Lifemark™ for Building & Design
Building homes that make the mark.
Renovations and new home builds look set to be a booming growth market as the New Zealand population ages. It’s a great opportunity for builders, developers, designers and architects to enhance their industry expertise. But how do you ensure your company leads the way?
The Lifemark™ is awarded based on a set of simple, common sense design standards that make it safe and easy for people to continue living in their own homes as their needs change, i.e.as they get older, or even when they start a family.
For builders & designers, achieving the Lifemark™ helps give you the edge in a competitive marketplace - and it can help increase your business too.
Credible New Zealand Reseach.
For 83% of all new houses the cost of Lifetime Design features adds less than 0.2% of the total cost of building if included in the design phase.
