🏗️ Navigating Council Regulations: Building Consent Made Simple

Building your dream home should be exciting not confusing. But when it comes to council regulations and getting building consent, it can feel like a maze. That’s where we come in. At Marsden Homes, we’ve helped dozens of Kiwi families through this process. We make it easy and clear, so you can breathe easy and stay excited.

🧭 From Confusion to Confidence

Getting building consent can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be.

At Marsden Homes, we take care of the entire process for you. From preparing the right documents, to submitting plans, to working directly with your local council, we handle it all.

You don’t need to worry about what forms to fill out, what to include, or how to follow up. Our experienced team manages every step, so you can focus on the exciting parts of building your new home, while we take care of the paperwork behind the scenes.

In your client portal, you’ll be able to see when plans are submitted and when we expect to have building consent approval. Everything is transparent and updated in real-time.

We understand that building consent is just one of many steps in your journey, but it's a crucial one. Delays here can throw off your whole schedule, which is why we treat this stage with the attention it deserves.

🔑 What You Need to Know

✅ Building consent is required before construction starts
✅ Council rules vary depending on your location
✅ Missing details can cause delays, but we catch them before they happen
✅ It takes around 20 working days for building consents to be issued
✅ RFIs (Requests for Information) can extend this—unless handled quickly and professionally

We also factor council timelines into our project planning from the beginning. That way, your build timeline stays realistic and achievable.
