STAGE 01 - Before you apply for a building warrant


Do I need to apply for a Building Warrant?
 


YES, If your work (or conversion) requires a building warrant then you need to know your responsibilities and which organisations you may wish to consult. Be aware that you cannot start any work or do a conversion until you have a building warrant.

If you are unsure about your responsibilities, you may choose someone else to act on your behalf (known as your agent). This person should be sufficiently experienced and qualified to help you through the building warrant process.

 


If you are unsure about your responsibilities, or the building standards procedures and technical requirements, you can appoint someone to act as an agent on your behalf.

This should be a suitable person, although
it is strongly recommended that you appoint a suitably qualified and experienced building professional, for example an architect, building surveyor or structural engineer, to advise you on the design of your proposed work and look after your interests on site as work progresses.
