Working out of the cost of your building consent
The cost of your building consent is based on:
- how complex your project is
- the overall value and type of work
- how many inspections you'll need.
Ways to keep costs down
- Have a technical or pre-application meeting with us to help you make informed decisions about your application.
- Make sure your application includes all the relevant information and reports so we can process it quickly and efficiently.
- Make sure you collect documents and certificates from your tradespeople while building work is under way.
