RESOURCE CONSENT
At our design company, we take pride in overseeing a multitude of projects, equipped with the expertise to determine whether a Resource Consent is required for your home’s extension, renovation, or alteration.
Resource consents are essential when your home design intersects with planning rules, particularly in zones like Herne Bay, Ponsonby, Parnell, and Mount Eden in Auckland, where Heritage and Character preservation is paramount.
Our knowledge spans across the three new zones as of 18 August 2022:
- Terrace Housing and Apartment Buildings Zone (now allowing for buildings of six storeys or more)
- Mixed Housing Urban Zone (incorporating the new medium density standards)
- Low Density Residential Zone (limited height and density where some qualifying matters apply)
We’re well-versed in identifying common infringements related to height, boundary controls, building coverage, yard setbacks, outlook spaces, and impermeable areas.
Count on us to navigate the complexities of planning regulations, ensuring your project complies seamlessly while preserving the integrity of your architectural vision. From initial assessment to successful project completion, our team is committed to providing comprehensive support and expertise every step of the way.
Experience the peace of mind that comes with partnering with our drafting company. Contact us today to discuss your project requirements and let us guide you through the process of securing the necessary consents for your home transformation.
BUILDING CONSENT
The majority of projects will ultimately require a Building Consent. At Measure and Draw we provide efficiency and effective collaboration with a variety of external specialists (Engineers, Independent Inspectors, Planners, and Surveyors etc) in the detailing stage of an architectural design project. We have a rigorous peer review process of your home design in house where every building consent is thoroughly looked over by our Licensed Building Practitioners in-house and they help determine the best design solution for custom details, taking into consideration the buildability of the construction detail. Our timeframe for building consents to be submitted into council varies depending on the intensity of the architectural design project.
