Energy-Efficient Construction with SIPs
Embracing sustainability, this dwelling utilises Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs)—a high-performance building system known for:
Enhanced Thermal Performance: SIPs provide superior insulation, leading to reduced heating and cooling costs and a more comfortable indoor environment.
Expedited Construction: The prefabricated nature of SIPs allows for quicker assembly, potentially reducing on-site construction time by up to 50% compared to traditional methods.
Environmental Benefits: SIPs contribute to a tighter building envelope, minimising air leakage and enhancing overall energy efficiency
In line with the New Zealand Government's recent amendments, constructing minor dwellings up to 70m² is now more straightforward. These changes permit the building of such homes without the need for building consents, provided they meet specific criteria, including:
A simple, single-storey design with a maximum floor area of 70m².
Construction carried out or supervised by licensed building professionals.
Compliance with the New Zealand Building Code.
These regulations aim to simplify the process, making it more accessible for homeowners to add minor dwellings to their properties.
Please note, while the national regulations have been updated, local council rules may still apply.
Embrace the opportunity to expand your living space with the Origin 70m² Minor Dwelling Home—a perfect fusion of classic elegance and modern functionality.
