A cheap way to challenge Council rulings

Getting a ruling on a legal dispute is normally quite expensive. If you elect to sue in court - or you get sued so you have no choice in the matter - the cost of it can make the whole exercise pointless unless there is a substantial amount of money at stake. Fortunately, if you are a party to a building contract you can normally use the much cheaper and faster process known as adjudication under the Constructions Contracts Act, but even that normally costs upwards of $20,000, so it’s only worth it if you are trying to collect more than that. If you are prepared to take your chances with a non-expert process and the amount at stake is no more than $30,000, then you can always use the extremely cheap, informal and relatively fast Disputes Tribunals (our small claims courts) where you argue your case yourself (without a lawyer) before a Referee (who is not an expert in construction law), and you hope that the Referee sees it your way.

However if you want an expert ruling for an affordable cost, there are some very cheap ways of getting a ruling that you ought to consider.

If you happen to be a licensed building practitioner, then one way to get a ruling on whether your work was up to scratch is, ironically, to have a complaint made against you to the Building Practitioners Board. It is not something you would voluntarily subject yourself to (unless you really back yourself), but my point is that it’s not necessarily the end of the world if it does happen. That is because you will be judged by a panel of experts (lawyers, engineers, architects, quantity surveyors, building surveyors, builders, etc.) who understand the industry just like you do. If you have done nothing wrong, they will say so, and that decision goes on the public record so that you can use it in evidence if you are ever challenged later.

But there is an even better way to get an expert ruling on the standard of your workmanship (among other things) and that is to apply to the Chief Executive of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (“MBIE”) for what is known as a “determination”. This is a process that has been available ever since the 1991 Building Act (we are now operating under the 2004 version) so it goes back a long way, but it is not very well known or utilised. It can only be used by people or organisations that have an interest in the building work in question, including Councils, property owners, LBPs, and in some cases neighbours.

Determinations have been used for a whole variety of purposes. Manufacturers, importers and suppliers of building materials have used them to demonstrate their products are code-compliant. Property owners who wanted to avoid applying for a building consent have used them to fi nd out whether their project is exempt or not. There have even been a couple of determinations that have chastised Councils for refusing to issue a code compliance certifi cate simply because the LBP has failed to submit a record of work – a practice that MBIE has confi rmed is unjustifi ed.

Determinations have been used in hundreds of leaky home cases as a prelude to holding the responsible parties to account. In the old days if you were a party to a leaky home dispute, and it was being dealt with in the Weathertight Homes Resolution Service (which is no longer accepting new cases, unfortunately) then instead of paying $10,000-$15,000 for a building surveyor’s report on where the leaks were coming from and what it would take to fi x them, you paid only a few hundred dollars and the Government paid the rest. Admittedly the building surveyor’s report was an expert opinion rather than a ruling, but it carried a lot of weight. Now that that service is no longer available, you can still get something similar using the determination system, for much the same cost.

Although the Government says that determinations are not for disputes about workmanship, you can in fact use them for that purpose, especially when someone is questioning whether your work complies with the building code or the building consent. The MBIE can only refuse to accept your application if you don’t qualify to apply for it, or it has already been applied for, or your application is “not genuine or is vexatious or frivolous”. And the best news of all? It only costs $287.50 including GST if it involves a single house, an attached house, fl ats and apartment blocks of up to four units, or a garage or shed, or $575.00 including GST if it is any other type of building.

There are two things you can apply for a determination for: 1. Whether or not particular work is or will be codecompliant. 2. Whether or not the stance that the Council has taken was right – in relation to such things as building consents, extensions of time, code compliance certificates, notices to fix, waivers or modifi cations of the building

code, compliance schedules, certifi cates of acceptance, and exemptions from building consent requirements.

So don’t believe it when they say “You can’t fi ght City Hall”. You sure can, using a determination. And the process is relatively quick – the MBIE is required to make the determination within three months, although exactly what happens if it misses that deadline isn’t clear. The great thing about determinations is that they are very thoroughly researched and professionally written – and they need to be, because they are like a judgment from a Court. They are legally binding, although you can appeal them to the District Court.

In most cases, determinations are not appealed, but they are not necessarily the end of the matter. Except in the case of Councils – whose decisions can be confi rmed reversed, or modifi ed by the MBIE – a determination cannot directly force anyone to do anything or refrain from doing something. Instead, what it does is provide a ruling on whether the relevant work or materials are code-compliant. If they are not code-compliant, then the Council could use the determination to insist on a design change, or a property owner could use it as evidence that the builder or designer has slipped up. In the latter case the owner would typically then follow up with a claim in the Disputes Tribunal, an application for an adjudication under the Construction Contracts Act, or Court proceedings.

