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 Your Suggestions

Estimating—Building Costs Per Square Metre
Page 0-6
4 How to Use This Handbook

4.1 Estimating—Building Costs Per Square Metre
This provides the average cost range 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”.
It should be noted that 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 11-548 for information on Measurement of Buildings. Refer to page 1-
10, “How to use this Section” for further information.
There is a worked example included at the end 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 1-31.
Estimating—Elemental Costs of Buildings
This assists in the compilation of a more accurate cost per square metre, through evaluation and
adjustment of the mean figures of the various elements of the foregoing typical buildings, to reflect
the particular building being examined. Examples of major variations from the typical are: special
facade treatments, the extent of floor finishes, whether or not the building services include air
conditioning, lifts, etc.
4.2 Estimating—Comparative Costs
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 Rates” section.
4.3 Detailed 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 “Estimating—
Comparative Costs”, 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 borne in mind.
4.4 Construction Indices
Various published indices, relevant to the construction industry.
4.5 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.

Exclusions
Page 1-10

Costs given hereafter should be used for initial feasibility studies only, and are average prices for
the base building works, for typical buildings, at June 1st, within the city areas.
Add to the base building cost for exclusions listed below, and for any other factors deemed to be
necessary for the completion of the project. Add additional allowances for work in country areas,
See “Regional Indices” on page 6-501.
For a worked example of an estimate, See “Worked Example” on page 1-31.
Costs are based on the total floor area of all levels, measured over all external walls. Costs given
should be adjusted to take account of such factors 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 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” on page 2-33.
Add to the costs given hereafter for:
• Heating, ventilating and air-conditioning, where considered necessary and not included—
frequently a regional difference.
• All costs listed below as “Exclusions”.

Elemental Costs of Buildings
2008
Definitions
Page 2-34

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
Purpose
This section is intended as an approximate guide to the value of the various elements of the
buildings in Chapter 1. Item numbers and page numbers quoted with each elemental breakdown
refer to the equivalent items in Chapter 1. In all cases, refer to these items for the full descriptions of
the building, particularly with regard to scope, inclusions and exclusions. Note that the elemental
percentages are indicative rather than definitive.
The “Total” cost given is the approximate mean 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. Please note that because these
figures are based on Auckland buildings, adjustments may be required for items such as heating,
etc., to reflect building practices in other areas.
Exclusions
Costs exclude
• external services more than 3.0m from the outside face of the building
• legal and professional fees
• Goods and Services Tax (G.S.T.)
Worked Example
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 $55.20/m2 and $127.05/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 GFA—which of course includes the ground floor—would
give the cost of the Upper Floors for those buildings.
For A, $57.96 x 600m2 GFA equals $34,776, 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 $115.92.
For B, $132.83 x 7,500m2 GFA equals $996,188, 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 $138.36.

Introduction
Purpose
Page 3-63
Introduction
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, See “Definition of Elements” on page 2-36.
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 External Walls & External Finishes
Internal Walls and Partitions

Exclusions
Costs exclude
• external services more than 3m from the outside face of the building

Lifts and Escalators
Criteria
Page 3-99
19 Lifts and Escalators

19.1 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 system’s ability to move an agreed percentage of the building population
in a given period.
Number of Lifts—Estimating Guide for Offices. The following information is for approximate
estimating purposes only. For accurate assessment of lift size, speed and numbers required refer
to a lift manufacturer or consulting engineer for traffic study analysis.

• Building consent fees went up on 1 July 2007 for
some, if not all, councils.
• Methods of calculating fees were also reviewed
in many cases.
• It is not possible to summarise building consent
fees here, as the information available from
councils varies between full disclosure on their
website to very little information available.
• The information that is freely available tends to
be mind-boggling in its complexity.
• In all cases, please refer to the relevant Council
for confirmation of fees.
• Websites for some Councils follow. If fees are
available, it is indicated. On the CD version,
these are clickable links. Note, some of these

Insurances
Page 4-127
1.20 Insurances
Contractors All Risk Insurance
This type of policy provides cover to the Contractor during the construction of a building for
damages caused by fire, rain, wind, explosion, accidental or malicious damage, burglary and theft.
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 Cover—This 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 Cover—A 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, builder’s track
record, amount of self insurance, etc. Insurance companies consider contract works under four
main categories. Rates shown as a percentage of contract value (including consultants fees,
temporary works, demolition and removal of debris) are a guide only, and more competitive rates
may be achieved on application.
Civil works Bridges, dams, roadwork 0.50–0.80%
Building works Commercial and industrial 0.20–0.50%
Building works Residential 0.15–0.20%
Engineering works Erection and installation of plant etc. 0.14–0.18%
Public Liability Insurance
This cover is calculated on the contract value for the project. In the case of sub-contractors and
labour only gangs, the Builder may effect cover OR require sub-contractors to provide evidence of
the existence of insurance cover which complies with the terms of the head contract.
The following are examples of the order of cost of this item.
Type of Contract Example One Example Two

44 Vehicle Reimbursement Rates

44.1 Inland Revenue Guidelines
Employers may use published mileage rates to reimburse employees who use their own vehicles
for work purposes.
Under the Income Tax Act 2004, employers may determine the amount of employee
reimbursement exempt for tax purposes when employees use their own vehicles for work
purposes.
Employers can reimburse an employee based on actual expenditure incurred by the employee - or
by making a reasonable estimate of the expenditure incurred. A 'reasonable estimate' recognises
that employers have differing business needs and that a 'one size fits all' rate may not necessarily
be accurate.
Employers may use rates published by a reputable independent New Zealand source,
representing a reasonable estimate—e.g. New Zealand Automobile Association Inc mileage
rates—to reimburse staff using their private motor vehicle for work purposes.
The mileage rate used must be a reasonable estimate. In establishing a reasonable estimate
regard should be given to the nature of the business and the type of employee vehicles.
Employers may also continue to use the rates published by Inland Revenue in the February 1996
Tax Information Bulletin (Vol 7, No 8).
This gives employers four options when reimbursing staff for business use of a private vehicle:
• actual expenditure incurred by the employee
• an employer's own reasonable estimate of expenditure incurred by an employee
• published mileage rates, as long as they represent a reasonable estimate
• the rates published by Inland Revenue in the February 1996 Tax Information Bulletin.
Employers may apply published mileage or other rates effective immediately. The other options
have been available to employers for a number of years.
Mileage rates for vehicle expenditure incurred by self-employed are being reviewed by Inland
Revenue.
44.2 Inland Revenue Reimbursement Rates.

The two options are a two tier scale or a flat rate. The rates apply to average operating costs of
cars, regardless of size, age or value. Amounts paid in excess of approved levels must be treated
as salary or wages, with PAYE deducted. Shareholder employees can be reimbursed up to a
maximum of 5,000km per year. Check online at www.ird.govt.nz for updated rates.
44.3 Two Tier Scale Motor Vehicles Motor Cycles

Annual work related kilometres
1 to 3,000km 62 cents per km 31 cents per km
3,001km and over 19 cents per km 10 cents per km
The first tier rate is a full-cost recovery rate, and includes estimated overheads. The second tier rate is a
running cost reimbursement rate only.

