Weathertightness remediation needs a consent

Building consent authorities and building owners are reminded that a building consent is always needed for repairs where a building (or one of its parts) has failed to satisfy the Building Code durability provisions (including, for example, through a failure to comply with the external moisture requirements). Only normal maintenance is exempt from this requirement.

Obtaining a building consent for weathertightness remediation will help ensure the work is done properly and a durable solution is achieved.
