2 HOW TO APPLY FOR A BUILDING CONSENT 1. What is a Building Consent? A Building Consent is written authority from the Council to carry out building work that Council considers will comply with the Building Code providing it is constructed in accordance with the details submitted. 2. Who needs one? Anyone who wishes to carry out building work including any temporary or permanent, movable or immovable structure (including swimming pool fences) and its service connections requires a Building Consent. This also includes temporary structures such as marquees. Some work is exempt from requiring a Building Consent (refer to Schedule 1 of the Building Act 2004); however must still be constructed to comply with the New Zealand Building Code. 3. What is the Building Code? The New Zealand Building Code is the First Schedule of the Building Regulations 1992 that provides mandatory performance based measures (not quality measures) with which building work must comply. 4. Why do you need one? You are required to obtain a Building Consent to comply with the provisions of the Building Act When do you need to apply? An owner intending to carry out building work must, before the building work begins, apply for a Building Consent, or have their agent apply for on their behalf. It is wise to do this at least two months prior to undertaking the work to allow for processing time and for the provision of any additional information that may be required to be furnished. 6. Where do you apply? You need to lodge your Building Consent Application with the Building Consent Authority (BCA) at the Building Unit at Timaru District Council, located at 2 King George Place, Timaru. However, you may drop your application into the Geraldine or Temuka Service Centres for forwarding to the Building Unit. You may also lodge your application by post however it is preferred that you lodge it in person to the Timaru office where the Duty Building Officer may be able to give assistance and check the application for completeness. 7. Project Information Memorandum (PIM)/Planning Approval/Resource Consents Along with a building consent, the applicant may also decide to apply for a Project Information Memorandum (PIM). This may be sought prior to the Building Consent, which is often the wise option, or concurrently with a Building Consent. A PIM provides information about land and the requirements of other Acts that might be relevant to the proposed building work, including compliance with the District Plan, heritage status, the status and availability of services, etc. It may also advise Resource Consent requirements. More information on Resource Consents can be found on the Council website or at Council Office. You can also contact Timaru District Council Duty Planner on for clarification. If a Resource Consent is required, you are strongly advised to obtain this before seeking a Building Consent to avoid possible expensive changes to your proposal. Approval from Environment Canterbury Regional Council is required for any discharge to land from a stormwater or septic system. This may be Permitted Activity approval or it may require a Resource Consent - Discharge. Doc # Page 2 of 15 April 2013: Version 8:IS-000

3 8. Information Sheets / Application Forms / Information Processing Sheets Refer to the section giving a full list of the available Information Sheets, Application Forms and Information/Processing Sheets. You should obtain all those appropriate for your project. This section also includes a number of useful websites. The Application Form(s) will require the attachment of the appropriate Information/Processing Sheet(s). The better the information provided, the less it will cost to process your application. It is wise to employ a design professional to draw up your plans to ensure you submit the appropriate level of information. 9. What supporting information do you need to furnish? Information, sufficient to satisfy the Council that the proposed building work complies with the performance requirements of the Building Code, must be provided. If you are not familiar with the performance requirements of the Building Code you will more than likely require the services of a competent designer. Council has a series of information sheets, application forms and information/processing sheets to assist you. The information sheets are background information to assist you, but you MUST furnish the appropriate application form(s) and information/processing sheets, some of which are project specific. Each time you make application you must provide: Proof of Ownership in the form of a Rates Notice (which may be acceptable for internal alterations) in your name, or a Certificate of Title which is to be no more than three months old. If the Certificate of Title is not in your name you must also provide either: - An unconditional Sale and Purchase Agreement; or - If leasing the property, a copy of the Lease Agreement between yourself and the property owner. The Certificate of Title may hold information about the property such as notices made under the Resource Management Act which may affect your building project. A Certificate of Title is required for all new buildings and additions. A copy of the PIM if you applied for one prior to your Building Consent. Where applicable a copy of the Resource Consent previously obtained. Two Sets of Specifications and Drawings including the following as appropriate to the project: - Site Plan drawn to scale and indicating all features/distances on site. - Foundation Plan - dimensioned - clearly indicating all details of layout and materials. - Plumbing and Drainage Proposed Layout Plan. - Detailed Floor Plans for each level of the building. - A detailed Elevation for each face of the building. - Detailed Cross Sections through difficult areas of the building showing all relevant construction details. - Framing Details. - Roof Truss Design - this is often provided from the truss manufacturer. - Construction Details - with all materials, fixings etc. noted. - Written Specifications - Specifications should further define the building work including details of all materials to be used, finished, and equipment to be installed. These MUST be relevant to the project. - Bracing Design - including calculations, schedule and layout plans. Doc # Page 3 of 15 April 2013: Version 8:IS-000