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 SteelEst 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 factors—against the constants above
General: market, complexity or regional 0.85–1.33
Site fabrication and welding 2.00–4.00
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.

21 Plant Constants
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 5-484, ‘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 weight—1600 kg/m3 (loose). Operator skill level—average.
• Job efficiency is estimated—50 min/hour. Uncorrected Maximum Production—570 m3 (loose)/hour.
Correction Factors Summarised:
Hard-packed clay is “hard to cut” material 0.80 Operator skill level—average 0.75
Grade Correction (from graph above) 1.19 Job Efficiency—50 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

1 Indices
1.1 Explanation of Indices Used
Labour Cost Index—LCI
The LCI—Salary & Wages series measures movements in salary and ordinary time wage rates,
and overtime wage rates. Series represented:
• SE53E9–All Sectors Combined: Group 15—Construction
• SE43E9–Private Sector: Group 15—Construction
The latter is the index ‘L’ referred to in NZS 3910:2003—Appendix A, Cost Fluctuation Adjustment
by Indexation.
The SE59E9–LCI—All 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 as at June each year.
Consumer Price Index—CPI
The CPI provides a measure of the changes in the prices of goods and services to consumers, and,
in 2006, underwent a major review of method and items surveyed. Series represented:
• SE9A–All Groups
Capital Goods Price Index—CGPI
The CGPI records the average level of productive capital assets paid by New Zealand industries.
Series represented:
• S2BA–Non-Residential—Shops and Offices
• S2AA–Residential—Dwellings and Out-buildings
• SGC–Other Construction (includes transport ways, pipelines, electrical works, earthmoving
and sitework)
Producers Price Index—PPI
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:
• SNE–Construction Industry Group—Inputs
This is the index ‘M’ referred to in NZS 3910:2003—Appendix A, Cost Fluctuation Adjustment by
Indexation.
Opus Construction Cost Index—CCI
The Opus CCI was a civil engineering index produced by Opus International Consultants Ltd
(formerly Works Consultancy Services Ltd) and is now discontinued.

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 Group—Construction: 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 Group—Construction, 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 $6,000,000 of civil works, tendered in August 2000.
V = $1,550,000 (value of work carried out in quarter ended June 2001)
L = 1131 (LCI index for quarter ended June 2001)
L1 = 1115 (LCI index for quarter ended September 2000)
M = 1130 (PPI index for quarter ended June 2001)
M1 = 1085 (PPI index for quarter ended September 2000)
( 1131 – 1115 ) 0.6 ( 1130 – 1085 )

C = $1,550,000 x 0.4
---------------------------------------------- + ----------------------------------------------
1115 1085
× 16 0.6 × 45
C = $1,550,000 x 0.4
--------------------- + ---------------------
1115 1085
C = $1,550,000 x [ 0.00573991 + 0.0248847 ]

C = $1,550,000 x 0.0306247
C = $47,468.29
Therefore, the cost fluctuation adjustment for the quarter under consideration is $47,468.29.

Compensating for Base Date Changes
Page 6-500
3.3 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 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 years—included above (note that these
do not quite match the original figures—due 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, Refer to page 12-596.
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. Earner’s 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.

Sample Wage Calculations
Page 7-504
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
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
2008
Tender or Contract Rate
Page 7-505
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. Foreman’s
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 7-506) 5 @ $32.93 $164.63
Labourer (for calculation, See page 7-506) 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 Minutes Times Days per Total Hours
per day week Minutes
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 -2.00
per 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 Only—Residential
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.
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.
Our only comment regarding actual rates is to state that in virtually every enquiry, that is, one to two
per year since 1995, the rate suggested has been between $55 and $65 per m2. In that same
period, the hourly charge out rate has increased significantly.
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 One—“Top Down”
Top Down—Working back from the offered rate Scenario One Scenario Two
Purpose: To work out if the rate is one you should Area 200 Area 300
accept, that is, can carry out the work for and make a Rate $60/m2 Rate $90 /m2
profit.
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
percentage from income ‘A’
This gives theoretical cost ‘B’ to carry out the work B $54 $10,800 $81 $24,300
Step Two
Enter the hourly charge out rate per person C $32 $32 $32 $32
Divide the cost rate ‘B’ by charge out rate ‘C’
This will show how many hours per m2 the offered D 1.69 2.53
rate allows to carry out the work hrs/m2 hrs/m2
Step Three
Multiply ‘D’ x project area to give project hours E 338 338 759 759
Step Four
Calculate hours that the work gang costs per week
Hours worked per week F 45 45
Number of staff in gang G 3 3
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 weeks 2.5 5.6
give 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.
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.

Page 7-509
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.
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 Two—“Bottom Up”
Bottom Up—Working out the cost, in order to establish the $/m2 Scenario Three Scenario Four
Purpose: To build up a labour schedule for the
project, establish the cost and then work out the
selling price for the work
Step One
Work out how long the project should take. For this A weeks 4 6
example, we will assume you have already B men 3 4
established the labour hours for the project, and C hrs/wk 45 50
checked it against similar projects from your files.
Multiply ‘A’ x ‘B’ x ‘C’ to give manhours for project D 540 1200
Step Two
Enter the hourly charge out rate E $32 $32
Multiply manhours ‘D’ by hourly charge out rate ‘E’ F $17,280 $38,400
Step Three
Add establishment, vehicle, supervision, overheads G $1,695 $2,543
See separate calculation in next table for ‘G’
Step Four
Add labour cost ‘F’ and establishment costs ‘G’ H $18,975 $40,943
Step Five
Calculate preferred profit margin J 10% $1,898 $4,094
Add ‘H’ and ‘J’ to give total including profit margin K $20,873 $45,037
Step Six
Divide the total ‘K’ by the m2 for the project. This will say say
give you the $ per m2 rate 250m2 $83/m2 400m2 $113/m2
• Please note, these demonstrate calculations for
arriving at a rate, and are not recommended or
‘going’ rates
• The labour hours used in this calculation are
merely examples, and not an indication of how long
a particular project will take.

