In response to the New Zealand Government’s proposed initiative (June 2024) to make small dwellings easier to build, Transbuild has launched a range of architecturally designed, code-compliant up to 70 sqm homes — perfect for downsizing, family accommodation, or generating rental income.
The government’s proposal aims to:
- Allow one-storey, detached homes up to 70 sqm without resource consent (expected early 2026).
- Simplify the process for homeowners wanting to add flexible living or rental space.
- Reduce the regulatory burden and time for small-scale building projects.
Our range is designed to meet these new standards now – compliant, comfortable, and ready for delivery.

Choose from our architecturally designed floorplans, optimised for space, light, and liveability.

GUIDE TO 70SQM LEGISLATION
Understanding the 2026 Rule Change
The Government’s new 70 sqm exemption will make it easier to build – but it’s not in force yet. Until early 2026, standard building consent is still required. Even under the new rules, you must:
- Meet the Building Code
- Use licensed builders and trades
- Notify council and pay infrastructure charges
Transbuild already manages these steps for you, so there’s no need to wait.
QUALITY YOU CAN LIVE IN
Our granny flats are permanent homes, not temporary cabins or tiny homes.
Built by Licensed Building Practitioners in our purpose-built factory, finished to residential standards, and delivered ready for installation anywhere in the North Island.
