Smart Choice Building Permits and Inspections

Powers back on. We are back up and running.

Unfortunately the power is out down the street and we can't take your phone calls or access our computers. Fingers crossed we will be back up and running shortly.

Some useful information on Granny Flats

You may have seen that the Victorian Government has removed the need for planning permits for small second homes, aka "granny flats"; however, all building work, including granny flats, still require a building permit prior to construction.

Having a building permit provides you with protection by ensuring:

• The building practitioners working on your project are registered and carry the required insurance.
• Adequate documentation is prepared so the construction can be carried out correctly and according to building legislation.
• Key stages of the work are independently inspected.
• Your building is suitable for occupation.