Accident Compensation
IRPC Act 2001
Page 7-511
3 Accident Compensation
3.1 IRPC Act 2001
• The Injury Prevention, Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2001(IRPC) came into effect on
1 April 2002, and replaced the Accident Insurance Act 1998.
3.2 Before the IRPC
• 1999-2001: Accident Insurance Act 1998, with some aspects amended by Accident
Insurance Amendment Act 2000, Accident Insurance (Transitional Provisions) Act 2000.
ACC—the Accident Compensation Corporation—restored as the sole provider of workplace
accident insurance.
• 1998-1999: Accident Insurance Act 1998. Employers must have workplace accident
insurance cover for employees.
• 1992-1998: Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Act 1992.
State versus private accident insurance is an area of fundamental policy difference for some
political parties, and the above changes follow changes of Government between 1992 to 2005.
3.3 Levy Year
Under the IRPC, all payments to ACC for accident cover are called levies (previously premiums).
Accident cover is provided for a levy year, which is a 12-month period running from 1 April to 31
March. ACC WorkPlace Cover levies pay for the current and future cost of work-related injury
claims that occur in the levy year.
At $2.95 per $100—the Levy plus Residual &HSE combined—the building rate has been reduced
from a combined rate of $3.23 in 2007/2008.
3.4 Invoicing for Levies
Employer levies are invoiced in two parts, firstly a provisional invoice for the current levy year, 1
April–31 March for the WorkPlace Cover levy. Secondly, an adjustment invoice for the previous
levy year, 1 April–31 March for the Residual Claims levy, incorporating the HSE levy, $0.05 per
$100 of liable earnings (Health and Safety in Employment).
In 2007, employers were contacted by ACC to confirm their classification. IRD can alter this
process, despite ACC confirmation, resulting in levy invoices based on incorrect rates.
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 levy—to 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, and have been relatively stable at between $1.20 and $1.40 per $100 of earnings.
The maximum amount of earnings—per individual—liable for the combined earner levy deduction
is $102,922 for the 2008/09 financial year. This has increased every year, eg, the maximum liable
earnings in 2000 was $83,017, in 2004 it was $88,728, and in 2007/08 year it was $99,817. But it’s
not a tax!
• Earner levy—$1.40 per $100 of earnings—reduced from $1.403 in 2007/8 levy year.
• Earners’ account residual levy—included
3.6 Self Employed Persons
Self employed persons may choose between ACC CoverPlus or ACC CoverPlus Extra for all work
and non-work injuries, except for motor vehicle accidents which remain covered by ACC.

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 11-541.
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 return—the 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.

2 Design Documentation
2.1 Introduction
For years the building sector has lacked a common language on the varying types of design
services available, as well as their applicability to particular building requirements. This has created
misunderstandings for designers and builders, and for their clients. From misunderstanding, costly
problems emerged.
The industry (through the Construction Industry Council) has 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.
2.2 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.
2.3 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 11-543. 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.
2008
Use of the Guidelines
Page 11-542
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)
• 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 Consultant’s service or defined
separately.

2.4 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
Preliminary Cost Advice
Page 11-544
3 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:
3.1 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.
3.2 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.
3.3 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.
3.4 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.
3.5 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
Different Ways to Specify
Page 11-545
4 Specifications
4.1 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 system’s database will accurately
reflect industry thinking. A further critical ingredient is the ongoing maintenance of the master
specification system’s reference base and technical content. Standards, codes, Acts of Parliament,
industry references and accepted construction practice are all subject to continuing development
and change.
4.2 Approaches to Specifying
Different approaches to specifying can be employed within a single master specification system.
The subtractive approach. Where the specifier deletes what doesn’t 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 Zealand’s 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 MasterSpec®—particularly while
they are presented as a series of individual word processing files—are generally customised using
a mixture of subtractive and additive techniques.
2008
Specifications
MasterSpec® Systems
Page 11-546
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 ambiguities—which are generally held against the specifier in a court of law—
and 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 experience—local and overseas—from 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.
4.3 MasterSpec® Systems
MasterSpec® STANDARD—for all commercial, industrial and larger residential projects
MasterSpec® ENGINEERING—a subset of STANDARD, focusing on civil and structural
engineering aspects of commercial, industrial and larger residential projects
MasterSpec® BASIC—for residential and smaller commercial projects
MasterSpec® MINOR—for 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 specifications—contractors, territorial
authorities, subcontractors and suppliers—is 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.

Coordinated Building Information—CBI
Page 11-547
4.4 Coordinated Building Information—CBI

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
Physical Content
Page 11-548
5 Measurement of Buildings
5.1 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 4202—The Standard Method of Measurement of Building
Works—which is the most commonly used guideline for measurement of building works.
5.2 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
5.3 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.

• National Office, Property Council of New Zealand Incorporated
P. O. Box 1033, Auckland. Tel 64+9-373-3086
Method of Measurement 1. Office Accommodation—Entire 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 accommodation—Part 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
Overview
Page 11-550
6 Feasibility Studies
6.1 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.
6.2 Spreadsheet Versions
Spreadsheet versions of the following tables are included on the CD-ROM, there is a link on the
main CD-ROM Handbook navigation page.

Contractual Systems
Traditional Tender System
Page 11-553
7 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 11-556.
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.
7.1 Traditional Tender System
Tenders may be called for the construction on either:
• a “selected” basis—where 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 basis—where 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 surveyor’s 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.
2008
Contractual Systems
Competitive Negotiation
Page 11-554
Key points
• price is known before building owner is committed to construction—allowing 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.
7.2 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:
• Preliminaries—i.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.
2008
Contractual Systems
Direct Negotiation
Page 11-555
7.3 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.
7.4 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.
7.5 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 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.
7.6 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.

Contractual Systems
Definitions
Page 11-556
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.
7.7 Definitions
Construction Management. The construction manager—an individual, consultancy firm, or a
builder—is 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
• many other services.
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 3910:2003—Conditions 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 and communications. A range of disputes resolution procedures are provided. Payment
processes are 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 3915:2000—Conditions of Contract for Building and Civil Engineering Construction—
where 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.
Agreement for Small Building Contracts
These Conditions have been developed for the Standards Council under the supervision of the
Conditions of Contract Sectional Committee.
They are intended to provide a form of building contract agreement suitable for owners who are
making their own building arrangements.

Parts of the NZIA Standard Conditions of Contract SCC 2007 1st Edition relating to retentions are
reproduced herein with the express permission of the New Zealand Institute of Architects. All
copyright provisions contained in SCC 2007 apply equally to these reproduced clauses.
14.2 Architect’s assessment of Payment Claims
The Architect must deduct the following amounts from the amount the Architect
assesses:
(a) any retentions the Principal is entitled to retain;
(b) any other amounts which the Contract allows to be deducted;
14.2.3 (c) the total of the amounts previously certified for payment.
14.9 Retentions
The Principal is entitled to retain an amount to ensure performance and to cover
14.9.1 liability for any defects. This amount is stated in the Specific Conditions.
The Contractor is entitled to require that the amount retained by the Principal is
14.9.2 secured in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Contractor.
When the Architect certifies Practical Completion of the Contract Works or a
Separate Section, the Architect must at the same time issue a Payment Schedule
under Rule 14.6 showing the retentions payable as the Scheduled Amount. The
percentage of the retentions payable when Practical Completion has been
14.9.3 achieved is stated in the Specific Conditions.
When the Architect certifies that the Contractor has completed all omissions,
corrected all defects, completed all deferred work and the Defects Liability Period
for the Contract Works or a Separate Section of them has ended, the Architect
must at the same time issue a Payment Schedule under Rule 14.6 showing the
balance of the retentions as the Scheduled Amount. The percentage relating to
14.9.4 liability for any defects is stated in the Specific Conditions.
The issuing of a Practical Completion Certificate or a Defects Liability Period
certificate does not relieve the Contractor of any of the Contractor’s obligations
14.9.5 under the Contract which remain unperformed or not properly performed.

