Get a Building Surveyor for your unauthorised work

Do you have an illegal structure on your property which you need approval for?

When it comes to buy or sell a property, you need to make sure that all the structures including patios, sheds, pool fencing, spa, swimming pool etc. have been approved. If this is not the case, then a retrospective approval is required which involves various sorts of specialised work such as a building surveyor, an engineer and a draftsperson if needed.
