What should I do if I need to change my building work?

•  Minor Variations are minor changes from the consented building design and/or scope of work which can be approved on site.

This is a minor modification, addition, or variation to a building consent that does not deviate significantly from the plans and specifications to which the building consent relates

• Amendment is a proposed major variation to a Building Consent. It uses the same form as Building Consent applications (Form 2)

An amendment requires details and documentation supporting the proposed changes. These must show how the changes comply with the Building Code. Examples include technical and manufacturers specifications and plans. A full set of plans with any changes clouded needs to be lodged.
