A private certifier is engaged to provide documentation required to gain council approval via CDC (comply and development) or DA.

Dimensions X offer a service to prepare documentation required for council approvals.

Time - minimum 3 weeks.

This process can also be managed by you.

A surveyor is required to locate the footing set out for a contractor to install footings. Allow two days for both jobs to be completed. This must be done prior to ordering Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) as columns are cut to size and determined by the slope of your site.

Allow 12 weeks for the production of parts (CLT, doors, windows).

Finished construction - allow approximately 3-8 weeks depending on scope, site conditions and weather which are based upon Dimensions X ‘recommended builders’ allowances.
