Building surveryors/permits

[EFFalcon]

Does anyone know any building surveyors that may be able to help me get a building permit for an above ground pool.

our local council can supply one but they have limitations on fencing, that can be avoided by getting a building permit through a private building surveyor.

Figured it might be worth asking if any one on here knows someone!

Thanks!

why would you need a surveyor to get a building permit?

[EFFalcon]

because from what i can establish, a lot of building serveyer firms can issue building permits.

doesn't matter now, i've gone through the coucil.

yeah. sorry brain lapse. Im a surveyor and didnt think.

a private firm can do it quicker for more $$$, but obviously council does it cheaper and slower.

goodluck with it, just have patience lol

Sorta, Council has their own rules as to how things need to be done.
More limitations on fenceing n stuff
