CCC Document Checklist

A Code Compliance Certificate application is made when the building work under the building consent has been completed and the owner is asking council to issue the final sign-off.

• Confirm the consented building work is complete.
• Check that all required inspections have been booked and passed.
• Check that any council site instructions have been addressed.
• Check whether there are outstanding final items before lodging the CCC application.

Form 6 is the application for a Code Compliance Certificate. It records the basic consent, owner, agent and completion information council needs before making a CCC decision.

• Building consent number and the council or building consent authority that issued it.
• Owner details and evidence of ownership.
• Agent details and owner authorisation if someone applies on behalf of the owner.
• First point of contact for council communication.
• Date the building work was completed.
• Signature from the owner or authorised agent.

Council checks whether the required inspections and council matters have been dealt with before it can issue a CCC.

• All required inspections passed.
• Any extra inspections paid for, if applicable.
• Site instructions addressed.
• Notices to Fix addressed, if any were issued.
• Complaints, warnings, determinations or council matters addressed where relevant.
• Development contributions or council charges paid where applicable.

Records of Building Work are one of the most common CCC document issues. Form 6 asks for memoranda from licensed building practitioners stating what restricted building work they carried out or supervised.

• Collect Records of Building Work for foundations, subfloor framing, walls, roof, columns, beams and bracing where relevant.
• Check roof cladding, wall cladding and external moisture management system records where restricted building work applies.
• Make sure each record is complete, correctly filled out and signed by the correct LBP.
• Match each record to the right building consent and the actual work carried out.

The required certificates depend on the building consent. The goal is to prove that the completed work and installed systems match what was approved.

• Producer statements such as PS4 where required by the consent.
• Electrical and gas certificates where relevant.
• Waterproofing, cladding, glazing, insulation, smoke alarm or truss certificates where relevant.
• Pressure test records, as-laid drainage plans or plumbing and drainage documents where relevant.
• Other documents from personnel who carried out work, including plumbers, gasfitters, drainlayers or installers.

Some projects need final reports or specialist confirmations before council can be satisfied. Check what was required in the building consent and during inspections.

• Structural engineer reports, PS4, bracing confirmation, truss certificates or foundation evidence where required.
• Geotechnical, soil, H1 energy, fire, backflow or services information where relevant.
• As-built drainage plans, surveying evidence or specified systems evidence where required.
• Solar, heating, maintenance or compliance schedule information where relevant.

Before CCC, council checks whether changes made during construction were approved and recorded correctly.

• All amendments addressed and approved.
• All minor variations addressed and recorded.
• Relevant compliance schedule details attached, if specified systems are involved.
• Notices to Fix, warnings, complaints or determinations addressed where relevant.
• Current approved drawings match what was actually built.

Once the checklist is ready, submit Form 6 and the supporting documents. Council then reviews whether it can be satisfied that the work complies with the issued building consent.

• Submit Form 6 and attachments.
• Respond if council asks for missing documents or clarification.
• Provide any remaining certificates, reports, Records of Work or as-built information.
• If council is satisfied, the CCC can be issued.
• If unresolved matters remain, council may refuse or delay issue until they are rectified.
