Our Process & Commitment
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.
Our commitment
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
- Manage our risks through routine quality audits of partners and monitoring the frequency of auditing
- Provide ongoing open communications and feedback to partners
- Aim for continuous improvement by:
