A GeoBuild™ ProjectAn Interoperable Approach

The Building and Construction Sector Today

Slide 2Building and Construction Productivity Partnership, Productivity Roadmap March 2012

2010 - building and construction contributed ~4% of NZ GDP approximately the same as agriculture

$1 spent on construction = $3 of economic activity in NZ

Sector employs 1 in 12 workers in NZ.

Building and Construction Sector Challenges

Slide 3

Productivity declining vs. other sectors and

internationally

Inefficient inconsistent consenting

Low skill level

Fragmented approach to technology

Sector dominated by small businesses 90% < 5 staff

21% sole traders

High procurement

& construction costs

Slide 4

The Programme

A national information exchange “framework” that digitises building, geographical and environmental data and information

which is available online to users

GeoBuildTM is not an IT project, it is a strategy for technology solutions or activities affecting the whole environment to be standards based, open, interoperable and reusable across

organisations. Informatio

n Technology

Why?

The GeoBuild™ Programme takes a holistic, strategic and interoperable approach to the building and construction “system” to encourage the improvement in performance and productivity.

There are currently three components to the GeoBuild™ Programme: A National Online Building Consent System – led by Building and Housing

Acceleration of the use of Building Information Modelling (BIM) – joint Building and Housing / Productivity Partnership

An enhanced national and local Geospatial Information Strategy (GIS) – led by LINZ

Key Project: National Online Consenting System

Slide 12

• ‘End to end’ processing of consents using standard forms and consenting processes

• Applicants receive a common experience, regardless of which BCA processes their consent application.

• It will enable; - faster project approvals, - more predictable outcomes, and - foster improved collaboration between industry professionals.

• Aligns with the BCO national competency assessment framework

• Compliment and align with the Building Act review of the consenting system

• It also aligns with Multi-proof.

1) DBH Online Consenting Business Case 2009

Based upon the 2009 Business Case[1] and adjusting for inflation, the revised benefits to applicants and BCAs is a minimum of $52.4 million per annum.

Early issue of CCC by one week = $1,600 per week for large builders$1,000 for smaller builders.[2]

A saving of just one week for all new houses consented in 2011 would be $14.9 million. No savings have been quantified for time savings for apartments or commercial buildings.

Total projected minimum direct benefits arising from a National Online Consent system are $67.3 million per annum.
