Welcome to the new Building Issues Website

Well, it sure has been a long time in the making, and with a lot of blood sweat and tears along the way, we’re very excited to finally launch our brand new website to complete our re-branding process!

Building Issues has come a very long way in the last 4-5 years, rapidly becoming one of the largest regionally based Building Surveying and Consulting Firms in Victoria and we thought it was time for our image to evolve along-side our new and improved professional team.

The new website has been designed to be a user friendly and interactive tool for the professionals of the industry to keep up to date with building regulation, legislative changes, industry news and also an update on what we’ve been up to and the projects we’ve been involved in of late.

On our home page you will find links to ‘Apply Online’ and ‘Inspection Results’ which we intend on having up and running in the near future, however in the meantime please direct all new building permit applications to applications@buildingissues.com.au and feel free to contact one of our friendly team to check on your inspection results.

With electronic applications and processes being the way of the future, and obviously providing a much faster means of communication and delivery we’ve structured our business processes to align with the current day commands of the building industry – however we’ve got no problem if you prefer to keep things ‘old school’ and drop by the office for a chat with your hardcopy applications and 3x copies of all your documentation! Check out our new downloads page for all the forms and checklists to assist you with your next building permit application.
