Checking That You've Supplied a Quality Application
We're going to get tougher on making decisions to refuse applications that are not up to quality
- so you need to play your part to help us be able to make a decision
- and our job is to make a decision (ie grant, refuse or issue a RFI).
To help make processing of your consent more efficient, here are some tips
- provide the supporting documents in the requested order
- check ALL your information before submitting your application, in particular:
- correct owner and legal description details
- the right wind and earthquake zone
- your plans clearly show what is included in your application (eg tell us what buildings on the site plan are not part of your consent application)
- you have provided everything - specifications, percolation test, etc
- associated producer statement(s) have correct details on all the documentations that come with it.
A quality application means
- we don't have to spend unnecessary time hunting through your application to find a document,
- so you'll only be charged for time spent on processing of your consent,
- AND it will help get your consent faster!
