Licenses for building houses isn't in force yet. It is partly done, but under construction. The people constructing the system do not have any licences or training in doing so: dbh.govt.nz

There is a LOT to read.

But note, the government will still support DIY. dbh.govt.nz For example, people will still be allowed to replace a weatherboard and even do painting a decorating. I doubt that will include use of a ladder, which will require a degree. Falls from ladders onto noggins is a major medical issue in New Zealand.

Hammer nailing will require a 4 year degree soon, with special emphasis on Treaty issues with Maori language skills a requirement.

Building a whole house will take 7 government departments and swarms of licensed professionals, not to mention 3 lawyer and a very large stash of money. The price of houses has been zooming up recently. Which isn't surprising. But rules are good. The more the better, as gg says. It's only those stupid third world countries which don't have a rules creation industry, working under urgency, with late sittings.

Qwash helmets will be compulsory. We can't be too safe you know and we can't put a price on human life.

Any rule is a good rule.
