consent applications
within 15 working days after the conclusion of hearings, and within 20 working days after receipt of
applications for non-notified applications; appeals from consent authority decisions must be lodged with the
planning tribunal and served on the authority within 15 working days from receipt of the decision.
There are provisions in the Act for streamlining the procedures by way of pre-hearing meetings convened by
consent authorities for mediation purposes, and for joint hearing where different consent authorities are
involved.
However, deadlines can be extended by consent authorities if it is decided more information in respect of an
application is required.
9.7 Information To Be Supplied

The Act imposes a high standard of supporting information to accompany applications, including a detailed
environmental impact assessment. How much detail is required will depend on the nature of the activity for
which consent is required. All possible effects of a proposed activity must be dealt with in this assessment
report, often requiring input from a multi-disciplinary team. If information is omitted or inadequate, it could
result in an application being significantly delayed, and/or being turned down.
Regional and territorial authorities are empowered to fix charges for a range of activities including plan
changes, processing consent applications, information gathering and monitoring, and providing information
to applicants, consent holders and the general public.
In some circumstances, local authorities may also impose charges in order to recover their actual and
reasonable costs. These charges are in addition to resource contributions, bonds or other financial
contributions which may be required as conditions of resource consents.
While the aim of the legislation is to streamline the resource consent process, there are a number of
opportunities for increases in costs and delays, most of which are met by resource consent applicants.
LEGISLATION
Prosecutions and Remedies
Page 643

9.8 Prosecutions and Remedies
Declarations can be made by the planning tribunal, on application by any person, in respect of interpretation
of the Act and whether or not a breach of the Act or rule in a plan has occurred.
Enforcement orders are obtainable by anyone from the tribunal, restraining activity in breach of the Act or
requiring compliance. These can be granted on an urgent, interim basis.
Abatement notices are issued by enforcement officers, requiring the cessation of an activity which is in
breach of the Act, a plan or resource consent, or which is environmentally dangerous.
9.9 Offences and Penalties

Strict liability is imposed in respect of offences for breach, or permitting a breach, of the duties and
restrictions created by the Act. This means that it is not necessary for the prosecution to prove an intention to
commit the offence. Defences may be available where adequate remediation has been taken and;
the action complained of was necessary to save or protect life, health, property or the environment;
the conduct of the defendant was reasonable in the circumstances;
the action or event was due to an unforeseeable event beyond the defendants control.
If a prosecution for offences under the Act is successful, the maximum penalties are two years imprisonment
or a fine of $200,000, plus $10,000 a day for continuing offences. Principals are liable for the acts of their
agents, and there is no indemnity allowed for company directors.

1 Revenue Recognition
1.1 Overview
The recognition of income and deductibility of expenditure on LTCC'sLong Term Construction Contracts,
i.e., those exceeding 12 monthshas been an issue between Inland Revenue and taxpayers for some time.
There are currently no specific provisions on LTCCs in the Income Tax Act.
Generally, Inland Revenue will not accept a completed contracts method unless payment is only on
completion of the project.
The Valabh Committee was set up and considered inter alia this issue. It is interesting to note that the
Government agrees generally with the Committee's proposals on LTCC's but has decided that retentions
should not be excluded from the percentage of completion computation unless the contractor has reasonable
grounds for considering that such retentions will not be received.
Other proposals, such as thresholds below which no income should be recognised from the project, are still
under consideration.
1.2 Recommendations
The Committee's recommendations to Government include:
New Provision. A new provision be introduced dealing specifically with the costing and revenue recognition
on LTCC's.
Project Costs. The cost of a construction project include direct costs that can be specifically traced to
projects (such as direct materials and labour) and indirect costs that are related to the general contract
activity and can be objectively allocated to individual projects-such as insurance and supervision costs.
The deductibility of project costs be governed by the capital or revenue classification of the project and the
timing of revenue recognition, and in particular:-
the classification of projects between capital and revenue be in accordance with the Committee's
recommendations.
the deductibility of the costs of capital projects only be through the depreciation tax provisions; and
the deductibility of revenue projects be based on the timing of revenue recognition.
Project Revenue. The revenue from a long-term construction project that is on revenue account where there
is a pre-determined sale, be determined in accordance with a percentage of completion formulae, whereby
the amount of project revenue that is recognised in an income year is the total budgeted revenue to be
received multiplied by the percentage completion of the project. This is consistent with Financial Reporting
Standard FRS-14.
In revenue projects for which the percentage of completion basis is used, any actual costs incurred in
an income year be deductible as incurred;
The revenue from all other long-term construction projects on revenue account be recognised when
the project is completed and a sale is made;
In revenue projects for which revenue is recognised on sale, expenditure incurred be deductible in the
year in which the project revenue is recognised;
Completion Calculations.
The percentage of completion calculation would be based on the ratio that actual costs incurred bears
to total budgeted costs;
In applying the percentage of completion method, revenue and expenditure not be recognised until the
project is 20% completed;
Miscellaneous. Where a project is undertaken via a special purpose company with a view to disposal of the
shares in the company, the profit on the shares is to be calculated on the same basis as a percentage of
completion method applying to the underlying project;
A legislative definition of pre-determined sale should be introduced that focuses on the ability of the
contractor (or shareholder) to secure the project revenue. This would be subject to the Commissioner's
discretion to rule that there is no predetermined sale; and
A two-way interest regime be introduced to calculate a compensating interest payment or receipt by
the taxpayer by a comparison with the pattern of income derivation based on actual costs and
revenues and the costs and revenues returned for tax purposes.
TAX
Revenue Recognition 13
Summary
Page 647
14
In addition to basing the percentage of completion formula on the ratio of actual costs to budgeted costs, the
Commissioner should be authorised to measure the percentage of completion by reference to specialist
reports based on site inspection.
When calculating income from year to year over a long term construction contract, there is no right of
deduction for any expenditure or loss which might arise for warranty expenditure until the contractor actually
paid the claim or became liable to do so: HW Coyle Ltd v CIR (1980) 4 NZTC 61,558; 4 TRNZ 1.
The Commissioner should be allowed to remit interest liabilities where the tax payer can show that no
additional tax would have been paid had returns of income been prepared on the basis of actual cost and
revenue flows.
A threshold percentage of completion should be able to be varied by the Commissioner in special
circumstances having regard to relevant factssuch as project size, variability of revenues and costs and the
like.
1.3 Summary
While the report has been around for several years, the Government has not enacted clear income
recognition provisions.
However, in the meantime, it is suggested that taxpayers in the construction industry should take due note of
the recommendations as the Commissioner would inevitably seek to apply the general principles put forward
to any given contract situation.

