WE TAKE CARE OF ALL COUNCIL APPROVALS AND CERTIFICATION

Building a Hometainer should be exciting, not overwhelming. That is why we coordinate the approvals and certification process from initial plans through to construction approval.

Our team works with experienced independent consultants across Queensland and New South Wales, coordinating the documentation, reports and professional services required for your project.

Depending on your site and project, this may include:

  • Structural engineering
  • Energy efficiency assessment
  • Site and building plans
  • Bushfire assessment
  • Soil testing
  • Wastewater and septic design
  • Building certification and compliance documentation

QUEENSLAND

In Queensland, many Hometainer projects can proceed through the building approval process with a private building certifier without requiring a separate Development Application to council.

Requirements vary depending on the property, planning overlays and project design. We coordinate the required consultants, documentation and certification on your behalf.


NEW SOUTH WALES

In New South Wales, the approval pathway depends on the property, design and local planning requirements. Where a Development Application is required, we coordinate the plans, consultants and supporting documentation needed for submission and work through the process with you.

 

ONE TEAM, FROM DESIGN TO APPROVAL

From initial design and engineering through to final construction documentation, Hometainer coordinates the process, giving you one point of contact throughout your project.
