DRAFTING & CONSENT SERVICES
Get your plans drawn up, approved by council and ready to be built
When do you need drafting services?
If the job involves structural work, external cladding, addition of services such as plumbing services or rewiring, then you need professional drafting (also spelt draughting - confusing we know) to make sure that your home remains structurally sound, weathertight and safe.
This involves our experienced team designing your new home or renovation to meet all current building code. We can produce drawings AND documentation for the Council Consent submission.
Why are Building Consents required?
A building consent is official Council permission for you to undertake a project that involves constructing, altering, demolishing or removing a building. It certifies that your project complies with the:
- Building Act 2004 and regulations – the main law on building work
- New Zealand Building Code – the performance standards for all building work, covering areas such as structural stability, fire safety, access, moisture control and durability.
We'll get you through the building consent process with a minimum of fuss
If you require a building consent, you will need a Licensed Building Practitioner (LBP) like James to draught up a set of plans and specifications for you. Because we are also fully familiar with the building code and council regulations, we can streamline the process by also preparing the building consent application on your behalf.
