What is the Process?
Prepare documents.
Submit application to council, council then processes plans for planning, private drainage, file is returned to Dracon to check building code compliance, building, plumbing, private drainage, structural engineering, fire code. File is then sent back to Council for building consent issued.
What is the processing clock?
The New Zealand Building Act requires a Building Consent to be processed and issued within 20 live working days.
Council Clock
The statutory time frame (Council Clock) starts once the building consent has been accepted into the Councils processing system. At any stage during this process one of technical people can suspend the building consent by asking for further information. The processing clock is then suspended until the correct information is provided. The net live days taken to process the building consent is the time that makes up the legal requirement of 20 live working days.
What happens if you need further information?
During processing of your consent, we or council may require further information or revisions to the design. We will communicate this to you either by phone or email. Your consent will then be ‘suspended’ until such time as this information is received.
How long does it take?
The Building Act requires that Council issue the building consent within 20 working days. This does not include days that are counted as ‘suspended’.
How do I get an update on progress?
We will track the entire consent application process in real time.
How much will my building consent cost?
Fees for building consents vary dependent on the complexity and size of the project, and also between different councils. If you would like to get an estimate of the likely cost, then feel free to contact our office, and we will do our best to assist you.
How do I pick up my approved consent?
Upon notification of the approval of your building consent, you will be notified of the fees payable. Payment for these is to be forwarded to Dracon by cheque, made payable to the relevant council. Once payment is received your consent will delivered to you personally from our Consent Manager.
What happens next?
At certain points during construction, inspections will need to be undertaken by us to determine that the building is being constructed in accordance with the approved building consent. Those inspections will be nominated an approved building inspector to sign off compliance, however a rough rule of thumb is that if the work is to be covered up, then we will need to inspect it first.
What do I need for the inspection?
The approved plans, specifications and inspection record must remain on site at all times, and be available for all inspections. In the event that the plans are not available, we will not be able to complete the inspection.
When can I book a final inspection?
You will be ready for your final inspection once all the work covered by the building consent is completed.
How do I get my Code Compliance Certificate?
Once your final inspection has been approved, and upon receipt of the required documentation, we will lodge an application on your behalf to the relevant council. Once issued, we will forward to you.
