What permits are required for a full house renovation?
Short Answer
Most full house renovations require building permits, and potentially planning permits, which we handle as part of our comprehensive service.
Long Answer
Permit requirements for full house renovations depend on the scope of structural changes, additions, and modifications planned. Most comprehensive renovations require a building permit, particularly when involving structural alterations, room additions, or changes to the building's footprint.
Planning permits may be necessary for significant external modifications, especially in heritage overlay areas or locations with specific council restrictions. Electrical work requires appropriate electrical permits, whilst major plumbing modifications need plumbing permits from licensed professionals.
