How it works for deck projects
Enter the customer's address. Answer a few plain-English questions about the deck (height, size, materials). The tool pulls zoning and overlay data from Australian government sources and generates a lodgement-ready report — including the most likely approval pathway (exempt, CDC, or DA), a draft SEE, and a document checklist.
