Understanding the Notice or Order
Receiving a building notice or order can catch people off guard. In some cases, it relates to work done without the right approvals and in others, it might be tied to non-compliant construction or incomplete documentation. The first step is understanding exactly what’s being asked.
At ABDO Building Surveyors, we review the notice in detail and look at how it applies to your specific situation. That usually involves going back through any existing permits, drawings, or site conditions to identify where the issue sits.
We break it down into clear steps like what needs to be addressed, what can be retained, and what might need to change and help you address it effectively.
Working Towards a Practical Resolution
Once the issue is clear, the focus shifts to resolving it in a way that satisfies the requirements without creating unnecessary delays. This might involve preparing updated documentation, coordinating with consultants, or working through a pathway to bring existing work into compliance. In some cases, that includes applying for retrospective approvals or developing a performance-based approach where standard compliance isn’t achievable.
We also liaise with the relevant council or authority where needed, helping keep communication consistent and focused. Our aim is always to move things forward in a structured way, so the matter can be closed out and the project can continue without ongoing uncertainty.
