Offsite construction

BuiltReady is a voluntary certification scheme for offsite manufacturers, supporting innovative and efficient building methods. It aims to give consumers more building choices, and reduced building and consenting times and costs.

BuiltReady is suitable for offsite manufacturers based in Aotearoa New Zealand and overseas who design (where relevant), manufacture, assemble, transport, and install modular components. A modular component that has a certificate from a registered manufacturer, and is being used as outlined on the certificate, must be accepted by Building Consent Authorities (councils) as meeting the requirements of the New Zealand Building Code.

Guidance on the BuiltReady scheme is available on the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) website.
