Almost everyone who moves into a new house needs to call back a tradie to deal with a defect, according to new reports. Data in the new BRANZ Build Insights dashboard shows that after they had moved in, 86 percent of new homeowners needed to call back their builder or other tradesperson to fix something after they've moved in. Greg Wallace, CEO of Master Plumbers, says tradies need to focus on getting things right the first time.

House builders and tradespeople deemed as "trusted" will be able to sign off their own work under a self-certification scheme to be introduced by the government. Building and construction Minister Chris Penk spoke to Corin Dann.

A promise tradies have to get it right when they sign-off their own work under new rules. The Building and Construction Minister has announced a scheme to let approved firms and tradies like plumbers and drainlayers self-approve work on simple residential jobs. Companies deemed reputable could opt-in. Chris Penk says they'll have to undertake a process of promising quality. "And there will be standards, obviously, that they've got to continue to meet, they've got to have the right sorts of assurances and insurance in place as well - so they've got every incentive to get it right."

There's a belief better pathways to industry and trades training are needed. A report from the New Zealand Initiative has found just 6% of 16-to-19 year-olds participate in workplace learning, while 11% are unemployed. It states schools are geared toward university education, even though only about a third enrol in degrees. Report author Michael Johnston says apprenticeship options need to be more visible to young people. He told Mike Hosking part of the problem is apprenticeship training is viewed as being for the kids who don't cope with the academic path. Johnston says we need to rearrange the system so that young people, regardless of their background and propensities, look at apprenticeship training as a viable option.
