This programme partners with industry professionals to fast track qualifying residential dwelling consents which are considered to have a low risk for Council receiving any claims.
Industry professional can be:
- designers and builders operating on their own, or
- building companies who apply for building consents with us.
Our aim is to:
- Speed up the consent process by standardising how information is presented to us
- Rely on experienced LBPs to comply with the Building Act and building code requirements by acknowledging the maturity of the Licensed Building Practitioner (LBP) scheme
- Help the building sector continue to thrive and support population growth in Selwyn by processing consents that meet the application criteria faster* than applications not part of this programme.
Benefits for you
- Time savings – we’ll focus on the higher risk elements of your application
- Cost savings over time if you continue to meet the criteria and expectations – see information under partner incentives
- We’ll identify you as an approved building partner on our website so customers can see who our partners are and select their designer/company on this basis if they want.
