Road construction consent (RCC)

Standard detail drawings support the design and construction requirements for Road Construction Consent (RCC) applications.

They provide standard construction details, materials and specifications to help ensure that new roads and infrastructure are:

• built consistently
• durable and fit for purpose
• compliant with our standards

The library is organised using the Manual of Contract Documents core series that applied before September 2025. Applicants and designers should refer to the relevant drawings when preparing RCC submissions.
