Building inspection timeframes delayed

The Team from Kāpiti Coast District Council

Kia ora Kāpiti, our Building Inspections team has been the latest to be affected by COVID-19 and other illnesses.
This is traditionally already a busy time of the year for the team, and our ability to maintain prompt turnaround periods on building inspection requests has been affected, resulting in delays of possibly up to a week. These delays are also having a knock-on effect on other services such as pool inspections, which are typically booked a month in advance.
Please be patient while we deal with these capacity issues; if you have an inspection booked, please avoid cancelling on the day. Advance notice means we can reorganise and prioritise our workload.

We’re honouring building inspections that are already booked, and doing our best to accommodate everyone where we can, including responding to risk-based inspections as a priority.
