NEW HOMES

The market is full of companies offering standard house plans which may or may not work for you or your site.  If you have a tricky site or have individual ideas about your requirements then a special design is for you, however an awareness of Council regulations, processes and specialists required, is essential.

 

The following are the main points to consider:

 

• Council Zoning
• Site Coverage
• Building Yards
• Maximum Building Heights
• Daylight Indicators
• Unitary Plan Rules
• Possible Topographic Survey
• Possible Geotechnical Report
• Possible Structural Engineering Design
• Possible Roof Truss Design
• Possible Public Drain location, CCTV report and Watercare Approval
• Possible Flood Assessment Report
• Possible Arborist Report

 

Due to New Homes comprising Restricted Building Works a Building Consent application will be required.

 

In some instances a Resource Consent Application may be required to ensure all Council Planning infringements are approved.
