The Process: From Concept to Completion

Whether you’re after extra room for family, a quiet place to work, or a space to pursue your hobbies—without the need for plumbing—we make the process easy. Here’s how:

Step 1

Understanding Your Needs

The journey starts with a conversation. When you reach out to us, the first thing we ask is: What do you need the space for? This helps us guide you toward the right solution. Some key questions include:

  • Are you looking for extra space for work, hobbies, or guests?
  • With no plumbing needed, what size do you need?
  • Is this a temporary or permanent solution?
  • Do you need/want council approval?

Whatever your needs, we’ll walk you through the possibilities and help determine the best option for your property and lifestyle.

If you’re looking for a simple small space, with no council approval, your journey becomes a simple process which is all covered here,

Step 2

What About Approvals?

As we refine your design, we’ll quickly determine whether council or building approvals are required. This depends on your selected design, your property’s zoning, and local council regulations. The good news? We handle it all for you.

  • In Queensland, designs under 10m² without plumbing typically do not require council approval.
  • In New South Wales, you can build up to 20m² without plumbing approval-free in most cases.
  • If your chosen design falls outside these exemptions, we’ll manage the entire approval process on your behalf—including any necessary consultants or reports. From site compliance to building codes, we ensure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.

Less hassle for you. A faster path from concept to completion.

  • In NSW anything under 20 sqm does not require council approval
