KPI Inspections Monitoring – Quarterly update

This report expands monitoring of the building consent system by introducing new data from Q3 2025 on inspection wait times reported by BCAs. Where wait-time data is unavailable, inspection availability will be reported instead. These metrics will be published quarterly. Timeframes for inspection wait times are a key indicator of building consent system performance.

Starting 22 August 2025, regulation 7A of the BCA Regulations 2006 Act requires a minimum of 80% of inspections to be carried out within 3 working days after the date for the inspection is requested. In this report, this new requirement is referred to as the Key Performance Indicator (KPI).

Revisions:

• September 2025, Timaru District council updated data for the quarter and our reporting has been revised accordingly.
• March 2026, a correction was made to the reported same day inspection availability measure.
