zacabbey - I really think that all that is being fostered onto us by the DBH is just a load of ....
Councils have a part to play and unforturnatly they are falling on the side of caution. The requirement for addmnedments to the building consent are part of the Building Act 2002. Some stupid Goverment burecarct idea of a joke
It should be as it was - If it complies with the building code at time of building inspections and code compilance then its fine, as long as no substansial changes have been made.
This is why every New Zealand person involed in the building industry needs to have there say on licniceing, otherwise some completly stupid goverment burecarat will have their way with us.
I agree that we are getting more and more work to do on a plan, but nobody wants to pay extra.

Rick, I agree those trades doing the work should take resopnsabilty for that work. As designers we supply the intent and other people do the work. However sometimes we need to show how we intend for things to be done to comply with the building code. IMO Plates and nailing patterns, in general, are not one of those. Properly trained tradesman should know where to use a Joist Hanger, a bracket, fix braceing straps and bracing panels, what size pipe to use and how to vent the system, which wire is earth, phase and negative, etc
