Designing in Christchurch: what to know
- Christchurch land is mapped as Technical Category TC1, TC2 or TC3 for liquefaction, and the category decides your foundation type and cost. We look it up before foundations are drawn and brief the engineer where needed.
- The Port Hills bring slope, rockfall and retaining questions; flat sites can carry flood management overlays and minimum floor levels.
- The District Plan's residential rules set height, recession planes and outdoor living space, which we test from the first sketch.
