Project completion questions
Capture the date of completion and confirm the general classification. The system defaults your selections from your building consent to the form.
| Date of completion | Must be set to a date marking the completion of work on the project. Select the calendar button to select a date from the drop-down calendar, or enter a date using the date format yyyy-mm-dd, for example: 2023-07-01. |

People and roles questions
You can add people as participants to an application or consent to:
-
assign key roles in the process, such as agent, invoice payer, owner or owner contact
-
record a functional role in your building work, such as adding an architect, electrician or plumber
-
give them access to view, edit or manage the application, for example to upload required documents or to confirm information set on the application
When you add a person to an application with view or higher access levels and:
-
the person is an existing Objective Build user, the system notifies them they have been added to an application via the notification option set on their profile.
-
the person is not an Objective Build user, the system sends a notification by email. The person must register with Objective Build to access the application.
Locked applications
When you submit an application, Objective Build locks the application to prevent change while the building consent authority (BCA) checks your application. In this case, you can change the key agent, invoice payer, owner contact or owner roles only when there is an active vetting request for information (RFI), as the system unlocks the application for editing during the vetting RFI process.
Once the application is lodged and accepted by the building consent authority (BCA), you can modify participants and roles as required.
Access levels
| No access | Use to include participant details in applications without inviting them. They cannot view the application or consent and do not receive any notifications. |
| Read only | Applicants are notified when added and can look at all content on an application including uploaded files. They cannot edit content or delete files or submit applications or RFI responses. They do not receive other application notifications. |
| Edit | Applicants are notified when added and can view all content including uploaded files. They can modify content, including modifying RFI responses. However they cannot submit applications or RFI responses. |
| Manage | Applicants are notified when added. They can view and modify all content. They can manage participants. They can submit applications and RFI responses. |
Legal description questions
Provide details of ownership of the property and legal description of the land. The system defaults your selections from your building consent to the form.
|
Has the ownership changed from the building consent? |
If the owner of the property has changed from the building consent, then you must provide new proof of ownership. Select Yes to see the proof of ownership questions. If ownership has not changed, then you do not need to provide any ownership information. Select No (the default option). Note: |
| Proof of ownership | Questions indicate the type of evidence you will attach to your application to prove the ownership of the property. You must be able to show ALL the registered owners of the property. When uploading proof of ownership files, you must ensure the files are no more than 3 months old. Your BCA is likely to issue an RFI asking for more recent proof of ownership. If you load a file older than 3 months, the system displays a dialog listing the files that are too old, warning you of the likelihood of an RFI and asking you to either cancel or select to keep the file. |
| What type of proof of ownership are you providing? |
Please check with your BCA or council which other types of proof of ownership they accept. |
