What is a concrete nib and how do they achieve satisfactory ground clearance on a reclad?

22/06/2026

Most people underestimate recladding costs by hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Why? Because it’s more than just replacing the exterior cladding. It's bringing the whole home up to today's code which includes:
- Design
- Council Consent
- Scaffolding & Shrinkwrap
- Carpentry labour & materials
- New Joinery
- The unknowns, e.g. rotten timber framing, client changes along the way, etc
- Minor variations due to design & council requirements

And in many cases, internal upgrades too - kitchen, bathrooms, etc.

If you’re considering a reclad, make sure you budget for the full picture.

Not all weather tightness issues are obvious. Early signs can show up long before serious damage appears — staining, swelling joinery, cracking, or moisture around windows. Leaving what starts as a potentially small concern can become a major repair if left too long. 🤯