2.1 Definition
For the purposes of Income Tax the definition of land includes buildings on the land.
2.2 Profit Taxable

Sections CB6 to CB23B of the Income Tax Act 2007 sets out situations in which the profit on sale of land is
taxable. Briefly, they are as follows:
Application to land that was acquired with the purpose or intention of sale or other disposition.
Application to land sold where the taxpayer, or an associated person, was in the business of dealing in
land, at the time that land was acquired.
Application where the taxpayer, or an associated person, was in the business of developing or dividing
land into lots, at the time that land was acquired.
Application where the taxpayer or an associated person was in the business of erecting buildings at
the time that land was acquired.
Application to land sold within ten years of acquisition, where 20 percent of the profits on sale of that
land are due to a change of zoning or similar factors.
Application where a scheme involving the development or division of land into lots was commenced
within ten years of the date that land was acquired (subject to the proviso that the section shall not
apply where the development or division is for use by the taxpayer in deriving business or rental
income or for residence).
Application where a scheme involving significant expenditure on earthworks levelling, roading, kerbing
or other similar land development or division work has been carried out by the taxpayer.
The legislation provides for the exemption of profits on sales of residential houses, businesses and farms,
provided certain conditions are met.
It should be noted that the definition of associated persons has been extended. This now includes what is
referred to as a tripartite test. This is where two people are connected through their association with a third
party.

3 Goods and Services Tax

3.1 Overview of GST
All references are to the Goods and Services Tax Act 1985 (The Act).
Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a tax on domestic consumption. It is charged on business transactions and
on imports, including certain imported services. The rate of GST so charged is generally 15% (increased from
12.5% as from 1 October 2010) but in some circumstances it is zero percent. For most businesses GST is not
a tax on their activities, the only cost is the expense of administration of the tax.
The GST registration threshold is currently $60,000.
A building or construction contract will typically be made up of charges for labour, materials, overheads,
subcontracts and a margin for profit. GST will be added to the total contract price at the rate of 15%.
The contractor may claim a credit for GST paid on the purchase of materials, capital assets, overhead
expenses and payments to subcontractors, (if registered).
The tender is made up of a series of prices or tenders from suppliers and subcontractors. Confusion can
result if some prices or tenders to the builder contain GST and some do not.
It is therefore suggested that all prices or tenders to the builder be on a net basis (not including GST) with the
GST figure shown separately. The builder will prepare the tender by adding together the tax-exclusive prices
and tenders, adding on labour and margins and adding GST to this total, to determine the total tender to the
client.
To avoid confusion it is suggested that:
all tenders should be in writing and make clear whether the GST is included in the tender.
the majority of construction contracts and subcontractor/main contractor/client relationships be carried
out under the self billing system for progress claims and payments in terms of Section 24(2) of the Act.
The procedure requires the prior approval of the Commissioner.
TAX
Goods and Services Tax 13
How Does GST Work
Page 649
14
3.2 How Does GST Work
A registered person will pay GST on the majority of goods and services supplied by them. This includes all
GST paid on electricity, capital equipment and other contractors, etc. This is referred to as input tax.
The registered person will charge GST on the goods and services supplied by them. This is referred to as
output tax.
At the end of the registered person's accounting period he will offset the input tax against the output tax and
will either pay the balance to Inland Revenue (if output exceeds input) or be due for a refund (if input exceeds
output).
For example, a contractor buys from a supplier, goods costing $1,000 plus $150 GST. The contractor uses
these goods in his business and makes supplies, which he sells for $3,000 and charges $450 GST.
At the end of the accounting period, the contractor declares $450 output tax less $150 input tax and then
pays the balance of $300 to Inland Revenue. On a payment basis the contractor has no net cash outflow due
to GST.
3.3 AccountingPeriods
There is a choice of three accounting periods that may be adopted by registered persons.
One Monthly. A return must be filed every month. This basis is best suited to those persons who will
regularly receive refunds. Compulsory if annual turnover exceeds $24 million.
Two Monthly. A return must be filed every two months. Default period, which Inland Revenue will
automatically issue to all registered persons.
Six Monthly. A return is due every six months. This option is only available to those persons with an
annual turnover of less than $500,000.
In order to change an accounting period, a registered person must apply in writing to Inland Revenue.
3.4 AccountingBasis
There are three options for accounting for GST:
Invoice Basis. This is the "standard" accounting basis to be adopted for GST purposes. Under this method
output tax will be returned and input tax claimed in the period in which (the earlier of) the invoice is issued or
a payment relating to that supply is made or received. This is the Time of Supply for the invoice basis. Many
businesses adopt an accruals basis for accounting purposes and that will be consistent with the invoiced
basis for GST. When registering for GST you will automatically be given the invoice basis of accounting,
unless you request otherwise.
Payments Basis. This method is only available to those persons with an annual turnover of less than
$2,000,000 or to others who satisfy the Inland Revenue that due to the nature, volume and value of their
supplies, and the nature of their accounting system, the payments basis is appropriate. Under this method
output tax is returned and input tax claimed only when the payment relating to that supply is made or
received. This is the time of supply for the payment basis. In order to be able to account for GST on a
payments basis, written approval must be obtained from Inland Revenue.
From 10 October 2002, the invoice basis is required for all transactions, if consideration is $225,000 or more,
unless settlement is within one year.
Hybrid Basis. Under this method output tax is accounted for on an invoice basis while input tax is claimed on
a payments basis. This basis is not commonly used.
If a registered person has a six monthly accounting period, or is accounting for GST on a payment basis, and
ceases to satisfy the condition for adopting such methods, then the registered person must inform Inland
Revenue within 21 days.
3.5 Tax Invoices

