Check if you need a consent
You will need to apply for a building consent if you're installing insulation in:
- an external wall
- an internal wall that is a fire separation wall.
You don't need a building consent or a resource consent for any other insulation projects.
Our tip
If you need help to determine if an internal wall is a fire separation wall,
contact us.
