Before the Slab, During Construction, After Building Completion or Before Final OC
Facing retaining wall approval issues during your building project? We can help you find a solution.
At Sydney Landscaping, we specialise in retaining wall construction, engineering coordination and CDC & DA approval amendment assistance across Sydney.
Whether you’re just starting construction, already building, or struggling to obtain your Final Occupation Certificate (OC), our team can assist with identifying practical solutions to retaining wall approval challenges.
We Can Assist at Every Stage of Your Project
1. Before Slab Construction
We can review existing retaining wall plans, boundary restrictions, engineering requirements and approval conditions before construction progresses.
Our team helps coordinate with engineers and certifiers to investigate necessary design adjustments and approval pathways.
2. During Slab & Building Construction
Unexpected retaining wall issues can arise during excavation, slab construction or other stages of building.
We assist with reviewing structural conflicts, retaining wall relocation options, revised engineering designs and the necessary CDC or DA approval processes.
Where approval changes are required, affected works must not proceed until the appropriate authorisations are in place.
3. After Building Construction
We help assess the approved plans against the existing works and coordinate with relevant professionals to identify available compliance and rectification options.
Depending on the circumstances, this may involve revised engineering, future construction work or applications to the relevant authorities.
4. After Partial Occupation Certificate (Partial OC)
We can assist with reviewing outstanding approval conditions, engineering documentation and retaining wall construction requirements.
Our team works with the relevant professionals to help clients progress outstanding works towards obtaining an Occupation Certificate for the completed development.
1. Before Slab Construction
We assist with coordinating outstanding retaining wall works, revised plans where required, engineering inspections and relevant documentation.
Our goal is to help resolve the outstanding retaining wall matters that may be preventing the project’s final certification.
