Yes — all Expandify homes require a building permit in Victoria, including regional and rural installations.
Compliance notes:
- Expandify homes are Class 1a dwellings and must be approved by a registered private certifier or building surveyor
- The customer can use Expandify’s engineering documentation and specifications to support their application
Support available:
- Expandify can assist in coordinating with your local certifier during quoting and Site Assessment
- All required house documents are included with the DIY Kit or provided to the builder in the Complete Package
Permit requirements vary by location and overlay, so it’s important to confirm during the Preliminary Site Feasibility Check (Prelim) stage whether any additional planning conditions (e.g. flood, bushfire, septic) apply to your site.
