Building Consents
Building Consent requirements
A commonly asked question is whether or not a Building Consent is required, particularly in the case of a re-roof where the replacement roof is 'like for like'.
Before you proceed with having a new roof installed, CHECK with your Local Building Consent Authority (Council / BCA) to ascertain requirements for a Building Consent. Seek advice and assistance with building consent requirements from your RANZ Member.
► New roofing on construction of a new dwelling or an extension being built on an existing dwelling WILL REQUIRE a Building Consent.
► Re-roofing of an existing dwelling MAY REQUIRE a Building Consent. Note: Building Consent requirements for like-for-like re-roofing may differ from council to council.
► A Building Consent MAY ALSO BE REQUIRED for other structural roofing work and decking.
