    Bottom line

    Commercial consent is about coordination, timing and the right specialist evidence.

    Commercial projects often involve fire design, accessibility, structural changes, specified systems, ventilation, drainage, food premises requirements, tenancy deadlines and landlord constraints. We help turn those inputs into a council-ready commercial package.

    Commercial pathways

    Choose the support that matches the business risk.

    Each pathway is written for a different type of commercial project so the right information goes deeper on the right page.

    How it works

    Commercial consent support needs clean coordination.

    The goal is to make the consent package easier for council, consultants, tenants, landlords and contractors to understand.

    1

    Review the tenancy and use

    We review the address, existing records, lease notes, proposed business use, photos, sketches and landlord or council comments.

    2

    Identify consent inputs

    We map likely architectural, fire, accessibility, structural, drainage, ventilation, specified systems and producer statement needs.

    3

    Coordinate drawings and reports

    Architectural documentation is prepared and aligned with specialist information so the consent package tells one clear story.

    4

    Track producer statements

    We clarify which PS1, PS3 or PS4 documents may be needed and who is responsible for each specialist scope.

    5

    Support council processing

    If council requests clarification on our documentation, we help organise responses and consultant updates.

    6

    Keep costs transparent

    Specialist consultant fees and fixed-fee documentation stages are separated so the next commitment is clear.

    Yes. If the RFI relates to architectural information, fire input, accessibility, structural coordination, producer statements or tenancy scope, we can help organise the response pathway.
