Unfortunately, because everyone is so litigious in contemporary Australia, this is the cost it has brought. Councils are just covering their backsides. Has Stratco given you a signed structural detail from an engineer? If not, this is why the engineer request from council. Council is mitigating its liable via an engineer that the shed doesnt blow into someone elses house. [quote="jtrain81":e7eppz7m]Hi all Im in Adelaide. I am replacing a 46 year old shed (36M2) with a 48M2 new shed from Stratco. It will go in the same location as the old shed, but will go on a new slab. I have been stuffed around by council since January going through their hoops, as you would expect. Long story short, I had to get a soil core sample done with a report for $815 from a private engineering firm. My question is this, like most of us, I live in a suburb where there are new homes and other construction projects going on in every street every day of the week. What could core samples possibly reveal about the soil/ground on my block, that wouldn't be evident in all the other nearby building projects? The area is flat and there is no history of the suburb being used for industrial purposes. To add insult to injury, after spending nearly $1200 so far on development and building approval plus this report, they have asked me to go back to the same engineering firm for a construction report, despite the fact Stratco have provided a significant engineering report already that covers footings and all other facets of the new shed build. The shed is just that. It's not a granny flat, nobody is going to live in it, there's not going to be any plumbing or sewer connections, it's not going to impact on boundaries and boundary fences or neighbours, and most importantly, whilst bigger than the existing shed, it will occupy most of the same footprint. Am I missing something, or is a Category 1 development (separate/uninhabited outbuilding), as this has been classed in SA, really requiring this level of red tape and expense just to get approval?
