DCP and Character House Plan Specialists

An experienced designer knows QLD building codes, city council codes and district local planning requirements and how these will affect your proposed design and construction requirements. All costs, constraints and design options will be discussed prior to commencing design work.

WHY EXPERIENCE COUNTS…

• Pre-design analysis
• Present recommendations to client
• Plans designed to client specifications
• Plans submitted and approvals received

UPSIDE: You Are Completely Informed

Sometimes a D.A. is inevitable but you should be confident all options are considered from the beginning

While a good building designer will correctly identify the need for a development application, they may not be aware of potential ways for designing to their clients requirements and remaining within the council codes, saving their client the cost of a Development Application.

ONLY MINOR COST SAVINGS…

• Plans correctly drawn
• Development application identified
• Plans correctly submitted to council
• Approval received

DOWNSIDE: Potential Costs Savings Not Identified

Sometimes a D.A. is inevitable but you should be confident all options are considered from the beginning

If the building plans are not prepared properly you will not receive building approval from council, this can be caused by incorrect interpretation of council codes, incorrect boundary offsets or an inability to identify when a development application is required to meet client / council needs.

WHY IT WILL COST YOU MORE…

• Plans rejected by council
• Recommendations sought for compliance
• Plans redrawn to meet council requirements
• Plans resubmitted and approved

DOWNSIDE: Time | Costs | Compromised Design
