Farsight’s Next Milestone: BCA Registration Application Underway

We’ve formally submitted our application for BCA Registration—and we’re excited to confirm that it’s been accepted with processing well underway.

A Rigorous Yet Collaborative Process

The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) leads one of the most thorough and structured regulatory approval processes in the country. Every aspect of our BCA business systems, practices, and competencies will be reviewed in fine detail. This level of scrutiny is something we value deeply. It reflects the seriousness of the responsibility that comes with operating as a Building Consent Authority—and it ensures that all future BCAs meet the highest national standards.

With that said, MBIE’s approach is not only methodical, but also collaborative. We’re engaging closely with their team, supported by both our client and expert advisors, to proactively work through the remaining assessment stages.

What This Means for Farsight—and for New Zealand

Achieving BCA Registration will formalise Farsight’s role as a provider of independent, high-quality building regulatory services. Our BCA model remains focused on a single forward-thinking client—whose identity, for now, remains confidential—who shares our passion for raising compliance standards in the building industry.

This partnership represents more than just a business milestone. It’s an opportunity to help redefine how building compliance is delivered in Aotearoa: responsive, consistent, and grounded in technical excellence.

Acknowledging Our Team and Supporters

As always, none of this progress would be possible without the exceptional work of the Farsight team. Every step of this journey, from system development to expert assessments, has been powered by their diligence and shared belief in what we’re building together.

We also want to acknowledge the MBIE team for their professionalism and support throughout this process, as well as our client partners and external advisors whose insights continue to strengthen our approach.

Looking Ahead

While the BCA Registration process is still ongoing, we approach it with confidence, focus, and gratitude. We’re building something meaningful—not just for our client, but for the wider sector.

We look forward to sharing more updates as we progress through this next phase. Stay tuned.
