BRANZ REPORT: ER54 Connecting consenting systems and third party technology tools to improve performance and productivity (August 2020)
This research focused on finding ways to improve the integration of third-party technology as part of the building consent process, improving both the efficiency of the process but also improving information and knowledge about the quality of buildings.
We found five main areas where third-party technology could enhance the consenting process - use of BIM, automated code checking, digital product specification information, adoption of quality assurance tools and data sharing across BCAs and external agencies.
