Heritage Overlay

SKT Building Designs has extensive experience in all planning overlays and in particular, Heritage overlay. We will speak with you in regards to the Heritage overlay on your subject site and any specific design guidelines that may be imposed by your local council. With SKT Building Designs you will be informed of how the overlay will affect your specific design and, along with your design brief, a concept/ sketch design will be produced with a realistic expectation of obtaining council approval.

What is a Heritage Overlay

Heritage overlay is enforced when local council has determined the existing structure has a heritage significance and needs to be protected. When making alterations to an existing heritage structure a careful balance needs to be considered between conserving elements of significance while still achieving all of the clients desires.

I employed Shannon Treloar at SKT Building Designs to work on a subdivision for me where we were required to provided architectural plans, and building reports to the council for the purposes of obtaining permits for the subdivision. Shannon took care of everything for me. The Council were quite picky and difficult to deal with until Shannon took over.

With Shannon’s experience and professionalism we were able meet all of the Councils requirements in a timely manner and the subdivision has gone through successfully. Without Shannon’s professional advice and detailed plans and reports I am sure it would have been a much more difficult and arduous process.

Shannon was always prompt in returning calls or emails (which I think is very important) and making any amendments requested by the Council. He provided invaluable opinions and insights and his positive attitude and efficient handling of this matter was wonderful.

I will definitely be using SKT Building Designs again for my next project !

Our demolition and new build project encountered some challenges. Shannon brought much valued problem solving and creativity to help alleviate these challenges in a simple and considered manner

Camberwell, 2014 -- Rod Kamleshwaran

I recently dealt with SKT Building Designs (Shannon Treloar) and he helped me with design and he also did all the working drawings for me. It wasn't a straight forward job it had fall in the land and a huge eight car garage. I found Shannon to be very professional,prompt in returning my calls and was very impressed.

If I was to do any other projects I would definitely use Shannon Treloar and I highly recommend him.
