Everything you need to know about CCs (Code compliance, not the chips)
AI summary
A Code of Compliance Certificate (CCC) confirms building work meets the Building Code and matches its building consent. It's essential for anyone building, renovating, or buying a home in New Zealand.
After work is complete, you must apply to your local council for the CCC, providing documents like a Licensed Building Practitioner record of works. Buyers should be cautious of properties with unconsented work, as this can create issues with insurance and finance. Always check the LIM and consult a lawyer.
