BWOF essentials
What is a Building Warrant of Fitness?
A BWOF confirms that a building's specified systems have been inspected and maintained in line with its compliance schedule over the previous 12 months.
Building owners must renew, sign, issue, and publicly display the BWOF every year. Prestige helps coordinate the inspections, documentation, and Council submission so the process stays controlled and timely.

Questions owners ask
BWOF and IQP basics, without the fog.
How often does a BWOF need to be renewed?
A BWOF needs to be renewed every 12 months. It confirms the building's specified systems have been inspected and maintained as required by the compliance schedule.
What is a Form 12A?
A Form 12A is the certificate issued by an IQP for specified systems. The BWOF must be supported by the relevant 12A certificates.
Can Prestige deal with Council?
Yes. Prestige liaises with Auckland Council and other territorial authorities on BWOF-related matters, submissions, and compliance-schedule questions.
What happens if remedial work is needed?
Prestige can help coordinate maintenance and remedial works through the appropriate specialists, then track the evidence needed for compliance records.
