Who We Are
ALLWISE was founded in Wellington to bridge the gap between Healthy Homes legislation and practical property management. We build software that holds up — at the Tenancy Tribunal, in front of MBIE, and on every audit.
Evidence over opinion
Every claim backed by cryptographic proof.
Tenants first
Healthy homes protect tenants.
Open standards
NZS 4246, RTA 1986, Evidence Act 2006.
Why we built ALLWISE
Spreadsheets, Word docs, and disputed photos cost NZ landlords $5,800 per average claim. ALLWISE replaces that with a single automated statutory engine.
Legacy compliance stack
Spreadsheets
Editable, no chain of custody.
Disputed photos
EXIF stripped, no GPS.
Tribunal fines
Average awarded: $5,800.
Outcome: $5,800 average awarded damages. 94% of disputes lost on missing evidence.
ALLWISE statutory engine
Cryptographically sealed
SHA-256 hash at capture. RFC 3161.
Statutory math
BRANZ ALF 3.5 + Schedule 2 kW.
Court-defensible
Evidence Act 2006 ready.
Outcome: 12,000+ properties assessed. 100% first-pass council acceptance.
Three pillars of legal engineering
ALLWISE is built at the intersection of statutory law, building science, and cryptographic integrity. Each pillar is cited in every pack we deliver.
Residential Tenancies Act 1986 · Healthy Homes Standards Regulations 2019
Every audit starts with legislation. ALLWISE maps the 5 HHS standards to the exact s13A(3) penalty exposure, generating a statutory declaration that an adjudicator can verify cross-referenced against the Act.
NZS 4246:2016 — Energy efficiency — Installing bulk thermal insulation
Compliance is engineering, not paperwork. ALLWISE runs the Schedule 2 heating formula with BRANZ ALF 3.5 against the correct climate zone (1/2/3) — the same calculation an auditor or adjudicator verifies at hearing.
Evidence Act 2006, s33-35 · FIPS 180-4 SHA-256 · RFC 3161 timestamps
A photograph is not evidence. A photograph with EXIF GPS, azimuth, UTC timestamp, and SHA-256 cryptographic seal — sealed at the moment of capture — is evidence under s33 of the Evidence Act.
Legislative history
From the 1986 RTA through the 2019 HHS Regulations to the 2026 launch of NZ's first automated statutory compliance engine.
Residential Tenancies Act 1986 established
New Zealand Parliament enacts the RTA, giving every tenant a statutory right to a healthy, warm, dry home. Modern tenancies begin here.
Healthy Homes Standards Regulations enacted
Cabinet introduces specific minimum standards for heating, insulation, ventilation, moisture, and draughts. Compliance becomes a measurable engineering problem.
Stricter heating formulas + tighter enforcement
MBIE tightens the Schedule 2 heating formula with BRANZ ALF 3.5. Compliance deadline for private rentals brought forward to 1 July 2021.
First nationwide MBIE audit wave
Auditors begin issuing infringement notices. Standard checklists and Excel logs prove inadequate to defend at the Tenancy Tribunal.
Section 13A burden shifts to landlord
Adjudicators begin placing the evidentiary burden squarely on landlords. Statutory declarations without photo evidence are routinely struck out.
Tenancy Tribunal average claim: $5,800
Average awarded damages for failed section 13A claims cross $5,800. Maximum under s13A(3) confirmed at $7,200 per breach.
ALLWISE launches as NZ's first automated statutory compliance engine
Allwise Solutions Limited releases the first platform to combine NZS 4246 heating math, SHA-256 cryptographic seals, and Tenancy Services credential verification in a single 12-page tribunal-ready PDF.
ALLWISE v3.1 — MBIE-aligned regulatory release
Aligned with the latest MBIE updates. Public Document Inspector launched. 12,000+ properties assessed. 500+ contractors in the national network.
