Building a home in New Zealand comes with one big question: how much will it really cost? In this video, I speak with Quantity Surveyor Nick Clements from YourQS to break down the key factors driving NZ building costs. We cover the impact of labour and materials, why house size and design complexity matter, common myths about tendering, and how better collaboration can keep your project on track. As an architectural designer, I want homeowners to have clear, trustworthy information to guide their building journey. Watch the full discussion here.
