Welcome Thank you for participating in this survey for the National Building Consent System Programme (NBCS). The NBCS programme aims to deliver consistent, effective, and efficient building consent processes that will enhance the productivity of the construction sector, reduce the regulatory compliance costs for owners, develop a highly skilled workforce that is aligned to the future operating model, and establish an effective monitoring framework/platform. The responses that you provide are an essential input to the information we are gathering on the current system. All of the questions require a response before the survey can submitted. Some of the questions may require you to gather specific information related to the 2013 calendar year. We accept that you may not have information systems that specifically capture the data required, and in these instances, we are relying on your knowledge and experience to provide an estimate. To help you with navigating, there are a few things to be aware of: - You may save the survey and come back to it later when you have the information. Simply click on the Save and continue button. You will be emailed a link to enable you to continue completing the survey from the point at which the survey was last saved. Once a question has been answered, you cannot go back to it.
- The survey will be sent to the NBCS programme team within MBIE once all the questions have been completed and you have clicked the Submit button, which is at the end of the survey.
- We estimate that it will take approximately 1 hour to complete the questionnaire. The survey may be completed any time between 14-30 April 2014
Your survey responses are strictly confidential. If you have any questions about this survey, you can contact the NBCS programme at: [email protected]. A member of the team will reply by email or phone call to your query. Thank you very much for your time in completing this survey.
