Need to know if your living space meets the natural light requirements of G7 - Natural Light?

We’re seeing more projects where living spaces are being designed without enough consideration for the G7 requirements, especially when it comes to natural light and awareness of the outside.

At C3 Building Compliance, we can assess your project and provide a G7 assessment and report to help confirm compliance with the NZ Building Code.

Got a project that needs checking? Get in touch... we can help! 🏡☀️

Our third quarterly catch-up of the year 🗓️

This catch-up was all about the next stage for C3BC, with plenty of discussion around the team, upcoming work, and where we can continue to grow.

We discussed how Justin’s recent qualification as a suitably qualified OSET professional will add even more capability and knowledge to the business. We also looked ahead to the busy months coming up, with building consents, Certificates of Acceptance (COAs), and H1 energy efficiency reports becoming an increasingly important part of what we do.

It’s great to see more people looking at ways to bring existing building work into compliance through COAs, while others are looking to make their homes more comfortable, healthier and energy efficient through better H1 solutions. 🏡🌱

A productive catch-up, some great conversations, and plenty to look forward to as we head into a busy period!

⭐ Client Feedback Series ⭐

Nothing means more to us than hearing from satisfied clients, and C3BC would love to highlight some of the positives in our industry!

Thank you to everyone who has trusted us with their projects and taken the time to share their experience. Here's what one of our clients had to say...

Applying for a building consent?
A few simple checks upfront can save a lot of time, RFIs, and unnecessary delays later in the process 👇

Top 5 Things to Double Check Before Submitting Your Consent Application:

🏔️ Natural Hazard Assessments
Make sure any required natural hazard information or reports are included and aligned with the proposal.

📄 Doubling Up on Documents
Submitting duplicate files can slow the process down and make important information harder to find.

🧱 Geotechnical Engineer Plan Review
If the geotechnical report requires a final review of the consent plans, ensure this has been completed and documented.

🔍 Readable & Searchable Documents
OCR/searchable PDFs help processors quickly locate specifications and details without manually searching through hundreds of pages.

📚 Alternative Solutions
Any alternative solution should be clearly supported with reasoning, calculations, specifications, or expert documentation. compliance shouldn’t have to be assumed.

Getting the small things right upfront helps keep the consent process smoother for everyone involved ✔️

Some of the best conversations I’ve had lately haven’t been in meetings, networking events, or behind a screen.

They’ve been sitting across the table from people who have been through more.
People who think long-term.
People who have seen industries change, businesses grow, markets shift and still stay level-headed through it all.

The construction, property, and business world is moving fast right now and I’m realising there’s a lot of value in slowing down and learning from good operators with real experience.

So, here’s an open invite from us.

If you’re based around the Bay of Plenty or Waikato and enjoy talking business, construction, life, opportunities, lessons learned, or simply sharing perspective over a coffee, breakfast, lunch, b**r, or w**e... reach out.

No agenda.
No sales pitch.
Just genuine conversations with good people.

Pool compliance can be confusing - and that’s exactly why we’re here.

We often see pools fail compliance due to things like:
• Climbable objects placed too close to fencing
• Gates opening towards the pool area
• Trees and plants creating climbing points
• Incorrect heights or gaps

These small design details can have big safety consequences. Our role is to help you identify them early, guide you through the requirements, and make compliance simple and stress‑free.

Safe pools. Protected kids. Peace of mind. ✅
Because pool safety isn’t optional... it’s lifesaving. 💛

Backing local.

Bianca and Sophie have just graduated from Toi Ohomai and are now part of our team.

That’s 3 (maybe 4 😅) team members we’ve brought through the same local polytech.

Not by chance.
We back local people.
We build local pathways.

Because the future of our industry isn’t imported — it’s grown.

Proud of them both 👏

Back together for our first quarterly catch‑up of the year ✅
A great reminder of the people behind the work and what we can achieve together! It was a valuable chance to reconnect, share ideas, and look ahead to what’s coming, with plenty of good conversation along the way.
A strong start to the year, great chats (and a few laughs), and a team ready to make the most of the year ahead!
