That's due to both local and national regulations, they say.
And now Hamilton City Council plans to remove a carrot for central city developments, Yeoman Homes may stop building CBD apartments, managing director Andrew Yeoman said.
Council plans to phase out a remission that effectively meant developers didn't have to pay development contributions on central-city projects.
"Red tape definitely adds $80,000 if not more to the cost of a house," Yeoman said. "But it's not all Hamilton City Council rules that make that up - a large amount of that is government regulations."

Schools in Hamilton face the same re-occurring problems when it comes to the issues around their school gates. Congestion, speed, poor parking and general bad driving behaviour seem to intensify out the front of school gates at drop off and pick up times across Hamilton.

Congestion, speed, poor parking and general bad driving behaviour seem to intensify out the front of school gates at drop off and pick up times across Hamilton.
Be a 3pm superhero and mix it up at school pick up. Why not try other transport options?
- Park down the road or around the corner away from the busy school gate
- Walk, bike and scooter at least once or twice a week
- Carpool with families in your area

Be aware, police have identified a new telephone scam targeting New Zealanders. If you receive an angry call from someone seeking compensation for car damages, hang up. To read more, click here.
What you need to know:
- The call will be from an international number that's then redirected through a local number.
- The aggressive scammer could be very convincing.
- Upon answering, they demand money for damages from a vehicle collision they claim you were involved in.
- Police are urging people to warn elderly relatives so they do not fall victim to the scam and lose money.
- If you receive a call of this nature, police advise you to hang up immediately.
