Building Dispensations, Build over Eastment Applications & Pool Fences

Building Dispensations

Building Regulations limit things like;

  • How close to the front, side and rear boundaries you can build?
  • How high you can build?
  • How much of your site you can cover?
  • How long a wall along a boundary can be and a range of other things?

It is possible to apply to Council for consent to vary these regulations. This is called a Building Dispensation.

Abcad Design can discuss what you want to do and assess if it is suitable to apply for a Building Dispensation.

If so we can produce the plans, the application and negotiate with Council on your behalf.

Build Over Easements consents

Easements are areas on your land that someone else has a right to use for a specific purpose. Typically, the easements allow for underground drainage pipes but can be for a range of other uses. If you need to build on or change part of your land that is close to or within an easement, you may need to get the consent. Abcad Design can discuss what you want to do and assess if a Build Over Easement application is required. If so, we can produce the plans, the application and handle the process.

Pool Fences/Safety Barriers

Building Regulations require a compliant safety barrier (pool fence) as a passive measure to assist with the protection of children around private pools, spas and some water features. Plans that demonstrate how a compliant safety barrier is to be built form part of the permit documents for any new pool, spa and some water features. Abcad Design can discuss your requirements, obligations and preferences. We can then produce plans for a suitable pool fence.

Experience the Abcad Design difference

What do you want from your Designer?

Most will tell you that they know their stuff. But that’s what you expect right? Sure, we know our stuff too but, what is different about us will make you money.

The clock is ticking and time is money!
  • We are quick with our work and do what we promise. Each project has time lines and deadlines set monitored and met.
  • We don’t wait for Council. We actively chase up Council at each stage to keep your application moving through the Councils system.
Building Cost and Profit are connected!
  • Getting a Planning Permit is the goal, right? When you have a permit, the cost to build and practicality becomes very important this is where we come in.
  • We don’t waste your money designing impractical and unnecessarily expensive design solutions.
Appealing design & features equal popular project!

  • Having a permit for a Development that doesn’t suit your intended market or has a poor floor plan will cost you money. Real Estate Agents and experience will tell you that popular properties sell or rent quicker and for higher prices.

  • We prepare designs that are directly responsive to the needs of your target market and include Interior Design expertise.

Sure, we know our stuff;

  • We are very good at maximising your site.

  • We have a wealth of experience in Planning, Design, Development and Construction.

  • We will tell you where to push the boundaries of the regulations and where not to.

  • We are ready, willing and very able to negotiate with Council and (if needed) Objectors.