Sales require that a Tax Invoice be issued if requested by the purchaser. These invoices must be retained by
the purchasers for 10 years.
The issuing of Tax Invoices is subject to the following rules: For supplies in excess of $1,000, a Tax Invoice
must show:
the words Tax Invoice
the name and GST registration number of the supplier
the name and address of the recipient
the date when the Tax Invoice is issued
TAX
GST Payments and Refunds
Page 650
14
a description of the supply
quantity or volume of the supply
either-the consideration of the supply excluding tax, the total tax charged, and the consideration for the
supply inclusive of tax
orthe total consideration for the supply and a statement to the effect that this includes a charge for
GST.
Under this option the GST returned must be 3/23 of the total consideration. For supplies that do not exceed
$1,000, a less detailed invoice can be issued and must show:
the words Tax Invoice
the name and GST registration number of the supplier
the date when the tax invoice is issued
a description of the supply
the consideration for the supply and a statement that GST is included.
For supplies that do not exceed $50, a Tax Invoice need not be issued and a Tax Invoice is not required in
order to recover GST charged. The following details will be required to support this claim:
the date of the supply
a brief description of the supply
the consideration for the supply
3.6 GST Payments and Refunds

GST must be paid by the due date shown on the return. If GST is not paid by the due date, late payment
penalties may be charged as follows:
1 percent on the amount not paid by the due date.
4 percent on the amount not paid on the sixth day after the due date.
1 percent on total outstanding one month after the due date. (Compounding)
Interest will also be payable and the Commissioner has no discretion to waiver such interest. IRD usually
sends out refunds within 15 working days of receiving a correct return and may pay interest on refunds not
issued until after 15 working days.
A GST late filing fee has been introduced by the IRD, $50 for payments basis and $250 for invoice or hybrid
basis. The IRD will issue a warning letter for the first late filing occurrence, if within the following 12 months a
return is not filed on time the fee will be applied.
3.7 Progress Claims

GST is added at the end after retentions have been deducted. The document becomes an invoice for GST
purposes. If the client is a registered person, or in the case of a subcontractor's claim to the main contractor,
a tax invoice will need to be issued to enable the client or the main contractor to claim an input tax credit.
The invoice, i.e. the progress claim, may be the tax invoice. This would mean, however that credit or debit
notes would be required if the progress claim is subsequently altered. This is likely to cause a problem for
subcontractors and contractors.
Two alternatives exist to simplify the situation:
the subcontractor may issue a tax invoice when the amount has been agreed;
OR the main contractor may issue a tax invoice on behalf of the subcontractor when the amount is
agreed. This is possible because there is a provision in the GST Act for the Tax Invoice to be issued by
the recipient of the goods and services rather than the supplier, this being the self billing system which
will apply to most construction contractors.
Self Billing. The following must be carried out before the self billing system is put in place.
the Inland Revenue has granted prior approval to the agreement
the supplier and the recipient agree that the supplier shall not issue a Tax Invoice for the same
transaction
one copy of the tax invoice is provided to the supplier, and one is retained by the recipient.
the words buyer created invoiceIRD approved must appear on the invoice.
Although the time of supply will remain at the point an invoice is issued, the Tax Invoice may be issued by the
main contractor when the amount has been agreed and sent to the subcontractor with the accompanying
cheque, provided the above conditions are met. This procedure would mean that debit and credit notes would
not be required.
TAX
Credit and Debit Notes
Page 651
14
Only one Tax Invoice may be issued in respect of the GST payable on each progress claim. This means that
each progress claim must show GST only on work completed since the last claim. To achieve this, any
deduction for previous payments should exclude GST already paid.
Under the self billing system the following will apply:
The subcontractor's claim should not include GST and will not be recognised as a Tax Invoice by the
main contractor.
The main contractor's payment advice will be the subcontractor's Tax Invoice and should be retained
by the subcontractor to support the amount of output tax payable.
The subcontractor will be required to advise the main contractor of his GST registration number before
the first Tax Invoice can be issued.
The same principles apply to main contractor/client relationships. Note, the same invoicing details are
required as referred to under item 3.5 above.
Using the self billing process, the time of supply will be when the amount of the claim is determined. The
advantage of the self billing method can be shown simply, in the following example.
A subcontractor makes a standard progress claim:

