Why you need one
Building Surveying is part of every building project, whether this is new construction, alteration, addition or using a building in a different way.
Before you gain council approval for a building permit, you will need specific certifications. We can issue some of these or help you source the right consultant for your project.
Initially, we look at your plans and assess them against the building code. We look at how the building is going to be used to see if it will be compliant.
If your plans meet the code, we are authorised to issue a Certificate of Design Compliance. This is one requirement to gain council approval and progress your project.
In instances where design rework may need to take place, we advise where the issues are and what options you have.
