When Approvals Are Needed

Not every renovation requires council approval, but many do.


You often need to submit plans to your local council or a building certifier for:

  • Structural changes
  • Extensions
  • New windows or doors
  • Decks
  • Certain additions


Knowing which rules apply to your property can be confusing, and that's where we step in.

Follow-Through

We track your application, respond to council queries, and book in all necessary inspections.

With us handling approvals, you avoid delays, fines, or costly rework. Everything is done properly, above-board, and compliant.

Experience Matters

We've navigated countless approvals across ACT and NSW councils. Because we know the process (and the people), we can keep things moving faster and with fewer headaches. We speak the language of certifiers and council officers, so you don't have to.

A Smoother Sale Later

When the renovation is complete, you'll have all approvals and certificates neatly in order. Buyers and their solicitors love this. It gives them confidence the work is legal and safe, making the selling process smoother and often quicker.

Real Example

Recently, we managed approval for a client adding a deck and new windows to their heritage-area home. Heritage requirements meant more paperwork. We handled it well and got approval quickly. This saved the homeowner time, stress, and uncertainty.
