From time to time we get phone calls and emails asking for quotes on the installation of fire alarms in commercial and residential buildings. It’s important to remember any installation of an essential service in Victoria requires a building permit. This includes a fire alarm. Generally the permit and design cost is insignificsnt to cost of the work done and in the event something goes wrong every box had been ticked and everyone can sleep easy! Building permits for small installations and alterations range in price from $1000 to $1500, the market in Melbourne is private so there are loads of surveyors looking for work so it’s not hard to get permit.
How can we help?
We can’t help you with a permit but we can help with the paper work so call or email if you need documentation for a building permit.
