Day 28: 10 June 2014 – The rainfall during the past 24 hours ending 8:00am was 28mm
(Above): This morning Bianca kindly collected the Building Consent from KCDC in Paraparaumu. You can imagine our surprise at the presentation. The complete set of documents are packed in a stiff wallet/folder, which is sponsored by a number of full-colour adverts.
(Above): Unlike anything I experienced with The City of Cape Town building department when we built at Strandweg and Hamerkop Road, the Kapiti Coast Council is extremely thorough, possibly to the point of becoming anal. The covering letter guides you through all the requirements, leaving no doubt as to your responsibilities.
(Above): All important points and amendments are printed on the appropriate documents in red, with some of them high-lighted in yellow print-marker. It is your responsibility to ensure that each and every inspection is done by the appropriate officials. They must make not two, not three, but guess how many…. Yes a dozen!
