Site work record checks
Before quoting or site work
For builders, project managers and site advisers who need title and plan context before quoting, scoping or coordinating work. These records support checks — they do not replace building, engineering, surveying or council advice.
Document ordering support — not professional advice.

Best treated as a support workflow, not a full build-readiness assessment.
Record of Title
Confirm site details. Check title details, current registered interests and the diagram attached to the title.
- ✓Current ownership
- ✓Title diagram
- ✓Registered interests
Cadastral Survey Plan
Check plan context. Use the survey plan when the work depends on lot layout, parcel context, plan references or boundary assumptions.
- ✓Plan reference
- ✓Parcel context
- ✓Boundary checks
Instruments (Documents)
Read restrictions before scope changes. Order instruments when an easement, covenant or consent notice could affect access, layout or build scope.
- ✓Easements & covenants
- ✓Consent notices
- ✓Registered documents
Use these records to support decisions before the file depends on assumptions. For legal, planning, lending, surveying, building or engineering conclusions, use the appropriate professional adviser.
What this page helps with
CertNZ document ordering workflow for Builders & site advisers, focused on title records, plans and registered documents that support due diligence.
What records are useful for builders & site advisers?
The most common starting point is a current Record of Title. Depending on the file, a survey plan, instrument document, owner search, guaranteed search or pre-purchase package may also be useful.
Is this professional advice?
No. CertNZ helps order property records. Legal, planning, lending, surveying, building and engineering conclusions should come from the appropriate professional adviser.
When should these records be ordered?
Order records before the decision depends on assumptions — for example before an offer, file review, planning check, site acquisition, quote, finance conversation or settlement step.
