What is a Building Consent?

A Building Consent is approval to carry out building work and is issued by a Building Consent Authority (BCA) once detailed drawings and specifications have been checked to ensure that the proposal meets the requirements of the Building Code. A building consent is a legal document issued by a BCA in accordance with the Building Act 2004.

At this stage there are no private Building Consent Authorities, so the consent must be approved and issued by the Council.
