 Applying for a Building ConsentA new guide has been released by the Department of Building and Housing explaining the issues to consider when applying for a building consent. It describes the minimum documentation that should be supplied with an application to demonstrate compliance with relevant clauses of the Building Code. It will be useful to building consent applicants – designers, builders, project managers and developers – as well as members of the construction industry, including product manufacturers, sub-contractors and technical service providers. Complete with sample drawings of site plans, foundation plans, floor plans, elevations, sections, and construction details, plus a design summary check sheet, this is a comprehensive guide to the building consent process. The guide is available at the Department of Building and Housing website or hard copies are available from councils.