4 - Ground Conditions Report - This will be either a report to show why it is assumed that the ground is good ground using Section 3 of NZS 3604:1999, or a specific ground assessment and foundation design by a suitably qualified and experienced engineer. - Engineers Details, Calculations and Producer Statement by Approved Producer Statement Provider - This will be required when any specific design has been carried out (eg steel beams). - Internal Waterproofing Details - including all wet areas and surface finishes. - Solid Fuel Heaters - Refer to separate Information Sheet, Application Form & Information/ Processing Sheet. - Sediment Control Management Plan - Site location will dictate whether this is required. - Alternative Solutions - If the proposal uses products or systems that are not covered in an Acceptable Solution of the Building Code, provide supporting current information including independent test results, case studies, expert opinion to demonstrate compliance, etc. Further Information - For new projects most/all of the above will be required, however depending on the specifics of your project more information may be necessary. If required, the Timaru District Council may request further information to support that provided which helps to indicate compliance with the New Zealand Building Code. Please consult the Council if you are undertaking a large project as the following items may also be required: Accessibility Plan. Emergency Services Plan. Compliance Schedule for specified systems. Design reports for Fire Safety, Air-Conditioning, Mechanical Ventilation etc. HOW AN APPLICATION FOR BUILDING CONSENT IS PROCESSED 10. The Approval Process You should lodge your application to Council, along with the appropriate application fee. The application will be initially vetted to see if there is sufficient information to fully process your application. If not, you will be required to provide further information before the application is accepted for processing. The Council is required to issue the Building Consent within a statutory 20 working day timeframe, once the consent has been accepted for processing. Within this period other areas of Council other than the Building department may assess the project for compliance with various legislative requirements such as the Timaru District Plan, Resource Management Act, Fire Service Act, Historic Places Act, Council Bylaws etc. These Departments are Planning; Water, Drainage and Trade Waste; Roading; Environmental Health and Dangerous Goods. This depends on the scope of the project. If you propose to undertake an internal alteration it would not be assessed by other Departments unless it was an Historic or Heritage Building. However, all new buildings/dwellings or building/dwelling extensions will require assessment by other departments. Should Council require further information the application will be suspended until that information is provided. A stop the clock system is used during the suspension to keep track of the 20 working day time period. Council may decide to refuse or grant the consent. Once the plans have been assessed and they do comply with the New Zealand Building Code, a PIM (if this has been applied for and not already issued) and an invoice are prepared. The stop the clock is actioned and is not lifted until the invoice has been paid for. When the invoice has been paid, the approved plans may be uplifted and the application for the building consent is issued. Work shall not proceed until the building consent and approved plans Doc # Page 4 of 15 April 2013: Version 8:IS-000

5 have been uplifted (and provided you are not awaiting a Resource Consent from either Timaru District Council or Environment Canterbury). 11. Restricted Building Work (RBW) Restricted Building Work is the design, construction and alteration of the primary structure and external moisture management systems of houses and small-medium apartment buildings. It is also the design of fire safety systems for small-medium apartments buildings. RBW can only be carried out or supervised by a Licensed Building Practitioner (LBP). Sections 45 and 30C of the Building Act require that any building consent application that incorporates design RBW must be accompanied by one or more Memoranda (Certificates of Design Work) depending on how many Licensed Building Practitioners have been involved in the building design. The Certificate of Design Work forms are available from the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment website or via a link on the Timaru District Council website. Refer to the Section Useful websites. The Memoranda (Certificates of Design Work) must be filled out using the prescribed form, be fully completed and signed. In the case of an application for a building consent that relates to RBW, state the name of each Licensed Building Practitioner who, as far as the applicant is aware at the time the application is made, will be involved in carrying out or supervising the RBW that is the subject of the application. If an application for a building consent is accompanied by plans and specifications that contain design work that is RBW, that design work must be carried out or supervised by one or more LBPs who are licensed to carry out or supervise that design work. The plans and specifications that contain the design RBW must be accompanied by the Memorandum (Certificate of Design Work) that states: a) that the design RBW complies with the Building Code; and b) whether waivers or modifications of the Building Code are required and, if so, what those waivers or modifications are. It is the responsibility of the design LBPs (including registered architects, or chartered professional engineers) to ensure that their Memoranda (Certificates of Design Work) cover all of the RBW they have designed. It is the responsibility of the owner to include all Memoranda (Certificates of Design Work) that collectively cover all of the RBW in the consent application. 12. Multi Proof Approvals The Multi Proof service is also known as a National Multiple-Use Approval. If you have a Multi Proof for a building design, you can build the design several times within one district or nationwide, subject to any approval conditions, without needing to have the whole design assessed by the BCA each time you apply for a building consent. A building consent is still required for a building with Multi Proof approval. The BCA is required to process the application within 10 working days instead of the usual statutory 20 working days. Examples of building types which may benefit from Multi Proof approval include, but are not limited to: Garages Sheds Farm buildings Modular units Retirement villages / units / house Tents / Marquees An application for a Multi Proof must include a Certificate of Work which states that any Restricted Building Work (RBW) in the Multi Proof design complies with the Building Code. An application for a building consent using a Multi Proof design will still need to have a separate Doc # Page 5 of 15 April 2013: Version 8:IS-000

