Educational Building Permits (class 9b)

A building project that involves a school or educational institution will require a special type of permit – in this case, that is a school building permit. Projects that may require this type of permit include a new school construction project, a school renovation, a change of use, or a demolition project for an educational structure. To find out if you do require a school permit, get in touch with an expert building surveyor.

School Building Permits

The process of obtaining a permit for a school can be difficult to navigate. This is exactly why an experienced building surveyor is an integral part of obtaining your permit in an efficient and stress-free way. A licensed surveyor will take control of the process and help by providing clear requirements and a transparent, step-by-step permit application.

Our School Building Permit Process

Once we have been hired as your commercial building surveyor, we’ll sit down with you and ensure that we have all of the details and information about your project. We’ll then use that information and documentation to determine the types of permits that are required for your school, ensuring that you will comply with the applicable codes and regulations.

There is no guarantee that you will be able to commence or continue with your project, which is why every permit application must be thorough and correct. We’ll ensure that you provide all of the necessary documentation and information as quickly as possible. That is the only way to obtain the correct permit, without extensive delays.

We can then issue your school building permit, once compliance has been demonstrated.

Questions & Answers

Frequently
asked
Questions

State laws and regulations require that you have a commercial building permit for certain building works. This includes commercial fit outs, renovations and refurbishments, new construction projects, and more.

The cost of a commercial building permit can vary depending on the project. Contact a building surveyor or your local council to find further information about permit costs.

A commercial permit can take some time, often ranging from weeks to months. This is why it’s important to start the process as soon as possible, to avoid delays on your project.

It’s illegal to begin certain building works without a building permit. If you do so, you can face hefty fines, legal ramifications, and may be required to demolish or rectify the works that you’ve completed at your own expense.
