In a bid to tackle the country’s housing shortage, the New Zealand government is looking to introduce new regulations that allow homeowners to build granny flats up to 60m2 without the need for resource or building consents.
With the proposed rules designed to make it easier for Kiwis to create affordable housing options on their own properties, EasyBuild have a range of suitable options for building when the new rules come into effect.

Benefits of building a Granny Flat, Secondary/Minor Dwelling, or any home, with EasyBuild
Fast build time, with no compromise on quality
Our partially prefabricated homes make the on-site build, of smaller homes in particular, go by in the blink of an eye. Gone are the days of lengthy on site delays – our homes are closed in with work able to be completed inside and outside in as little as two weeks, and finished on-site in just 10-12 weeks.
Low risk with MBIE MultiProof Approval on all designs
All of our designs have MBIE MultiProof approval – which means in essence, the house design itself is pre-consented, so you can rest assured the home you build will be safe, secure and top quality.
If you can walk there, we can build there!
Unlike traditional transportable homes, our partially prefabricated modular system means if you can walk to site, we can build on it. With secondary dwellings and granny flats, we understand that access to the back of a site can be tricky – EasyBuild has you covered.
Standard new build finance on full builds
Because our homes are completed on site, lenders offer standard new build finance, which makes it much easier to get your ducks in a row and get started on your new build.