6 Memoranda (Certificate of Design Work) included for any relevant site-specific parts of the design, and any customisations made to the Multi Proof design, if RBW is involved. 13. What is the Cost? The appropriate Application Fee is to be paid at the time of lodgment with the Council. This application fee is deducted from the final account which is invoiced at the time of granting of the Building Consent. The cost varies depending on the amount and type of work that is being carried out. Generally the cost of processing a Building Consent is time-based. The quality of the information provided at the time of application will affect the overall fees (ie low quality drawings and details will take longer to process, raising the cost). The fee you will pay for your Building Consent is made up of the following: 1. The Councils fee for processing the application includes the cost of administration, technical processing (assessing the plans), the projected number of inspections necessary and the assessment of the PIM (if supplied). 2. Building Research Association of New Zealand (BRANZ) Levy: Calculated at $1.00 per $1,000 of the project value not less than $20, Ministry of Building, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) Levy: Calculated at $2.01 per $1,000 of the project value not less than $20,444. There may also be additional fees if the application has other requirements such as a Compliance Schedule, Certificate for Public Use, Section 77 Certificate (building across two or more lots), etc. Amendments to the original application will incur additional fees. Refer to the current Schedule of Fees and Charges IS-101 which are reviewed annually; effective from 1 July each year. 14. Start Time - Lapsing Building Consents lapse if work does not commence within 12 months of the date of issue so you must have started work before that date or any further time as allowed by Council, ie an Application should have been approved for an Extension of Time. Refer to Section Extension of Time. HOW BUILDING WORK IS INSPECTED 15. Inspections/Documentation Required during Construction Period Each building consent is provided with an Inspection and Documentation Regime which outlines the inspections to be undertaken and documentation required to be provided. The building advisor will visit the site for each inspection to check compliance with the Building Consent and approved plans and specifications. A check sheet will be completed for each inspection. Typical inspections are: Siting/Footings Pre Pour Slab/Sub Floor Pre Line Foundations Pre Roof Final Building/Plumbing Inspections need to be booked with the Council and, as the demand is heavy, the more notice provided the more likely it is that you will get the time required. Inspections can be booked by phoning Customer Services at the Council on When you book you will need to Doc # Page 6 of 15 April 2013: Version 8:IS-000

7 provide the Building Consent number, the name and contact number of the person booking the inspection, the type of inspection, the address of the project and the name of the owner of the property. Any safety equipment required for the inspection such as scaffolding or ladders is expected to be provided on site at the time of inspection. A copy of the Building Consent and approved plans must be on site at all times. It is preferable that the owner or representative of the owner (ie builder, plumber etc.) is on site for each of the relevant inspections as applicable. Any non-compliant work advised by the Building Advisor must be rectified before proceeding to the next stage of construction or you could be liable for enforcement action. Please be aware that specific inspections may also be required to be undertaken by consultants, such as an engineer. These inspections are additional to those by Council. The owner or agent will be notified of the pass or fail of the inspection by telephone, fax, post, or in person but you can also check the outcome at any time by contacting Building Unit at the Council, Ph (03) During Restricted Building Work (RBW) Construction Section 87 of the Act states that before RBW commences under a building consent, the owner must give the Building Consent Authority written notice of the name of every Licensed Building Practitioner (LBP) who: is engaged to carry out, or supervise, the RBW under the building consent; and was not stated in the application for the building consent. Section 87 also states that after RBW commences, the owner must provide the Building Consent Authority with a written notice as soon as practicable if: an Licensed Building Practitioner ceases to be engaged to carry out or supervise RBW or another Licensed Building Practitioner is engaged to carry out or supervise the RBW. Section 88 provides that each Licensed Building Practitioner who carried out or supervises RBW must, on completion of that RBW: provide the owner, and the council for the district in which the RBW is situated, with a Memorandum (Record of Building Work) stating what RBW the Licensed Building Practitioner carried out or supervised. 17. Amendments/Variations to Building Consent After a Building Consent has been issued (and prior to the issue of a Code Compliance Certificate) no deviation or alteration from the original plans and specifications is permissible without the approval of the Council. A Building Advisor will be happy to discuss the changes with you when on-site and advise of the required documentation. Where the change is a minor variation, it may be discussed and agreed with a Building Advisor and updated documentation submitted. An amendment is where the change is more than a minor variation but does not include a change in the scope of the works. In this case an application for an amendment to the building consent must be made as if it were an application for a building consent. Doc # Page 7 of 15 April 2013: Version 8:IS-000

