Generally they are retired because they are knackered and tired.

Retired probably also means no LBP also.

try the website AskShareGive. i've seen a retired builder offer help on there.

A verandah up to 20 square metres does not require a building consent, therefore is not restricted building work. Often a LBP wouldn't be required to do this type of work.

Its not really as simple as that it depends on a number of other factors not just the area.

We have a retired builder work for us at times he is excellent and recommended by the building inspector, too far away obviously op but there could very well be one in your area too.

Hi, my husband just retired is a carpenter/builder since the age of about 15/16 now nearly 66years. Sitting around waiting for a Knee operation. He could definitely do with work as sitting around is not good, but I am afraid Op is too far away, as we live on the Shore.

I bet it is simple.
17Porches and verandas
Building work in connection with a porch or a veranda that??

B is potentially wrong. Verandas and decks over 3m high require engineered specific design and building consent.

Its not that simple honestly.
