Hi Guys
We're looking at purchase a unit on a cross lease property and converting the garage into another bedroom. Has anyone done this and if so, advise on what is required both in terms of council paperwork and requirements to make the building legal?
Since the garage has a step down we will be looking at building a raised floor about 20-30cm high and will also do a false wall to including insulation as one side is brick.
What other building code requirement is required?
Also what cost is expected from council and other stuff required?
I'll be doing the plans drawings myself as I'm a mechanical engineer / draughtsman by trade and the building work will be done by myself and dad (owner builder exemption if required).
No plumbing to be done and electrical work will be by registered electrician.