The Principal shall, in accordance with the Progress Payment Schedule, retain out
of the amount which would otherwise be payable such retention monies as are
required under the Special Conditions in respect of the whole of the Contract
Works or any Separable Portion. The amount to be retained in respect to the
Contract Works shall be reduced upon the completion of any Separable Portion
under 10.7.2 by such percentage as shall be equitable. The percentage reduction
Clause 12.3.1 shall be determined by the Engineer.
The monies retained, less any deductions which the Principal is entitled to make,
Clause 12.3.2 shall be paid to the Contractor as follows:
By payment, as part of the first progress payment after the issue of the
certificate of Practical Completion for the whole of the Contract Works or for
the Separable Portion, of any amount in excess of the defects liability
(a) retention specified in the Special Conditions;
By payment, as part of the first and any subsequent progress payment after
the end of the Period of Defects Liability for the whole of the Contract Works
or for the Separable Portion, of the defects liability retention less the
Engineer’s assessment of the value of the Contract Works remaining to be
completed in accordance with 11.2 at the time of the progress certification.
The assessed value of such remaining Contract Works shall be the
assessed Cost to the Principal of making good those omissions and defects
(b) in accordance with 11.2.3;
By payment of any remaining defects liability retention 10 Working Days
after the date of the Defects Liability Certificate in respect of the whole of the
(c) Contract Works or of the Separable Portion.

Construction Periods
Page 11-562
10 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.
Building Type Value $m Approximate Duration in Weeks
Documentation Construction Total Project
Simple Projects 0.5–1 5–10 15–25 20–35
e.g. warehouses, etc. 2–3 8–12 40–50 48–52
Average Projects 4–8 30–40 55–70 85–110

e.g. multi-storey offices, etc. 10–16 40–50 80–90 120–140

Construction Periods
Acceleration
Page 11-563
10.1 Acceleration
‘Acceleration’ is a term which is used when the project period—combined design and construction
time—has 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.
Allow extra time for tenancy fit-out and specialist services etc.

Cash Flow
Client’s View Point
Page 11-564
11 Cash Flow
11.1 Client’s 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.
11.2 Contractor’s 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.
11.3 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 11-565.

Page 11-566
11.5 S—Curve
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.

Property Insurance
Indemnity value
Page 11-567
12 Property Insurance
A property may be insured in one of two ways—either for “indemnity value” or for “replacement
value”.
12.1 Indemnity value
Provides the lesser cover—a 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 loss—
no 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.

Insurance Valuations
Valuing Buildings for Insurance
Page 11-568
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 costs—increased 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
Building Element Calculation Time % $ value
Estimated/calculated building value on acquired data, at rates current at the $1,500,000
time of estimate
Cost escalation for period
Design and documentation 3 months
Calling tenders and appraisal 1 month
Construction period and fit-out (mean cash point) 7 months
Total = 11 months
11 months escalation in building costs—say 0.33% per month = 3.63% $54,450
Sub-Total $1,554,450
Professional fees—say 10% $155,445
Cost of removal of debris, say $15,000
Sub-Total $1,724,895
Cost escalation in the lapse period possible between policy
renewal dates
(worst case assumed)—12 months @ 0.33% = 3.96% $68,305
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 Operating Costs of Buildings

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.

Operating Costs of Buildings
Accounting for Operating Expenses
Page 11-570
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 11-548.
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 Flow—DCF
Page 11-572
15.2 Discounted Cash Flow—DCF

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

Note: this example has been updated from the 20% originally used as the interest rate, and which
gave a present worth of $323.01. For those too young to remember paying mortgages and/or
funding projects in the 1980’s, 20% was applicable back then.
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.

By using uniform and aggregated present worth tables the calculations can be presented as
follows:
Alternative calculation method

X–system life 10 years. 47,934
Assume replacement at year 10 and year 20
$(115,600–3,000) x 0.4257
Y–system life 15 years. 27,734
Assume replacement at year 15
$(158,800–7,000) x 0.1827

Y–$28,200 x 8.055 227,151
Total Present Worth Costs $468,103 $413,685
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
LCC Analysis Generally
Page 11-576
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.

se = structural engineer qs = quantity surveyor
ee = electrical engineer sc = specialist consultant
me = mechanical engineer ad = architectural designer
Note: additional to above fees: clerk of works, town planner, interior designer, project manager,
programmer, surveyor, valuer.
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
Introduction
Page 11-577
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 process—strategic 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 stage—as 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%.

Accident Insurance Act Effective 1 July 1999, employers must have workplace accident insurance
1998 cover for employees, that provides any injured employee with at least the
cover and entitlements provided for by legislation. This remains the
principal Act, with some aspects amended—see below.
Accident Insurance These Acts together amend arrangements so that ACC (the Accident
Amendment Act 2000, Compensation Corporation) is reinstated as the sole provider of workplace
Accident Insurance accident insurance. No new contracts may be issued by private insurers as
(Transitional Provisions) of April 1, 2000, and all businesses have their cover reverted to ACC as of
Act 2000 July 1, 2000.

setting of performance standards for buildings, to ensure that; people who
use buildings can do so safely and without endangering their health;
buildings have attributes that contribute appropriately to the health, physical
independence, and well-being of the people who use them;
people who use a building can escape from the building if it is on fire; and
buildings are designed, constructed, and able to be used in ways that
promote sustainable development.
Building Research Levy Act To provide for research into improved techniques and materials for use in
1969 the building industry. It funds the Building Research Association of New
Zealand. A levy is payable at the rate of $1.00 per $1,000 ,or part thereof,
of contract value (minimum $20,000 contract value.) The levy is payable to
the local authority with the building consent.

Arbitration Act 1996
Introduction
Page 12-587
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)
• provide consistency between international and domestic arbitration in New Zealand
• 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 Points—The 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 If there is no agreement between the parties confidentiality applies to the
proceedings and awards.
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 Arbitration proceedings can be terminated if the claimant fails to
communicate the statement of claim amongst other reasons.
Article 33 Within 30 days of receipt of the award a party may request the Arbitral
Tribunal to correct an arithmetical, clerical or typographical error 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).

Main Points—The Act itself
Page 12-589
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.
Article 3 This is probably one of the most important articles in the Second Schedule.
This article provides the Arbitral Tribunal with the powers (amongst others)
to:
• Adopt inquisitorial processes
• Order the provision of further and better particulars of claim or defence
• Draw on its own knowledge and experience
• Order security for costs
• Order the discovery and production of documents
Under the previous Act these powers were only available to the Courts but
now 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 party’s
right of appeal to the High Court to determine the legitimacy of the Arbitral
Tribunals costs and conditions under which the award can be released.

We acknowledge the permission of the Department of Building and Housing in reproducing this
information.
4.2 Building Act
The Building Act 2004 was passed in August 2004, with staged provisions, and is designed to
govern the building industry from 30 November 2004. The Building Amendment Act 2005 was
passed in April 2005 and the Building Amendment Act 2008 was passed in March 2008, and
contains various changes. The full version is on the CD version.

