On all our signed quotations we state that we
will do the necessary drawings to the NZS 3604 and the New Zealand
Building Codes to obtain a Building Consent, provided there are no
planning issues preventing this.
Many lots or sections have
building clauses attached to them. It is the responsibility of the owner
to find out what these restrictions are.
We can be asked to find out all this information and then it
becomes part of the agreement between the client and Advanced CAD.
Prior to Advanced CAD.
commencing particular jobs, we ask the client to sign a quotation
and give us a copy together with a commitment deposit of 25% of the value
of the work to be carried out.
In our
estimation forms we specify that we will supply PDF copies of all the
drawings and specifications. It then becomes the responsibility of the
client to make enough copies of the drawings (our drawings are mostly A3
paper size) and specifications to submit to the Engineer, Council and the
builders. When the plans are all completed we assist the client to fill
in the application for Building Consent form.
We can
however undertake the full consent submission for our clients at an
additional fee.
PAYMENT:
Full payment is to be made prior to the handover of the plans.