Subcontract works to dateexcluding GST $12,000.00
Less previous claimexcluding GST $9,000.00
This progress claim $3,000.00
Plus 15% GST $450.00
Total Due $3,450.00
The main contractor receives the claim, deducts 10% for retentions, and pays the
subcontractor as follows:
Total Claim $3,450.00
Less retention of 10% $345.00
Cheque to subcontractor $3,105.00
The subcontractor is now in the situation where he has a Tax Invoice showing $450.00 GST, however, he has
received only $405.00, with the balance due at some future date.
The subcontractor, assuming he accounts for GST on an invoice basis, must either pay $450 to Inland
Revenue or must issue a credit note. Under the self billing process this problem does not arise.
The main contractor prepares the invoice as follows:
Subcontract work to date $12,000.00
Less previous claimexcluding GST $9,000.00
This progress claim $3,000.00
Less retentionsay 10% $300.00
$2,700.00
Plus 15% GST $405.00
Total due this claim $3,105.00
The GST to be returned by the subcontractor is $405.00 and there is no need for a credit note.
When the retention is due to be paid, the main contractor will issue a further Tax Invoice, detailing the GST.
Again the time of supply for a retention is the earlier of the following:
when the claim is sent
payment is due
payment is received
3.8 Credit and Debit Notes

If a credit or debit note is required it must show:
the name, address and registration number of the supplier
the name and address of the recipient
the date on which the credit note was issued
a brief explanation of the reason for the credit being given.
EITHERthe original consideration, the correction consideration, the difference between those two
TAX
Increased Costs and Variations
Page 652
14
amounts and the tax on the difference. ORwhere the tax charged is the tax fraction of the
consideration, the difference referred to above and a statement that the difference includes GST.
3.9 Increased Costs and Variations

Any increased costs or variation claims can be included in a progress claim as the work is completed, and the
GST will be calculated on these in the same manner as for any other claim.
The contractor should ensure that the charge will be accepted by the recipient as for a contractor on an
invoice basis, GST is accountable when the invoice is issued and must be paid to Inland Revenue even if the
account is under dispute.
3.10 Grouping
Special provision is made to allow two or more companies or other entities to form a group for GST purposes
and to return GST as if the group were one registered person. To enable this, each company must be a
registered person, and there must be a minimum common ownership in the companies of not less than 66%
at the end of the income year. All members of the group are required to have the same return period and
accounting basis, and one member must be nominated as the representative member.
Effects of Grouping. The representative member of the group is deemed to conduct the activities of all other
group members
The representative member is required to file the GST return
Taxable supplies between group members may be disregarded to the extent that the recipient group
member would have been able to deduct input tax in respect of that supply if they had not been a
group member.
Each group member remains jointly and severally liable for any GST payable and each member is obliged to
provide tax invoices and keep adequate records.
For example, a contractor may own a construction company and a supply outlet. If the contractor
elects to form these companies into a group for GST purposes then taxable supplies between each
group member need not be charged with GST if the recipient company would normally have claimed
input tax on that supply.
3.11 Second Hand Goods

When a registered person purchases, and makes payment for, second-hand goods from unregistered
persons, the registered person is entitled to a notional input tax credit being the tax fraction of the
consideration. (i.e. 3/23).
For example, a contractor purchases some used machinery from an unregistered person for $2,000.
The contractor may then claim a notional input tax credit of 3/23 of the purchase price being $260.87.
No deduction for input tax is available until the goods have been paid for.
Record keeping requirements to facilitate a deduction when the consideration are as follows:
name and address of the supplier
the date of purchase
a description of the goods and services
the amount paid
There is no distinction between the supply by a registered person of new goods or second-hand goods. Both
are chargeable with GST. It has generally been accepted that land may be regarded as second-hand goods
for GST purposes
3.12 Fringe BenefitsGST Implications

If employees are considered to be in receipt of fringe benefits for Fringe Benefit Tax purposes, whether these
are the provision of a motor vehicle or some other benefit, the provision of the benefit subject to FBT is
additionally regarded as a taxable supply for a consideration (inclusive of GST) equal to the value of the
benefit. In simple terms, you may have to pay GST on FBT.
Where the fringe benefit consists of a supply that would be exempt or zero-rated, no output tax liability arises.
For example, low interest loans, or international air travel, may be ignored.

Total FBT return value over 12 months $3,052
3.13 Overseas Services For Non-Residents

Contracts that are performed outside New Zealand are subject to GST at the rate of zero percent. This
means that all input tax paid on supplies relating to that contract may be claimed from Inland Revenue, but no
GST needs to be charged to the recipient of that supply.
GST is payable on services, performed on behalf of a non-resident, which relate to real property in New
Zealand, e.g. a building.
The issue of whether GST is payable for services supplied directly in connection with land outside New
Zealand, has been the subject of litigation, and the implications are that care should be exercised in this
regard.
(Refer Malololailai Holidays New Zealand Limited v C of IR (1997) 18NZTC123137)
3.14 Zero Rated Supplies

GST is charged at 15 percent on most supplies of goods and services in New Zealand. However, certain
types of taxable supplies are taxed at a rate of zero percent (0%).
Zero rating should not be confused with exemption. Registered persons who make zero-rated supplies
charge GST on these supplies at the rate of zero percent, but they may still claim a credit for any GST paid
on the purchases relating to those supplies. In the case of exempt supplies, no input tax deduction can be
claimed.
Zero rating applies to:
sale of going concerns e.g. tenanted building
exported goods
goods not in New Zealand at the time of supply
certain exported services.
The I.R.D. has accepted that the sale of a commercial property that is 50% tenanted qualifies for zero rating
as a 'sale as a going concern'. There is no such legislative provision and occupancy less than 50% may
qualify in certain circumstances. The vendor and purchaser must agree in writing that the sale of a tenanted
building is a 'sale as a going concern'. Care should be exercised where the purchaser is also the tenant.
3.15 Private Use/Change of Use

Where goods and services purportedly acquired for business purposes (and claimed as such for input tax
purposes) are diverted for a business proprietor's benefit or for the benefit of an associated person, then an
output tax liability arises and the goods and services are valued for output tax purposes at their open market
value.
Also there are GST considerations where a residential property developer transfers property to a rental
activity, either temporarily or permanently.
3.16 Exempt Supplies

GST is charged at 15 percent on most supplies of goods and services in New Zealand. However, certain
types of supplies are exempt from GST.
Exempt supplies should not be confused with zero rated supplies (refer above). Registered persons who
make exempt supplies do not charge GST on these supplies and are unable to claim a credit for any GST
paid on the purchases relating to those supplies.
Exempt supplies include:
Financial services
Long term residential accommodation.

