On buildWaikato you have quick and easy access to information regarding your building and consents requirements common across the five councils. Whether you are a home handyman, residential builder, property developer and commercial developer - buildWaikato is for you.
This information portal covers everything from 'Do I need a building consent and how do I get one?' to environmentally sustainable housing (Eco-design) and answers to those building questions.
