Frequently Asked Questions
Under current New Zealand regulations, some standalone dwellings up to 70m² may be eligible to be constructed without a building consent, where strict conditions are met.
These conditions typically include:
Full compliance with the New Zealand Building Code
Simple design and construction (no complex structural or geotechnical features)
Work carried out or supervised by appropriately licensed professionals
Mandatory council notifications submitted before and after construction
Suitable site conditions, including access, ground conditions, and services
Eligibility is site-specific and design-dependent.
Not all properties or designs will qualify for consent exemption.
We guide you through this process carefully and transparently, assessing whether the exemption pathway is suitable for your site and ensuring all legal and technical obligations are met.
*If consent exemption is not appropriate, we manage the full building consent process on your behalf.
In many cases, resource consent may not be required for a qualifying upto 70sqm standalone dwelling.
