Applying for a consent for commercial or industrial work is almost the same process as above, but remember that you may require a fire report/design and a compliance schedule. Further, if your building is going to be occupied, or one to which the public will have access during construction you will be required to apply for a Certificate of Public Use.
Building Warrants of Fitness
The Building Act 2004 sets out particular responsibilities for owners of commercial, istitutional, and industrial buildings. Such buildings are likely to require a compliance schedule and therefore display a building warrant of fitness.
Ensure that you have completed this checklist before arriving at Council for the vetting process of your application. (An appointment for vetting is encouraged and you can book by phoning (07) 350 0209 ext. 8661)
Changes to plans for building consents not yet issued can be simply provided to Council (in duplicate) showing the proposed changes.
Amendments to plans for building consents that have been issued must be accompanied by an Amendment Application Form (Form 117) along with two sets of all relevant documentation such as amended floor plans, bracing plans, site plans and manufacturer's specifications of any new products etc being introduced to the design.
All Amendments are subject to the vetting process, as above, so complete the Building Vetting Checklist and provide all documentation to Council for the submission and vetting process.
Appointments for vetting are encouraged and to book these please call (07) 350 0209 ext. 8661
