What is different about building here

Building conditions change from one part of Brisbane to another. These are the ones that matter in this area.

  • Two councils, one process

    The northside spans Brisbane City Council and Moreton Bay Regional Council, split roughly along the Pine River. The three things that decide approval are the same on both sides. Where the application goes and what it costs are different. We lodge with both.

  • Coastal exposure at the bay end

    Redcliffe, Sandgate, Brighton and Bribie are close enough to salt air that the steel specification and the fixings matter as much as the frame. We choose them when we quote. A flat-pack kit does not give you that choice.

  • Post-war stock inland

    Chermside, Everton Park and Stafford have lots of post-war homes on stumps, with driveways that fall away from the house. That fall is the most common reason a kit does not fit a northside block.

Your council, and what it wants

More than one council covers this area: Brisbane City Council, Moreton Bay Regional Council. The three things that decide approval are the same across South East Queensland. They are mean height, boundary setback and any overlay over your property.

You can build to within 500mm of a boundary with your neighbour's written agreement, and approval usually runs 2–6 weeks.

We prepare the drawings, lodge the application and deal with the council, whichever one it is.

With your neighbour's written agreement, the setback can come down to 500mm.
