All knock down rebuild projects require a survey of the existing block by a registered surveyor. This helps us to determine the site conditions that we are working with as well as the neighbouring homes and is required to determine costs in the design of your new home. It will also identify service connection points on your site as well as any easements and any existing features, like, trees, sewer manholes, driveway position etc..
A soil test is also required to assist us in the design of the foundations of your new home. A soil test is the only way for us to determine what is under the surface and is required for a more accurate tender price.
We will also require the Section 149 Certificate for your property. The S149 is issued by the local Council and provides us with the necessary information about your zoning and the allowed uses of your property as well as any restrictions that there may be. This also includes the history of your property as well as easements, bushfire and flood information and all the relevant planning controls that we are required to adhere to.
