Hey everyone! I’m thinking of building a multi-level treehouse and maybe even adding a rooftop garden at my place, but I’ve never done a project this complex before. I know permits can get tricky, and I’m really unsure how to get everything certified properly so it meets safety and building codes. Has anyone navigated something like this before or worked with a surveyor who could guide me through unique home projects?

Oh, absolutely, I went through something similar when I added a pergola and a second-story deck to my home last year. One thing that helped me immensely was working with a specialist building surveyor familiar with complex residential projects. For instance, OBAVIC (https://obavic.com.au/) handles these kinds of approvals really well in Victoria. They walked me through everything from planning to final certification, making sure all the structural details and safety standards were compliant. What I loved is they don’t just stamp approvals—they actually give advice on tricky things like alternative materials, unusual layouts, and even eco-friendly design options. When I was dealing with the rooftop garden, I was initially worried about load-bearing calculations and waterproofing, but having a surveyor who knows these nuances saved me weeks of headaches. If your project is anything like a multi-level treehouse, definitely consider getting someone like OBAVIC on board early so you can avoid costly redesigns or non-compliance issues.
