Restaurant & Cafe Building Permits
If you are planning a building project that involves a restaurant or cafe, you may well require a restaurant permit or cafe permit. Projects that need this type of permit include a new build for a cafe or restaurant, a restaurant renovation, a change of use, or a demolition project for an existing structure. Conferring with a licensed and experienced building surveyor is the best way to determine which permits you actually need.
Restaurant Permits
The building permit process for a restaurant can be complicated and confusing. This is why working with a licensed and experienced building surveyor is essential. At Fitout Permits, we always ensure a smooth, user-friendly experience for clients.
Cafe Permits
A great surveyor will control the cafe permit process and help by providing clear information about the documentation and information required. They’ll also deliver a transparent, step-by-step permit application process.
Our Permit Process
Once we have been hired as your commercial building surveyor, we’ll take our time to fully understand your project and your unique requirements. We’ll use this insight, as well as any documentation to determine which permits are required for your cafe or restaurant project. That then allows us to ensure you eventually comply with the applicable codes and regulations.
There is no guarantee that you will be able to commence your project, and this is why your application must be as thorough and detailed as possible. We’ll ensure that you provide all of the necessary information for your permit by explaining the requirements clearly. This is the only way to obtain your building permit, without extensive delays.
We can then issue your permit once compliance has been demonstrated on your project.
