Avoiding Costly Mistakes – Why Planning and Compliance Matter
Share
There’s nothing worse than getting halfway through a project and realizing you’ve overlooked something important. Maybe a critical planning condition wasn’t discharged. Maybe a structural change wasn’t accounted for. Maybe an assumption about what’s allowed turns out to be incorrect. These are the kinds of mistakes that cost homeowners thousands to fix—and they’re completely avoidable.
In a recent Thought for the Weekend, I wrote about the hidden risks of skipping the ‘boring bits’ in favour of moving ahead too quickly. Things like measured surveys, planning maps, CDM Pre-Construction Information Reports, and compliance approvals might not be exciting—but they are the foundation of a smooth, stress-free project.
That’s why I offer Pre & Post Design Services—to ensure you have everything you need before you build and that you meet all requirements when the project is complete. Whether you’re just starting or need help finalizing approvals, these services can save you time, money, and headaches down the line.
