Securing the right approvals is a critical first step in any construction project. At MD Projects, we take the stress out of the consent process by handling Resource Consents and Building Consents efficiently, ensuring your project complies with local council regulations and progresses smoothly.
Whether you’re planning a subdivision, new build, terrace homes, duplexes, or a large-scale development, we provide a comprehensive service that covers everything from design approvals to council submissions.
A Resource Consent is required when your proposed project does not meet the permitted activity standards under Auckland Council’s Unitary Plan. This typically applies to:
✔️ Subdivision of land into multiple lots
✔️ Building height and boundary adjustments
✔️ Land use changes (e.g., commercial to residential)
✔️ Stormwater & drainage connections
✔️ Earthworks & site preparation
A Building Consent ensures that the construction work complies with the New Zealand Building Code (NZBC). It is mandatory for:
✔️ New residential homes (standalone, terrace, duplex)
✔️ Structural renovations & extensions
✔️ Drainage, plumbing & foundation work
✔️ Retaining walls, driveways & accessways
At MD Projects, we manage both Resource and Building Consents so you can focus on your project while we handle the paperwork.
Before proceeding with any consent application, we conduct a detailed feasibility study, ensuring your project aligns with council regulations.
We prepare and submit comprehensive Resource Consent applications, including Planning reports, Site plans & elevations, Environmental impact assessments, Traffic & infrastructure reports, Auckland Council liaison
We handle all Building Consent documentation, including Architectural & structural plans, Engineering & geotechnical reports, Drainage & stormwater management plans, Council coordination & compliance checks
We liaise directly with Auckland Council, engineers, surveyors, and legal advisors to ensure faster approval times.
If changes are required during the project, we manage amendments and variations, ensuring compliance without delays.
