This determination considers the authority’s refusal to grant building consent for a house designed with modular units that are manufactured off-shore.  The design of the modular units was not supported by a MultiProof certificate at the time the application for building consent was made, but the authority maintained its refusal after a MultiProof certificate was issued.  The determination discusses the range of information available on which the authority could rely in making its decision.

This determination considers whether the authority was correct to refuse to grant an amendment to the building consent for the substitution of one roofing membrane product for another. This determination also considers whether this substitution would have constituted a minor variation to the building consent.

This determination is concerned with the compliance of discrete repairs proposed to the top levels of a multi-storey building. The determination considers whether the authority was correct to issue a building consent for that work, and whether the replacement of a related deck membrane was exempt from requiring a building consent.

This determination was sought by the building consent authority to reverse a code compliance certificate in order to address an administrative error. The authority had incorrectly issued the code compliance certificate specifically excluding an element of building work that had been approved in the building consent.

This determination considers the issue of three separate code compliance certificates, related to three different building consents, for building work to make various alterations and additions to an existing detached dwelling. All three building consents were issued under the Building Act 1991.

This determination considers if the building work complies with the Building Code that applied at the time the building consents were granted.