In fact, the Building Act expressly says that if the issue in dispute is capable of being resolved by determination, then you are prohibited from commencing proceedings in the District or High Court unless and until you have obtained that determination. Presumably that is because it may well avoid the costly and timeconsuming process of litigation. However like most rules, it is possible to get around this one. In fact in one case (Minister of Education v. Higgs Construction Ltd) the construction company tried to get the Court case thrown out because no determination had been obtained, but the Associate Judge was having none of it, pointing out that the determination would have only resolved one of the issues, not all of them.

If, once a determination has been obtained, one of the parties then follows up with a Disputes Tribunal claim, an adjudication, or Court proceedings, then an interesting question arises as to whether the Tribunal, Adjudicator or Court is bound by what the MBIE determined. This is known as “issue estoppel” and is designed to prevent the same issues being re-litigated with all the attendant cost and delays, when it has already been conclusively and authoritatively resolved. The argument was run in the 2015 case of Weaver & Anderson v. HML Nominees Ltd. Although the High Court rejected the argument in that particular case, Justice Katz ruled that it was open to run the same argument in a more appropriate case.

STATE OF THE INDUSTRY

Reports from Branch Presidents August 2022

AUCKLAND / NORTHLAND

Auckland /Northland region are currently reporting a good amount of work and forward work, however there are still concerns where 2022 may end up, with infl ation, increasing interest rates. As a result of the current economic climate the Group home sector are reporting a slowing down of enquiries. In May we were finally able to hold our first face to face meeting for 12 months, which the AGM was incorporated into. We had a good turnout with the attraction of our guest speaker Robert Campion from the Window & Glass association talking and educating us about the new H1 Thermal Regulations, and the impact to our industry. Robert illustrating how timber joinery thermally outperforms Aluminium Joinery, which will give timber joinery an opportunity to grow its market share. The outbreak of Covid 19 and the Flu in the community is having huge impact on all our businesses, with high staff absentees due to catching the virus or having too self-isolate. Some companies are reporting 200 -300 production hours lost per month. This is only adding to staffi ng issues we are all facing, not been able to employ good trades people and general staff . There is a real need for more companies to take on apprentices to train. Hardware suppliers are now seeing some of the eff ects of the supply chain issues from parts of China having been in lock down aff ecting production. Along with long transportation times causing delays in products getting to New Zealand. We are not seeing any easing of the continuing price increases of materials, thus increasing the sales price of our products, putting the price outside the aff ordability of some customers. For the Kitchen industry scheduling has become one of their major problems, as the homes haven’t been ready in time for the install of the kitchens. The problems are arising from the supply of Gib, to plastering and painting and a whole raft of other trades that builders are trying to co-ordinate in a time of high demand and short supply. - Rob Pickup

CANTERBURY

Welcome to my first ‘State of the Industry’ report as the new president of the Canterbury Master Joiners. The region is extremely busy, both with workloads and everyone struggling with absent staff due to the fl u and The South Island has been hit hard with COVID. Supply issues seem to have crept up on us again, so forward planning is a must! We are still managing to have our monthly meetings, with a good turn out of members and associates. One of the major discussion points has been about how to deal with quoting a job and dealing with constant price increases from suppliers. There has also been talk around how long this busy period will carry on for? With Te Pae Christchurch Convention Centre having recently opened and Canterbury having fi nally got the ‘go ahead’ with the new Te Kaha Stadium, the local economy has a positive feel. Our social committee organised a quiz night in July and we had 55 people attend, which was a fabulous turn out. It was a great night for all who attended and I am sure the winning team loved their prize. Looking ahead, in August Blum are kindly hosting the CMJA Joinery and Design awards at their new showroom and the national Master Joiner conference in September is hosted in Blenheim. Good numbers are going up to conference from Canterbury this year, with a few fi rst timers which is awesome. The ‘break-out’ sessions were popular at the last conference in Hamilton and conference is always good time to catch up with others in the industry from around the country. With the days getting longer and more staff having been employed at work, I am looking forward to getting my weekends back and I know my wife is hoping we can go on a horse trek or local pub ride together soon. Our bees have wintered well so far and we are looking forward to a sweet harvest when the fl ow starts. - Paul Baker

