Have a Complaint?
Complaints with regard to ComplyNZ's level of service should, in the first instance, be forwarded to the BCA with whom your consent is lodged.
If you do not want to discuss this with your BCA, complaints can be made to the company Accreditation Manager who will decide on further action to be taken in regard to the complaint. If the outcome is deemed unsatisfactory by the complainant, the matter will be escalated to the ComplyNZ Managing Director.
All formal complaints must be received in writing either by sending them to us via post to the address below, emailing the Accreditation Manager, or completing our online form. Our complaints policy can be downloaded here.
Our standard response time is to provide you an acknowledgment within two working days and a response in ten working days. However, if the issue needs more time, we will let you know and keep you updated.
For complaints being sent via the post, please send them to the following address;
Accreditation Manager
ComplyNZ Ltd.
PO Box 23
Woodend, 7641
What else can I do?
Where the complaint is with regards to a Council’s decision with respect to building work and you do not agree with the outcome, you may apply to MBIE for a determination. Visit www.building.govt.nz for further information.
Determinations
When you can’t agree with a council’s decision about building work, a determination can help you solve the problem. They are sometimes for when a council has failed to act or refused to make a decision.
While you may have already asked MBIE for an opinion or advice about the same question, a determination is different because MBIE takes a detailed look at the specific matter and makes a legally binding decision.
The law that covers determinations is set out in the Building Act 2004 (sections 176 - 190).
