Building Permit – FAQ
Do I need an owner builder permit for adding an extension to my home?
For home extensions, an owner builder permit is often required, especially for significant alterations. This permit allows you to undertake the construction work yourself and/or managing it, ensuring you adhere to safety and building standards. It’s important to check local regulations, as requirements can vary based on the project’s scale and location.
How does being an owner builder affect my building permit application process?
As an owner builder, your building permit application process involves additional responsibilities. You’ll need to demonstrate a clear understanding of building regulations and prove your capability to manage the construction. This often includes providing detailed plans and possibly completing an owner builder course or exam, depending on local requirements.
Do I need a shed permit for a small garden shed on my property?
The requirement for a shed permit depends on the size and location of the shed.
