Requirements
The general requirements for a Building Consent for Commercial Premises are the same as for any Building Consent. However, if you are planning to do building work on industrial or commercial premises there are some extra requirements that would not normally apply to a private building or dwelling. Council must be satisfied that any proposed alterations or new building work meets requirements for factors such as:
- access and facilities for persons with disabilities
- fire safety
- signs
- change of use
- structural design
- earthquake resistance
- lift requirements
- hazardous substances / dangerous goods
