Building surveying services and practical compliance advice

As well as Building permits, CFL provides expert advice for pool and spa safety barrier compliance, preliminary assessments, illegal building works, council notices and general building surveying consulting.

Building Surveying Support

CFL can provide preliminary design advice and onsite consultation for proposed or existing swimming pool and spa barriers, helping clients understand the requirements of Australian Standard 1926.1-2024 or the previously applicable standard.

Preliminary advice can help identify potential compliance matters, documentation gaps and possible building solutions before a project moves into formal permit assessment.

If you have constructed work as an owner-builder within the previous six and a half years and wish to sell, a Section 137B defects report may be required. This can apply to additions, renovations, verandahs, pergolas, retaining walls, decks, swimming pools and associated barriers.
