Planning a St Kilda Building Project
Properties in St Kilda may involve site-specific considerations such as salt exposure, cladding, fixings, corrosion protection, drainage and weathertight detailing. Planning, Building Code and consent requirements vary by property and proposal, so confirm current requirements with Dunedin City Council and design professionals. Cost and scope depend on the property, brief, site conditions and specification.
Site-Specific Coastal Considerations
For coastal properties, confirm site-specific wind, salt exposure, drainage, structural and consent requirements with qualified advisers.
Questions to Resolve Before Building
Discuss the property, proposed scope and required specialist input with qualified advisers before deciding how to proceed.
- Renovation planning: Ask qualified advisers to assess the existing structure, cladding, services, insulation and ventilation before settling the scope.
- New-build planning: Confirm the site's exposure, ground conditions, drainage, design and consent requirements before finalising the proposal.
- Engineering and metalwork: Ask appropriately qualified specialists to confirm structural design, material specifications, coatings and maintenance requirements for the site.
Planning With Qualified Advisers
Ask your designer, engineer and other qualified advisers to confirm the proposed materials, structural design, drainage, weathertight detailing and maintenance requirements. Establish who is responsible for each specification and consent requirement before work begins.
