Since the early 1990’s, building work has required a building consent (previously called a building permit) from your local council. On completion of the work undertaken as part of the building consent, a Code Compliance Certificate (CCC) should be obtained from the council. In our experience, homeowners have often believed that their building contractor or project manager would look after this paperwork. In many cases, it is only revealed years later that no CCC was obtained. We can help with the resolution of all your construction compliance and building consent issues in Wellington, including:
