Preliminary Building Agreement
Once you’re ready to start, the Surveyor visits the site to collect information about the dimensions and location of existing buildings, trees, services, hard and soft surface areas etc. Most importantly the levels of the land are determined. A drawing is produced as a base for architectural and engineering plans.
A geotechnical report will be required to determine the soil classification. At this stage a Sewer Pegout may also be required if the building will affect the sewer mains. This is not always required.
The building design process is staged starting with your wish list and the property and compliance restraints. Our designer will deliver a concept for your review as a starting point and then it will be developed further to until its right for you.
Once council approves your project, they will issue a ‘Notice of Determination’ which lists all the conditions before the build (CC), during the build, and after the build (OC – Occupation Certificate).
If the approval is via a Private Certifier then a Complying Development Certificate is issued which outlines the conditions during the build, inspection times and Occupation Certificate Requirements. Once you have a CDC approval, construction can start.
This is where explore and delve into the colours that excite and delight you. We consider your décor, your design style and the colours that resonate with you. Each home, each room and each space are the elements that ultimately inspire you.
With our knowledge and expertise in hand, we will walk you through the colour and material selection process.
All of your selections will be recorded, and a “Colour and Material Schedule” will be produced ready for your final approval.
All plans, reports, approvals and material schedules are packaged up in preparation for construction.
