I’m trying to budget for a renovation project and not sure how much building consent will cost. I’ve heard it can vary a lot depending on the project. I want to understand: What is the typical cost range for consent in NZ? What factors increase the cost? Do engineering drawings add significantly to the price? Are there hidden costs like RFIs or delays? Trying to get a realistic idea before starting.
