Building Permits & Inspections
Assessment of proposed building work and consultation prior to issue of building permit. Mandatory inspections are then carried out as required by regulations and the project finalised upon completion.
Preliminary Design Advice
Throughout the design phase, a building surveyor can provide advice regarding compliance matters and potential building solutions. We have a practical and performance based approach and are willing to assess each project individually.
Owner-Builders/Defects Reports (Section 137b)
If you have constructed a home as an owner builder in previous six and a half years and wish to sell, you are required by the Building Act 1993 to carry out a defects report under Section 137b; this report will then form part of the Section 32 transfer documentation at time of sale.
Owner builder reports are required for works including additions, renovations, verandahs, pergolas, retaining walls, decks, swimming pools and associated barriers.
Pool Safety Barrier Design & Advice (Form-23 Inclusive)
Current building regulations require that proposed and existing swimming pool barriers achieve full compliance with and adhere to all requirements of Australian Standard 1926.1 – 2012 (or previously applicable standard). This standard provides parameters with aim to preventing child access to swimming pool enclosures.
CFL can provide both preliminary design advice and onsite consultation to ensure compliance with these regulations.
BAL Inspection & Reports (Bushfire Attack Levels)
If you are proposing to construct a building in a designated bushfire area, you may be required to carry out a Bushfire Attack Level assessment in accordance with the building regulations and specifically Australian Standard 3959 – 2018.
This assessment will then determine the level of construction required to protect your building from bushfire attack.
