Helpful information

A detailed survey is the key to starting the process of a subdivision application. It’s required before you can submit your application to the relevant council for approval. The application includes: The boundary realignment you are proposing The multiple lots you are planning to create Setbacks and dimensions of existing dwellings Information on contours, easements and services to the site.


A soil test is always worth doing if you or a future owner is going to build on the site. Make sure you conduct a soil test as part of your due diligence. You want to ensure that there are no hazards that would prevent you from building on the site. The soil test will also detail the type of soil you have on your hands. This will affect the foundations required for a dwelling.


Electricity and Telecommunications: Do you need to bring power to the site? Do the services run overhead, or underground? These factors will cause a large variance in cost. 

You will most likely need to prove that power and telecommunications can be provided. For that you’ll need a compliance certificate.



It’s impossible to foresee every cost for the project. That’s why it’s so important to have a contingency fund available. You’ll need it when extra expenses pop up. Materials can increase in cost. Something happens and suddenly you have unfavourable market conditions. You need to be prepared, so how can you allow for these unforeseen items? By always being conservative with your budgeted numbers. Always allow 15% of the total costs in your contingency budget.
