We look at materials and design features that contribute to leaky buildings and some of the potential risks of leaky homes.

We look at problem areas and how to identify if your home or a home you are thinking of buying is at risk of being a leaky building.  If we do discover your home has problems with leaking and weather tightness, we look at the options available and discuss an appropriate course of action with you.

Code of Compliance

Building Consents

Generally speaking, most building work on your property requires a consent from the council. Once constructed, your project will also need a Code of Compliance Certificate to confirm that it was all built to plan. Any building work that has been completed without a consent can be retrospectively permitted with a Certificate of Acceptance application.

Acting as your agent and advocate, we can complete all the paperwork for you. With your sign off we then lodge your consent application with the Council. Any correspondence from the Council is then directed to us so we can keep your consent on track for approval.
