Building Permits

With over 20 years of industry experience, Lakeside Building Consultants have the expertise to navigate the complicated documentation required for you to obtain a building permit and begin work on your construction project.

We have developed strong professional relationships with a range of builders, surveyors, engineers and other building experts. We use these connections to help you break ground on your building project as quickly as possible, by ascertaining and obtaining all of the necessary documentation on your behalf. 

What is a Building Permit?

A building permit is necessary for nearly all works, and ensures that the building, once constructed, is both safe for use and in compliance with the Building Act (1993), the Building Regulations and all local council requirements. Having the correct permit is vital for your safety and legal protection.

With the expertise of Lakeside Building Consultants, you can be confident that your building permits are applied for and issued correctly and your project is in compliance from the beginning. If any issues arise with the Shire we have the industry contacts and knowledge to offer advice, or even be able to facilitate action on your behalf.

If you’re unsure whether your project requires a building permit, get in touch with our office today. As experts in the field, we’ll be able to get you all the relevant information you need to begin building, and can help organise a licensed builder for the job.
