As the end of the Financial year approaches, there are many deals in the marketplace. As you look to lock in a great saving on a shed, the approvals space also has some deals to take advantage of! This includes Fernleigh Drafting’s End of Financial Year Sale! Save 20% off your invoice value, when you order a PlanDAT report and Stay within the Report Guidelines for your proposed development.
Not only will you receive a discount on your project, the data shows that staying within the guidelines of PlanDAT saves you further time and money in the Shed drafting, approval and construction process.
How?
- Variations to council guidelines = Longer in council, more Back and Forth.
- There is no cheaper time to build than now. The longer you wait, greater variables come into play, build costs, material price changes, conclusions of sales, etc.
- Councils are quieter, housing is quieter, and EOFY sees an increase in council applications approved for council to meet KPI’s. May and June see a marked increase in DA approvals issued!
- When your shed is in manufacturing, you can go from planning to construction, and this starts with staying within the lines, ordering a PlanDAT report and designing around what you can actually do on your site.
What does this look like in Action?
Take a recent great outcome for Fernleigh Drafting, a Job that was designed around a PlanDAT Report to make sure the key guidelines of the proposal and building design were consistent with the council Development Control Plan (‘DCP’) (their rules for sheds within the council) at design stage. Then further reviewed against the DCP at the Statement of Environmental Effects stage.
This project in the below chart took only 15 days in council! And 37 Days total from commencement. Based on this council’s average of 84 Days, that’s 82% faster than the council’s average! Not all jobs are like this, some take longer unfortunately, however it is possible to have a quick approval when you present council with a compliant and clear proposal.
In the last couple of months, Fernleigh’s Plans and Submission Package have further achieved great turnarounds well ahead of the council annual average. These turn-arounds all kept within the guidelines of the PlanDAT report!
The green line shows the timing from submission to approval on seven recent approvals received, where the red shows the council’s current average turn around on jobs as a comparison. You can see, these projects have been approved over 50% faster than the average!
As EOFY approaches, it is likely more jobs are submitted to council, get in now before the rush! If you are looking at getting a shed project started, order your PlanDAT report here today
