I am planning to convert my garage into a Small Office Unit (SOU) with a bedroom and bathroom, located in Saint Albans, Melbourne. I seek your expertise to ensure compliance with the National Construction Code (NCC) and to navigate the permit process efficiently. Below, I've outlined the specifics of my project with attention to compliance requirements: 1. **Insulation**: To meet the NCC's energy efficiency provisions, particularly Section J for residential buildings, I intend to incorporate high-performance insulation in walls and ceilings, ensuring an optimal thermal performance rating. 2. **Plumbing**: The addition of a bathroom necessitates compliance with NCC Volume Three - Plumbing Code of Australia (PCA), focusing on water efficiency, sanitary drainage, and waterproofing requirements. 3. **Waterproofing**: Adhering to AS 3740 - Waterproofing of domestic wet areas, to prevent moisture damage and ensure the integrity of bathroom areas. 4. **Ceiling Height**: In alignment with NCC Building Code of Australia Volume Two, Part 3.8.2, the conversion will feature ceiling heights of at least 2.4 meters for more than two-thirds of the floor area, providing adequate headroom and ventilation. 5. **Windows and Natural Light**: Upgrading garage windows to double-glazed units to enhance thermal efficiency and sound insulation, adhering to the NCC's Part 3.8.5 requirement for natural light. The design will ensure window sizes meet at least 10% of the floor area, aligning with NCC Volume Two, Part 3.8.4 for natural lighting. 6. **Garage Door**: Considering the installation of a new garage door with integrated windows, to fulfill the NCC's natural light requirements while contemplating aesthetics and functionality. The design will ensure compliance with relevant Australian Standards for garage doors in residential applications, considering security, insulation, and operational safety.

Looking for a building surveyor to issue a permit (?). Our office wants to create a partition on a hallway that separates two rooms (floor plan as attached). I believe the hallway is a path to the emergency exit. Just want to know if : - It is possible to build a partition with a door lock on it? And if so, what are the requirements? - Do I need any approval or permits from the council to do this renovation?

Hi, I’m looking for a surveyor for my very small home renovation project. A few people said I may need a building permit when other said no. So I need that clarified. And if I don’t need a permit I reckon I’ll need to at least have it in writing. I’d like to get a quote for that please. I’m hoping to install two extra walls up in my living room. They will be built off site and only 1.8m tall so they’re more like an L shape room divider rather than walls. But it’ll be fixed in place for more support. No new door will be added. Second thing is I’d like to install a double sink next to the existing kitchen bench. There was a dish washer at the end of the bench right next to where I’d installed the new sink which I will use the existing water outlet and drain from there. It won’t change any plumbing system. Please let me know if you can help me with this and need any information. Thank you Kaveeya - Due date: Before Friday, 4 November 2022
