Description

The current shortage of products means builders are increasingly turning to alternatives. This can be potentially problematic, and MBIE has recently released specific guidance on what products can be substituted for plasterboard.

It has been well documented that Aotearoa New Zealand is currently facing a shortage of plasterboard and other commonly used building products. This is largely due to supply chain issues associated with the downstream effects of COVID-19 and elevated levels of demand.

Consequently, there is an increased possibility that some building products specified as part of a building consent may need to be substituted with a similar or comparable product.

Scope

In this article:

  • A first-principles approach
  • MBIE’s plasterboard-specific guidance
  • Overview of substitution guidance
