Residential Application

The Building Act 2004 can be complex especially when considered with other legalisation.  We are here to help you through the building consent process.

We recommend that you engage an experienced professional (e.g. an architect or draughtsperson) to help with design work, drawings, specifications and documentation before applying for a building consent.
