Data & sources

Grounded in New Zealand's public building-consent record.

ARRO's RFI predictions are built on public MBIE and council data - Building Code guidance, council RFI-avoidance guidance, checklists, and performance reporting. Every structured fact retains its source: publisher, document, page or section, and the exact quote it came from.

Coverage

What's in the corpus

  • MBIE Building Code guidance - Acceptable Solutions & Verification Methods, and national consent-system performance reporting.

  • Council RFI practice - published “avoiding RFIs” guidance, check sheets, vetting and processing-clock rules, structured per building consent authority.

  • MBIE determinations - binding rulings on Building Act disputes, indexed by clause, topic and outcome.

  • Regional overlays - flood, wind, liquefaction and servicing requirements that drive council-specific evidence.

On provenance

This is public data, indexed with provenance - not a proprietary dataset. Every rule links to a source URL and, where the source allows, a page-level quote. Figures above count only source-linked records; determination counts reflect human-reviewed entries. We don't present public MBIE or council data as private, and product outputs remain review aids, not legal advice.
