Office Design Sydney
Most office fitouts fall under Complying Development regulations, which streamline the planning and construction approval process for straightforward developments. These regulations allow for swift assessments by a council or private accredited certifier. Complying development encompasses various projects, including new dwelling construction, house alterations and additions, new industrial buildings, building demolition, and changes in business use.
Complying Developments require approval from a building professional (otherwise known as a certifying authority), and may include conditions to safeguard surrounding areas during construction and the Complying Development’s lifespan. SB Projects can seamlessly manage this entire process for you, guaranteeing your office fitouts remain compliant and appropriately certified.
Reach out to the SB Projects team, and we’ll ascertain the necessary compliance and certification requirements, relieving you of any stress. Trust us to expertly navigate the entire approvals process, delivering your dream fitout design on schedule and within budget.
