Service
Design and Permit Coordination
Coordinating the design work and the authorization paperwork so a project can proceed in the correct order.
What this service involves
- Engaging the appropriate qualified professional to prepare the system design for your site.
- Assembling the supporting information a submission needs — site details, plans, soils information and building particulars.
- Tracking the submission and keeping you informed about where the paperwork stands.
- Relaying any conditions or requests for further information back to you in plain language.
- Making sure the design that finally gets built is the version that was authorized.
When this may be required
- Any new system installation.
- A replacement or significant alteration of an existing system.
- A change of use or added dwelling that affects the load on a system.
- A project where several parties — designer, installer, builder, owner — need to stay aligned.
The general TTIS process
- 01
Confirm what the project needs
The scope of design and authorization work is established from the site assessment findings.
- 02
Coordinate the design
The qualified professional prepares the design; we make sure they have the site information they need.
- 03
Prepare and submit the paperwork
Documentation is compiled and submitted, and we keep track of what has gone in.
- 04
Keep you updated
You are told what stage the paperwork is at and what is outstanding. Approval decisions rest with the authority and cannot be guaranteed.
Every property is different. Timing, cost, system suitability and authorization outcomes depend on the site and on decisions made by others, so we describe the process rather than promise a result.
What to have ready
- Ownership and parcel details.
- Building plans, floor plans or bedroom counts.
- Site assessment or soils information already completed.
- Any previous permits, records or correspondence about the property.
- Contact details for your builder, designer or realtor if they are involved.
If you do not have some of this, that is fine — bring what you have.
