In Victoria for any structure over 10m2 or any structure that is attached to your dwelling you are required to obtain a Building Permit under the Victorian Building Regulations. After deciding on the size and layout of your building and where it will be placed on your property we can assist or handle all of you Permit requirements√

Bring in any site plans or sketches that you have showing the existing conditions including trees and the proposed structure and we can give you our advice√

At the initial stage of Design and Quote we like to provide you with a Property Report which indicates if you are lucky to only need a Building Permit (these only take about 2 weeks). 

If the Property Report shows any Planning Overlays then you may require a Planning Permit.  We can contact your Council to find out the Triggers for your Property and then work through the process for you - this can take a number of months. 

We are happy to take the burden from you√

The only thing you will need to do is to book your Final Inspection when your project is finished.
