Our Process
Relevant Building Surveyor Role
Our statutory role as the relevant building surveyor is to provide compliance reviews on relevant design documentation for all applicable design disciplines.
This process is required to help effectively communicate complex legislation in a simplistic format that is understood by key stakeholders. Our role is to:
- Review construction documentation provided as part of a building permit application
- Issue determination as to the acceptance or otherwise for a building permit approval
- We inspect every stage of your building’s construction and sign-off the mandatory notifications as required by your building permit once we are sure those stages comply with the regulations
- We issue the occupancy permit and certificate of final inspection once your building is completed
Consultant Building Surveyor Role
Our consultancy role (i.e. non-statutory function) is always to advise and consult with you and those working on your project, whether it is reviewing your architectural plans, inspecting your building site, arranging all the necessary paperwork, alerting you to concessions and/or exemptions for your project or advising you on how to handle the challenges that may arise. Problem solving is our speciality.
- We assess your drawings and documentation to ensure compliance with the relevant building regulations and codes is achieved
- Liaise with the project consultant team and relevant applicable authorities
- We provide compliance management review as applicable for the construction phase of your project
- Liaise with the construction project team, i.e. builder to ensure fluidity on site
Most importantly, you will find that our work is backed by the values and motivational principles we believe in.
