An independent assessment, to accompany your application.
For a lot owner, or an architect or builder acting for one. Attach what you have and we read it — what the works trigger, what the scheme’s by-laws require, what is missing, and what the committee will be asked to consider. Forty-eight hours. We do not ask you to categorise your own works; reading the documents is the job.
Step 1 of 3
Your building
We assess applications for schemes that have engaged us. That is what keeps the assessment independent.

Step 2 of 3
Your documents
Generated from this scheme’s by-laws and its Renovations Manual. Five documents are required of everyone. The rest depend on your works — attach what you have, mark the rest not applicable. Neither answer changes the fee, and if you are unsure whether something applies, that is what you are asking us.
Before you start — three things this scheme catches people out on
Required of every application
Five documents. Without them there is nothing to review.
Depending on your works
Attach what you have; mark the rest not applicable. If you are not sure whether one applies, attach nothing and say so — that is a question the report answers, not one you have to answer first.
Helpful if you have it — never required
None of these hold up a submission. Each one shortens the review.
Your documents upload first, then the payment page opens.
Nothing is charged until you complete payment, and the reference above travels with both — so the documents and the payment meet on our side without you doing anything. If the upload fails you will be told before any money moves.
One assessment. There is no cheaper version.
Every application gets the same work: what the works are, who can approve them, what they do to the building, what they trigger, risk-rated findings with recommended conditions, and resolution wording the committee can minute. Nothing is held back for a higher tier, and nothing you enter here changes what you pay.
Who this is for.
The assessment is prepared for the owners corporation, which decides your application. You pay for it as a condition of having the application considered, but you are not our client and you may not rely on it. Nothing in it approves anything — only the owners corporation can, and it is not bound by any recommendation we make.
$850 incl GST, five business days from a complete submission. Not refundable, and it does not purchase an outcome. Attendance on site, or coordinated engineering and legal input, are quoted separately and only where the application calls for them. What is in the report.

The assessment is prepared for the owners corporation, which decides the application. It is not legal advice, and where a matter turns on the construction of the scheme’s by-laws or on legal rights and obligations, we identify it and refer it to the scheme’s solicitor.
