Design Plans are the basic starting point for all buildings. They are done in a typical builder's plan format and include full compliance with the NZ Building Code, NZS3604 and any District Plan requirements.
On their own, they are suitable for experienced builders to do material take-offs and build the complete building.
They are provided in A3 format but read well as A4.
All plans on website can be Custom designed to client's exact requirements.

Building Inspection

If Building is to have a Building Consent, following the sequence of instructions will ensure that all details for each stage of building inspection will be compliant.

Resource Consents are generally required where a buildings design or position on site varies from what general Building Code allows or what local Distririct Plan rules might allow.

This includes:

We deal directly with council right through the consenting process.
This is an important aspect of Building and Resource Consents as modern processing tends to have RFIs (requests for more information) on a regular basis.
