No tablet, computer or smartphone?

If your building consent is for a new residential building or alteration, or if you are putting a new garage or shed on your property, you will, in most  cases, have hired someone to do the work for you.  This person can submit the Building Consent application on your behalf.

If your consent is not being handled by an agent and you do not have access to a computer yourself, internet and computer access is provided for free at your local library.
