Building in Australia is governed by permits and ignoring or taking short cuts can end up costing you a lot more in the long run.
You must consider and ask yourself; “Do I need a permit?”, “Do I need a soil test?” and “Do I need drawings” before blindly attacking your project yourself, even if you’re confident in the work.
As a geotechnical consultant, I have been witness to many occasions where their friendly neighbour (or not so friendly neighbour) has dobbed them into council only to face hefty fines and get served with a stop work order.
The fines can range of $5000.00 to >$100,000.00 depending on the circumstances and can put rest to any initial savings you thought you might get away with.
Generally, the first things you will have to do is begin design drafting and get a soil test also known as a site classification, to classify the type of founding material your project will be founded on.
This is very important because soils isn’t soils. Different soils have different bearing capacities and characteristics which require drafting and engineering allowances in order to mitigate any particular characteristic or issue the soil may have.