Copies of the Act, the Amendment Acts, regulations and forms are contained on the CD-ROM that
accompanies this book. Refer also to www.dbh.govt.nz for a wide range of resources relating to the
Act, implementation and licensing.
4.4 Key Dates
1 November 2004
The Department of Building and Housing was established.
30 November 2004
• Responsibility for administration of building legislation transfered to the Department of
Building and Housing.
• The Building Industry Authority (BIA) was dissolved and its staff joined the Department of
Building and Housing.
• The Department's powers to draft regulations came into force.
• Mandatory warranties to protect consumers took effect.
• Restrictions to the sale of household units by property developers took effect.
• The majority of offence provisions applied from 30 November 2004 (sections 363-374).
31 March 2005
Transition provisions (sections 432-439)
• Building projects granted a building consent before 31 March 2005 will be completed under
the provisions of the Building Act 1991, with one important exception. Code compliance
certificates (CCCs) for these projects will be issued against the Building Code in place when
the consent was issued, not against the Building Code at the time the code compliance
certificate is applied for.
Building consents (sections 40-52)
• If a person does urgent building work without a consent, he/she must apply for a certificate of
acceptance as soon as practicable.
• If a compliance schedule, or alterations to a compliance schedule, will be required as part of
the project the consent application must include information about the specified systems in
the building.
• In certain circumstances, copies of consents will be provided to the NZ Fire Service
Commission for advice.
• From 2009 the consent process will include providing confirmation that a licensed building
practitioner is involved in the project. Licensed building practitioners will also be required to
notify the building consent authority of breaches to the building consent.

Certificates of Acceptance (sections 96-99)

• Certificates of acceptance are new. They provide a means of retrospectively approving
unconsented building work, or work certified by a private certifier that has exited the market
before a CCC could be issued. A certificate of acceptance states that, to the extent an
inspection was able to be carried out, the work is compliant with the Building Code.
Upgrading existing buildings (sections 112-116)
• The Act introduces more stringent requirements around Building Code compliance when
there is a change in the use of a building. Territorial authorities can allow alterations to an
existing building without imposing the need to comply with all provisions of the Building Code,
if the alterations will improve means of escape from fire or access for people with disabilities.
Code Compliance Certificates (sections 91-95)
• Code compliance certificates (CCCs) will be issued against the original building consent.
• In the first instance, the building consent authority that issued the building consent must issue
the CCC. However, another BCA can issue the CCC, if there is an agreement between it and
the building owner.
• Applications for CCCs are compulsory, and must be considered within 20 working days. If an
application is not received, a BCA has two years from the date of consent to decide whether
to issue a CCC.
• It is an offence to permit public use of a building for which no CCC has been granted.
Compliance Schedules and Annual Building Warrant of Fitness (sections 100-111)
• A compliance schedule must be issued at the same time as a CCC, if it is required. A
territorial authority may charge a fee for the issue of a compliance schedule, and amend it on
its own initiative. Building owners have specific obligations to meet compliance schedule
requirements. Building owners will need to supply a detailed building warrant of fitness to the
territorial authority annually. Compliance schedules will be required for cable cars from 31
March 2008.
Producer statements
• The producer statements no longer have any specified status in the legislation. They will still
be a mechanism to help establish compliance with the Building Code.
Dangerous, earthquake-prone and insanitary buildings (sections 121-132)
• The definition of an earthquake-prone building is no longer limited to un-reinforced masonry.
Territorial authorities have power to prohibit use of buildings. When the territorial authority
issues a warrant to fix insanitary conditions immediately, the warrant does not need to be
confirmed by the district court if the building owner cooperates with the process.
Inspections (sections 222-232)
• Authorised officers from territorial authorities must be able to produce written confirmation of
their identity when inspecting building work on private land.
Interim Code Compliance Certificates (Interim CCC’s)
• There will be no interim CCC’s under the new legislation.
Project Information Memorandum (PIM) (sections 31-39)
• The Act introduces minor changes to the PIM process. PIMs must be issued within 20
working days, but this can be extended if additional information is required. The PIM will
inform the owner of requirements under the Fire Service Act 1975, as well as the Historic
Places Act 1993. If any development contribution will be levied, or a resource consent
required under the Resource Management Act 1991, information on these matters must be
attached to the PIM.
• If a PIM is not issued within the prescribed period, the building consent application can
continue.

Notice to Fix (sections 163-168)

• This was previously called a notice to rectify. Territorial authorities must issue a notice to fix if
there is a breach of the building control system. The Act specifies that a notice to fix must
include a timeframe for the notice to be complied with, and the name of the person who must
notify the territorial authority when the work has been done. The territorial authority must then
inspect the work and decide if the notice has been complied with. Failure to comply with a
notice to fix could result in a fine of up to $200,000, and a further fine of up to $20,000 for
every day the offence continues.
Waivers and modifications (sections 67-74)
• Territorial authorities will have power to waive or modify the requirements of the Building
Code, but are required to notify the chief executive of the Department of Building and
Housing of the decision.
2005–2006
Certification of building products
• Products can be certified as complying with the Building Code. Certificates will be issued by
third party certification bodies. These bodies will be accredited themselves, by an
accreditation agency appointed by the Chief Executive of the Department of Building and
Housing. Product certification will be introduced in 2005—2006.
Infringement notices (sections 370-374)
• Provisions for infringement offences will be set out in regulations. These regulations will be
developed in 2005—2006.
30 November 2007
Building consents
• All city and district councils must accept and process applications for building consents
(except in relation to dams). Consents can also be issued by private companies who are
registered building consent authorities.
Building Code changes
• The Building Code will be reviewed by 30 November 2007 to examine how it could be more
user-friendly, and ensure that performance standards for buildings are clear and meet
community expectations. These changes will take into account the Act's requirements for
sustainable development and for buildings that help people stay healthy and comfortable.
Registration of building consent authorities
• Councils and private building certifiers will need to be registered as building consent
authorities to issue building consents, Code compliance certificates, notices to fix, and
certificates of acceptance. The Act allows for registration of councils, and private companies
and individuals.
• To be registered the applicant will have to be assessed on whether they meet quality
standards for their procedures, processes and people. This assessment will be carried out by
an accreditation body appointed by the Chief Executive of the Department of Building and
Housing. The other standards that a building consent authority needs to meet will be set out
in regulations.
• Regional authorities will be responsible for consenting dams and will need to become building
consent authorities.
• Councils, companies and individuals will need to be registered by 30 November 2007 to carry
out functions as a building consent authority.
31 March 2008
Compliance Schedules and Annual Building Warrant of Fitness (sections 100-111)
• Compliance schedules will be required for cable cars from 31 March 2008.

