As an owner-builder you provide a current copy of title and plan of subdivision, your plans and structural details, and the cost of works. Some jobs also need engineering, and above the insurance threshold, domestic building insurance. The quote form asks for what applies, and a surveyor confirms the rest.
Once we have a complete application and the required documents, we can get straight to work. The assessment itself is often the quick part. Delays are more commonly caused by missing information, outstanding documents or changes that need to be addressed. We'll clearly tell you what's required, keep you informed about anything outstanding and follow up where necessary, so your application doesn't sit waiting unnecessarily. Our goal is simple: keep your application moving and get your building permit issued as efficiently as possible.