4 Annual Warrants of Fitness
4.1 Tax Aspects of Compliance
The Building Act places responsibility with the owner of a building to ensure the building is safe, sanitary and
provides means of fire escape. See Building Act 2004 on page 627
Any building (new or existing, including Multi-Unit Residential) which contains any of the features listed will
require an annual warrant of fitness.
Lifts, escalators or travellators
Automatic Sprinkler System
Automatic Fire Doors
Riser Mains for Fire Services
Mechanical Ventilation or Air Conditioning
Systems serving all or a major part of the building
Back Flow Preventers
Emergency Lighting Systems
Building Maintenance Units
Signs Required for any of these systems
Escape route pressurisation systems
The Building Act requires the owner of a building to obtain a compliance schedule which must be available for
inspection. The building owner must appoint an independent qualified person to undertake the inspection,
maintenance and procedures in relation to a compliance schedule.
Expenditure incurred in complying with the Building Act would include:
Expenses incurred in obtaining a warrant of fitness, in particular costs of engaging an independent qualified
person.
Expenditure on improvements
The appropriate tax treatment of such expenditure will vary from case to case, however, some general rules
are outlined below.
4.2 Warrant of Fitness Expenses

These expenses which do not add to the capital value of the asset would be deductible in the year incurred.
The expenses are recurring on an annual basis and bring about no enduring benefit. Therefore, they should
not properly be regarded as being on capital account.
4.3 Repairs and Maintenance

Expenditure on repairs and maintenance is deductible from the 1993-94 income year onwards under the
ordinary provisions of the Act. Expenditure will therefore have to satisfy the general deductibility test, which is
subject of the denial of a deduction for capital expenditure.
Alterations which increase the value of the asset, must be capitalised and depreciated.
Ordinary repairs and maintenance expenses not increasing the capital value of an asset are deductible in the
year incurred.
TAX
Other Taxes 13
Expenditure on Improvements
Page 655
14
4.4 Expenditure on Improvements
Tax depreciation is allowed in respect of depreciable property.
Generally speaking, depreciable property is all the property, which the Commissioner has previously allowed
to be depreciated under the Act. It is property, which declines in value.
Taxpayers have two basic choices when dealing with the depreciation of capital expenditure on
improvements to depreciable property. The expenditure can be either added to the cost of the depreciable
property and depreciated as part of that property, or it can be separately capitalised and treated as a separate
asset.
Expenditure on improvements can only be depreciated from the month in which the improvements were first
used or became available to be used.
Depreciating improvements as a separate asset will be useful if the rate applying to the improvement is
different from that applying to the asset.
The rates of depreciation available to an asset owner depend on both the type of asset and the time at which
it was bought. The date on which a binding contract to buy the asset was entered into may also be relevant.
Taxpayers should consider carefully the nature of the specific expenditure incurred in complying with the
Building Act to ensure that the proper tax treatment is adopted.
5 Other Taxes
5.1 PAYE Tax
Pay As You Earn (PAYE) tax was introduced in 1957 and provides a system in terms of which those making
certain types of payments must deduct tax from those payments. Salary and wages are the common
examples of payments which must have PAYE deducted.
Deductions must also be made from payments, which are declared to be withholding payments. Various rates
apply depending on the type of payment being made. For labour only carpenters, plumbers etc, and others
engaged by the building industry, the rate is set at 20%.
5.2 Fringe Benefit Tax

FBT is payable by employers on specified benefits (e.g. motor vehicles and low interest loans) provided to
employees (including major shareholders), and payable quarterly for periods ending 30 June, 30 September,
31 December and 31 March.
The rate is 49.25% of the taxable value of each benefit provided. However, there is an option to attribute
benefits to employees and pay a reduced rate of FBT based on an employees individual package. There is a
'de minimis' exemption for unclassified benefits of $300 per employee in the quarter or limited to $22,500 to
all employees in the year, 'de minimis' means small or trifling. If the either de minimis threshold is exceeded
the entire amount, including the de minimis will be subject to FBT.
5.3 Accident Compensation

There are varying levies payable by employers, employees and self-employed people. Employers pay levies
and residual claim levies, depending on industry type. Rates and thresholds are issued by Regulation.
For more information, Refer to page 553. ACC Business Helpline, 0800-222-766.
5.4 Resident Withholding Tax

RWT imposes a liability on those people making interest payments to deduct a withholding tax at source
before the interest is remitted. Payments made to financial institutions are exempt from the requirements.
The tax also extends to cash dividends paid and to taxable bonus issues. The withholding tax rates are
10.5%, 17.5%, 30% and 33% for interest (can elect for higher rate) and 33% for dividends.
TAX
Other Taxes 13
Non-Resident Withholding Tax (NRWT)
Page 656
14
5.5 Non-Resident Withholding Tax (NRWT)
Payments of Non-Resident Withholding Income (NRWI) are subject to the deduction of NRWT prior to
remission overseas. NRWI includes interest, dividends and royalties. Payments to non-resident Contractors
are subject to a withholding payment regime also.
As regards interest, borrowers may apply to the Commissioner of Inland Revenue to become an Approved
Issuer. Approved Issuers will be able to pay tax-free interest to unrelated non-resident lenders in relation to
registered securities. A tax-deductible charge will be levied on Approved Issuers equivalent to 2% of the
exempt interest actually paid to non-residents.
This will enable resident borrowers, who are currently bearing most of the burden of the NRWT due to gross-
up clauses, to reduce their interest costs.
5.6 Dividend Imputation

