Building Consent Applications, Checksheets, and Guides

This section updated 5 April 2005 with new forms required in accordance with the Building Act 2004

The Building Act 2004 ushered in new legislation to govern the building industry from 30 November 2004.

The new Building Act aims to improve control of, and encourage better practices in building design and construction. This means:

  • more clarity on the standards we expect buildings to meet
  • more guidance on how those standards can be met
  • more certainty that capable people are undertaking building design, construction and inspection
  • more scrutiny in the building consent and inspection process
  • better protection for homeowners through the introduction of mandatory warranties.

The Building Act 2004 repeals the Building Act 1991 and dissolved the Building Industry Authority, which regulated the building industry under the 1991 Act. Administration of the Building Act has shifted to a government department the Department of Building and Housing, which was established on 1 November 2004.

More information about the Building Act 2004 can be found at www.building.govt.nz. This site also provides a Consumer Guide (PDF 896Kb) which contains essential information about your rights and responsibilities as you build or renovate.
