Schedule 1 Changes…

Did you know that there have been some recent updates to Schedule 1 of the Building Act.

MBIE have released guidance documents which outline some building projects that no longer need a building consent from 31 August 2020

Checkout the MBIE guidance documents HERE!

Please be aware that projects that no longer require building consent may still require resource consent or building consent for certain components of the project – always check with your industry professional if in doubt.

IQP & Producer Statements

Please Note: there have been some recent changes to the way we process your IQP and Producer Statement Author applications. The coordination of these applications has recently been handed over from Hamilton City Council to the team at the Waikato Building Consent Group, this means that all applications for these registers need to be submitted to the Waikato Building Consent Group.

To make this transition easier for you we have provided automated application forms below for your convenience, alternatively a PDF form is provided for each application type if this is your preferred method.
