GREATER GEELONG / VICTORIA
Building surveyors
for Greater Geelong.
Building permit assessment, practical guidance and coordinated inspections for Greater Geelong and surrounding communities. An established iPermit service area, supported by one organised team.
01
Your permit assessment and inspections, coordinated.
Our iPermit team manages your building permit assessment, documentation and ongoing project communication. We coordinate inspections through contracted inspectors working in Greater Geelong, so you have a clear point of contact as the project moves forward.
Our office is in Albury. Greater Geelong is an established service area, with inspection arrangements confirmed for your project.
02
From the first application to the final document.
We assist with Victorian building permit assessment, mandatory inspections and the completion documentation identified in the permit—an Occupancy Permit or Certificate of Final Inspection, as applicable.
Planning permission and building permission are separate matters. Check the planning requirements for your property with the relevant council, and provide any planning permit, endorsed plans and conditions with your application. The City of Greater Geelong explains that owners can choose a private building surveyor for their building permit.
Understand the building permit process03
For builders, owners and project teams.
We work with custom home builders, residential builders, commercial builders, pool builders, developers, homeowners and owner-builders. Our team supports projects of varying size, scale and complexity across all building classes. We provide a clear point of contact for your project team to share information, ask questions and coordinate the next assessment or inspection step.
Tell us about the project location, building type and timing. We confirm the service scope and inspection arrangements before engagement. If you have a target assessment date, ask about iPermit Priority; availability and requirements are discussed with the team.
PREPARE FOR YOUR PROJECT
The right documents.
From the start.
A pool application needs pool and barrier information. A commercial proposal needs a clear description of the building use and project scope. Choose your project to prepare a focused Victorian checklist.
Include the estimated cost of works with your quote request, and identify any planning permit or endorsed plans already obtained for the property.

Building in Greater Geelong.
Do you have a Geelong office?
Our office is in Albury. We service Greater Geelong through our iPermit assessment and administration team, with inspections coordinated through contracted inspectors working in the region.
Do you service surrounding areas?
Yes. Our service areas are indicative, and we consider projects in surrounding communities and beyond the shaded map. Send the exact property address so we can confirm arrangements and include relevant inspection and travel details in the scope.
How do I arrange an inspection?
Contact iPermit with the property address, permit or project reference, required inspection stage, site contact and access details. Confirm the booking and any preparation requirements with the team; an online enquiry alone is not an inspection booking.
What if another building surveyor is already appointed?
Tell us before making a new application. An existing appointment cannot simply be replaced by sending a quote request; we will discuss the circumstances and the applicable process.
