FAQs
Do I need a building permit for extensions in the eastern suburbs?
Yes. Most extensions and renovations require a permit issued by a registered surveyor to ensure compliance with Victorian regulations.
What’s the difference between a residential building surveyor and a building inspector?
A residential building surveyor in Melbourne is licensed to issue permits and oversee compliance, while a building inspector (such as those in the northern suburbs) typically carries out inspections only.
How much does a building surveyor cost in Melbourne?
The cost of a building surveyor in Melbourne varies depending on project type and complexity. We provide upfront quotes to keep your budget clear.
Do you work in other parts of Melbourne too?
Yes. In addition to the eastern suburbs, we service the western suburbs, provide support with a building inspector in the northern suburbs, and cover south-east Melbourne and other areas across Victoria.
