Building Inspections
The role of Council’s building inspectors
Council building officers and building certifiers check for compliance with the building code and consented documents. This is about safeguarding health and safety.
The Building Act 2004 is not concerned with the appearance of completed building work, contractual matters between the owner and building, or protecting capital investment.
Inspections only cover finish and quality when code compliance may be affected.
What information do I need to book an inspection?
when you make your booking, you will need to supply the following information:
- Your building consent number
- The site location/address
