Building warrant of fitness (BWoF)

A building warrant of fitness (BWoF) is a statement from a building owner that the building’s life safety systems (called specified systems) have been maintained and checked for the previous 12 months.

If you’re a building owner, you’ll need to renew your BWoF every 12 months. 

Your BWoF must:

• be renewed annually on the anniversary of the compliance schedule issue date
• be supplied annually to us before the expiry of the previous BWoF
• be publicly displayed in the building in its up-to-date form. 

Find more information on getting a BWoF check out Build Waikato or contact us on building.unit@hcc.govt.nz or 07 838 6677.
