The resource consent process

Unlike the design process which was very much a team effort of client and Forturo, the resource consent process is fronted by Forturo with the back up of any additional professional consultants that may need to be engaged - the client takes up almost a back seat position but is fully informed and is kept up to date at all times. The resource consent documents are basically the developed design drawings with additional town planning information included. An assessment of effects on the environment report is written up, site visits, council meetings, negotiations with neighbours all form part of the scope of works covered for this stage of the project.

The resource management act can be an extremely complicated piece of legislation to work through and every project will require a different strategy. We will guide through the various council procedures and give good advice at every turn. The fact that we have a great working relationship with the individual members of the planning teams within various councils of the Wellington region and the fact that we have years of experience and knowledge with working within the RMA (resource management act), means that you are in very safe and reliable hands. The process although necessary will be concluded at its earliest natural point.

Once the resource consent is approved and in place you are then able to commence on the building consent process.