Introduced effective 1st April 1988 and effectively eliminates double taxation of income derived on corporate
income. Shareholders receive a credit for corporate income tax paid when company income is distributed as
a dividend, e.g.:
Dividend Imputation Calculation Pre-Imputation With Imputation
Company Income 100 100
Less Tax (based on 28% corporate rate) 28 28
Net Company Income = 72 = 72
Dividend Paid to Shareholder 72 72

Effective Tax Rate 52 **33
** Shareholder is taxed on $1.00 @ 33c* 33
Less Imputation Credit 28
Less RWT Credit 5
Net Payable Nil
* assumes top marginal rate.
5.7 Capital Gains Tax

There is presently no formal capital gains tax regime in New Zealand, but reference should be made to the
definition of land sales.
5.8 Late Payment Penalties

Tax, which is paid late, is subject to a late payment penalty of an initial 1% the day after due date and a
further 4% six days thereafter. A further penalty of 1% per month will be charged on the outstanding amount.
5.9 Use of Money Interest

Use of money interest is also payable on outstanding amounts and generally receivable on overpayments.
Note, there is a substantial margin between use of money payable and receivable.
5.10 Stamp Duty

The Stamp Duty Abolition Act 1999 abolished stamp duty on the sale and lease of commercial land and
buildings, including farms, thereby eliminating all stamp duty.

6 Tax Depreciation
6.1 Removal of Depreciation of Buildings
With effect from the start of the 2012 income year, the depreciation rate of buildings with an estimated useful
life of 50 years or more was changed to 0%.
As a result of this legislation, the depreciation rate applicable to all of the generic building assets that have an
estimated useful life of 50 years, is 0%. These are Buildings (default class), Buildings with reinforced
concrete framing, Buildings with steel or steel and timber framing and Buildings with timber framing.
On 30 April 2010 the Commissioner issued Interpretation Statement IS 10/02: Meaning of building in the
depreciation provisions (IS 10/02). IS 10/02 concluded that essentially a building is a structure that has
walls and a roof, is of considerable size, is meant to last a considerable period of time and is generally fixed
to the land on which it stands; a building is a structure that can function independently of any other but is not
necessarily a physically separate structure.
The effect of IS 10/02 is that some assets that were not previously regarded as buildings will now come within
the meaning of buildings and the depreciation rate applicable to them is to be amended to 0%.
Car-parking buildings and car-parking pads. Car-parking buildings were previously regarded as
structures for depreciation purposes. Inland Revenue acknowledges that many buildings provide carparking
facilities for owners/occupiers. For the purposes of this determination, carparking buildings are buildings that
are built and used predominately for carparking where the carparking facilities are the main function of the
building.
The same treatment cannot be given to car-parking pads, which are more in the nature of hardstanding. The
depreciation rate available on this type of asset therefore remains unchanged.
In view of this change in treatment the current reference to Car-parks (buildings and pads) has been removed
from the Building and structures asset category and replaced with two new asset classes, Car-parking
buildings and Car-parking pads.
Buildings (portable) and site huts. A further conclusion of IS 10/02 was that some items within existing
asset classes could be either buildings or structures. This is on the basis that, while some of the items may
have the appearance of a building, be of a considerable size and are attached to the land, others items may
either not look like a building (they will look more like a container or some other structure) and/or may be too
small and/or portable to be considered a building. Generally, a structure is considered to be too small to be a
building when it is able to be moved without mechanical assistance (such as a crane or hiab) and it is not
attached to the land. Due to their varying appearance, size and portability, buildings (portable) and site huts
could potentially fall within this category.
The treatment of those portable buildings that have the appearance of a building, are of sufficient size and
are sufficiently attached to the land so that they fall within the definition of a building remains unchanged.
Structures that are too small, are sufficiently easy to relocate and/or do not have the appearance of a building
will be treated as portable huts (not buildings).
By their very nature, site huts will be either portable huts (not buildings) or buildings (portable), depending on
their appearance, size and portability. Because of this, the current reference to Site huts in the Contractors,
builders and quarrying industry category has been removed and replaced with Buildings (portable) and
Portable huts (not buildings).
Note that despite both Buildings (portable) and Portable huts (not buildings) having an estimated useful life of
12.5 years, different rates of depreciation apply. The reason for this is the varying formulae used to calculate
economic rates contained in subpart EE of the Act.
Grandparenting provisions. On 30 July 2009 the Minister of Revenue announced grandparenting

provisions for certain items of depreciable property acquired on or before 30 July 2009. This treatment was
confirmed by the Taxation (Budget Measures) Act 2010. As carparking buildings and site huts are covered by
this grandparenting provision they have been added to this Determination. Despite these assets now coming
within the meaning of buildings those assets that were acquired or a binding contract was entered into for
their purchase or construction, on or before 30 July 2009, will continue to be treated as structures for
depreciation purposes.

