What actually goes in a New Zealand handover pack
The compliance half, the trade half, and the four things almost every pack leaves out — starting with the maintenance schedule that stops the phone ringing.
Guides
The paperwork end of a build, explained
Written for New Zealand residential builders and small developers, by people who run three companies on the same problems. No jargon, no legal theatre — just what the job actually requires.
Progress claims explained — and the three mistakes that delay payment
What the Construction Contracts Act requires a payment claim to contain, the 20 working day rule in both directions, and why an ignored claim that was served properly becomes a debt.
Defects liability periods — what a builder actually owes after handover
Four different clocks start at handover. Your contract, the Building Act's 12-month repair period, the 10-year implied warranties, and your guarantee product — and they are not the same thing.
The five things that go wrong between practical completion and CCC
Late applications, missing producer statements, inspections never closed out, as-builts that don't match consent, and the 20 working day clock that keeps stopping.
