What about Building Regulations for home renovation or home extension in Coffs Harbour?
There are a number of types of development (exempt, complying and local are the most common) that need to be considered when looking at renovations or extensions to a property. Most extension projects will require council approval, as will renovation projects that are in heritage areas. For the most part renovations will be exempt development and therefore council approval is not required. We’ll let you know during our initial consultation exactly what approvals may or may not be required and we can guide you through the process.
Some other things worth mentioning in regards to contracts and insurance are listed below:
- Building work over $5,000 requires a contract between the builder and the client. We operate with the HIA standard contracts appropriate to the type of work being undertaken.
- Building work over $20,000 requires insurance to be taken out under the Home Building Compensation Fund (HBCF) and is commonly referred to as Home Owners Warranty Insurance (HOWI).