Grandstands. A further example of assets that may or may not be a building, are grandstands. For example,
stand-alone tiered seating is a structure, while grandstands that incorporate other facilities, such as changing
areas, toilets or storage areas, are likely to be buildings (that have seating attached to them). To take account
of this difference, it is proposed to include a new asset category Tiered seating (not part of a building) for
those grandstands that are structures and to amend the depreciation rate of Grandstands to 0%.
The changes are as follows:

From the Building and structures asset category, delete the general asset classes, estimated useful lives,
diminishing value and straight-line depreciation rates listed below:
Building and structures Life DV SL

Canterbury Earthquake Provisions

6.2 Canterbury Earthquake Provisions
The Government has amended the depreciation provisions following the Canterbury earthquakes.
There have been various amendments and updates following the February 2011 earthquakes (e.g business
interruption insurance and rollover relief for revenue account assets).These are beyond the scope of this
publication. It is therefore recommended that specific advice be obtained, where required.
The IRD website provides technical and other information on the measures relating to the Canterbury
earthquakes.
The changes affect the following:
Timing of the deemed sale of an asset after a catastrophic event.
The deductibility of loss when a building has to be demolished after a catastrophic event has occurred.
The disposal and demolition costs of a building destroyed by an earthquake will be dealt with as part of
the disposal of the asset.
The depreciation claw-back where the amount of insurance exceeds the tax written down value of the
building.
Timing of the Deemed Sale. The sale of a building is deemed to occur for tax purposes when the insurance
proceeds can be reasonably estimated. The current law treats the deemed sale of a destroyed asset as
occurring at the date of the event that gave rise to the destruction. This could result in compliance and
administration problems which would impose a tax liability on Canterbury businesses seeking to recover from
the earthquakes. The Government has decided to incorporate a timing rule that deems the sale to occur
when the insurance proceeds can be reasonably estimated.
Deductibility of Loss from Building Indirectly Caused by Catastrophic Event. Where a building has not
been destroyed directly by an event, e.g. an earthquake, but has had to be destroyed because of the event,
in these circumstances, the law has been clarified to allow a tax deduction. This will be a general amendment
and not specifically limited to the Canterbury earthquake.
Demolition Costs Tax Deductible. The costs incurred on the disposal or demolition of earthquake affected
buildings are dealt with as part of the disposal of the asset. This change has already been passed and means
that disposal and demolition costs of an insured earthquake damaged building are in effect deductible.
Depreciation Recovery Rollover. If a business owner receives an insurance recovery where that recovery
exceeds the tax written down value of the asset, then the owner may face a cashflow issue - particularly if the
owner is going to replace the asset. The Government has agreed to allow the asset's owner to elect to roll
depreciation recovered from the insurance payment into the tax value of the replacement asset.
To qualify for this:
An owner must make an election on a class basis. There are two classes; buildings together with fit-
out, and other, i.e. plant and equipment.
The owner must expect to be replacing the fixed asset by the end of the 2015- 2016 income year, with
either a new or second-hand asset.
If the insured asset is a building, it must be within the area covered by the Canterbury Earthquake
Recovery Agency.
The effect of the legislation is to roll the depreciation cost from the old asset into the cost of the new asset.
If a new asset is not acquired, then the depreciation recovery will apply. These amendments for
depreciation recovery rollover have been specifically designed to apply to the Canterbury earthquakes.
Note that after the central New Zealand floods of 2004, the Income Tax Act was amended to allow a generic
write off for any loss on buildings that were destroyed by an event beyond the owner's control (e.g. floods and
earthquakes).
6.3 Tax Rules

The tax depreciation rules are contained in Section EE of the Income Tax Act 2007.
6.4 Buildings
For depreciation purposes, a building comprises the outer walls including linings, outer doors, shop fronts
and windows, interior bearer walls, inner fixtures of brick and concrete, foundations, roof ceilings, floors,
cellar, chimneys, sewerage disposal systems, stairways, plumbing, water and power supplies.
For completeness, we include depreciation rates (old and new) for assets (other than buildings.)
Land and Buildings. Depreciation cannot be claimed on land or buildings.
TAX
Tax Depreciation 13
Building Fitout
Page 660
14
Sale of Buildings. Buildings that were depreciated prior to the 2011/12 year and subsequently sold for more
than its adjusted tax value, the depreciation recovered is assessable income. The amount of depreciation
recovered is the smaller of: the original cost price of the building, minus the adjusted tax value; or the sale
price, minus the adjusted tax value.
This ensures that any capital profit made on the sale of a building is not included as assessable income.
Losses made on the sale or disposal of buildings are not deductible
Depreciable Land Improvements. Depreciable Land Improvements and payments for the right to use land,
e.g. leasehold interest, are depreciable property. (17th Schedule of The Tax Act)
Depreciable Land Improvements include: Airport runways; Reservoirs; Bores and wells; Retaining walls;
Bridges; Roads; Dams; Chimneys; Spillways; Culverts; Swimming pools; Tanks; Fences; Tunnels;
Hardstanding; Wharves.
6.5 Building Fitout

There are two areas to building fitout, residential and commercial.
Residential fitout and separate depreciation of fitout and chattels was covered by a previous IRD standard.
This considered that for residential properties there should be no separation of fitout, e.g. electrical
reticulation, and this should form part of the building. As above, this is non-depreciable from the 2011/12 year.
Chattels continue to be depreciable.
Commercial fitout, unlike residential fitout, will continue to be able to be separately depreciated ie non-
structural aspects of the building. This will generally follow current practice, there are approximately 90
separate depreciable fitout assets. It is proposed that legislation will be passed to clarify the split between
building and fitout. On acquisition, it is critical that an accurate assessment of what constitutes fitout versus
building is undertaken.
6.6 Depreciation Uplift

Historically, there has been a 20% depreciation rate uplift, the rationale for this has been described in
numerous ways, including encouragement of capital investment. Budget 2010 has repealed the ability to
claim depreciation uplift for assets purchased after the 20 May 2010. Assets with a purchase contract in
place, where delivery was not until after the 20 May 2010 will be eligible for the uplift.
Existing assets that have had the uplift applied to them previously will continue to be able to utilise the higher
depreciation rate. The legislation passed as part of the budget process grandparents existing assets.
The general rates are unaffected other than the removal of the uplift.