8 To apply for an amendment you will need to lodge appropriate drawings documenting the alterations (two copies) and fill out the appropriate application form (BA Form 2 Residential, or BA Form 2 Commercial and Complex Residential). You will be charged for this so it is important to ensure that the details you submit in your original application are correct. Once approved, you will receive the stamped amended plan back with an invoice for costs. Where you have not completed the work as per the approved building consent, including any approved variations/amendments, the Council will be unable to issue the Code Compliance Certificate. HOW BUILDING WORK IS CERTIFIED 18. Certifying Building Work To certify building work, the Council has to ensure that the building work has been completed as per the building consent, plans and specifications, and to meet the requirements of the New Zealand Building Code. To do this the Council ensures that: - building consent conditions have been met - all building work has been undertaken as per the building consent and requirements of the New Zealand Building Code (performance based, rather than quality based) - all completed documentation has been received such as gas and electrical energy certificate, drainage plan, surveyor s certificate - all records are complete - all inspections have been undertaken, passed and approved If it is a commercial building or a residential cable car attached to a building, there are additional requirements prior to the issue of the Code Compliance Certificate such as: - check whether all specified systems installed in the building are operational - issuing Compliance Schedules and Compliance Schedule Statements Council must also give regard to whether a building method or product to which a current warning or ban under Section 26(2) of the Building Act 2004 relates, has been used or applied in the building work to which the Code Compliance Certificate would relate. If the application for Building Consent application was made under the Building Act 1991, then the transitional provisions will apply, in that the building work must comply with the building code that applied at the time the consent was granted. Once an application for a Code Compliance Certificate (BA Form 6) has been received and the building work has been certified, the Building Consent can be put forward for an issue of the Code Compliance Certificate. Refer to the Section Code Compliance Certificate. 19. Specified Systems/Compliance Schedules/Compliance Schedule Statements A Compliance Schedule is a document listing the inspections, maintenance and reporting procedures for specified systems in a building (such as automatic fire sprinkler, fire alarms, lifts, air conditioning systems, evacuation systems, etc) to ensure their continued safety of operation. This also include residential cable cars attached to a building. This has to be issued before or with the Code Compliance Certificate. Doc # Page 8 of 15 April 2013: Version 8:IS-000

9 20. Code Compliance Certificate (CCC) Code Compliance Certificate considerations are pursuant to Section 94 and 436 of the Building Act An application for Code Compliance Certificate (BA Form 6) must be made as soon as practicable after the completion of ALL consented building work. This also includes all drainage and hard surfacing as indicated on the submitted plans. When the CCC application has been received, there is a statutory requirement for the BCA to issue the CCC within 20 working days. Should the Council require further information before the CCC can be issued, the application will be suspended until that information is provided. A stop the clock system is used during the suspension to keep track of the 20 working day time period for the processing of the application. Should no application for Code Compliance Certificate be made within two years of the date the building consent was granted, or any further period that may be agreed between the owner and the Council, the Council must decide whether or not to issue the CCC. We are therefore keen to hear from you if your construction is going to be held up for any reason. It may be necessary to complete an Application for an Extension of Time - refer to Section Extension of Time. In addition to satisfying the requirements, all fees, eg for additional inspections, amendments, development contributions, must be paid for prior to the issue of a Code Compliance Certificate. 21. Restricted Building Work and CCC Section 92 of the Building Act states that the owner/ccc applicant must include with a CCC application, any Memorandum (Record of Building Work) provided by LBPs. It is the responsibility of the trade LBPs to ensure their Memorandum (Record of Building Work) identifies all of the RBW that they have constructed/altered. It is the responsibility of the owner to include all records of work which collectively identify all the RBW in the CCC application. 22. Extension of Time If it looks like you will not be able to commence building within 12 months of the issuing of the consent or complete ALL works within the two year period, then you should make an Application for Extension of Time on Form PS-121. Information Sheet IS-118 Extension of Time is also available. Doc # Page 9 of 15 April 2013: Version 8:IS-000
