Commerce Commission Draft on Building Supplies

[jenny_pt]

Hi All,

So today is the day the CC release the draft on their review of building supplies etc. Are we going to learn anything we don't already know? Unlikely as it's a monopoly and has been for decades. Unless this changes, then nothing does, and it's all just lip service.

Can anyone recommend a builder on the north shore who might be happy to do basic verbal property checks for a set price or perhaps by hourly rate?

We've spent a lot of money on full building inspections over the last 6 months, only to be outbid at every single auction we go to. Rather than...

Hi. This is my first post - so please forgive me if I get this wrong. I have just bought a house in Mount Roskill in Auckland City. The house has a number of problems, but the one I ones I want to focus on fixing first are the leaking roof, and the kitchen. I have rung around 2 roofers and 3 builders...

My partner and I have quite a large fence to build in Avonhead, Christchurch.

About 45-50m down one side, and about 10m at the front and around a corner. (...measures using google earth... - 42.42m side, 11.2m front and corner)
