controls & regulations
The construction industry is tightly controlled in Australia for both the betterment of the industry and the safety of the consumer.
Typically every local council will have extensive planning and building controls which are freely available for the public.
When designing your building we refer to these documents in order to ensure compliance with the various codes, standards, and guidelines in relation to the design of the building.
