At Permit Point, we specialise in professional building permits and inspections in Melbourne, providing reliable, efficient, and fully compliant surveying services for residential and commercial projects.
What Is a Building Permit?
A building permit is a legal document that authorises construction, alteration, or demolition works. Issued by a registered building surveyor, it confirms that your proposed building work complies with:
The Victorian Building Act and Regulations
Australian Standards
Structural, safety, and accessibility requirements
Local council and planning controls
Without a valid building permit, construction work in Melbourne may be stopped, fined, or deemed unlawful.
Why Building Inspections Are Mandatory
Once a building permit is issued, mandatory inspections must be carried out at specific stages of construction. These inspections ensure that the work matches approved plans and meets safety and compliance standards.
Typical inspection stages include:
Footings and excavation
Slab or sub-floor
Frame inspection
Final inspection
Occupancy permit or certificate of final inspection
Skipping or failing inspections can result in delays, rectification costs, or legal issues.
