Understand the existing building before planning changes

Existing buildings can have physical constraints that are not apparent from floor plans alone. Provide current plans, photographs and the purpose of the review so the need for an inspection or measurements can be assessed.

The review can help identify barriers and priorities for further investigation. Proposed upgrades, approval requirements and the extent of works need to be considered in the context of the particular building and project.

A report records advice within its agreed scope. It is not an approval or a guarantee that an authority will accept the proposal.
