Streamlining here we come
A new Simpli Centre of Excellence for Building Consent Authorities (BCAs) has been launched. This collaborative initiative aims to provide comprehensive support and resources nationwide, with the goal of streamlining the building consent process.
The Centre of Excellence is online and available to all. And it’s set to bring significant improvements to the construction industry and benefit the public as a whole.
This marks a significant milestone in the ongoing quest to achieve consistent building consent processes in Aotearoa.
With its comprehensive support, training programs, peer review services, and collaborative platform, the Centre aims to empower BCAs, enhance their capabilities, and promote a culture of continuous improvement.
The launch of the Simpli Centre of Excellence comes at a crucial time for the construction industry in New Zealand.
By streamlining consenting, BCAs can operate more efficiently, reduce delays and improve applicant turnaround times.
This will provide increased certainty for developers, contractors, and homeowners, enabling projects to progress smoothly and in a timely manner.
Moreover, the Centre's efforts to ensure consistency and compliance with building standards will enhance public safety, ensuring buildings meet the required regulations and are fit for purpose.