Building consents
• Applications for building consents will have to include a list of the licensed building
practitioners who will be involved in the project.
Licensing of building practitioners
• The Act sets up a system for licensing building practitioners.
• Restricted work: Regulations will define certain work as having to be done or supervised by a
Licensed Building Practitioner. This work is called 'restricted work'.
• Categories of licences: Exactly what types of trade will be licensed will be set out in
regulations. The Department of Building and Housing will run the licensing system.
• Board: People will be able to make complaints about licensed building practitioners. These
complaints will be heard by an independent Board.
• A licensed building practitioner will have to do, or supervise, any restricted work from 30
November 2009.
Building consents (sections 40-52)
• From 2009 the consent process will include providing confirmation that a licensed building
practitioner is involved in the project. Licensed building practitioners will also be required to
notify the building consent authority of breaches to the building consent.
4.5 Scope Of Building Work Under The Act
Section 8 of the Building Act 2004 defines Building: what it means and includes
• temporary or permanent, movable or immovable, structure
• electrical/mechanical or other system attached to building structure
• fence as defined in section 2 of Fencing of Swimming Pools Act 1987
• vehicle or motor vehicle that is immovable and occupied by people on a permanent or long-
term basis
• mast pole or telecommunication aerial on or part of a building, and more than 7m in height
from point of attachment or base support
• any 2 or more buildings that, on completion of building work, are intended to be managed as
one building with a common use and a common set of ownership arrangements
• non-moving parts of cable car attached to or servicing a building, and, from 30 March 2008,
moving parts of those cable cars.
Section 9 of the Building Act 2004 defines Building: what it does not include
• a NUO (network utility operator) system, or part of a NUO system, external to the building,
connected to or intended to be connected to the building, and not a mast pole or
telecommunication aerial on or forming part of a building
• cranes
• ski tows or other similar stand-alone machinery systems
• any description of vessel, boat, ferry or craft used in navigation
• aircraft
• offshore installations to be used for petroleum mining

1996, ie, means any vessel or structure, whether moveable or fixed, in which hazardous
substances may be cased, covered, enclosed, contained, or packed
• magazines as defined in section 2(1) of the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms Act
1996, ie, means any building, chamber, cave, pit, cellar, hulk, floating vessel, or place in
which explosives or partly manufactured explosives are stored.

Licensed Building Practitioners
Page 12-594
4.6 Licensed Building Practitioners

From 2009 certain building work called ‘restricted work’ will have to be carried out or supervised by
a licensed building practitioner.
Restricted work is work that has the potential to cause significant harm to the building envelope or
structural damage if it is not done correctly.
To get a licence, practitioners will have to show a certain level of capability based on:
• practical experience and/or
• evidence of qualifications.
They will also have to pay a fee.
The goal of the licensing regime is to improve the quality of building work by:
• improving the skills of people who do or supervise building work
• identifying and holding responsible those who do or supervise building work
• helping consumers choose competent building practitioners
• providing a complaints and discipline process for consumers dissatisfied with the standard of
building work.
A public online register will list information about licensed people including contact information and
details of any disciplinary breaches. If someone is licensed and does substandard work, a
complaint can be laid with the Building Practitioners Board. If the complaint is upheld, that person
could be censured, fined, ordered to do some extra training or struck off.
Licensing will not become compulsory for five years to allow time for those who may need to upskill.
But people can choose to become licensed earlier if they wish, so long as they meet the required
standard for licensing. It is expected that the builders will be able to apply for some licenses by
November 2007.
4.7 Building Code Review
The Building Act 2004 brings in the first major review of the New Zealand Building Code since
1991. The review must take place by 30 November 2007.
The legislation (section 451) requires that:
The chief executive [of the Department of Building and Housing] must consider—
• the extent to which the building code complies with and meets the requirements of this Act;
and
• the extent to which the building code is stated in sufficient detail to provide clear guidance on
performance standards that buildings must meet to ensure compliance with the building code.
Effectively, this means the Building Code will be reviewed to make it better meet users' needs, and
to ensure performance standards for buildings are clear and meet community expectations.
The changes will take into account the Act’s requirements for sustainable development, and for
buildings to help people stay healthy and comfortable.
When the review is finished the Building Code will have different requirements. It will also be easier
to understand and to use.

Employment Relations
Introduction
Page 12-596
5 Employment Relations
5.1 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 three times, in 2001 and 2004.
5.2 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.
5.3 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.
5.4 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 party’s representative by not bargaining or communicating with
those for whom the representative acts, about employment conditions.
• fairly represent the other party’s position in the negotiations to those on whose behalf the
other party is acting.
• provide relevant information necessary for the purposes of negotiations.
5.5 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.
5.6 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
2008
Independent Contractors
Page 12-597
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.
5.7 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.
5.8 Collective Agreement and Bargaining
Only registered unions and employers will be able to negotiate and enter into Collective
Agreements (CA’s). 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 CA’s 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 employer’s right to dismiss an employee for just cause.
5.9 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.
5.10 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.
Legislation
2008
Access to Information
Page 12-598
Where strike action occurs, and normal work is unavailable as a result of the strike, an employer
may suspend non-striking employees without pay.
5.11 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.
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
Registration under the Act
Page 12-599
6 Historic Places Act 1993

6.1 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.
6.2 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 C’s and D’s are now category 2 historic places.
6.3 Purpose of Registration
Under the Historic Places Act 1993 registration is primarily an advocacy tool—it 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 Trust’s 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.
6.4 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.

Resource Management Act
Overview
Page 12-600
7 Resource Management Act

7.1 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.
7.2 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.
7.3 Activity Types
The Act defines a number of types of activity. These are:
• permitted activities—allowed by a district plan without a resource consent, although
conditions may be imposed;
• controlled activities—specified 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 activities—specified in a plan as requiring a resource consent, to be granted
in accordance with criteria in the Act or in a plan;
• non-complying activities—contravene a plan but are not prohibited. Resource consent is
required;
• prohibited activities—expressly 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.
7.4 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.
Legislation
2008
Time Limits
Page 12-601
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.
7.5 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.
7.6 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

Prosecutions and Remedies

applicants.
7.7 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.
7.8 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 defendant’s 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.

8 Construction Contracts Act

8.1 Introduction
The Construction Contracts Act 2002 was passed into law on 19 November 2002, and effective
from 1 April 2003.
8.2 Background to the Legislation
Typically, construction industry contracts provide for work to be paid after the work has been
carried out. Payments are usually made by instalments as the work progresses, but they are very
seldom made in advance. This pattern of payments often means that a developer, principal, or
head-contractor with cash-flow problems may deliberately delay payment for work done and, in
effect, use those further down the contractual chain to partly finance the construction project.
8.3 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.

