Requirements for building consent applications An owner wishing to undertake building work will require a building consent to do that work if it is not contained in Schedule 1 of the Building Act 2004 (Building work exempt from the requirement of a building consent). There is one other area in the Building Act where a building consent is not required and that is section 41 where work is required to be undertaken urgently. In that case a certificate of acceptance must be applied for as soon as practicable after the building work has been completed. To obtain a building consent the owner will need to apply for a building consent at the BCA that is responsible for the area where the building work will take place. This will usually be a council responsible for its district or city. Applications for building consents are made on Form 2 of the Building (Forms) Regulations 2004. Form 2 is duplicated below.
