What a process, Thanks Scott. When you have done what you think is your due diligence, (reports and tests done in advance, ready to design and build your dream... read more home with the soil types and BAL levels completed), and then you get thrown a curve ball by the Bureaucrats in Council. Now you're required to provide multiple different reports, in depth risk assessments, extra surveys because you need to satisfy both local and state government legislation in regards to multiple new overlays, oh and all this requires you to engage the services of a Town Planner. If this sounds remotely familiar, or you're just starting out and need a Town Planner, I highly recommend you call Scott Barrett at Elevate Development Services. Scott's communication was in language we could easily understand. The timeframes were explained clearly and calmly, even when I nearly lost it because I had misunderstood the brief. I tried to anticipate, then confirmed with Scott, everything that was going to be required of us and then delivered ASAP on our processes to allow Scott to expedite his. In the end this awesome teamwork between us, saw the Planning Approvals come in a week ahead of schedule. You are the professional service people need to make their journey to construction as smooth as possible. Thanks again Scott, for firstly picking up the phone and getting back to us swiftly, thank you for all your recommendations, your expert guidance and honesty.

Scott will get you better outcomes than the big corporate firms with better personalised service and at a realistic price. I thoroughly investigated 9 firms on the gold coast... read more including town planners who previously worked for the council before making a decision to go with Scott. I read over 40 MCU applications from various town planners and I consistently found that Scott has the ability to understand and satisfy council requirements. When you read failed town planning applications it is clear that the town planner made the wrong assumptions from the start and gave their clients bad advice. When you read Scott's work it is clear that he knows what can and cannot be done and will only give you the right advice. This was exactly my experience with Scott. He gave the best advice and was able to put us through the express application track instead of waiting 6 months (which also saved us a lot of money). Whereas other extremely high profile and expensive town planners did not have the correct knowledge or advice and insisted on charging us more for an unnecessary 6 month process. I even had to explain some of the rules to some other town planners because they were giving me the incorrect advice. I highly recommend Scott - especially if you have a rural zoned property - if your plan will not pass council then he will tell you that it won't. On the other hand if it can pass council then he will tell you how to make it work. Follow his advice.....you'll be glad you did

Efficient and professional, Scott helped us out last minute resulting in a great outcome for our project. Good quick communication which is hard to get these days!

Attempting my first development, I have been a nervous wreck but Scott has patiently answered my every question. I am actually looking forward to the process, which is not something... read more I could say just a few months ago.
