KPI Inspections Monitoring – Quarterly update
MBIE is working to support Government objectives to reduce delays and ensure Building Consent Authorities (BCAs) deliver inspections within timeframes that support efficient and predictable building work.
On this page
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).
