Construction - approvals

About permits.

Approvals are a design problem - solved at the drawing board.

Storybook designs within the rules from the first sketch, then supports your permit application with the documentation authorities expect.

How Storybook de-risks approval

Designed to be approved

  1. i

    The site is modelled first

    A 3D model from a professional feature survey grounds every decision in the real block.

  2. ii

    Constraints analysed up front

    Setbacks, height limits, driveway access, neighbour privacy, overshadowing and vegetation - checked before the design begins.

  3. iii

    A feasible envelope established

    The design is composed inside what can be approved, so the permit application confirms rather than gambles.

  4. iv

    Documentation for the application

    Plans and documentation prepared to support your permit application - with your consultant guiding the process.

While the permit processes

The waiting period is a gift

Permit processing time is when smart clients interview trades, compare builder quotes and finalise their construction pathway - so approval day is start day.
