Here's the thing with renovating to change the function of a building in Australia. We changed a residential house to a rooming house. Here's some of the insights taken at the time of the framing inspection.
“So, great news. We had our inspection on the frame and that’s all passed. In fact, it was a bit of a non-event really. So, look, we just need to get that compliant. Given that we’re transferring from a class 1A to 1B building, all of the permits and approvals need to be above board. All of our trades need to be registered and obviously licensed for their particular trade. And we’re finding that dotting our i’s and crossing our t’s is actually making the project run more smoothly, which is unheard of.”
Keeping a compliance eye on the details through the build helped us refer certificates and confirm compliance when it mattered to our consultants. Not exciting, sexy or fun but saved going back at the end of the day and delays in our approvals to open the doors.
