Changes to Building Consent online applications
Soon customers will be able to apply for a consent through Objective Build, a new service designed to create consistency, transparency, and quality in building applications.
This new system has been built after interviews with over a hundred builders, architects, designers, and industry professionals across New Zealand to ensure it meets their needs. It improves the ability to reuse information across applications, clearly see the status of an application, action required updates, and manage a consent throughout the lifecycle.
The online platform is the first release of Objective Build, which aims to create a complete consenting system for New Zealand. The platform will connect seamlessly to backend council systems, allowing New Zealand to work across a single platform. Building and Construction industry professionals will have one account to handle all applications, instead of the multiple accounts they currently have.
Getting Started with Objective Build
To minimise any disruptions to you, WDC Building Control staff will work toward migrating all active consents (CCC not yet issued) into the new system. Once this has been completed, users will receive an email asking them to register for Objective Build.
Applications will be available in Objective Build soon. Until this time, consents should be submitted through the online consent portal AlphaOne.
Objective Build has lots of new features including updated status tracking, organisation management, template applications and more. You can find out more here and here.
