Edit an application

You can edit applications that are in the Draft state. You can change any information or selection on a draft application. You can edit limited content on a submitted application when responding to a request for more information.

Locked applications

When you start the submission process for an application, Objective Build locks the application to ensure the integrity of your application throughout the vetting and lodgement process. Locked applications have this status icon:

Responding to requests for further information

If the building consent authority (BCA) needs more information before it can lodge your application, BCA staff send you a vetting request for information (VRFI). You can edit most details of your application at this point, except the address or existing attached documents (you can attach a new document to your VRFI).

Amending consents

If you want to make changes to your consented building work, this is called an amendment. All amendments must be approved and recorded by the building BCA. See Amend a consent.

To edit an application

  1. Open the Dashboard or Projects page.

  2. Click on any application to open it. When editing an application in response to a VRFI, you can select the edit option.

  3. Change the information as required. Objective Build saves your changes as you navigate between steps using Back or Next.
