Building Consent Rules Have CHANGED!! 

My pleasure!

It's because of all the boxes that need to be ticked for earthquake and natural hazards... Honestly though, a lot of the consenting for stuff like adding a toilet to your house is pretty over the top.

I know but other countries have these boxes too but for a fraction of the price.@@insertphrasehere15

@@insertphrasehere15Everything is over the top in NZ.

Glad you enjoyed it

Welcome!

Cheers

@@Darrenholmes Why should you need consent for tiles, typical NZ bullshit.

its seperate from the house so its legal, as long as it doesnt touch

Not correct. It has to be it's own hight from a building or boundary

⁠@@steinhuysegems4608 The context is section one of the building act. The person above is correct in stating that the building must be its own height from another building and boundaries. If the local authorities require a larger set back, that must be met as part of the district planning rules, but does not affect the compliance with section one. The original poster is commenting on the new build not looking far enough away from the existing building to be permitted under section 1. In the case you mentioned, where a larger set back is required, you could apply for a resource consent to satisfy the district planning rules, however, the building still would not need building consent (as long as it satisfies section 1)

Your deck/component or assembly has failed to satisfy the provisions of the Building Code for durability under the act (Schedule 1, part 1.3(c)) which means it will require building consent to repair.

Or just slowly over time replace and mend?

Yep just fix but do it properly

@@joshjoannedooley2797 how can you make that statement without knowing how old the structure is?

Hey Never tackled one of these, I imagine it would be a lot of work

You could, but you would need a consent for drainage and water, or use tiny home solutions to resolve this

Thanks Beng - Clients are only getting their heads around it now and making enquiries about it, so from my point of view this is perfect timing

it's the exterior dimensions. where did you hear that it was the internal?

@@Niberspace that person is correct. Its internal dimension. It’s in section one. Check page 40. www.building.govt.nz/assets/Uploads/projects-and-consents/building-work-consent-not-required-guidance.pdf

Yes

he literally pointed you to the document

Correct

will be a nightmare 😂 reading the comments on this, proving there is so much false information and lack of understanding of compliance for a basic sleepout… I dread to think what a mess it will be with

😂😂 she would fit there perfectly

They rejected her in North Korea she was far to authoritarian for them

Question from Canada ! Why the wood is pink ? I suppose is a treatment
