12.01.2022 Dilapidation Reports Whenever you are conducting new work you need to consider your neighbours. A new retaining wall, alterations to existing structures, road construction, demolition projects and underground tunneling can all cause damage to nearby structures. Even when these projects are carried out carefully and effectively managed, there’s always the potential for damage to neighbours property. When builders and owners obtain a dilapidation report from Fox Building Certi...fiers before work begins, all involved parties are protected against messy disputes in the event of unintended structural damage. Dilapidation reports are conducted by Fox Building Certifiers in two stages. Our building inspections will document the condition of the building prior to works commencing, any pre-existing cracking or structural damage, or a lack thereof. After the project, we will return to assess the condition of the properties, in order to prevent disputes in the event of property damage sustained as a direct result of the work being done. Fox Building Certifiers are approached by both property owners and builders to protect their interests. Come see Mick in office 1/92 Byron Street, Inverell or phone 0409 368 371 [email protected]

07.01.2022 A Development Application (DA) is a formal request for consent to carry out any form of development on a parcel of land in NSW. This type of Development Approval is the most common way of getting development consent in NSW. In almost all cases Council issues the development consent, although a State agency (Consent Authority) may do occasionally. A Development Consent does not give the applicant or owner the right to commence work, as a Development Consent carries Council con...ditions of that approval. These conditions must be satisfied before any work commences. These conditions carry mandatory conditions of approval which include the issue of a Construction Certificate. A Construction Certificate is required after a Development Consent is approved and is issued by the Council or Private Certifier (FOX BUILDING CERTIFIERS) and before any building work is carried out. It certifies that: - all statutory conditions of approval have been met ie: Section 94 contributions, Home Warranty Insurance. - the construction plans and specification comply with the relevant standards (ie National Construction Code & Australian Standards). - the construction plans and specifications are consistent with the development consent; and - all conditions of the development consent requiring compliance prior to the issue of a construction certificate are finalised.

04.01.2022 Structural Slab Detail Inspection Boland Drive The engineering system pictured is just one of many designs for highly reactive soil types for this region.... This slab has screw-in steel piers sunk 4 metres into the ground. A cardboard waffle pad is constructed under the black plastic and concrete is then poured for the start of the dwelling. The cardboard pods are there to allow the soil to swell and contract without damaging the concrete slab.
