Building Warrant of Fitness Management

The Building Warrant of Fitness (BWOF) process requires building owners to ensure all specified systems are inspected, maintained, and documented annually. BC Group manages this entire process on your behalf.

We coordinate with your IQP contractors, collect all required reports and Form 12A certificates, and submit your annual BWOF documentation to the local council — accurately and on time, every time.

What we manage for you:

  • Compliance schedule management and monitoring
  • IQP contractor coordination and subcontracting
  • Collection of annual reports and Form 12A certificates
  • Annual BWOF certificate issuance
  • Submission of documentation to local councils
  • Ongoing communication with building owners

Building Owner Obligations

Under the Building Act 2004, building owners must:

  • Obtain and display a compliance schedule
  • Engage qualified IQPs for inspections
  • Collect Form 12A inspection certificates
  • Submit annual BWOF documentation to council
  • Display the BWOF in a public area of the building

BC Group handles all of this for you.
