| 713007 | 2008-10-17 23:36:00 | This is a further post about building and such. :) now at what stage does one need a permit? as i am probably having too replace most large components and cabnitry in my bathroom as budget allows. if i rearange them do i need to inform anyone? council etc? or replace a wall? move a wall? where do i check for building permit things? can you push a wall out to edge of roof line with or with out a permit? dreams here of course. but never fails to think all options does it? :p beetle:illogical |

| 713008 | 2008-10-17 23:59:00 | This is from Wellington City Council website (building services) (a PDF (www.wellington.govt.nz)) Examples of work that do not require a building consent are: • a patio or deck at ground level • garden trellis less than two metres high • installing kitchen cupboards • a small garden pond less than 400mm in depth • home maintenance, for example replacing spouting or a piece of weatherboard. so you'll probably need permission for your modifications, probably best to go and ask your local council directly. |

| 713010 | 2008-10-18 00:38:00 | Basically anything structural requires a permit, as feer said best to see your local council consents division usually very helpful | gary67 (56) | ||
| 713011 | 2008-10-18 00:45:00 | The law in just being changed (relaxed) at the moment, you can or will be able to remove adjust walls etc without a permit as long as they are not load bearing. An outside wall is generally load bearing:thumbs: | Arnie (6624) | ||

| 713016 | 2008-10-18 04:01:00 | Hell yeah, Talk to the builder, and advise him you want to avoid permits if you can. Council would be the last people I would consult with, They sure as hell ain't there to help you. |
