Consents Management

Navigating Planning and Consent With Confidence

Frame Group helps clients manage both Building and Resource Consent processes as part of a well-integrated project delivery approach. Our goal is to identify consent requirements early, factor them into the design, and avoid delays or rework later in the process. We combine in-house capability with specialist planning partnerships to deliver a smooth and well-supported consent journey.

Planning ahead to keep your project moving.

Planning and Pre-Assessment

At the outset of a project, we work with trusted Planning Specialists to identify whether Resource Consent is likely to be required. We also draw on our in-house understanding of Building Consent requirements. This early planning insight allows us to shape solutions that are technically sound and consent-ready from the beginning.

Building Consent Management

Frame Group regularly prepares and submits Building Consent applications on behalf of clients. Our team manages Requests for Information (RFIs) and liaises with local authorities to help streamline the process and ensure timely approvals. Our detailed understanding of technical and design requirements allows us to prepare documentation that meets council expectations and minimises delays.

Resource Consent Support

Where Resource Consent is needed, we coordinate closely with external Planning Specialists to support the process from end to end. This includes preparing supporting material, responding to RFIs, and ensuring that all aspects of the proposed design align with planning outcomes and community expectations.