CENTRAL

The Central Region held its yearly AGM on the 18th of May. We had a decent turn out with Members and also Associate Members attending. We celebrated the success of our Apprenticeship Initiative. In total over the past two years, we have seen 24 new apprentices join our industry across 13 of our members. Each of these apprentices was given a $500 Carters voucher to put towards a set of drills to start them on their path to success. I have been getting mixed information from builders. Some are still seeing a small decline in inquiries, while others are starting to see it pick up again. The common theme is that the fi rst home buyer clients have gone quiet. The clients that are looking to build are cashed up and know what they want. The renovation market is a little bit slower than it has been with people watching what they are spending money on. The second wave of covid along with winter bugs, has been taking its toll on the region. Our company looked at the numbers this week and we have lost 59 days of production in July alone due to staff being away sick. I know this is tough on the business, however we also need to make sure that we are checking in with our staff and making sure that they are coping. If someone doesn’t seem themselves – then take the time to ask the simple question ‘Are you ok?’ I know I have some staff members really struggling to get over illness and it is taking a toll on them mentally. Supporting your team is crucial. - Kristine Holmes

NELSON / MARLBOROUGH Summary

The industry is still very busy in the nelson Marlborough region. Workloads forward are in months, many of months. The problem is with materials supply, certainty of workfl ow readiness and staffi ng to achieve it. There is a real concern of a perfect storm late year in workloads, when materials supply may become easier and projects continue.

Workloads

Seems we have entered a new phase of confusion, there is buckets of work around but customers are unable to give accurate delivery times, we may as well guess on our own with many builders months out on planning times. We fear this December is going to be hell! Planning will be crucial. We notice some of the dates on the tenders date back to late 2021, so they have taken a while to get through the system to this stage which tells me there are delays throughout the pipeline.

Materials supply

Hardware not too big a problem now with many alternatives on the market, if one suppler has run out its now easy to switch. Imported timbers are getting harder to get and have increased in price signifi cantly, longer lengths are getting harder to get, one member said it might be easier to plant a tree … With Gib all over the news it’s clear that’s not sorted but steel reinforcing, steel for the roof, h3 timbers are all in short supply but nowhere near as bad as GIB. Builders now ordering materials before the dirt is even turned. There is alot of distrust with the suppliers.

Any shifts in the market

There seems to be an increase in commercial work in the pipeline (next 2 years) at the moment however domestic is certainly still strong especially alterations and additions

Staffi ng and training ... covid

Seems the fl u has well and truly overtaken covid as the reason staff are away, its ironic that many are

sicker with the fl u than covid. Staff movement seems to have settled down perhaps they feel a little less secure heading into what will be a changing market, possibly even a recession. To get it all done once the pipeline issues are sorted, we won’t have enough people to do it all.

Anything else in the headlights ...

25th December ... We are just starting to see some delays in payment where banks had changed the rules after the build had started. All be very aware at his stage of the cycle where the deposit of cash for the next house was paying for the fi nal payment of last house; and the next house is not there, a scenario we’ve all seen before. - Phil Agnew

OTAGO / SOUTHLAND

The Otago Southland region has continued to perform well during 2022. Across the region strong workloads and a steady supply of incoming work tend to be the common themes. There remains positive news on several fronts – apprentice numbers are strong, and the supply chain appears to be settling. Challenges remain with Gib aff ecting building progress and headwinds with Interest Rates and Infl ation lay fi rmly on the horizon. Winter will soon be giving way to spring, and we will be looking forward to the run home to Christmas already! Wow. Our AGM and mid-year dinner was a great success. Record numbers again and a wonderful night was had by all. Special mention to Christine Leith for organising. Following the AGM, we have a new VP in Kate Munro from B&M Joinery in Cromwell, and it is great to see so many new faces and younger members of staff come along and join in our MJ community. Long may that continue. I look forward to catching up with you all again soon. - Reuben Bogue

TARANAKI

Well, that time again to write another report, how the year fl ys past, it been a interesting eight months so far. Winter weather has set in, it seems to be more wet and windy days than sunny days, cooler temperatures. Most Taranaki joinery factory are busy, with some reporting high level of work. While others report that inquiries have slowed up, but generally things a still trucking along. With more jib available now it seems people are starting to get their projects back on track. This means that there will be more press on jib fi xers and plaster to get house ready to paint. Materials seems to more readily available, with most supply well stocked for the run into Christmas. General freight seems to better now and couriers seem to be getting back on track with their delivery. Most us have been struggling with staff being sick or of with covid which has brought it’s own challenges with workflow and cashflow. Again the same old thing; staff still seem to be the issue, with people moving between joinery factories. TMJ has spent time canvassing the career advisers at the mouthly meeting where we present what opportunity where available in our industries; which went very well. I don’t think they knew how many opportunities were available in the industries and the pathway that student could take. Let’s hope for more sunny days as we head to more warmer months and fi ne days. Be kind and stay safe. - Bryan Frank

