Building permits
We assess your drawings against the building regulations and issue your building permit, so construction can start with certainty.
What we do
As your relevant building surveyor, we check that the design meets the Building Act 1993, the Building Regulations 2018 and the National Construction Code before anything is built. If something needs to change, we tell you early, while it’s still a drawing and not a rebuild.
- Assessment of architectural and engineering drawings, reports and specifications
- Building permits for new homes, extensions, renovations, garages, decks and pools
- Commercial, industrial and educational projects, including fit-outs and change of use
- Guidance when council report and consent or other approvals are needed first
- Lodgement of the issued permit and documents with council
What to send us
A full set of drawings, any engineering and energy reports, the property title, and the estimated cost of works. Our building permit checklist lists everything, and the quote form lets you upload it all at once.
