As a homeowner, you need to know what materials have gone in to building your home and how to maintain and care for your property after it’s built. You can request this information from your builder.
Consumer protection in the Building Act requires your builder to provide you with certain information when building work is complete. It should include the maintenance needed to meet Building Code durability requirements and requirements in product guarantees or warranties. You should request this information as part of your building or renovation project.
The BRANZ Maintenance Schedule tool makes it easy for your builder – by bringing together all the maintenance information about: Your place, all in one place, and it’s FREE. This includes:
- All the contact details of trade staff involved in your build so that you may contact them for ongoing maintenance.
- A list of materials used in your home and their guarantees or warranties.
Ask your builder to create a maintenance schedule for you now.
