Fitout Building Work and Building Approvals

July 24, 2017

There is often confusion over what building work would require approval when undertaking a fitout.

Where the works involve a change in the internal layout of a tenancy, it usually requires a building approval.

 

Building Approval for Retail FitoutThis is because the new building works have the potential to affect critical safety and compliance items such as:

  • Fire service coverage effectiveness – detection & suppression systems and fire hose reel / fire hydrant coverage, sprinkler locations etc.
  • Paths of travel / egress in the event of an emergency
  • Equitable access for the occupants

 

Building Approval for Retail Fitout - Fire service coverage - Call Professional Certification Group

 

It is recommended that if unsure, refer your proposed plans to a Private Certifier for review.
