Remote architectural and building consent support across New Zealand.
ArchSolutioNZ is locally accessible in Auckland and works with suitable projects across New Zealand through a digital-first architectural documentation and consent workflow. You do not need to be in Auckland to get clear direction, fixed-fee scoping and council-ready documentation.

Bottom line
You can work with ArchSolutioNZ from anywhere in New Zealand if the project suits a remote workflow.
Most consent-focused architectural work starts with information, not location. With photos, existing plans, council records, site measurements, video calls and consultant coordination, many projects can be reviewed and documented remotely before council lodgement.
How remote service works
A practical workflow for NZ-wide projects.
Remote architectural support works best when the project information is organised early. We help identify what can be reviewed digitally, what needs consultant input, and whether any local site work is required.
02
We check the pathway
We review the likely consent, CoA, feasibility, council support or consultant coordination pathway.
03
Information is filled in
If needed, we use site measurements, 3D scanning, local consultants, engineers or other specialists to complete the picture.
04
Documents are prepared
We prepare architectural documentation, coordinate supporting information and guide the project toward the agreed next step.
Service areas
Supporting suitable projects throughout New Zealand.

Remote-ready services
Many approval tasks can start before anyone visits site.
The first stage is usually understanding the scope, risks and documents required. That can often be done using the information you already have, supported by council records, site photos and digital coordination.
Building consent documentation
Drawings, specifications and consultant coordination can often be prepared remotely when sufficient site information is available.
Certificate of Acceptance support
CoA pathways often start with photos, records, scope definition, as-built information and consultant advice.
Council RFI responses
Existing plans, council questions and consultant information can be reviewed and coordinated digitally.
Feasibility and planning checks
Early pathway advice can often be provided using site information, project details, maps, records and photographs.
Honest limitations
Not every project should be handled fully remotely.
Some projects need physical site attendance, invasive investigation, local specialist inspection or a consultant based near the property. We will tell you if a remote workflow is not suitable for the scope.
A local visit or consultant may be needed when:
- •The existing building condition is uncertain or concealed.
- •Unconsented work needs physical inspection and evidence gathering.
- •Structural, geotechnical, drainage or fire input is required.
- •Site measurements or 3D scanning are needed before documentation.
- •Council or the project scope requires specific local verification.
Where to start
Choose the pathway that matches your project.
Nationwide support does not mean one generic service. Start with the service that best matches your current issue.