9 Weathertight Homes
9.1 WHRS Act 2002
The Weathertight Homes Resolution Services Act 2002 passed into law on 19 November 2002,
effective immediately. It was added to the Construction Contracts Bill as a supplementary order
paper, and passed under urgency. This Act was repealed by the WHRS Act 2006
9.2 Objectives of the 2002 Act
The purpose of this Act is to provide owners of dwellinghouses that are leaky buildings with access
to speedy, flexible, and cost-effective procedures for assessment and resolution of claims relating
to those buildings. In general terms, this Act provides for the following matters.
Assessment and evaluation of claims in relation to leaky buildings. Sections 7 to 12 provide a
mechanism for owners of dwellinghouses who consider that their dwellinghouse is a leaky building
to (i) submit their claim; and (ii) have it, and the nature of the particular problem, assessed and
evaluated; and (iii) be provided with an assessor's report.
Mediation of claims. Sections 13 to 21 make provision for access to a special mediation service
that is available to dwellinghouse owners with eligible claims. The claiming owner and any of the
other parties against whom the claim is made may agree to refer the claim to mediation, with
provision for binding settlements by agreement.
Compulsory adjudication of claims. Sections 22 to 55, and the Schedule, set up a mechanism
whereby dwellinghouse owners can have their eligible claims referred to adjudicators whose
powers and procedures are flexible and whose determinations, subject to appeal, are binding and
enforceable.
Miscellaneous provisions. Sections 56 to 64 set out various miscellaneous matters that underpin
the substantive provisions of this Act.
9.3 WHRS Act 2006
Changes to the WHRS were announced in July 2006, and passed into law on 18 December 2006,
with an effective date of 1 May 2007. This Act completely replaces the previous Act.
The measures, intended to benefit claimants and potential homebuyers, include:
• Requiring territorial authorities to place WHRS notices on affected property files, and to make
that information available on Land Information Memorandum (LIM) reports
• Changing the voting thresholds to make it easier for a class action approach to be taken by
owners of units within apartment blocks
• Setting statutory time limits on mediation
• Enhancing the power and authority of adjudicators, including new offence provisions for
failure to comply with a witness summons and intentionally disrupting proceedings
• Establishing a new specialist Weathertight Homes Tribunal administered by the Ministry of
Justice. Assessment and mediation remain with the Department of Building and Housing.
9.4 Weathertight Homes Resolution Services (Remedies) Amendment Act
This Act amends the Weathertight Homes Resolution Services Act 2006 to make clear the
remedies that may be claimed under that Act and ordered by the Weathertight Homes Tribunal in
determining a claim adjudicated by it under that Act.

Revenue Recognition
Overview
Page 13-606
1 Revenue Recognition
1.1 Overview
The recognition of income and deductibility of expenditure on LTCC's—Long Term Construction
Contracts, i.e., those exceeding 12 months—has been an issue between Inland Revenue and
taxpayers for some time. There are currently no specific provisions on LTCC’s 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;
Tax
2008
Revenue Recognition
Summary
Page 13-607
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;
• In applying the percentage of completion method, retentions of project revenues by the
customer be excluded from revenues and be recognised only when receivable.
This recommendation as noted above has been rejected by the Government.
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.
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 facts—such 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 yet given any clear
indication of when the new provisions on LTCC's will be enacted.
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.
Also it is not known at this stage whether the rules to be enacted will apply to existing projects or
only those which commence on or after the date of enactment.

Income Tax—Land Sales
Definition
Page 13-608
2 Income Tax—Land Sales

2.1 Definition
For the purposes of Income Tax the definition of land includes buildings on the land.
2.2 Profit Taxable
Sections CB5 to CB21 of the Income Tax Act 2004 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.

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. The rate of GST so charged is generally 12.5% 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 $40,000.
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 12.5%.
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.
Tax
2008
Goods and Services Tax
How Does GST Work
Page 13-609
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.
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 $125 GST. The
contractor uses these goods in his business and makes supplies which he sells for $3,000 and
charges $375 GST.
At the end of the accounting period, the contractor declares $375 output tax less $125 input tax and
then pays the balance of $250 to Inland Revenue. On a payment basis the contractor has no net
cash outflow due to GST.
3.3 Accounting—Periods
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 $250,000.
In order to change an accounting period, a registered person must apply in writing to Inland
Revenue.
3.4 Accounting—Basis
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 $1,300,000 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, if consideration is $225,000 or more, unless
settlement is within one year.
Tax
2008
Tax Invoices
Page 13-610
Hybrid Basis. Under this method output tax is accounted for on an invoice basis while input tax is
claimed on a payments basis. 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 to another registered person require that a Tax Invoice be issued to enable the purchaser to
claim a credit for GST paid. 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
• 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
• or—the 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 1/9 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
Tax
2008
GST Payments and Refunds
Page 13-611
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:
• 5 percent on the amount not paid by the due date.
• 2 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.
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 invoice—IRD 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.
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.
Tax
2008
Credit and Debit Notes
Page 13-612
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 date—excluding GST $12,000.00
Less previous claim—excluding GST $9,000.00
This progress claim $3,000.00
Plus 12.5% GST $375.00
Total Due $3,375.00
The main contractor receives the claim, deducts 10% for
retentions, and pays the subcontractor as follows:
Total Claim $3,375.00
Less retention of 10% $337.50
Cheque to subcontractor $3,037.50
The subcontractor is now in the situation where he has a Tax Invoice showing $375.00 GST,
however, he has received only $337.50, with the balance due at some future date.
The subcontractor, assuming he accounts for GST on an invoice basis, must either pay $375 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 claim—excluding GST $9,000.00
This progress claim $3,000.00
Less retention—say 10% $300.00
$2,700.00
Plus 12.5% GST $337.50
Total due this claim $3,037.50
The GST to be returned by the subcontractor is $337.50 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.
• EITHER—the original consideration, the correction consideration, the difference between
those two amounts and the tax on the difference. OR—where the tax charged is the tax
fraction of the consideration, the difference referred to above and a statement that the
difference includes GST.
Tax

Increased Costs and Variations
Page 13-613
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 if the self billing system is not used.
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 other than as a
taxable supply, typically from unregistered persons, the registered person is entitled to a notional
input tax credit being the tax fraction of the consideration. (i.e. 1/9).
• 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 1/9 of the purchase price
being $222.22. No deduction for input tax is available until the goods have been paid for.
Record keeping requirements to facilitate a deduction when the consideration exceeds $50 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, however, judicial decisions have expressed some doubt
on this.

Fringe Benefits—GST Implications
Page 13-614
3.12 Fringe Benefits—GST 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.
Significant changes to the FBT rules relating to motor vehicles have been introduced, effective 1
April 2006. This in turn affects the GST component. For FBT, Refer to page 13-617.
An example of Fringe Benefit subject to GST:
Cost of vehicle supplied to employee by registered person $26,00 $26,00
(GST inclusive) 0 0
Annual value of fringe benefit at 20% $5,200 $5,200
Employee’s annual contribution to vehicle costs, say ($300) ($300)
Employee benefit liable to FBT $4,900 $4,900
FBT on liable amount, at 49% or 64% $2,401 $3,136
GST Output tax liability—1/9 of liable value (ie, of $544 $544
$4,900)
Total FBT return value over 12 months $2,945 $3,680
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 12.5 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’.

Private Use/Change of Use
Page 13-615
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 the lesser of the GST inclusive cost of the goods, or 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 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.
Introduced in 1867, stamp duty originally applied to most residential and commercial property and
to financial instruments. This scope was significantly narrowed in 1988, leaving two main types of
stamp duty: conveyance duty and lease duty. Conveyance duty applied to sales of commercial land
and buildings and shares in a flat or office-owning company. Lease duty applied to leases of
commercial land and buildings.
The abolition of conveyance duty and lease duty completes the progressive phasing out over
recent years of stamp duties and similar duties. Conveyance and lease duty on residential property
were repealed in 1988, stamp duty on the creation of forestry rights in 1994, and credit card
transaction duty in 1998.
Conveyance duty was charged as follows:
• 1% on the first $50,000 of the sale price
• then at 1.5% on the amount between $50,000 and $100,000
• and at 2% plus $1,250 on the amount over $100,000
Lease duty was generally charged at 40 cents per $100 of the maximum annual rental payable
under a lease, and $1 per $100 of any premium payable under the lease.
The repeal of the various stamp duty provisions applies to:
• instruments executed after 20 May 1999
• instruments executed between 20 May 1991 and 20 May 1999 if the related transactions
were not completed or, in the case of leases were not carried into effect, on or before 20 May
1999.

