Building Consent Authority

Building Consent Authorities (BCAs) play an important role in the plumbing, gasfitting and drainlaying industry by checking buildings are safe and for New Zealanders to live in.

Consent issues

The Board don't deal with consent issues. To resolve consent only issues, that is the BCA's jurisdiction.

The Board can only investigate if there are issues with workmanship as well as consent issues.
