Final Checks : Final Checks and code compliance

Final Checks

On final completion of the project the building inspector makes a final inspection and a "code of compliance certificate" is issued.

Your designer and/or project manager checks that everything has been done satisfactorily. If there are any defects, the project manager arranges to have them rectified.

Regular inspections, substitutions and variations. A "certified" building inspector carries out a number of inspections throughout the construction process to ensure work is carried out in accordance with the Building Code and the building consent issued.

If any variations or substitutions are made to your plans and specifications once a building consent has been granted, you may need to re-apply to the council to amend the consent before work can commence.
