The building consent process

As with the resource consent previously, this stage of the project is carried out by Forturo along with any other professional consultants (fire engineer, structural engineer etc), that may be required. But unlike other local architecture and design practices we do not stop at just the bare minimum to meet the building code or to just get the building consent approval and then chare additional fees for additional drawings. As part of the fixed fee structure we operate on we provide and include all the additional drawings and documentation required to actually be able to build your project - power, lighting, flooring, window / door schedules, kitchen joinery and so on all form part of the overall building consent application to council.

Once the building consent approval is through you then have all the documentation required to build your project. At this stage we will advise on the availability of Forturo build, other local builders and contractors, we will explain the tender process, forms of build contract, liability issues, project observation and so on - everything else you will need to know before you sign up with any building contracting company.
