Whats the building regs like out there, is a little more relaxed than UK. Do you have to have inspectors constantly on your back making sure its all to their liking. australia is the land of paperwork my friend;) in order to do the work ive had to get an home builders certificate yes a certificate along wth a load of bloody paperwork for the application to work on your own house and as usual it come with fees $300 for the applicaton and if your not in a prescribed proffesion another $500 for the owner builders course the building application has to go to a certifiers office, these are privatly run companies who check all the paperwork prior to the councill granting your application ( costs i had quotes from $800 to $1600 ) the application its self consist of lots of smaller sets of forms ( each 4 to six pages asking basically the same info we were told not to put as above or as previous form as it would get sent back for lack of info :rofl: must have written our address lot number and plan number a dozen times iduring the aplication ) theres application forms for plumbing and drainage, one for the structual enginneer, a "common one which is mostly the details of who what and when are involved, a specific one asking details of whats to be done six sets of architects drawings three sets structual drawings three soil analysis repsorts ( for use of existing septic as we are not on mains sewerage ) councill planning fees caouncill plumbing fees ( with costs attached to each item that you want to add ie $62 per sink toilet etc plus $220 plan checking fee ) so in conclusion i would say nope its a lot bloody harder and alot more exspensive making an application and in regards to inspectors i dont know yet as we have just started regards steve |
