In New Zealand, the need for a building consent for re-roofing depends on the scope and complexity of the work. If the re-roofing involves more than simple replacement and includes alterations to the roof structure, such as changes to the pitch or additions, then building consent may be required.
However, if the re-roofing is like-for-like replacement without any structural changes, it may not require building consent. It is best to talk to your Roof Buddy consultant about whether you need a building consent for your home.
Keep in mind that even if building consent is not required for the re-roofing itself, the roof still needs to comply with the New Zealand Building Code. We provide an independent quality check after the installation is complete to make sure that you comply with both the building code and manufacturers recommendations so your warranty is valid.
