If you want to add a double garage to an excisting home either attached or detached to the home, must the contractor or owner builder be registered with the NHBRC?
The Act states: Types and dwellings which fall within the scope of the NHBRC Warranty scheme are: All new residential dwellings built after 1 December 1999, regardless of selling price, excluding subsidy homes, should be enrolled. The following are the types of dwellings covered by the warranty: Houses, Flats, Townhouses, Sectional titles, Cluster homes, Employee/Corporate housing, Marionettes, Rented homes. A garage is not a residential building and does not need to be enrolled if it is an extension of the home. A garage does need to be enroled however if it is part of a newly built dwelling.
