Fotia Group provides comprehensive appointed building surveyor services, encompassing permit issuing, regulatory advice, and staged mandatory inspections for construction projects. Founded by Stephen Fotia, this Melbourne-based firm leverages over 20 years of experience in building surveying and construction to assess plans and physical work, ensuring strict compliance with the National Construction Code (NCC) and other relevant regulations. Their end-to-end service guides projects from initial concept to final approval. By liaising directly with councils and consultants, Fotia Group streamlines the path to compliance and works efficiently to minimize delays during the permit process. Engaging their surveying team early in the design process allows potential regulatory issues to be identified and resolved before documentation is finalized, ultimately saving significant time and construction costs. Fotia Group partners with architects, building designers, and property developers across both residential and commercial sectors. Their extensive portfolio includes multi-unit developments, mixed-use projects, retail fit-outs, offices, and education facilities. Committed to delivering practical, solutions-oriented support, the team acts as problem solvers who work collaboratively to find viable, compliant alternatives rather than simply rejecting designs. They provide concise, written guidance that can be easily shared with project teams and clients, alongside fast turnarounds that respect project timelines. Throughout the construction phase, Fotia Group conducts the mandatory staged inspections required to verify that the physical build matches the approved permits, ensuring every development is compliant, safe, and future-proofed.
