Important changes to BIA website

The content previously available on the Building Industry Authority website (www.bia.govt.nz) is now located within the Department of Building and Housing website: www.dbh.govt.nz

How do I find the 'old BIA' information

Simply go to www.dbh.govt.nz and click on the link 'Building Controls' beneath the Department's logo.

This will take you to the Building Controls section of the Department's website.

You will notice that the layout and structure of Building Controls information is very similar to the layout of the BIA website. The aim is to minimise disruption to users who were familiar with the BIA site.

Content has been updated to reflect the fact that the BIA has been dissolved, and its building control functions transferred to the Department of Building and Housing.
