Certificate of Acceptance

Tohu Whakaaetanga

If building work has been done without a building consent, you can apply for a Certificate of Acceptance (CoA).

A CoA is not a retrospective building consent. It will only cover completed work that building control officers can assess based upon the information provided with the applicatio. In some cases, inspections will also be required.

A CoA does offer a way to authorise work that was done without a consent, but the protection it offers is not as complete as that offered by a building consent and this may impact your ability to get insurance.

How to Apply

To apply for a CoA you will need to:

  • Complete the CoA application form in Objective Build
  • Include a copy of plans, this should include a ‘before’ and ‘after’ floor plan.
  • Attach photographs of works during construction
  • Provide specifications including the extent of works and method of construction
  • Justification for the CoA
