Structural design consent documentation – final draft
Building Consent Authorities (BCAs) in New Zealand receive applications from engineers with varying levels of experience and different design office practices. There are currently 67 BCAs, each with its own set of requirements. However, all of them must determine, based on reasonable grounds, that a building will meet the performance standards of the Building Code. Therefore, it’s crucial that the information submitted to BCAs is easy to understand and quick to review.
