Consumer Guide to Building
Building and renovating can feel like an overwhelming process to many people. To help demystify the process, Council recommends that residents start by reading the Building Commission's consumer's guide to building in Victoria (see link below).
The easy-to-understand guide discusses:
- Council permits
- Planning laws
- Sustainable energy ratings
- Buying off the plan
- Contracts
- Owner-builders information
- Choosing architects, builders, building surveyors and tradespeople
- Managing a dispute and more
