Building

This section includes everything you need when building. Our Building team can help you with a range of building needs and requirements – if you have any questions, give them a call.

Apply for a building consent online

Recent weather events around the country may impact the availability of experts, engineers, and contractors to supply required information within consenting timeframes. Supply chain problems may also affect projects. If you're experiencing delays, or think this is likely, talk to us as soon as possible. We'll do everything we can to work with you in processing your application within these circumstances.
