As the year winds down, many of us start reviewing our list of home improvement goals we haven't quite had the time to tackle. There is no better time to start ticking off the 'project to do list' than during the Christmas break, whether it’s replacing a fence, building a new deck/pergola, or tackling other small improvements that could fall under exempt development. Having certainty, you’re not erecting a fence over a neighbour’s boundary or that your project meets the requirements to be classed exempt development (no formal approval needed) will set you up to have a productive holiday break!

Our Turnaround Times Before the Holidays.
We understand this time of year can fly by, that’s why we offer Detail Surveys with a typical turnaround of 7–10 days from engagement and Approval Pathway Reports within 3-5 Business Days.

(Disclaimer: Timeframes may vary depending on site access availability, external conditions, such as weather and S10.7 turnaround times)

Facilitating Your Holiday Projects.
Having your Detail Survey & Approval Pathway Report completed before the break means you can:-  Finalise plans for fencing replacements.-  Prepare for small-scale projects like decks or pergolas.-  Kickstart other exempt developments without delays.

Don’t Miss the Window!
The festive season is a great time to get things done, but only if you’re prepared. Book your Detail Survey and Approval Pathway Report now to avoid the rush and make sure your project is ready to go when you are.

(Note: Approval Pathway Assessments can be prepared based on written information/site photographs with no Architectural Plans needed.)
