An Asset Protection Permit is designed to protect local council's infrastructure assets that may be affected by building works. Council's infrastructure assets include anything outside the property, but are not limited to vehicle crossings, footpaths, nature strips, drains and pits, kerb, road pavement, trees, signs, poles and hydrants.
An Asset Protection Permit is issued to enable Owners and Builders to transport building materials and equipment across Council infrastructure assets.
It is important to make a thorough inspection of all council Assets prior to submitting an Asset Protection Application. Any existing damage should be noted, photographed and reported to the council. Asset Protection Permits will protect you the owner of the site against paying for existing damage to Council infrastructure.

DEMOLITION
Before you are able to demolish an existing residence, a Demolition Permit is required.
A demolition permit can be obtains through your local council or through your building surveyor. Before a permit can be issued there are a number of steps to be completed.
Gas and electricity services to the property need to be abolished. This means that all service lines need to be removed and the meters taken away prior to demolition.
(It can take up to 20 working days for the relevant authorities to complete this process.)
Relevant Paperwork must be gathered:
• A consent form signed by the property owner authorizing the demolition of the residence.
• Copy of 'Title' for the property
• Site plan of the existing building
Tree removal permits may need to be obtained from the local Council, depending on size of the tree, and if it is located in a vegetation protection overlay.
An Asset Protection permit needs to be obtained from your Local Council, prior to demolition starting.
Only after all the above has been completed can a demolition permit be applied for. The assessment of the permit application take approximately two weeks.

PRE CONSTRUCTION
This is perhaps the most important stage of your building project. Preconstruction planning helps to ensure that your home is built on time and on budget.
Many home owners find this stage of the build process frustrating. Nothing seems to be happening. The "instant gratification" level is very low. Your lot remains empty and no work on site is being done. It begins to seem like you will never break ground. It is however a hugely important stage of the build.
Preconstruction Tasks
There are many important tasks that take place during preconstruction.
- · Home design is finalized and construction drawings are prepared.
- · Engineering Drawings are prepared
- · Plans are assessed for Energy Efficiency
- · Soil Reports are commissioned
- · Obtaining the necessary paperwork, including:
o A current copy of Title
o Town Planning Permit & Endorsed Drawings
o A plan of subdivision
o A Sewer Plan
o Council Property Information
o Council Legal Point of Discharge
Only after you have gather all of the above documentation are you ready to apply for a building permit.
Some projects actually require the demolition of an existing residence before even the pre-construction process can begin.

What is a Truss Roof?
A truss roof is a triangular wooden structure constructed in mass quantities at a factory and shipped to job sites. At the site, the truss roof frames are put together by framing carpenters.
The popularity of truss roofs is based on five basic benefits they have over conventional framed roofs.
These include
These include
· exceptional strength,
· low cost,
· variety of styles,
· flexible and adaptable designs,
· quick installation.
It is easy to visually identity a truss roof system. It is webbed together using 2 inch (5.08 cm) by 4 inch (10.16 cm) timber, which is very strong. The wood is securely fastened together with metal ties, and the system design provides equal distribution of weight to the interior walls and ceiling supports.
