• All applications will are visible through a single logon, (even if lodged with different councils). You can also apply for Code Compliance Certificates (CCC), Certificates of Acceptance, Project Information Memorandums (PIM) and more.
• You can keep your team in the loop, by giving others access to view consents, track their status and be notified of relevant updates. You can also easily add and remove people to your organisation.
• You can track the status of a consent from start to finish and receive progress updates.
• Managing communications with councils is easy through Objective Build. You can receive and respond to Requests for Information (RFI’s) and upload any supporting information all in one single place, with the data instantly being sent to council when you hit submit.
• Collaboration tools are available to make different team members the primary owner for set stages (for example, the builder on site as the key contact for inspections), keeping everyone involved and informed.
• You can create Contact and Document Libraries, keeping all of your most common key contacts and consent templates in one place to save time.

These will continue to be processed using Council's previous system. This means you will not be able to see them in the Objective Build customer portal, and you will need to keep sending information via email to the Building Team at building@mackenzie.govt.nz.

For alternative arrangements, please contact Building team on 0800 685 8514 or email building@mackenzie.govt.nz.

When you are ready to lodge a building consent, open the Building Consent Application portal, create an account for yourself if required, using your name, email address and a secure password, then you are ready to go.

We will do a check to make sure that your application is complete and send you an email confirming that it is complete or advising of further information that is required.

Application fee invoices will be sent to the nominated person once vetting is complete. The application will not be processed as accepted until all fees owing have been paid, so please ensure that payment is made promptly when you receive your invoice.

For more information on payment options please contact the Customer Services team on 0800 685 8514.

Your application can be saved at any time so you do not loose your progress.

If you get stuck, save your progress, check out the video tutorials then return to your application.

Objective Build also has a help desk you can call which shows up when you are logged into the portal.

You will still need to call the building team to book an inspection on 0800 685 8514.

After each inspection, you will receive an Inspection Report via email. The inspection will also be uploaded into your customer portal to view any time.

Yes. Your agent can invite you as a user to the consent. If you have requested access and have not received it, call the building team on 0800 685 8514, and once we have confirmed your details, we will add you to the consent.

You’ll be able to see all the same information as your agent.
