Hi Josh, awesome crash course but probably a bit too quick. I'd like to know a bit more but obviously you covered most it more the design, and knowing what you want b4 setting out for the build. Would you have time to do a bit of an in depth as to the last part of your video?

Hey bro Josh, you mentioned remove council of liabilities if builder/owner did not build to the stated plan. I am aware that many "leaky" buildings especially those involving apartments where there is a body corporate have been embroiled in high court litigation because unscrupulous consultants and lawyers have advised that council is the ultimate defendant with deep pockets to pay for damages to a building "defects". May i have your comments on this.

hey josh! thanks for this video!
I'm planning to add an ensuite and a spare toilet to my house. I have drawn the new plan in scale with engineer notes, can I apply a building consent myself without an architectural designer?
