This determination considers building work done without consent to an existing house: the building work included the replacement of insulation and external wall cladding, installation of jack trusses, and affixing cladding over an existing cladding. The determination discusses whether the building work was exempt from the need to obtain a building consent under Schedule 1 of the Building Act, the drafting of the notice to fix and the remedies, and whether a building consent authority can withdraw a notice to fix.

This determination considers completed remedial work to a house. The work was consented, but work that was intended to be done as an amendment to the consent was completed by the owner before the amendment was approved by the authority. The code compliance certificate issued by the authority excluded the amended work, which was regularised through the issue of a certificate of acceptance. The owner disputed the exclusion of the amended work from the code compliance certificate.

This determination is subject to appeal.

This determination considers an authority’s decision to issue a notice to fix for work it considered was building work carried out without a building consent when one was required.

The dispute centres on whether the work that was carried out is building work regulated under the Building Act and for which a notice to fix could be issued.

The determination also considers the form and content of the notice to fix.

This determination considers an authority’s decision to refuse to grant a discretionary exemption under clause 2 of Schedule 1 for building work to partially reclad a house. It also considers the application of clause 1 of Schedule 1 which allows general repairs, maintenance and replacement to be carried out without building consent.
