How long will it take to get a building consent?

Work cannot start until you have a granted building consent and any other necessary authorisations (such as resource consents).

You need to allow at least 20 working days to obtain a building consent when planning your project.

Note: If your project includes a National Multiple-Use Approval (MultiProof) certificate, or if it contains BuiltReady modular components, the time reduces to 10 working days.
