Using this website
You are welcome to read, share and link to this website. Please do not misuse the site, try to interrupt it, or copy large parts of it as your own work.
The information on this site is general. It is not a substitute for advice tailored to your building, project, organisation or legal situation.
Working with us
When you book a consultation or request a service, we will confirm the scope, timing, fees and deliverables before paid work begins.
Clear information from you helps us give better advice. This may include drawings, policies, photos, access concerns, staff needs or project goals.
Fees and payment
Fees will be agreed in writing before work starts. Invoices are payable by the due date shown on the invoice unless we agree something different in writing.
If a project changes or extra work is requested, we will discuss the change before adding extra fees.
Reports, documents and recommendations
Reports, training materials and recommendations are prepared for the client and purpose agreed at the start of the work.
You may use the materials for your own organisation. Please ask before sharing them widely, editing them heavily, or using them for another project.
Limitation
We take care with our work and aim to provide practical, well reasoned advice. Final decisions, approvals, building work, policy adoption and implementation remain with the client and any relevant professional, consent or regulatory bodies.
Nothing in these terms limits rights that cannot be limited under New Zealand law.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms when our services or legal requirements change. The latest version will be published on this page.
