Building Consent

Removal of a load bearing wall and installation of a lamenated beam to support load over the opening.

When the council came to do the final inspection, he saw the wall was missing and failed it as it needed to be on the building consent and an ammendment made to the house plan.

The builder was not aware that removing a wall had to go through the building consent process.

Building consent had to be re-submitted for the removal of the wall, house plans had to be ammended and an engineers report filed to ensure that the beam could support the load bearing on it.
