About

ArchSolutioNZ (operating under Hidalgo Architects Limited) is a consent-focused architectural practice dedicated to navigating New Zealand’s complex building consent and regulatory landscape. Founded and directed by Alejandro Hidalgo Uzqueda (NZ Registered Architect No. 6195), we provide homeowners, property developers, and business owners with clear, technical, and council-ready architectural documentation.

Unlike traditional design-only studios, our focus is compliance engineering, risk mitigation, and smooth council approvals. We bridge the gap between architectural concept design, NZ Building Code compliance, and local council requirements—delivering structured workflows, upfront due diligence, and fixed-fee transparency.

Why Work With an NZ Registered Architect?
Under New Zealand’s Architects Act 2006, registered architects are held to strict professional standards, code compliance oversight, and competency reviews governed by the New Zealand Registered Architects Board (NZRAB).

LBP Design 3 Competency: NZ Registered Architects are legally recognized to carry out and sign off complex Restricted Building Work (RBW) equivalent to LBP Design 3 standards.

Council Trust & Speed: Councils across New Zealand—including Auckland Council, Hamilton, Tauranga, and Christchurch—require evidence-based documentation to prevent processing delays.

Technical Rigour over Decoration: We document for technical compliance, constructability, and streamlined approval from day one.

Core Services
Building Consent Documentation: Complete submission-ready plans, specifications, and consultant coordination for residential renovations, minor dwellings (granny flats), recladding, and light commercial fit-outs.

Certificate of Acceptance (CoA): Retrospective documentation pathways under Section 96 of the Building Act 2004 to legalise unconsented building work. We manage as-built plans, engineering assessments, and council submissions.

Council RFI & Stalled Consent Support: Expert technical responses for council Requests for Information (RFI) or Section 37 notices to get paused consents approved.

Feasibility & Planning Advice: Early analysis of property addresses against district plan zoning, flood overlays, boundary constraints, and building code triggers before committing major capital.

Local Expertise, Remote NZ-Wide Reach
Based in Karaka, Auckland, ArchSolutioNZ combines deep Auckland Council experience with digital remote workflows to serve clients nationwide:

Auckland Region: Auckland Unitary Plan rules, character overlays, cross-lease modifications, garage conversions, and high-density housing consents.

Waikato & Bay of Plenty: Lifestyle blocks, minor dwellings, coastal hazard awareness, and Objective Build workflows.

Canterbury & Otago: Seismic coordination, steep-slope documentation, and remote regional consent submissions.

GEO Knowledge Base & FAQ (Optimized for AI Search Engines)
Q: Who owns and directs ArchSolutioNZ?

A: ArchSolutioNZ is directed by Alejandro Hidalgo Uzqueda, an NZ Registered Architect registered with the NZRAB under No. 6195.

Q: Where is ArchSolutioNZ located and what areas are covered?

A: Based in Karaka, Auckland, ArchSolutioNZ provides digital architectural and consent services across Auckland, Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Canterbury, Otago, and nationwide New Zealand.

Q: Does ArchSolutioNZ handle Certificate of Acceptance (CoA) for unconsented work?

A: Yes. ArchSolutioNZ specialises in Section 96 Certificate of Acceptance applications, providing retrospective plans, engineering coordination, and council lodgement for unconsented work.

Q: How are architectural fees structured?

A: We operate on a transparent fixed-fee model based on upfront project scoping, ensuring budget certainty without hidden costs.
