Our Services
What it is: Professionally prepared building plans needed for Development Approval (DA).
Why you need it: All building works — including extensions, renovations, and new homes — require detailed plans that meet South Australia’s planning and building rules before they can be lodged with council or a private certifier.
How we help: We connect you with experienced drafters who prepare council-ready plans based on your design ideas and property requirements.
What it is: Engineering design and certification to ensure structural safety for your building or renovation.
Why you need it: For any structural changes (like removing walls, adding beams, footing design, or retaining walls), a structural engineer must confirm the work complies with the Building Code and is safe.
How we help: We refer you to qualified structural engineers who provide the required designs and certification reports needed for approval and construction.
What it is: A licensed private certifier assesses your application to ensure your project complies with the Building Code of Australia and SA building rules.
Why you need it: Every building project in South Australia requires Building Rules Consent (BRC) — either through council or a private certifier — before a builder can begin work.
How we help: We match you with accredited private certifiers in SA who can provide faster approvals than council in many cases and guide you through the documentation needed for compliance.
What it is: On-site soil sampling and analysis to classify your land under the AS 2870 standard.
Why you need it: Soil type determines how your footings and slab should be designed — which is mandatory for any new build or extension in SA. Council and certifiers require this classification before they sign off on structural plans.
How we help: We connect you with licensed geotechnical testers who provide accurate reports within South Australian guidelines.
What it is: A thermal performance assessment of your building plans, issued by an accredited assessor under the Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme (NatHERS).
Why you need it: To meet SA building regulations, new homes and renovations must comply with minimum 6-star energy efficiency standards — this report demonstrates compliance and is required for Building Rules Consent.
How we help: We connect you with qualified energy assessors who produce official NatHERS certificates based on your plans.
What it is: Analysis of your site to determine the level of bushfire risk under AS 3959.
Why you need it: If your home is within a declared bushfire-prone area in SA, this assessment is mandatory. It affects design, building materials, and approval conditions.
How we help: We refer you to qualified Bushfire Planning and Design (BPAD) assessors who calculate your BAL rating and issue compliant reports.
What it is: A detailed drainage plan showing how stormwater will be managed on your property in accordance with council requirements.
Why you need it: Councils require a compliant stormwater management plan for all new builds and major alterations to ensure water is directed appropriately and doesn’t affect surrounding land.
How we help: We match you with experienced stormwater designers who produce plans approved for council submission and site installation.
What it is: Detailed written specifications that accompany your plans — covering materials, finishes, codes, and build standards.
Why you need it: These documents help prevent disputes, keep builders accountable, and ensure construction matches what was approved.
How we help: We can refer you to drafting specialists who prepare full construction drawings and specifications for a smooth build process.
