"Pre-Lodgement is the Smart First Step"
Before you commit to full engineering or submit to council, it's essential to make sure your idea works — legally, financially, and structurally. That’s where Pre-Lodgement comes in.
🧭 Site Feasibility
Understand wind zones, setbacks, BAL overlay, and your block's true potential before committing to design or engineering.
💸 Saves Money
Avoid wasting thousands on plans or engineering that later get rejected or must be redrawn.
⏱ Saves Time
Get early feedback from your council or certifier, so you're not waiting months to fix things later.
| Without Pre-Lodgement | With Pre-Lodgement |
|---|---|
| ❌ Risk of wasted engineering/design fees | ✅ Know what's feasible before committing |
| ❌ Surprise objections from council | ✅ Early feedback from certifiers or planners |
| ❌ Unclear info for builder or shed supplier | ✅ Real drawings = real quotes = faster progress |