Annual Warrants of Fitness
Tax Aspects of Compliance
Page 13-616
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 12-590.
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 travelators
• 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.
• Repairs and maintenance
• 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 do not 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
2008
Other Taxes
Expenditure on Improvements
Page 13-617
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, but does
not include land or property for which a deduction is mandatory and must be claimed in full.
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% of the taxable value of each benefit provided. However, effective from the quarter
commencing 1 April 2000, the FBT rate increased to 64% for employees earning salary and wages
exceeding $60,000.
There is a ‘de minimis’ exemption for “unclassified benefits” of $75 per employee in the quarter or
limited to $450 to all employees in the quarter. ‘de minimis’ means small or trifling.
Significant changes to the FBT rules relating to motor vehicles were introduced effective 1 April
2006. For example, annual FBT on a vehicle costing $26,000 would be $2,548, or $3,328 where
the 64% FBT rate applies. For GST implications and a fuller example, Refer to page 13-614.
• $26,000 x 20% = $5,200 x 49% = $2,548, or $5,200 x 64% = $3,328
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.

Resident Withholding Tax (RWT)
Page 13-618
5.4 Resident Withholding Tax (RWT)

This tax took effect from 1st October 1989. It 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 19.5% for interest (can elect for higher
rate) and 33% for dividends.
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 33 33
Net Company Income = 67 = 67
Dividend Paid to Shareholder 67 67

Tax Paid by Shareholder 22 Nil
Net Cash Result to Shareholder = 45 = 67
Effective Tax Rate 55 **33

** Shareholder is taxed on $1.00 @ 33c* 33
Less Imputation Credit 55
Net Payable Nil
* assumes total income is less than or equal to $60,000, otherwise rate of 39% applies.
5.7 Capital Gains Tax
There is presently no formal capital gains tax regime in New Zealand, but See “Definition” on
page 13-608.
5.8 Late Payment Penalties/Interest
Tax which is paid late is subject to a late payment penalty of 5%. A further penalty of 2% per month
will be charged on the outstanding amount. Use of money interest is also payable on outstanding
amounts.

Tax Rules
Page 13-619
6 Tax Depreciation—Buildings
6.1 Tax Rules
The tax depreciation rules are contained in Section EE of the Income Tax Act 2004.
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.
Special tax depreciation rules applying to buildings.
• Buildings cannot be pooled.
• Depreciation on buildings can be claimed in the year of sale.
• A loss on disposal of a building cannot be claimed as a deduction.
• Buildings do not qualify for increased rates, which are either the historic rate plus 25% of that
rate or the economic rate plus 20% of that rate. New assets purchased after the start of the
1995/1996 year may qualify for the 20% loading, e.g., moveable furniture but not fixed fittings.
• A special deduction for assets which are no longer used is not available for buildings.
• When a personal or non-business asset is introduced into a business, generally the market
value at the time is used to calculate depreciation. This rule does not apply to buildings.
• Depreciation on buildings acquired before the 1993-1994 income year is calculated using the
straight line (SL) method. From the 1993-1994 income year onwards you can decide each
year whether to use the straight line or diminishing value (DV) method.
• Depreciation on buildings is calculated on either the original cost or the adjusted tax value,
depending on which depreciation method you use.
• The first time you use the diminishing value method, calculate the adjusted tax value of the
building. Depreciation on the building is calculated on this amount. To work out the adjusted
tax value, deduct the amount of depreciation which has been claimed since purchase from
the original cost (excluding land).
• For rates for buildings and plant (including building fit-out, contractors and builders
equipment) acquired before 1 April 1993, Refer to page 13-621.
• For those acquired after 31 March 1993, Refer to page 13-640.
• A tax payer may elect not to depreciate property. This may be useful to avoid depreciation
recovery on residential lettings.
• Note the IRD’s revised views on residential rental chattels. Refer to page 13-641
• The low value asset threshold which allows taxpayers to write off assets immediately is $500.
Land and Buildings. Depreciation cannot be claimed on land. When land and building are
purchased and the price does not specify the cost of the building, the Government Valuation (at the
time of purchase) may be used to calculate the cost of the buildings:
Value of improvements (buildings) x purchase price
Capital value (land & buildings)
Sale of Buildings. When a building is 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.
6.2 Depreciation Rates from 1 April 2005
New depreciation rules came into effect in 2005. Assets (other than buildings) acquired on or after
1 April 2005 and buildings acquired on or after 19 May 2005 can be depreciated at the new rates.
The current depreciation rate tables only apply to assets acquired before 1 April 2005 and buildings
acquired before 19 May 2005. These are now called the "old rates" (not to be confused with the
really old rates, pre–1993).
However, the new rates applicable to construction and property are contained in the tables on the
following pages. See “Tax Depreciation Schedules” on page 13-621.
For other rates not included in our tables, see the Depreciation Rate Finder table below. Look up
the “old rate” for the item in question, in the existing IRD tables, then consult the Rate Finder below
to find the corresponding %. Look across to the “New Rates” columns for the updated rate. Also,
See “Further Depreciation Rates from IRD” on page 13-641.

6.4 IRD Stand: Residential Rental Chattels
Inland Revenue advises that it considers it is unacceptable for residential rental property owners to
break up their properties into smaller components in order to get higher depreciation rates for tax
purposes. The items that Inland Revenue does not believe to be separate assets are internal walls,
doors, electrical wiring and plumbing and so on, as well as furniture and fittings that are
permanently attached and are regarded as being part of the building. These include items such as
kitchen cupboards, bathroom vanities and built-in wardrobes.
An Interpretation Statement on this ruling is being prepared for public consultation.
Property owners are still able to depreciate chattels such as carpets, drapes, light fittings,
whiteware and so on, as separate assets. There is also provision to depreciate separately items
such as water heaters, clothes lines and other fittings that are not part of the building.

7 Retention Formula
A spreadsheet formula can be used to calculate retention values. The formulae shown in cells A2
and A3 of the simulated spreadsheet below use the ‘IF’ worksheet function and are nested to 3
levels. The version in A2 has hard-typed values for the percentages and maximum values,
whereas the version in A3 has cell references (B1, C2, etc.), which can be edited for different
Conditions of Contract. Note: answer is negative.
• A1 = the cell reference for the progress claim valuation from which retentions are to be
deducted.
• B1 = 10% retention (on first $200,000)
• B2 = 5% retention (on the next $800,000, i.e., up to $1,000,000)
• B3 = 1.75% retention on the balance, to a maximum of $200,000 retained, or a progress
claim valuation of $9,000,000.
• Formulae shown in A2 or A3 (copy exactly) will return the retention value.
• Columns C and D contain the fixed values applying when SCC1 is used.

9 Irregular Areas and Volumes

9.1 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).
9.2 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).
9.3 Prismoidal Formula
Volume = --6l- ( A1 + 4A2 + A 3 )
where l is the length, A1 and A3 are the areas of the end, and A2 is the area of the middle section
