We aim to provide the most cost efficient design using innovative solutions to get you in and out of a subdivision project in the fastest way possible. We have years of experience in constructing subdivisions ourselves, so we know where to save you money!
Our background is in project management and civil construction, so we know where to save you costs during your operational works phase. If need help pricing the construction of your project contact Pembroke Construction to assit.
Dependant upon the scale of your development project, if you are requiring significant infrastructure works (e.g. a sewer connection, earthworks, or constructing a road), you will likely need an approval for Operational Works.
Operational Works approvals might encompass activities such as Filling and Excavation, road construction, management of vegetation and/or restoration, stormwater drainage (excluding house drainage), and footpath construction, among other types of infrastructure. But, don’t forget the common ones such as permits for the provision of water and sewer reticulation, electricity, and telecommunication supply.
Any civil engineer who has a degree in engineering can prepare an application for operational works but we recommend using someone familiar with the local council planning scheme policies and utility provider requirements. In Queensland, all engineering plans at the OPW stage will be required to be signed by a Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland (RPEQ).
We do note, an Operational Works application does not necessarily need to be lodged by a civil engineering firm. Anyone can lodge the application so long as it is accompanied by sufficient supporting documentation.
For any operational works with construction value greater than $150,000, The Building and Construction Industry (Portable Long Service Leave) Act 1991 (the Act) ensures the provision of paid leave to workers for service to the building and construction industry.
Under the Act, workers are entitled to long service leave payments regardless of whether they work on different projects for one or more employers. Workers are paid leave in recognition of their continuous service to the industry.
We make sure any levy fees are accounted for and paid.
RPEQ stands for “Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland.” It is a professional accreditation that is required by law for engineers who want to offer engineering services in Queensland, Australia. The registration ensures that the engineer has met certain education, experience, and competency standards and is bound by a code of ethics.
An RPEQ is responsible for ensuring that any engineering work they perform complies with relevant standards, regulations, and legislation, and they may also be required to provide certification or sign-off on certain engineering projects.
Bravo Consult has an RPEQ on board to provide this exact service.
