Do I need consent for a granny flat in New Zealand?
The NZ building-consent exemption is conditional: a new, standalone, single-storey dwelling up to 70m² must meet all exemption conditions and the Building Code, use the required licensed professionals and follow the council/PIM process. Resource-consent requirements are a separate check under the NES-DMRU and applicable local rules. Confirm both pathways for your site; 70m² alone is not an approval.
Browse 666 places across New Zealand, including every urban area and 402 rural settlements. Location guides separate general build questions from published supplier coverage.
The supplier must confirm coverage for your exact address, the final price and construction timing. Apex does not submit an enquiry for you.
