Our process

We will:

  • Identify qualifying consents via PPP added in the notes field at application and cross reference our register of partners
  • Check at loading and vetting that the legal allotment aligns with councils’ files and rate records
  • Allocate qualifying building consents to experienced processors
  • Use prepopulated entries to most of the checklist at vetting and processing to:
    • reduce time and effort put into processing your application
    • ensure appropriate inspection prompts are created
  • Make a decision to grant by focussing our review of your documentation on:
    • site specific constraints including site loadings (wind, snow, earthquake) and site fill, and
    • suitability of foundation design, and
    • identification and review of high risk cladding junctions, high span structural elements or specific engineered design (SED) elements
  • Stamp your documentation in the expected order you provided at submission
  • Audit a sample of your PPP applications every 6 months at a minimum to:
    • Check you continue to meet the programme criteria and expectations
    • Your applications meet the PPP criteria
    • Provide you with feedback and guidance to make the partnership effective.

We will:

  • Follow our process outlined above to help fast track building consents that meet the partnership programme criteria
  • Keep invoicing, inspection and certification unchanged