WAIKATO / BOP REGION

The fantastic summer weather mentioned in our last report has been followed by one of the wettest winters on record adding a further complexity to building project management in the Waikato/BOP Region. Members’ work schedules continue to be challenged with regular delays on building projects. On a positive note though, the gib ‘crisis’ appears to be easing. Absenteeism due to covid and fl u and fi lling vacant positions seem to be the biggest challenges many of our Members are dealing with at the moment. Unsustainable workloads is a concern we must address to ensure we don’t lose more good people from our industry. The Panel Discussion at our recent AGM was well received by the Members. Our thanks again to Master Builders, BCITO and MJ for providing panellists to speak to the current challenges facing the building industry and provide insight on how the wider industry can work together to provide support and thrive together. Our Regional Committee is currently planning our Meeting/ Events schedule for the next 12 months, providing opportunities for our Members to unite again with ‘in-person’ events that will support our Member businesses in terms of sharing and learning. More details will be available at our next Member meeting and on the MJ website. First off the rank will be the Ken Monk Memorial Fishing Trip which we hope to reschedule for later this year. A social day out of our busy work lives to connect with like-minded people, share a few laughs and hopefully catch a few fi sh! Could be just the re-set we need before the Christmas rush. Until then, take care. Nga Mihi. - Cherie van der Poel

WELLINGTON

Finding the time to write these reports is more difficult than ever. The staffi ng issues and hold ups are taking their toll on many businesses with a lot needing to purchase extra storage. It seems companies are training low skilled people to fill the gap which is inundating the training providers. Sickness has also decimated timelines and increased waiting time on freight. But it’s not all doom and gloom, Companies have succeeded in applying to become accredited with immigration and borders are fi nally opening. This could very soon sort some of the issues out. There is some light at the end of the tunnel. The workload seems strong; moving forward, We’ll just keep chugging along. - Grant Smith

WAITAKI

The Waitaki area has been busy over the last few months with most members dealing with 2nd round of Covid 19 and staff absenteeism at work, the Flu is also having a large negative impact on production, despite all having good forward work members are having to manage work loads very carefully. Despite supply chain issues that are being endured nationally it would appear that the construction industries need for joinery pricing is still growing both residentially and commercially in our region. There are many opportunities for pricing that with the back end of the year fast approaching will be a very busy time for many. Finding good staff is proving to be an ongoing issue with many members working hard to source suitably motivated people to fi ll apprenticeship roles in their factories, however this will take some time to turn around. Material supply seems to be freeing up a bit for those who are organized but the continued cost increases seem to be coming in with monotonous regularity and required a bit of management with clients and their expectations. Quote validity periods are constantly being reviewed as you would expect due to material increases, but most if not all the members indicate that clients are generally paying on time with few outstanding debts held. In conclusion the members in the Waitaki area seem to be coping well leading up to this years Conference in Marlborough and all are planning in advance for the end of year rush which seems to appear earlier each year. We look forward to catching up with all those who are able to attend the Conference and plan to enjoy a couple of cold beers with you there. - Mark Albert

SCM turns seventy

a story of courage, brilliance and passion

SCM's Origins

The Group's history dates back to 1935, when Nicola Gemmani and Lanfranco Aureli, experts in mechanics and foundry work, started working together. In 1952, the fi rst woodworking machine was created, L'Invincibile, designed by the engineer, Giuseppe Gemmani, Nicola's son. This machine, which in the eyes of the founders had to be special, much simpler and more practical than those already on the market, managed to meet the needs of a market in the throes of a building boom and capable of every kind of furniture. SCM quickly created a complete range of woodworking machines that paved the way to conquering all the global markets.

In the 1960s, Adriano and Alfredo Aureli, Lanfranco's children, joined the founders. Together with Giuseppe Gemmani they led and expanded the company even further with the opening of directly controlled branches across the globe.

In 1976, SCM developed the fi rst machining centres and systems for solid wood windows and doors. In the mid-80s, they started acquiring well-known brands in different wood-working environments, that would consolidate the company's global leadership: Mahros for automation systems (1984), Minimax for woodworking (1985) and at the end of the '80s, Gabbiani, DMC and Morbidelli, leaders respectively in sizing, sanding and cnc panel machining centres. In 1992, the Routech brand, that marked the entry of SCM into the timber construction industry, and Stefani, an international pillar in edgebanding, were absorbed into the Group. In the years that followed, thanks to the development of other leading technologies and other acquisitions (Superfi ci in 2004, CPC and Sergiani in 2006, Celaschi in 2007), the Group further expanded its range to cover all the production requirements in the industry.

