Record of Exemption Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Record of Exemption (ROE) and when do I need one?
A Record of Exemption is documentation for building work that qualifies for exemptions under Schedule 1 of the Building Act. You need an ROE for low-risk building activities that don't require formal building consent, such as commercial fitouts and alterations where no structural or design parameters are being changed.
What types of building work qualify for ROE exemptions?
ROE exemptions typically cover commercial fitouts, interior alterations, certain maintenance work, minor structural modifications, and other low-risk building activities specified in Schedule 1 of the Building Act. Each project is assessed individually to determine eligibility.
How does ProjectX help with Record of Exemption documentation?
ProjectX provides comprehensive ROE services including eligibility assessment, preparation of clear and accurate Records of Exemption, council liaison, compliance verification, and ongoing support to ensure all work is properly documented for regulatory requirements.
What are the benefits of using ROE instead of building consent?
ROE offers significant cost savings, faster project timelines, reduced regulatory burden, and streamlined approval processes for qualifying work. It eliminates the need for formal building consent while maintaining compliance and professional documentation standards.
How long does the ROE process take to complete?
ROE processing is typically much faster than building consent, usually taking up to 1 week depending on project complexity. Simple commercial fitouts may be completed within days, while more complex alterations require additional assessment and documentation time.
