The law in Western Australia stipulates that roof replacement works in metropolitan and regional areas cannot proceed until a building permit has been applied for and approved. If you do not have an approved project, approved workers and all necessary permits, you are unnecessarily risking legal penalties. This is particularly important if you are planning on selling your home in the future as any unapproved building projects may cause legal complications. Fortunately, the laws are relatively simple and The Roof & Wall Doctor is happy to assist with Council permits and approval issues.
