Answer

Under the Building Act 2004, homeowners are responsible for obtaining necessary approvals and ensuring that building work complies with the building code. Building professionals also have responsibilities under the Building Act 2004, including ensuring that all building products and building methods used in carrying out building work are used in a manner that complies with the building code, and that restricted building work is carried out or supervised in accordance with the requirements of the Building Act 2004.
