BUILDING PERMITS.
Once the Town Planning /Development permit has been applied for and the councils positive response is received and any required changes to the plans/information have been resubmitted Storybook will send everything off to the engineers for preparation of all the necessary engineering information for the structure and slab/foundations to the building. When this engineering is received the application for the Building Permit is submitted.
Where possible Storybook prefer to recommend a private building surveyor/certifier to issue the actual Building permit and to provide inspections during the construction process, because they have found that their services are invariably faster than the Councils/Shires. Storybook designs are Custom not mainstream and Town Planners often find it harder to understand our complexity, resulting in them finding it necessary to request additional explanatory information which Storybook readily supply. Our clients will be asked to supply the Owner Builder or Builder registration details and where the application requires the installation of a septic tank or treatment plant waste disposal system they will also be asked for these details because this must be applied for by the licensed plumber who will be doing the installation. The building permit cannot be issued until after the issue of the town planning/development permit.
