Project Information Memorandum
A Project Information Memorandum (PIM) is a Council report which provides information about land and the requirements of legislation that might be relevant to proposed building work.
You can choose to apply for this before lodging a building consent application so that you can anticipate any potential issues, or you can apply at the same time as your building consent.
A PIM is not mandatory, but for larger projects such as new houses, large alterations and new commercial or industrial buildings, you will find a PIM very useful in establishing the feasibility and design of the project.
Therefore, it's a good idea to obtain a PIM in the planning stages of larger projects.
