Building surveying services with expert guidance from the start
CFL provides a comprehensive building permit and inspection service across Melbourne and Victoria, with expertise in custom-designed, high-end residential projects.
A Melbourne practice built on experience and reliability
CFL Surveyors is a Melbourne-based firm of private building surveyors located in Mont Albert. Commencing in 1995 and merging to form CFL in 2008, the practice has been appointed as Relevant Building Surveyor for a broad range of building projects through more than 30 years of industry change.
CFL is experienced in providing building permits for swimming pools, spas and associated safety barriers. We understand the complexities that can arise from what may appear to be a simple concept.
We can help navigate Building Regulations 2018 (Part 9A specifically) that requires existing safety barriers to be registered, maintained and inspected every four years with resubmission to the appropriate municipality.
CFL helps stakeholders through the building permit process with clarity and confidence, from preliminary assessment through to permit issue, inspections and completion.
Every permit is handled by registered and practising Directors, ensuring clients benefit from the expertise of experienced practitioners and a reliable, responsive service.
Preliminary advice from a building surveyor can help identify compliance matters which can be addressed early, to avoid costly delays at a later and more crucial stage.
Avoiding these altogether or potential building solutions before the formal application could create avoidable challenges or problems later in your project.
If work has been undertaken without the required approval, commenced prior to approval being granted, or is subject to Council Notice and Order(s), CFL can assess the available information and advise on the options and potential next steps.
