What to expect

We assist with preparing and coordinating documentation required for council submissions and approvals, helping streamline the process from initial planning through to lodgement. We also work directly with councils throughout the process to help address requirements, requests for information and submission coordination.

Depending on the project, documentation and coordination may include:

  • Site plans and floor plans

  • Elevations and sections

  • Shadow diagrams and planning notes

  • BASIX coordination

  • Stormwater concepts

  • Material and finishes schedules

  • 3D visualisations for presentation purposes

  • Consultant and engineering coordination

  • Council submission preparation and revisions

Every project is different, and requirements can vary depending on the site, council and scope of works. We work closely with clients, consultants and councils to help ensure documentation is clear, practical and ready for submission.
