What drives the price
Size, kit versus custom, slab and consent, doors and lining. Under 10 m² is the simple exemption; from 10 to 30 m² there is still no consent, but the exemption requires the work to be done or supervised by a Licensed Building Practitioner, or a kitset design reviewed by a Chartered Professional Engineer. Over 30 m², or anything plumbed, needs a building consent.
