• are considering applying to become certified under the scheme
• want to understand how the consent process works with certified manufacturers.

BuiltReady Scheme Guidance

The BuiltReady Scheme Guidance is for building consent authorities, scheme participants, manufacturers, designers, builders and consumers.

The guidance helps understand how BuiltReady allows for faster, more consistent building consent approaches for the design (where applicable) and manufacture of modular components.

Certification is the first step in becoming a BuiltReady scheme participant.

Once a manufacturer has been certified by an accredited and registered certification body, they can apply to the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) to be registered.

This resource outlines the registration process which is an assessment undertaken by MBIE of the non-technical suitability of applicants for registration. The registration process includes two main assessments:

1. The fit and proper person assessment.
2. The adequate means assessment.
