Choosing us as your building surveyor means you can schedule inspections to suit your construction timetable, therefore sticking to your schedule.
Building Permit Melbourne
A building permit is a document from a registered building surveyor that indicates that your documentation complies with the National Construction Code (NCC) and legislation prior to building work commencing. After checking your plans are compliant, we issue a building permit. The permit outlines important information such as which mandatory building inspections are required and whether you need an occupancy permit.
Occupancy Permit
As a last check we complete the final inspection. For any homes in Victoria you will need to receive an occupancy permit or OP (also called an occupancy certificate) from a registered building surveyor before your builder is able to handover the keys. If you are doing an extension or alteration, you will need to apply for a certificate of final inspection.
Certificate of Design Compliance
The Building Act 2011 and the Building Regulations 2012, regulate the building permit application process in WA. These regulations state that builders in Western Australia must get a Certificate of Design Compliance (CDC) from a registered building surveyor before they can receive an approved building permit and start work.
