The Permit "Fast-Track" & The 72-Hour Build
3 days of trades vs. 6 months of chaos.
In Melbourne, we have a saying: "The permit takes longer than the project." For a traditional brick-and-mortar house extension, you’re usually looking at a 6-to-12-month dance with council and architects before a single nail is even driven.
But the real "hidden cost" of a traditional renovation isn't on the quote—it's the lifestyle tax.
The Traditional Extension Reality:
• 6+ Months of "tradie traffic" through your home.
• Portable toilets on your front lawn.
• Dust in every room, no matter how much you tape the doors.
• Living in a construction zone that tests every family’s patience.
The Outdoor Room "Hack":
The beauty of our Outdoor Room systems is the streamlined approval path and the precision-engineered build. Because these structures are manufactured off-site and fall under a different Victorian building classification (Class 10a), the process is night-and-day:
1. Fast-Track Approvals: We bypass the "habitable room" complexity that bogs down traditional builders for a year in planning.
2. The 3-Day Transformation: While a builder is still waiting for their concrete to cure, our team can typically complete your entire installation in just 3 days.
3. Zero Disruption: There are no skip bins for months, no "mud tracks" through the house, and no six-month disruption to your peace of mind. We arrive on Tuesday; you’re hosting dinner in your new room by Friday.
If you need more space this year—and you’d rather keep your sanity in the process—this is the path of least resistance.
Our team is here to help you design and build the perfect outdoor living room. Contact us today for a free measure and quote, and let’s turn your outdoors into a space you’ll love for years to come.