Customer Oriented Strategies

SCM proudly celebrates this prestigious 70-year goal of accompanying the customer through each of the processes linked to the world of panels, solid wood, timber construction and woodworking.

Luigi De Vito, Scm Division Director and Group General Manager has no doubts about their main objectives: "We aim to be even closer to our customers with highly personalised solutions, tailored to suit their specific requirements".

SCM is taking a further step in that direction to guarantee even more direct contact, from consulting and sales to after sales. De Vito continues: "To us, this means off ering continuous and more valid support to our customers; fully understanding and anticipating what they really need, as well as providing even more pro-active recommendations".

In order to achieve this, SCM is investing in the skills of its global team, on the technical, sales and after sales side, and the Group's training Campus centre is playing a key role in this.

Simultaneously, the Group is upping its digital transformation process on two levels: internally, renewing organisational and international models with the customer throughout the customer's journey, and at a level of the product and services off ered "to be even closer to their business needs and jointly study the best strategy for smart manufacturing".

For SCM, all this translates into digital and connected technologies designed for more efficient, sustainable factories; IoT systems that allow the customer to preserve and enhance their technologies throughout the entire life cycle; tools, such as the new My SCM portal, enabling a vast range of services to view, gather and analyse information on production performance in real time; a Service team that can deal more simply and eff ectively with cases, providing faster answers and "how to" solutions to guide customers in a knowledge sharing logic. The research and development investments are another pillar: "Not only do we set aside 7% of the Group's annual turnover for R&D - continues De Vito - but we can also rely on an Innovation team with multi-disciplinary skills that allow us to have an open, forward-thinking approach that goes beyond the specific applications of our sectors, once again to the full advantage of the customer".

The investment plan places sustainability in fi rst place both for internal processes as well as products and services, "to off er the customer solutions that reduce the space occupied in the factory, machining times and margins of error, and keep down costs linked to energy consumption and waste of resources and material".

In seventy years, SCM has managed to establish an increasingly more direct and capillary presence internationally. How do you keep a global team united? Once again, De Vito is in no doubt: "With a very strong team spirit; the same one that allows us

Giuseppe Gemmani and Lanfranco Aureli.

to continue along our growth path with a convergence of objectives that is not automatic, even in the most diffi cult times as has been the case in recent years during the pandemic. The centrality of the customer and a human as well as smart approach, are the values that guide us in our daily work in the industrial plants in Italy and the branches abroad. As well as this, we would like to continue to be open to collaboration and partnerships in every field (research, information technology, training, sales support, technical support, etc.) keeping customer value as our key goal".

Despite current uncertainties linked to the rising costs of raw materials and energy, SCM continues to invest even in its plants in Italy. "We are increasing the production capacity of our industrial sites that currently record an average production of 20 thousand machines per year. As well as expanding surface areas, we are carrying out modernisation work - like the work currently ongoing in Rimini - to achieve more eco-sustainable spaces congenial with our human resources. Another important driver is the digitalisation of our production lines, that sees the spread of lean processes and FCS (Factory Control System) control systems in the various plants, in line with Industry 4.0 requirements. The aim is to improve industrial organisation by enhancing integration of the factory with the IT systems”

Last but not least, investments in foreign sales branches as was the case with the renovated SCM North America branch in British Columbia (West Coast), in Canada and the opening of new branches in India and Turkey, to guarantee a more direct and capillary presence on strategic markets.

Stability, internationalisation, innovation and people: the values that have always been a part of SCM Group, as much today as in the past.

SCM Group

This year represents the 70th anniversary of the SCM Group, a global leader in machining technologies for an extensive range of materials and industrial components.

The Group stems from Scm's strategic vision that in 1952, saw the fi rst woodworking machine produced in Rimini, establishing from that moment onwards, a precise mission: to off er the widest range of woodworking solutions at international level.

Over time, the Group has developed technologies and taken over leading brands not only to complete all the processes involved in secondary woodworking but also in advanced materials, plastic, glass, metal and marble.

A long success story that has resulted in today's figures: €750 M turnover in 2021 (90% exported abroad), over 4,000 employees and a direct and capillary presence around the globe. It has been led from the outset by the Aureli and Gemmani families.

The SCM Group is represented in New Zealand by Auckland wood & panel machinery specialist Machines R Us.
