Frequently Asked Question
Do I need to arrange council approval before scheduling an onsite inspection?
Council approval is not needed for the inspection itself, but our builders will advise whether your project will require permits during the assessment.
No, you do not need council approval before scheduling an onsite inspection. An onsite inspection is an internal assessment to evaluate your property and help us understand what work is required. It is a preliminary step that comes before any formal building applications or approvals are lodged with local councils.
However, during the onsite inspection, our builders can advise you on whether your planned project will require council approval once work begins. For example, major bathroom renovations, kitchen renovations, home extensions, or new home builds in Port Melbourne often require building permits and council sign-off. By identifying these requirements during the inspection stage, you can factor them into your project timeline and budget. Our team can guide you through the approval process once we have assessed your property and understood your project scope.
