🏛️ IMPORTANT: DISTRICT PLANNING & LOCAL COUNCIL RULES

⚠️ Building consent exemption does NOT mean exemption from District Planning rules!

Even if this cabin does not require a building consent, it must still comply with your local Council's District Plan (Resource Management Act).

Before building or placing this cabin on your site, you are responsible for checking your local council regulations regarding:

• Boundary Setbacks: Distance required from legal side and rear boundaries (typically 1m or more).
• Height in Relation to Boundary: Recession plane angle requirements.
• Maximum Permitted Site Coverage: Total percentage of building footprint allowed on your lot.
• Specific Zones: Flooding zones, heritage overlays, or coastal hazard zones.

If the building breaches any of your local District Plan rules, a Resource Consent may still be required.

⚠️ DISCLAIMERS & RESPONSIBILITY:

• No LBP / Consent / Planning Services: We do not provide building consent documentation, resource consent applications, LBP design sign-offs, or council compliance certification. The owner is solely responsible for confirming site suitability and local council requirements.
• DIY / Builder Skill: This cabin may be built without an LBP builder. However, the owner or builder must have adequate trade knowledge to interpret drawings and construct correctly.
• Liability: 3D Maker Limited accepts no responsibility or liability for workmanship, construction quality, misinterpretation of drawings, council fines, or unconsented modifications made by the owner.
