Building plans need to conform to the requirements of the National Building Regulations, this is to ensure public safety. The structural engineer takes responsibility for the structural design of the foundations, concrete slabs, beams etc, but there are many aspects of the safety of the building besides just the structure, for example the pool needs to be designed with an adequate boundary to prevent accidents, rooms need to be designed with sufficient light and ventilation, ceilings and stairs need to be designed in the correct proportion. The architect submits house plans which are in conformity with all of these regulations. This usually takes roughly between 5 to 8 weeks, depending on the size of the building and the clients’ input/ response time. Council approval depends on the different councils, but can vary between 4-6 months. Factors such as estate approvals, building line relaxations, sub-divisions, etc can delay this further. The approval period is used to go out to tender, this enables construction to start as soon as the plans are approved.
