Yes, we take care of all the council consents and requirements.

Consent process

• We will draw up the plans, gather the required information and submit the Waikato yard building consent to council. 
• At the same time, we will also submit the building consent for your local council in the region where the home will be situated. (A building consent and code of compliance is required for each council).
• Once your build is underway, we manage all the council inspections during the build process to ensure everything passes the building code standard.
• A final inspection and code of compliance will be obtained once your home is completed and prior to transport.
• After your home arrives onsite, the drainage, power and water services are connected a final on-site inspection will need to be booked to obtain the on-site code of compliance. This is where you will play a part, as you will need to book this with council and supply your local contractors paperwork for the final inspection. (We are here to help with this). The cost of the final inspection as well as any on-site works will be at your cost and are not normally included in the contract.  

The site consent is used to show compliance in accordance with the local town plans, building rules and regulations and will include the required foundation, boundary setbacks, service connections and other relevant site conditions required by council.

Yes, your council may require a geotech report to determine the type of foundations needed and a siting report for location of build. Site works such as excavation, drainage and power mains connections will also need to be arranged for your site, but don't worry we guide you through all this process.
