FAQs

A building permit is a written approval issued by a registered building surveyor. It certifies that your proposed building work complies with the Building Act 1993 and the Building Regulations 2018. Most construction, renovation or structural work requires a permit before any work begins. If you’re unsure whether your project needs one, feel free to contact our team.
To obtain a permit, you need to submit an application along with the required forms and documentation. Our team will guide you through the process to ensure a smooth experience. Contact us for assistance with your application.
Timelines vary depending on the complexity of the project and the quality of the documentation. Generally, simple applications can be processed within 7–10 business days.
Most standard building inspections take between 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the complexity of the project and what stage of construction is being inspected. Larger or more detailed inspections (e.g. final inspections or commercial sites) may take longer. We’ll always let you know what to expect before we attend.
