The Consent Process
Simple. Streamlined.
At EzyConsents, we’ve designed our process to be smooth, efficient, and easy to follow so you can stay focused on the build while we take care of the paperwork.
What We Need From You
To get started, simply send us your project file, which typically includes (depending on the project):
Plans
Project specifications
H1 energy calculations
Bracing calculations
Truss Design & PS1
Certificate of design work
Wastewater system design
Geotechnical report
Structural Design & PS1
Files can be shared via Google Drive, Email, OneDrive, or Zipped Folder - whatever works best for you or your team.
Step-by-Step Breakdown
We acknowledge your file within 24 hours and clarify any missing details.
Once everything is received, we begin preparing your application for lodgement.
Within five business days, your application is submitted to council.
The 20-day statutory clock starts (the timeframe in which council must issue a consent decision - note the clock may pause if further information is requested).
The application is reviewed by a council building control officer, and once approved, the consent documents are issued.
For clients applying for resource consent, the steps remain essentially the same.
