We are seeing more and more uses of the humble shipping container in tenancy fitouts, houses and offices. Architecturally designed, these shipping containers, provide a new wow factor and experience for consumers. Some may even see cost savings in their use.

So, do these shipping containers require a building permit? The answer is Yes.

It is imperative that you obtain a Building Permit AND a Planning Permit or you might find yourself with a Building Notice which may prohibit the use or require demolition/removal of the building/structure.

If you are ever unsure as to whether a Building Permit is required, call our office and we will guide you through the requirements.
