WHAT IS YOUR DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL?
MELBOURNE AND STATE-WIDE
SERVICES WE OFFER
We have you covered with our simple, step-by-step process from concept to construction. All work is completed in-house by our skilled and trained designers, who have extensive expertise handling all applications through council.
Custom Home Design
Our custom home design services can assist you in making your ideas a reality.
We offer a one-on-one consultation and our production of the artwork is based on the design brief that is provided to us. There are times when we all sit down and create it right away if essential to save you time. We have the skills, experience, and attention to detail necessary to deliver the outcomes you want.
Dual Occupancy Designs
The term "dual occupancy" refers to two properties sharing a single property block. A "multi-dwelling," "duplex," or "side-by-side development" are other terms for a dual occupancy development.
We can set up any configuration, but most of the time we work to maximise the potential of the property.
Town Planning Permits
A Town Planning Permit is required when land is divided into two or more lots. This is accomplished by submitting a town planning application to the local council together with a comprehensive set of planning drawings and reports.
The length of the approval process depends on your local coucil. Our thorough understanding of state and local planning regulations enables us to rapidly get planning permits and avoid lengthy processes like arbitration at VCAT.
BUILDING PERMITS
Building permits are necessary when you want to begin building, and as part of our building permit packages, we handle everything for you to obtain one.
Our building permit checklist allows us to provide all documents that are required for you to make a successful building permit application and have it approved quickly.
SUBDIVISION
When you want to divide your property into two or more lots and apply for separate titles at the title office, this is known as subdivision. We can assist you through the process, which is independent of the local planning and building permit procedures.
CONSTRUCTION QUOTES
We can assist you in requesting an estimate from reliable builders we have worked with throughout the years. We obtain approximate construction quotes for your designs in order to protect your project's end profit.
PLOT LAYOUTS
Why not request a plot layout before buying your property? This will help determine what can fit on your block.
Using our expertise and understanding of planning standards, we can maximise your property through our plot designing process.
RESIDENTIAL 1B
Residential 1B is a boarding home type that can house up to 12 occupants and has a maximum floor area of 300 sqm. Only 2 parking places are needed.
If designed in line with the boarding house regulations, no planning permit is necessary; just a building permit is required, and construction can start in as little as six weeks.
INTERNAL OFFICE & SHOP LAYOUTS
In order to best serve your needs, we can measure the current configuration of your office or retail space and offer you with a floor plan of the area. When it comes to remodelling your space, we can also suggest interior designers.
