Restricted Building Work

What is restricted building work?

Restricted building work is work that’s critical to make a home structurally sound and weathertight. Licensed Building Practitioners (LBPs) must do, or supervise this work.

The person applying for building consent is responsible for submitting the Memorandum (Certificate of Design Work) with their application. A designer must provide a Memorandum (Certificate of Design Work) to the building owner. This Memorandum (Certificate of Design Work) needs to be given to the council when applying for building consent.

Owner-builder exemption

Building work that is in the Restricted Building Work category must only be done by or under the supervision of Licensed Building Practitioners (LBP), unless you are using the Owner-Builder Exemption. Owner-builders must provide a statutory declaration with their building consent application.  Please refer to the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment's website for more information on the requirements for owner-builder exemptions.