3.1.14NZS 3604 Foundations in the Canterbury earthquake region only where good ground has not
been established. (Comment for Christchurch, concerning foundation design in areas affected by liq-
uefaction.)
1. Foundations for houses built on ground that has the potential for liquefaction or lateral spread are
outside the scope of B1/AS1.
2. Foundation designs for houses built in areas that have the potential for liquefaction, as defined by
the Christchurch City Council, the Selwyn District Council and the Waimakariri District Council, may be
in accordance with the Department's Guidance on house repairs and reconstruction following the
Canterbury earthquake as amended from time to time (refer to www.dbh.govt.nz).
Note: The foundation options provided in the guidance do not apply in areas: (a) where there is the
potential for lateral spreading of greater than 50 mm over the property and not protected by perimeter
ground treatment, or (b) where there has been severe ground damage during the 2010/11
earthquakes. This is in areas where the crust (the distance between the ground surface and the water
table) is thin, generally occurring in low-lying coastal and estuarine areas.
Further guidance is being developed and will be released following additional research. Foundation
designs for houses built in areas (a) and (b), as defined by the Christchurch City Council, the Selwyn
District Council and the Waimakariri District Council, need to be specifically designed following
appropriate geotechnical investigations.

11 Lifts and Escalators
11.1 Criteria
There are many criteria to consider before selecting the number of lifts and the type of lifts required for a
particular building. The following is a brief explanation of those criteria to assist with estimating only, and
should not be used for design or specification purposes.
Number of People Using the Lifts. Detailed traffic studies of the building population are carried out to
determine Peak Loadings, Cross Peak Flows and Peak Loading Times.
These parameters will vary depending on various factors, all of which play a significant part in determining lift
selection. Some of these factors are:
The type of building, for example, hotel or office block
The nature of use of each floor, for example, carpark, retail, etc.
The tenancy arrangement of the building, for example, multi-level tenancies or inter-floor traffic
Number of Floors to Be Serviced. Lifts can generally be classified in three types:
Geared Traction Lifts: Suitable for buildings up to 12 floors.
Gearless Lifts: Suitable for lifts over 12 floors
Hydraulic Lifts: Suitable for buildings up to 4 floors.
Waiting Interval. The time the lift system takes to respond to a call at the principal lower entry terminal.
Handling Capacity. The systems ability to move an agreed percentage of the building population in a given
period.

12 Vehicle Reimbursement
12.1 IRD Review of Mileage Rates
2010 Review of the Commissioner's mileage rate for expenditure incurred for the business use of a motor
vehicle
The Operational Statement (OS) 09/01 (see below) provides the Commissioners statement of a mileage rate
for expenditure incurred for the business use of a motor vehicle. OS 09/01 can also be viewed on our
website.
Inland Revenue has reviewed the motor vehicle mileage rate reflecting on the average cost of running a
motor vehicle, including the average petrol and diesel fuel prices for the 2010 income year, and confirms the
current mileage rate of 70 cents per kilometre is to continue to apply to both petrol and diesel fuel vehicles.
Inland Revenue will continue to monitor fuel prices and publish a rate at least once a year.
Taxpayers are not obliged to use the Commissioner's mileage rate. They may use actual costs if they
consider that the Commissioner's mileage rate does not reflect their true costs.
It is accepted that employers may use the motor vehicle running cost data published by other reputable
sources, for example the New Zealand Automobile Association Incorporated, as an alternative reasonable
estimate for reimbursement of employees.
The mileage rate does not apply in respect of motor cycles.
12.2 Operational Statement OS 09/01

Commissioner's statement of a mileage rate for expenditure incurred for the business use of a motor vehicle.
Refer www.ird.govt.nz
All legislative references are to the Income Tax Act 2007.
Under section DE 3 a self-employed person may use one of three methods to calculate the proportion of
business use of a motor vehicle, namely:
actual records
a logbook, or
a mileage rate.
Section DE 12(3) requires that the Commissioner sets a mileage rate that taxpayers may use to calculate the
expenditure or loss on a motor vehicle that represents the proportion of business use of a motor vehicle. This
statement sets a mileage rate as required by section DE 12(3).
Self-employed: The mileage rate applies in respect of:
self-employed taxpayers
up to a maximum of 5,000 kilometres of work-related travel each year
motor vehicles irrespective of engine size whether they are powered by petrol or diesel.
The mileage rate applies from the 2008-2009 income year. The mileage rate does not apply in respect of
motor cycles.
Employee Reimbursement: The mileage rate may be used as a reasonable estimate by employers
reimbursing employees for:
business use of an employee's vehicle, and
shareholder employees.
Mileage Rate: Under section DE 12(3) the mileage rate set by this statement for motor vehicles is 70 cents
per kilometre

Trapezoidal Rule
Divide the figure into any number of parts by parallel lines (or offsets) at equal distances apart.
Area = 1/2 the distance between any two adjacent offsets x (first offset + last offset + twice the sum of all the
other offsets).
Simpson's Rule
Divide the figure into any even number of parts by parallel lines (or offsets) at equal distances apart.
Area = 1/3 the distance between any two adjacent offsets x (first offset + last offset + twice the sum of the
other odd offsets + four times the sum of the even offsets).
