Building Permits

HENDRY building surveyors provide consultancy services in the evaluation of designs (building surveying and certification), auditing of properties, buildings and the issuing of Building Permits in the Northern Territory.

HENDRY building surveyor certification services in the Northern Territory are based on the Building Act 2011 and associated Building Regulations 2010, the NT Fire and Emergency Act, the Fire and Emergency Regulations 2010, and the relevant Australian Standards, as referenced in the Building Code of Australia (BCA), and we provide clients with a complete service for their building and property related needs.

Northern Territory legislation determines the issuing of Building Applications and Building Permits, which is a mandatory procedure and must be issued before a person can carry out building work. Significant penalties apply if building work commences before Building Applications and Building Permits are issued.

Generally, only very minor work is exempt from obtaining permits. It is also important to note that the terminology used to describe approvals of building work in each state and territory is in some cases significantly different, and although some terminology may be the same their meanings may be completely different.

HENDRY building surveyors have a wealth of experience in assisting clients with their requirements in the application and implementation of Northern Territory planning, building and compliance requirements, and are your logical choice for consulting services.
