Fitz Consulting is an expert guide for navigating the complexities of Christchurch City Council requirements when upgrading commercial buildings. We offer extensive experience in council processes specific to Christchurch’s CBD and suburban areas. Our team is equipped with local knowledge to obtain essential documentation such as Certificates of Public Use, Certificates of Acceptance, and Code of Compliance Acceptance. We take a proactive approach to ensuring necessary compliance requirements during all due diligence periods, which saves our Christchurch clients time, money, and the frustration of navigating complex local government regulations.

Our Christchurch commercial renovation team has extensive experience managing Certificates of Public Use(CPU) for multi-tenant commercial buildings. We understand the complexities of maintaining business operations while renovations are underway in Christchurch’s commercial districts. Our approach includes:

  • Developing phased renovation plans that minimize disruption to existing tenants
  • Creating temporary access solutions that remain compliant with Christchurch City Council requirements
  • Implementing sound and dust containment systems to protect adjacent businesses
  • Scheduling major works during off-hours for tenant-occupied buildings
  • Coordinating with building managers and tenants to maintain clear communication throughout the renovation process
  • Filing all necessary CPU documentation with proper authorities to ensure continuous legal operation
  • Providing regular compliance updates to all stakeholders
As Christchurch commercial renovation specialists with experience dating back to the post-2010/2011 earthquake period, we have unique expertise in seismic strengthening and rebuilding. Our team is thoroughly familiar with Christchurch’s specific earthquake-related building codes and the New Building Standard (NBS) requirements. We work closely with structural engineers who understand the local geology and can recommend appropriate solutions for different areas of Christchurch, from the CBD to the suburbs. Our renovation approach always prioritizes structural integrity and safety while delivering spaces that are functional and aesthetically pleasing.

For commercial renovations in Christchurch’s high-traffic retail districts, we implement a carefully orchestrated approach to minimize business interruption:

  • Detailed pre-renovation planning with clear timelines and milestones
  • Temporary façade solutions that maintain your brand presence during renovations
  • After-hours work scheduling for particularly disruptive phases
  • Sectional renovation approaches that allow partial operation where possible
  • Clear signage and alternative access planning to maintain customer flow

Client Testimonial

"Following the 2010 earthquakes, our severely damaged commercial building needed a considerable amount of repair and upgrade. Working with Paul Fitzsimmons of Fitz Consulting Ltd was great. The project from my point of view ran really smoothly and I was really pleased with the final outcome. He dealt with the day-to-day running of the renovation and upgrade. There were variations and challenges at certain points of the project, and I have to say that Paul dealt with them efficiently, and with excellent communication throughout. I was really pleased with the service that Fitz Consulting gave us and I would be happy to recommend them to others or use them again."
