How ConsentHub Works for You
From Application to Approval — Simplified
Preparing a building consent application can be complex. Multiple documents, drawings, certificates and supporting information must be assembled correctly before a council can begin assessing an application. Incomplete or poorly structured submissions often lead to delays and Requests for Information (RFIs).
ConsentHub helps applicants prepare complete and well-structured building consent applications before submission to a Building Consent Authority (BCA). The platform guides builders, architects, designers and property owners through a structured workflow that organises project information, supporting documents and regulatory requirements into a clear consent package ready for council review.
ConsentHub also includes AI-assisted validation that reviews application data and documents to identify missing information or potential compliance issues before submission. By preparing applications correctly from the outset, ConsentHub helps reduce delays and improve the efficiency of the consent process for both applicants and councils.

The ConsentHub Process
Start your application online
Users begin by entering basic project details including the property address, type of building work and key project information. ConsentHub uses this information to guide the application workflow and determine what documents will be required.
Upload plans and supporting documents
Applicants upload plans, drawings, specifications, certificates and other supporting documentation required for the consent application. ConsentHub organises these materials into a structured digital application package.
AI-assisted validation
ConsentHub analyses application data and documents to identify missing information, inconsistencies or potential compliance issues before the application is submitted. This early validation helps reduce incomplete applications and minimise delays caused by Requests for Information.
Prepare the consent submission package
Once all required information has been provided, ConsentHub assembles the application into a clearly structured consent package suitable for council review. Documents are organised and formatted to match the expectations of Building Consent Authorities.
Track application progress
Applicants can monitor the status of their application and maintain a clear record of documentation, submissions and council responses throughout the consent process.
Governance and audit trail
All document uploads, application updates and submission events are recorded to provide a transparent audit trail throughout the consent process.
For Architects and Designers
Architects and designers play a central role in the building consent process. The quality and structure of the documentation prepared at the design stage has a direct impact on how efficiently a consent application can be assessed by a Building Consent Authority (BCA).
ConsentHub is designed to support architects and designers by helping organise project documentation, drawings, specifications and supporting information into a clear and structured consent application package.
By providing a guided workflow for assembling consent documentation, ConsentHub helps reduce the risk of incomplete submissions and assists design professionals in preparing applications that are easier for councils to review.
Supporting the Design-to-Consent Workflow
Preparing a building consent submission often requires coordinating multiple sources of information including architectural drawings, engineering documentation, specifications, certificates and regulatory references.
ConsentHub provides a centralised environment where this information can be organised and prepared as part of a structured consent application.
This allows architects and designers to manage documentation more efficiently while ensuring that all required materials are assembled before submission to council.
AI-Assisted Documentation Review
ConsentHub includes AI-assisted validation that helps review application information and supporting documents during the preparation process.
The platform analyses application data and document structure to identify potential gaps in information, missing documentation, or inconsistencies that may lead to Requests for Information from councils.
This early feedback helps design professionals refine and complete consent documentation before submission, reducing delays and improving the quality of applications.
Better Structured Consent Submissions
Building consent applications often contain large volumes of documentation that must be presented in a clear and logical format for council assessment.
ConsentHub helps organise plans, reports and supporting material into a structured digital consent package that aligns with the expectations of Building Consent Authorities.
This improves the clarity of submissions and can make the assessment process more efficient for council reviewers.
Collaboration with Project Teams
ConsentHub supports collaboration between the various participants involved in a building project.
Architects, designers, builders and property owners can contribute information and documentation within a single application environment, helping ensure that all required information is captured before the application is submitted.
This collaborative workflow helps reduce misunderstandings and improves the overall preparation of consent documentation.
Supporting Efficient Consent Outcomes
By assisting architects and designers in preparing well-structured consent applications, ConsentHub helps improve the quality of submissions received by councils.
Better prepared applications can reduce delays, minimise Requests for Information, and support a smoother consenting process across the construction sector.
