Building & Resource Consent
Resource Consents and Building Consents are required increasingly by New Zealand councils as a means of ensuring the land we build on, and how we build and design, is in a resilient and safe way for the future.

GEOTECH REPORT ENQUIRYBUILDING & RESOURCE CONSENT Questions
Building Consents consider the detailed design of the building; dams, bridges and other structures are not subject to Building Consent in New Zealand but do require other forms of review.
From a geotechnical perspective, Resource Consents consider the natural hazards to a project and the viability of successful conclusion.
The cost of a Geotech report will depend on the size of the project and the nature of the site and what needs to be assessed.
At RDCL our prices are generally $3,500 – $7,500 for a single house site.
Aside from ticking the box with your council and insurance company, Geotech Reports are about providing you with confidence in the ground beneath your feet.
The way we live and how we plan our cities, buildings, and homes for the future is constantly evolving, and the technology we have to identify future hazards has become much smarter.
Events like the Christchurch Earthquakes, subsequent liquefaction, Cyclone Gabrielle and associated floods and slips, all call on us to understand the land we are building on more deeply.
Geotech Reports, as part of building and resource consent process, are an important and insightful tool to answer this need.
