Making Building Consents faster and more transparent

Westland District Council Building Consent customers can apply for a consent through Objective Build from 8 May 2023, 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.

  • Objective has over 20 years of history working with councils across the world, and decades of experience in Building and Planning.
  • Get the most out of Objective Build with the help of these short videos, designed to teach you the fundamentals of the platform.

The support team can be reached on build.support@objective.com or 0800 024 508 and they are available Monday to Friday 8am to 6pm.
