01
A clear starting point.
Define the brief
We discuss your goals, suburb, available information and project priorities. A written scope sets out the drawing package, fees, required inputs and intended use.
From idea towards realityA considered design.
A considered design.
A coordinated way forward.
Good project progress depends on clear decisions and the right information at the right stage. Here is how your design connects to the wider project team.
02
Turn the idea into a direction.
Develop the design
Layouts, elevations and 3D modelling where included help you review the proposal. Feedback is brought together before the agreed documentation progresses.
03
Bring the specialist information together.
Coordinate the package
We coordinate relevant consultant inputs and flag information needed to progress the drawings. Engineering, sustainability and site constraints are considered alongside the design.
04
Present the agreed documentation.
Support assessment
The application follows the pathway appropriate to the property and proposal. KOZGRID prepares the agreed drawing information and coordinates responses to relevant assessment requests within scope.
05
Make the handover purposeful.
Prepare for construction
The agreed drawings are issued for their stated purpose. Any further construction detailing or revisions are confirmed in writing. Your builder and appointed professionals confirm that required approvals, documentation and pre-start requirements are in place.
NSW approval pathwaysKnow which step
Know which step
comes next.
The pathway depends on your site and proposal. Check the applicable requirements with council or a registered certifier before committing to work.
Development application
Council assesses a development application (DA). Where building work requires development consent, a construction certificate is generally also needed before building starts.
KOZGRID’s role: the agreed residential drawings and coordination of relevant supporting information.
Complying development
For eligible proposals meeting the relevant standards, council or a registered certifier may issue a complying development certificate (CDC). A separate construction certificate is not required for work approved by a CDC.
KOZGRID’s role: documentation prepared for assessment, with coordinated revisions where included.
The owner appoints the certifier independently. Required approvals and pre-start requirements must be satisfied before construction. The principal certifier carries out the required inspection and certification role; KOZGRID does not issue approvals or certify building safety.
NSW Government: building approvals ↗Your project teamClear roles.
Clear roles.
Better coordination.
We help keep the drawing information connected. Specialist appointments, deliverables and fees are agreed for your project; every practitioner retains responsibility for their own work.
KOZGRID
Residential building design, technical drawing, digital documentation and design coordination within the agreed scope.
Surveyors
Site, level and boundary information appropriate to the project, provided by the relevant qualified practitioner.
Engineers
Structural, civil, hydraulic or stormwater design and certification where required, by appropriately qualified practitioners.
BASIX / NatHERS assessors
Relevant energy, water and thermal performance assessments. We coordinate the resulting design commitments with the drawings where required.
About BASIX ↗Council & certifiers
Assessment and statutory certification within their respective roles. Your certifier is independently appointed by you.
Your builder & other specialists
Construction delivery and site safety rest with the responsible contractor. Bushfire, geotechnical, arborist and other specialist input may also be needed.
