Building Certification for New Home
Client: Aston Milan
When building a new home, look no further than Fluid Building Approvals to get your house certified. When a project builder in Peregian Springs engaged Fluid as the certifier in a developing estate, Fluid was there to help keep the project flowing smoothly.
THE PROJECT PROCESS
Working together: The Fluid Sunshine Coast and Fluid Planning team worked closely with external consultants and the client to ensure that the property complied with the masterplan and design guidelines.
Negotiating the approvals process: As the proposed dwelling was within a noise corridor, Fluid was there to ensure all acoustic construction requirements were met.
Proactive solutions:
As the property was identified to be within a bushfire zone, Fluid conducted the necessary searches of the site to determine the Bushfire Attack Level and provide detailed recommendations to keep the project flowing smoothly.

Went above and beyond to assist us in our project, which was small by comparison to most but they made us feel important. Even when we had drama, the crew were true to their motto & stayed fluid and were supportive to the end.
Fantastic service and very friendly staff that made the whole process so simple from the very beginning. They take care of everything all the way and the inspector when he came out was very courteous and efficient. Would recommend.

I am so impressed with the professional service provided. Was hassle free & very quick. I would highly recommend Fluid Building Approvals to everyone. Stress free high quality service... Thank you!
We recently used Fluid for certification & patio/carport. They were happy to combine the two areas, which saved me some $$. The communication was good & they were great with explaining everything to me along the way.
Absolutely sensational. Our agency had a deal that looked to fall over from an unapproved patio. Enter Fluid. They got a relaxation & the approval we needed - not just getting the sale across the line but saving our client $50k in losses.
From my perspective as an owner builder Fluid Building Approvals were great. They gave me some good tips, were very prompt & were always available when I needed to talk. Their electronic communication was also quick & efficient.
Amazing team that are thorough & provide a fast, reliable and super friendly service that we cannot fault.
The team at Fluid have a wealth of knowledge & are always willing to provide help whenever needed in an efficient manner.
