All building work regardless of whether a building consent is required, must comply with the New Zealand Building Code.

Undertaking building work without a building consent (when one is required) is an offence.

To create an accurate record of improvements and renovations, you can include exempt building work on a property file. This is helpful if you wish to sell a property.
