Healthy Homes work, scoped and priced

The Healthy Homes Standards set minimum requirements for rental properties across heating, insulation, ventilation, moisture ingress and drainage, and draught stopping. Builders doing rental upgrades need to know what's required and price the work accurately.

Toolie's Healthy Homes check runs the regulations' own tests — the Schedule 2 heating formula (rounded up the way the official Tenancy Services tool rounds it, with that tool's default R-values), the NZS 4218 insulation zones, and the ventilation, moisture and draught rules with their exemptions — so you can see what fails, and why, before you scope and quote the fix.

Built on the regulations, not rules of thumb

The heating figure is the Schedule 2 formula from the Healthy Homes regulations. Insulation uses the NZS 4218 zones — zone 3 is the whole South Island, Taupō, Ruapehu, northern Rangitikei and the Chatham Islands. Exemptions such as pre-2016 ceiling insulation and pre-2019 fans are built in. When something fails, quote the fix in Toolie.

Common questions

Does Toolie cover the Healthy Homes Standards?

Yes — Toolie's Healthy Homes check covers heating, insulation, ventilation, moisture ingress and draught stopping, with zone R-values and deadlines in context so you can scope and price the work.

Is it for landlords or builders?

It's built for the builder doing rental upgrade work — it shows which standard fails and why, so you can scope and quote the fix. For the heating figure, the official Tenancy Services heating tool's result is the one the regulations presume correct.

Does it connect to the rest of Toolie?

It sits with Toolie's other calculators and pairs with the H1 R-value and insulation calculators. It doesn't save to a job yet — note the result, then quote the fix (insulation, heat pump, extractor fan) in Toolie.
