Received a Building Notice or Building Order from Horsham Council?
SP Building Surveyors can inspect unauthorised building work, prepare a compliance report, and advise on rectification or permit requirements
If you have received a Building Notice or Building Order from Horsham Council, it usually means council has become aware of building work that may have been carried out without the required approval, or work that may not comply with the Building Act, Building Regulations or relevant building standards.
This can include sheds, verandahs, pergolas, decks, garages, extensions, alterations, commercial fit outs, mezzanines, unauthorised structural work, or other building work completed without a building permit
SP Building Surveyors can assist owners, builders and property managers across the Horsham area by inspecting the existing work, reviewing available documents, and preparing a report outlining whether the work appears compliant, what rectification may be required, and whether a building permit is needed for further works.
What is the process?
SP Building Surveyors can provide a fee proposal to carry out an inspection of the as built structure and provide a report of its current condition.
The building will meet one of these criteria:
- The building complies outright in which we will issue a certification letter to Council.
- The building will require rectification works outlined in the report. A Building Permit will be required for any further works.
- The building is not compliant and significant changes / demolition will need to take place. At which point we may advise you it might be best to demolish your building.
- Consult a registered draftsperson to obtain as built drawings and documenting all rectification works mentioned in our report.
- Consult a registered engineer to provide comments and certification on any structural works. As built drawings and all rectification works may also be required.
- Engage other consultants such as soil engineers, energy raters, bushfire assessors, etc to provide details of further works in order to achieve compliance.
PLEASE NOTE: You are not be permitted to carry out any further rectification works until such time that a building permit has been issued. We will need the above information prior to issuing a building permit.
SP Building Surveyors can provide an inspection within 3 days of engagement and will provide a report within 7 days. We understand that these can be delicate matters in particular keeping to council time frames.
