Verandah building permit melbourne

Choosing our plans and building permit service means you receive unbiased advice, tailored solutions and do not have to deal with all the regulatory requirements. 

We work solely for you, ensuring that your interests are prioritized throughout the project. Our expertise allows us to navigate the complexities of outdoor construction efficiently, saving you time and reducing stress. 

The duration of the project can vary depending on factors such as design complexity, permitting timelines, and builder availability. 

With the above given in mind, the entire process from initial consultation to project completion can take anywhere from 3 months to 6 months on average. We will provide you with a more accurate timeline during our initial consultation. 

During the onsite measure up, we will visit your property to:

• Take precise measurements of the area where you want to build.
• Discuss your ideas and preferences in detail.
• Assess any site-specific challenges or considerations (e.g., drainage, access). This information will be used to create accurate design plans that align with your vision. 

We handle all necessary paperwork required for your building permit application, which includes:

• Land Title: Proof of ownership of the property.
• Plan of Subdivision: A detailed map outlining property boundaries.
• Property Information Certificate: Information about your property’s zoning and any restrictions.
• Legal Point of Discharge: Documentation regarding stormwater management.
• Letter of Appointment: Formal documents appointing the surveyor and us as your representative for the permit application. 

We understand that preferences can evolve during a project. 

If you wish to make changes after plans have been drafted or construction has begun, a discussion can be had with the builder and us if required to assess their impact on timelines and budgets.
