Build Up to 70m2 Without a Building Consent
The Building and Construction (Small Stand-alone Dwellings) Amendment Act 2025 came into force on 15 January 2026. Under this exemption, an eligible detached, self-contained dwelling of up to 70m2 can be built without a building consent and without a resource consent.
The consent process is replaced by a notification to the council before construction starts and again after it is completed.
Eligibility Checklist
- Maximum floor area of 70m2
- Detached, single storey, with no mezzanine floor or loft
- Maximum height of 4 metres
- Floor level no more than 1 metre above ground level
- Lightweight timber or steel framing
- Lightweight roof cladding
- At least 2 metres from any other building and from legal boundaries
- Designed and built by Licensed Building Practitioners, who must provide records of work
- Compliant wastewater, stormwater, potable water and electrical services
- A suitable building platform, free from natural hazards and drainage conflicts
- Compliance with the New Zealand Building Code and applicable planning rules
Every property must be assessed individually, and eligibility depends on meeting all applicable requirements.
The Government announced in April 2026 that it intends to widen the exemption to allow a broader range of building methods, with changes expected later in 2026.
Information current as at July 2026.
This exemption requires Licensed Building Practitioners to design and build the dwelling, so a homeowner cannot use this pathway alone. Best Contractors are Licensed Building Practitioners.
