Our Pathway to your new build

​

​

· ResCode cross-reference to site and layout design

​

Planning

​

· Advertisement to surrounding subdivision

​

· Await council assessment and final decision

​

· Planning permit issued – conditionally

· Endorsement of plans by council

​

NB: At this stage depending on nature of the project and intention by owner, BuildPath will also apply to council for subdivision planning permit. These may or may not be achieved at this stage depending on council members and each governing municipality. BuildPath as the clients agent recommends this early step to achieve at the least a conditional planning permit for subdivision so as the process can commence and hopefully be completed in time the COO (certificate of occupancy) is issued by RBS

Construction

At this stage if you do not have a RBP (Registered Building Practitioner, DB-U or Owner Builder status BuildPath can assist in establishing a relationship between the client and a builder who is more than capable and willing to take on your project.

 

As the client agent and a registered DB-U/C-DB-U BuildPath have the experience and industry knowledge to insure this stage is not confusing and daunting for the client.

 

We will assess your individual needs and requirements and assist you in choosing a builder, attaining owner-builder status via the VBA or taking on the project ourselves if an agreement is made.

 

Rest assured we have you covered and your best interests in mind.

 

· Tender for builders contracts and prices

​

· Assessment of quotations and inclusions etc

​

· Brief contract review and recommendations

​

· Assign builder and parameters

· Commence construction

Subdivision

  • Liaise with Land Surveyor to compile file on SPEAR (online platform for authorities) with relevant docs

​

  • Apply for consent from utility authorities to satisfy council conditions on permit

​

  • Contract work for civil and non-civil works to be carried out and completed

​

  • Complete construction works (including that of civil work for compliance purposes)

​

  • Statement of compliance issued by council

​

  • Land titles office issues new titles for parent and child titles

​

NB: AS STATED PREVIOUSLY, THERE HAVE BEEN CASES IN THE PAST WITHIN CERTAIN MUNICIPALITIES (FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AND FOR OTHER CLIENTS PROJECTS) WHEREIN BUILDPATH CAN ATTAIN STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE AND SPLIT TITLES PRIOR TO CONSTRUCTION COMPLETION OR IN CASE CONSTRUCTION COMMENCEMENT.

 

HOWEVER THIS ISNT AN EXPECTATION WE SUGGEST OUR CLIENTS ADOPT. GENERALLY AND IN MOST CASES COUNCILS ISSUE STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE ONCE CONSTRUCTION IS COMPLETED AND WORKS ASSOCIATED WITH SECTION 173 AGREEMENT ARE SATISFIED.
