3. Compliance & Rectification (The “Rescue” Services)

We are the industry experts in solving existing property headaches and legalizing unapproved works.

• Illegal Works & As-Built Plans: Rectifying unauthorized building works via the Building Information Certificate (BIC) process.

• Pool, Spa & Sauna Compliance: Designing beautiful outdoor sanctuaries that meet the NSW Swimming Pools Act and safety setbacks.
