We have documented, managed and been involved with the building stages for dual ocupancy homes, townhouse projects, apartments, retail and commercial, health, education to name a few disciplines.

Once your Town Planning Approval for your dual occ townhouse is in place, our registered drafting team will start the building permit documentation. Those documents include:

Architectural working drawings

Soil report

Structural engineering

Civil (drainage) engineering

Energy report

other reports as required

The Building stage for a residential project like a dual occupancy can be broken into the following stages:

  • Preconstruction

  • Construction preliminaries

  • Base Stage

  • Frame Stage

  • Lockup

  • Fix

  • Completion
